    Been a while since my bride and I dined at this fine establishment due to how incredibly loud the noise levels are. Setting that aside, the food is incredibly good and of high quality. From the meatballs appetizer and table side presentation of the Caesar Salad to the remarkable 44OZ BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA, what a treat. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, but what came was a block of goodness enough for 4. Finally, the service team was exceptionally effective.

    We booked the Fireside Experience for my husbands birthday. Sydney was an excellent host for the evening. She worked with the bartender to curate the perfect cocktail dough based on our personal preferences. Brandon from Nashville was the bartender who made all of our drinks. Every single drink and detail presented to us was PERFECT!!!! The intimate seating in front of the fireplace was such a great vibe. I highly recommend this experience and will be returning again.
