Sometimes a special occasion calls for a celebration at a special restaurant, a place where you can splurge a bit and treat yourself to a pricey meal full of delicious food, incredible service and ambiance for a memorable experience fit for the occasion you are celebrating.

LoveFood compiled a list of the "most expensive restaurant" in every state, basing its choices on "the priciest main course or tasting menu, and avoiding spots with just one very expensive dish." According to the site, the top spot in all of Tennessee is Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse in Nashville, which has mouthwatering steak options that are worth the sky-high price. Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, which has a 4.7 star rating on Google and more than 2,800 reviews, is located at 300 4th Avenue N.

Here's what the site had to say about this expensive Volunteer State spot:

"This stylish Arts District steakhouse (a sister location to Kentucky's most expensive restaurant) is a favorite special occasion spot thanks to its elegant atmosphere and excellent hand-crafted steaks. Meat this good doesn't come cheap, of course. The priciest option for an entrée at Jeff Ruby's is a 6oz wagyu filet, at $178. You can always splash out a little more by adding embellishments like red king crab or Louisiana crawfish, too."
