Restaurants near Short Mountain Distillery

The advertisement for steak and eggs for brunch got me thinking about trying this location. To my surprise, when seated the hostess presented the menu and a Happy Birthday card, signed by most all of the staff working today. With a warm welcome and a happy birthday, this experience was off to a great start. My server was also so friendly and made sure I was treated well. The food was hot and delicious. It even looked like the advertising photo! The manager was busy expediting and also doing table touches. (A+ for Staff, Food, Atmosphere and Manager Presence) I highly recommend Firebirds across the country and I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to this Murfreesboro location.

Food terrific. Staff very professional and attentive.

We were super excited to get a reservation at Noko because our friends (who are serious foodies and excellent home chefs) recommended Noko as their favorite restaurant. Noko did not disappoint! The welcome as we entered was warm and generous, they took my coat and hung it for me. : ) we had a small table in the dining room that was reserved, but opted to sit at the bar! It was fantastic! Our bartender Jena was super knowledgeable and so kind. She had many diners at the bar and took great care to engage with everyone. We started with sake and beer, a very interesting sake selection, and had spicy tuna crispy rice & hamachi crudo to start both so flavorful and delicious, then moved on with burnt ends with lettuce both of us LOVED this dish and really enjoyed the delicate crab fried rice! We had the Caesar salad which we shared but could have had my own it was so tasty! Our meal was so delightful we didn’t save room for dessert! We might try to go back tonight for dessert to try the coconut cake with wood fired pineapple or the brookie with Chocolate brownie, black sesame cookie, miso caramel, vanilla gelato! Our only missed opportunity due to dining so late is we missed the dumplings!! No doubt they are as fantastic as all the dishes we tried! Make a reservation ASAP, the food, drinks and staff are⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Might I add that we went to a distillery recommended by Jenna and ran into another couple that was seated at the bar too!! Great recommendation, thank you Jenna! You nailed it!

Our server Ryan was very cordial and he made our dining experience a pleasant one. Our food was the correct temperature and tasted very good. Ryan made sure our tea glasses were refilled in a timely manner. Connor’s is one of the real gems in Franklin.

Weird combination! Narrow structured space (The old Maple Street Grill) has a new vibe! The big screen TVs lining the walls shout sports bar. The weird pop music from famous Y2K girl bands plus lighting that is just "off" makes one wonder - "What am I in for??" The waitress we had was pleasant and seemed new. When I asked about wine by the bottle she had to ask someone else. It isn't listed on the menu. We did find out that we could purchase a bottle but a chiller was not provided - it did get a bit warm. The grilling your own food experience is fun and certainly adds to the dining experience. We hit serious issues when we simply could not get more rice! Sounds bizarre but it was a bummer! Our food had some "kick" to it so the rice would help with the neutralizing of the spice. After numerous request for additional rice I simply took matters into my own hands and asked someone behind the bar. We did enjoy the food and the perceived value. Service and atmosphere can hopefully benefit from the mandatory group meetings.
