Had a lovely birthday meal with my husband and parents - the food was delicious and the service absolutely on point, caring, friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor is excellently executed - it could so easily be OTT and too much and yet it is exactly enough to be a lot and yet very tasteful and classy - it has all of the magical and festive feel the Christmas spirit should give

Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary this past Saturday 11/23. Noted on my reservation, and they delivered. Complimentary champagne, sparkler in our banana pudding and a handwritten post card from the staff. Nichelle provided gracious service, and ensured that we were taken care of to the highest degree, she was an absolute delight. The entire staff was top notch from the moment we entered the front door. Don't miss this tucked away restaurant when in Nashville.
