    The Hampton Social Rooftop was absolutely amazing. From the food, to the service, ambiance, and vibes, everything was incredible. We got the parm truffle fries, 4 cheese pizza, and The Honey Cove cocktail to start, so yummy. For entrees, we got the lobster roll, bang bang chicken, Caesar salad, and burger. It was seriously so good, to the point me and my 3 friends were sharing our meals. I would hight recommend.

    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!!?

    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.
