The food was excellent! Our service was great as well. Only feedback: We traveled for the tableside Caesar salad but was brought out premade salad and told we had to ask for table side although there is no note on the menu and the tableside is promoted on their social medias. That’s one of the things that “if you don’t know, you don’t know” and that could be better presented so we know to make the request

We booked the Fireside Experience for my husbands birthday. Sydney was an excellent host for the evening. She worked with the bartender to curate the perfect cocktail dough based on our personal preferences. Brandon from Nashville was the bartender who made all of our drinks. Every single drink and detail presented to us was PERFECT!!!! The intimate seating in front of the fireplace was such a great vibe. I highly recommend this experience and will be returning again.
