Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Deb Paquette

From the OpenTable editors: Pioneering chef Deb Paquette is Tennessee’s first woman to qualify as a certified executive chef and her bold, globally inspired menu takes center stage at this critical darling in downtown Nashville. Grab a spot at the lively chef’s counter for a front-row seat to the open kitchen, where Paquette turns out artfully plated dishes like pan-seared scallops with Thai lemongrass curry paired with stellar, Wine Spectator-awarded wines. No meal here is complete without one of pastry chef Megan Williams’s knockout desserts.

    The staff was over-the-top. They accommodated my wife’s dietary restrictions to a T. This is one of our favorite places to go while in Nashville.

    First, they have valet service, so there is no worrying about finding a place to park in downtown Nashville! Tehran server Nick was amazing at going over any food allergy needs with my fiancé and I, which my fiancé is celiac disease (gluten-free). Nick then stated how the manager would be over to talk more about the food allergy need and went over the menu with my fiancé and also showed the alternatives to specific dishes if she were to choose one of them to eat due to her celiac. The manager also explained how when our order was placed they would inform the chef to handle her food and that the manners would bring out the food instead of our server which Is smart to protect them if something were to be wrong ( I don't know the real reason why). Overall, all managers, Nick, and staff were amazing and made our anniversary dinner outstanding!

    I’m giving it a 4 because my salmon fish was too sweet. I would have loved some live dinner music.

    My boyfriend and I went here for our 2 year anniversary. We got there a little early, but we were able to sit at the bar. Nick greeted us and served us some yummy drinks! The host Rudy was very kind and friendly. Our server, Kevin, was informative and helpful. We were greeted with a champagne toast for our anniversary! It was a fun atmosphere. I ordered the chef’s creation, but I did not care for it. They were so nice to comp it from our check. My boyfriend ordered the scallops and they were amazing! Overall great service and good food.

    The food was overpriced and not very good. The waitress rushed us and was very inattentive.

    Hello, I'm sorry to hear that! We'd like to learn more from you about your experience with us, as this is far from the level of food and service we strive to provide our guests. Would you be willing to share your contact information so that our General Manager can reach out to you directly? Thank you in advance for your time!

    From the moment we arrived, warm welcomes from the host/hostess and our experience continued to get better! The wait staff took great care of my gluten issue, recommending a delicious gf bread option to start. Cauliflower app is a must! We highly recommend sitting at the counter to watch the magic happen. Great from start to finish.
