    Everything was great! My only very minor critique is that the cocktails didn’t seem to have much alcohol in them, but they were good!

    Super cool vibe and loved seeing all the cute photo spots. Definitely an insta influencer draw ;-) We thought the food was delish, little pricey for the sizes. Super yummy and good variety of dishes. The rooftop had an awesome vibe and really good views. Would have benefitted from a second bartender / server on such a busy night. We'd return next time we're in Nashville!

    Very understaffed. The food and drinks weren’t anything special. The cake tasted like a Walmart cake.

    Loved the decorations, location, and music! I had a cocktail that tasted like an orange creamsicle and it was delicious.

    Fun vibe. Good food and service. OpenTable reservations had us on the rooftop even though the rooftop wasn’t open and the hostess said that OpenTable shouldn’t be allowing reservations for the rooftop. Reservation system needs to get on the same page as the restaurant

    We didn’t end up at the rooftop. We ended up at the ground level in layer cake but it was beautiful and the service was great. It wasn’t busy so this may account for why it was so wonderful. My biggest complaint is our food took a really long time even though it wasn’t busy and it was cold. They checked on us, and when our food was cold, they offered to replace it, but we had already waited long enough so they gave us free appetizer gift certificates. I had the red velvet waffles and my husband had a breakfast wrap. They were both delicious. Had they been hot? They would’ve been even better.

    First time visiting the place. Good things first the first floor is absolutely breathtaking. Reminiscent of Paris. Second floor looked peaceful and relaxed. I unknowingly booked the 3 rd floor which was loud way too loud to have a conversation despite being not very busy. I made reservations online and was told at the front to go upstairs and tell bartender we had reservations. I was then told they don’t take reservations up stairs, not quite sure why that’s an option online. Service was slow like 30+ minutes to get a water let alone order food. I will say our food was delicious. Everyone loved their choices. Maybe we caught them on a weird night. As we left passed the quiet inviting second floor. Then the beautiful first floor. I think this was my ignorance of not knowing the restaurant. I would definitely try this place again just never on the roof.

    Even if you have a reservation you will be waiting an hour past that time. They book way to many people and don’t have the capacity for it.
