    My sweetheart and I went to a 615 reservation in the food was fantastic! The service was outstanding. Our weight staff person gave excellent service but knew when to let us just enjoy our conversation. The restaurant was not super crowded at that time so I’m not sure the noise level when it is completely full to capacity But we were able to have a lovely conversation and sat by the window. There was no loud music or music at all playing which I really appreciated I can’t stand it when restaurants have this music going and I can’t even talk to my dinner guest or hear them. All in all it was a great experience and I will certainly be there again !
