Awesome dinner at the bar. It was reportedly a record size crowd on Xmas Eve and dinner ran like a Swiss train. The Moroccan spiced lamb was fantastic and Mrs. Ned loved the chicken.

Our entire experience was amazing. The food, service, and ambience was over the top. We came to celebrate my birthday and it was special. We had the tenderloin, sea base, both pasta dishes and the risotto along with almost every side dish. We loved everything. Our server John went above and beyond to see we were taken care of.

I’ve lived in Nashville for four years now and this was our first time at January. We will absolutely be going back. Service was incredible, everything we tried was very tasty, ambiance was so nice, and at a better price point than you will find in other nice restaurants in Nashville.

We enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner. Food was outstanding and our server Euniqua was so cheerful, helpful and attentive. We had the chicken, fish, and French dip along with the Mulholland salad, grilled shrimp, and truffle fries. We topped it off with the Caramel Banana split. We loved every dish.
