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.

Had a fantastic date night, the atmosphere is great. If Mia is your server you’re in good hands. The apps were great, however I would pass on the chips & dip, don’t add the caviar. But the rest of the food was amazing. Truffle fries and the burger are a must. My main takeaway was the diligent service, Mia, had for our table, great conversation and fantastic vibes.
