    Lovely dinner for two. I highly recommend the truffle fries, scallops with grits, and cucumber martini! Husband ordered the ribeye with garlic butter which was cooked perfectly tho it was a thin cut. Revelette Cabernet was worth every penny!

    This restaurant and this experience are outstanding. The view overlooks the river and a park across the street, along with the bridge lit up at night. Steve was our server and was terrific. He is highly experienced and professional. He's very impressed with the chef and the menu options. He's an extremely friendly , and very pleasant personality and explains all of the options in a way that helps you. I would highly recommend this restaurant, as well as, Steve for any gathering small or large. The food was delicious, the Christmas music, perfect and our dinner prepared us perfectly to enjoy the Amy Grant, Vince Gill Christmas special at the Ryman.

    Atmosphere was great and our waitress was phenomenal! She was positive and on top of it all. Food was fantastic for an early Christmas dinner with family visiting town.
