    An old school Nashville vibe with really good food and laid back, but, attentive service. One of the best Italian menus in town. Definitely a place worth visiting. In Nashville's changing and growing restaurant landscape, this is a place you will put on your top 5-10 list for regular nights out.

    The... Brussel...Sprouts!!! Remember, that because I'll come back to that star food item. My wife and I, and another family couple thought it would be cool to check this place out for Valentine's Day. A really cool concept for a restaurant and the heated outdoor igloos was a nice touch. Only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the menu seemed plain and didn't have many choices. But the food we did have was pretty good, and the BRUSSEL SPROUTS were amazing!!! We got a basket of Brussel Sprouts to share and after a few bites, we all wanted our separate basket, it was that good! The drink selections were good and the names were whimsical, definitely in line with the vibe of the restaurant. Our server (I hate I have forgotten her name) was funny and matched the energy of the group. She helped enhanced the experience. The slide is a fun time and worth going down to make video memories. They also had Jenga and Corn hole of you wanted to enjoy some games while there. When you stop by here, two things: (1) Go down the slide and (2) GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS!!?

    Excellent dining experience. Coming from Lawton, Oklahoma this was on my bucket list. My wife and I were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. From the greeting at the door, the service received, to the food…everything was top notch. Chris Mongolian made the day even more special by singing If Tomorrow Never Comes in a dedication to my wife. Our 50th was made better by coming here. Just missed Garth and Trisha.

    Great time with a big group. Made reservations, but caught them at a good time, so we didn’t really need them. They were so accommodating for the group of 11, and I will recommend this place in the future for anyone traveling to Nashville.

    It was a great experience! The DJ was loud but that’s understandable on a rooftop bar! The food was great and service was excellent!
