Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Julia Sullivan

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Julia Sullivan’s chic Germantown bistro is what seafood dreams are made of—the James Beard finalist dazzles with an elegant menu starring the likes of sustainably sourced oysters, Tennessee paddlefish caviar, and a saffron-topped red snapper with Carolina gold rice. Snag a seat at the raw bar for a front-row seat to why GQ named this one of 2018’s Best New Restaurants in America.

Good, not great as a whole, better bang for buck for taste/portion size elsewhere, service was okay, nice people working but attention for much of night seemed elsewhere when we were celebrating a birthday. Raw oysters were best part of meal for sure, complimentary champagne for birthday was nice and creative, but we also saw a couple two tables down from us get a dessert with a birthday candle which would’ve been a nice touch with our dessert (which we paid for). Overall, okay but other options in area that do the job better.

We were excited to try a new restaurant before a concert. We were seated promptly, with the nicest table in the room. However, the seating in the banquet was sagging and lumpy. The cocktail menu didn’t really excite us (unusual for us) so we stuck with water. The oysters were delicious and well presented. However, when the only things you really liked were the bread and oysters, you know there’s an issue. I had the mushroom steak. It had an odd texture and flavor. My husband had the snapper. Portion sizes for the cost left us hungry. Our server went missing for a good period of time. We had to ask for more water even. Overall, we were disappointed.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some feedback. Although we are glad to hear you enjoyed the oysters, we apologize for the rest of the experience not meeting your expectations. We take your comments about the food and service seriously and will use them to improve. We hope to serve you better in the future.

The monkey bread was very dry and the polenta under seasoned and a bit bland but generally it was good. My husband liked his burger and fries.

Some of the best shucked and curated oysters in Nashville if not the best. I work in the industry and everything here is top notch. Small plates are amazing and my wife loved all the drinks. I don’t drink and the NA options are really great. For an amazing night it isn’t too expensive and has parking nearby. Would highly recommended to anyone who likes interesting well executed food and drinks. Place was a little loud but what else do you expect from a popular place on a Saturday night?
