Restaurants near Bone Cave State Park

This was my second visit, and we sat at the bar this time. We arrived early, and it was pretty empty, but by 7:15, it was packed with happy diners! We had oysters, trout rillette, leafy greens, whole trout, and mushrooms escabeche. All DELICIOUS!!! Had the tagliatelle last time we were here, and it was also spectacular. Decor is tasteful and modern. Cocktails are interesting and yummy. We had the parenthesis cocktail. Ingredients and dishes are unique and high quality, so prices are kind of high for the area. But totally worth the splurge!

Food terrific. Staff very professional and attentive.

We've been here several times and are never disappointed! It's a hidden (literally) gem in Cookeville. I love to bring our out of town guests to 1854. It's a warm, inviting spot to enjoy some delicious appetizers and well crafted cocktails.

This is the first Christmas that I didn't get to be with my whole family for a home cooked meal, so I thought I'd try going with my boyfriend. Thank you, we enjoyed it.

Weird combination! Narrow structured space (The old Maple Street Grill) has a new vibe! The big screen TVs lining the walls shout sports bar. The weird pop music from famous Y2K girl bands plus lighting that is just "off" makes one wonder - "What am I in for??" The waitress we had was pleasant and seemed new. When I asked about wine by the bottle she had to ask someone else. It isn't listed on the menu. We did find out that we could purchase a bottle but a chiller was not provided - it did get a bit warm. The grilling your own food experience is fun and certainly adds to the dining experience. We hit serious issues when we simply could not get more rice! Sounds bizarre but it was a bummer! Our food had some "kick" to it so the rice would help with the neutralizing of the spice. After numerous request for additional rice I simply took matters into my own hands and asked someone behind the bar. We did enjoy the food and the perceived value. Service and atmosphere can hopefully benefit from the mandatory group meetings.
