    My husband Ron and I had an amazing experience. It was our first time in Nashville and we are so happy we discovered this gem of a restaurant. The interiors and ambience are stunning! The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Filet Oscar. Everything was so good that we came back to the bar later that evening after our trolley tour. The best part of the experience was our servers. Evynn was a new employee but you wouldn’t know it. She carried on conversation and was just the right amount of attentive. She was trained by Steve who helped to make our dinner a truly delightful night. We will definitely be back.

    This restaurant is not only beautiful and close to Broadway but it’s also full of amazingly wonderful staff and the food is terrific. Every dish we ordered was tasty. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant. PS Ask for Steve (our server) he added to the entire experience and was absolutely wonderful!

    Steve was a gracious host! He referred to us by name, was very attentive, but not overly so. The food was good, and the time from order to table was appropriate. The mood was quaint, and I really enjoyed the "Smoke and Spice" signature cocktail.

    We got Steven as a server, and he was fantastic. Her last name is Rutledge- it was great to find this restaurant just for that alone. The food was amazing, Steven recommended a delicious appetizer. The ribeye, lobster, mac & cheese, and cheeseburgers. We’re all absolutely fantastic. Stephen took a video of us having his cheers to the fact that the Rutledge’s are at the Rutledge, we just had great surface overall from him. Next time we are in Tennessee we will definitely be back.
