Just a grand evening celebrating our son’s birthday. Started with a Music City roll. Excellent. Then salads and steaks. Piano music was a great background. A bit pricey, but I’m sure that is standard for downtown Nashville.

Skyler was awesome per SOP! She is the quintessential waitress! We split a ceasar salad, and our mains; Dover sole and salmon were both delicious. The crab fried rice did not disappoint once again. Overall a great dining experience prior to the Mariah Carey concert.

Our first visit to this place was incredible! Taylor, our server, was an absolute lifesaver. He gave us some fantastic recommendations and made sure we had the best time. The food was absolutely delicious! The pork chops were huge and bursting with flavor, and my wife’s fillet was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was to die for - it was so creamy and indulgent. We’ll definitely be back because there are so many dishes we still need to try.
