    This restaurant is in the lobby of a Marriott Hotel and has the ambiance of a hotel restaurant. We were also charged hotel taxes on top of our meal making the total cost excessive. The food was mediocre. Would not recommend unless I was a guest of the hotel and had no other options.

    Food and service were fine. Live music was really good. Wish I could remember her name. Ambiance was blah. We were from out of town and based on the star rating, i thought this was going to a cool Nashville bar outside of the hustle and bustle of Broadway, not just some bar/restaurant connected to the Marriott near Vanderbilt.

    We arrived on-time and waited about 20 mins before a server ever came over. It wasn't busy, so apparently they were short-staffed. The food was hot but very mediocre, especially considering the prices. I won't return, and I wouldn't recommend.

    The musician was way too loud for a small restaurant. We asked her turn it down but she didn’t t turn it down far enough. It was very difficult to have a conversation. The service was very slow too, they weren’t that busy I wasn’t pleased/

    This place was terrible. Certainly not what one would expect at a Marriott property. Don’t waste your money.

    We so enjoyed our avocado toast and pancakes. The preparation was perfect. This wonderful dining spot is attached to the Marriott for convenience and did not disappoint.

    The restaurant is a hotel restaurant. Service is extremely slow. The bar, however, gets quite active in the evening and bartenders are very attentive.
