    The Brussel sprouts and hush puppies were fantastic! We didn't try as many things as we wanted to, but what we did eat we really enjoyed. It wasn't very crowded and the ambience was very nice. Our server did a great job.

    Dinner was great. It took a while for the waiter to get our order. Outside of that, it was excellent.

    Waitstaff person was not focused on what we ordered and brought us an incorrect item. Wine person was verbose and cryptic in his answers to our questions. Also the wine was mediocre. Would not choose this place again when in Nashville.

    Ok we really had little to choose from the menu ….too electric for our tastes. Our server was horrible, never smiled, confused over drinks she never heard of apparently. Paid good money to eat just to listen to loud mouth 20 somethings for our entire meal. Never saw management ask them to quiet down. Never will return

    Hi, We are very disappointed in the experience that you had. Please follow up with us by giving us a call and asking for a manager. Would like to extend my heartfelt apologies to you personally. Thank you.

    I ordered striped bass ($37). At my questioning, the waitress confirmed it would be a "large" portion of fish. It was anything but large, and it was dry. Another in my party ordered smoked beef cheeks over grits ($32). Very disappointing. Three others ordered salads, which looked OK but nothing unusual.
