Another great night at Brugada! This time it was a CMA Awards watch party night. They had a flat panel screen on the stage so we could watch the CMA Awards happening live just down the street. We started with their famous Espresso Martinis, followed by the Shrimp Cocktail Tower, Margarita Pizza, Triffle Fries and other tasty treats. Thanks Charlie and Darian for a great night as usual!

Great choice. Very nice atmosphere- food was really great. We were trying to get out in an hour/hour 15 and service could have been better so it’s a good thing the food - drinks and live music made up for it. Would still go back

Ella’s is one of our “go-to’s” when attending events in downtown Nashville. Always the best service and food. Can almost always get a reservation. Perfect location if you’re going to the Schermerhorn.

Food was good but as a vegetarian there weren’t many options. I ended up just getting a side salad and a side dish. My husband said the pork sirloin was very good with great flavor. The best part of the dinner was our excellent server, Brenna. She was friendly, polite and professional.

My husband and I did a date night and had been wanting to try The Hampton Social. The ambience was very quaint, seating was intimate. Loved all the chairs and couches that served as seating, very classy. Ordered drinks, an appetizer, main entree and dessert, all were great! Service was good as well. Would definitely recommend!
