    The food was delicious and service was fast. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our group. Rack of Lamb and Airline Chicken were spot on and dessert as well, Chocolate Cake and Banana Pudding. It was amazing place to celebrate Mother’s Day, and we look forward to coming back again soon.

    It was our first dining experience with Complicated Pilgrim, but it won’t be my last. It was such a wonderful environment and the service was splendid. We came for a pre- Mother’s Day brunch and the food did not disappoint. The manager was walking around and was very personable (he even cracked some jokes with us). It is a great stop worth taking.

    Popped in for a late-ish dinner with no big expectations after a long day at the national civil rights museum. We were delighted with our entire meal, from our cheerful and attentive server Tasia, to the flawless beet salad with whipped burrata (which Tasia thoughtfully had the kitchen divide between two plate for us), to my husband's brightly sauced salmon cooked rare as specified to my shrimp and grits, with its 5 plump crustaceans perched upon a soft bed of andouille-studded grits. Oh and the bill was surprisingly fair considering we had two rounds of drinks. A big difference from eating out back home in pricey Nashville!

    Very attractive setting. Low-stress in Overton Square on a busy Saturday night.

    Food and ambiance was great. Service was a bit slow and the brunch cocktail list is pretty limited. Overall great experience though!
