They have redecorated and things look nice. We did not enjoy food like we used to and prices have risen. They have lost their special place to eat feeling for us as locals.

It started off with the gracious hostess validating our parking, seating us and wishing us a happy anniversary. Mark was our server. He was thoughtful, helpful and attentive. The music was a plus. It maybe a little loud but being able to sit close to one another was romantic and help muffle the sound. We shared a delicious caprese salad, filet was cooked perfect with bleu cheese butter sauce, delicious scallops and decadent duck fat crusted potatoes. The tiramisu was excellent and the bananas foster gelato was okay. Perfect way to celebrate our 47th anniversary.

The food was amazing, highly recommend the broccolini….. just wow… The server was very knowledgeable in all the dishes and made some great recommendations. The food was very fast, I did wish they spaced it out a bit more. As we got to dessert and still had our glass of wine to finish. The atmosphere was also very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend, overall great experience and great food.

So many restaurants are cheapening out on ingredients, but not here, I’m happy to report! I was so pleasantly surprised with the food and service. The ingredients are so fresh, the dishes were so balanced. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Nashville in a long time! Chef’s kiss!💋
