    Outstanding! One of the best meals we have ever had! Each dish was elevated to another level and was the best we have had of its kind (eg gnocchi, crispy brussels, cornbread, roast chicken, flourless chocolate cake with brown butter gelato). Wonderful service. Great atmosphere. We will recommend and return when in Nashville again!

    Wierd place to get great food. Located in a Marriott, so zero “character” - we were disappointed when our driver dropped us there after reading great reviews. BUT they had an outstanding singer doing live covers with a guitar and keyboard who was crazy talented and the service was outstanding. The hot chicken sandwich was not hot but it was outstanding - moist, flavorful, and big. Service was friendly but not overbearing. Not a place to go out of your way to get to but definitely a solid choice for good well priced food.
