    The ambiance here is a perfect mix of chic and cozy, setting the stage for a fantastic dining experience. Our waitress, Gardenia, was a gem—knowledgeable, friendly, and spot-on with her recommendations. The food? Outstanding. The bruschetta was bursting with flavor, the bang bang chicken was irresistibly crispy and flavorful with two tasty sauces, and the beet salad was as beautiful as it was delicious. Each dish not only looked amazing but tasted even better. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Nashville!

    We had the most wonderful time. Our server was very attentive and thoughtful. It was later in the evening with no new reservations coming in. We were super cold and she moved us near the fire place. Made the experience much better. Our meals were wonderful. I had the beef tenderloin and they did allow me to leave off the pepper sauce. My husband had the salmon and daughter had the lamb. Every dish we would get again. The ambiance were so nice. Every decoration placed perfectly. Loved it so much!
