A must for sure! My husband is gluten intolerant and they answered all our questions and gave us creative options. Everything was incredibly tasty. Service was impeccable. We had the hand made duck raft pasta and the lamb loin as well as house whipped ricotta. Everything was incredible. I wish we had room for dessert!

We started at the bar with a cocktail at the bar and the ambiance was great....until 3 dude bros came in acting like dude bros. They belonged in Kid Rock's bar on Broadway, not this classy establishment. After we finished our cocktails, we asked to be seated for our reservation far away from the dude bros. They accommodated us nicely and we were served free bread. The food was decent but unremarkable unfortunately. I got the ragu and the meat was overly salted that I left half of it on the plate. Wife got lamb and too much salt was an issue there too. We had high hopes for a great date night out but the dude bros and salt turned it mediocre. Cool spot but could have been better.

The experience overall was good. We had a good time and service was excellent! But we were seated in the champagne porch area and it was 32 degrees , we were in a corner not near a heater or fireplace. We were very cold and that threw the vibe for us. There were spots in the room that were warm I’m sure just not ours.

Had been years and was looking forward to return visit. Menu has pivoted from small, shared plates to entrees. While decent, for the price there are countless better options in Nashville.
