    As usual it was fantastic. I'm working my way through the menu and I've yet to have anything that I didn't love, which my friends have also said. Had the Apple and Arugula Salad with shrimp and it was delicious. My buddy had the Short Ribs and literally got every drop out of the bowl! 😄 I supposed I'm biased at this point, but who cares. I'm enjoying delicious food. I'll be back with a group of 7 Saturday to have the brunch experience.

    My group went to The Supper Club on a Tuesday. The service was great and the atmosphere upscale. The food was delicious. I had a Filet with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Spinach. The Filet was cooked to perfection! My sister had the short rib. She said that the short rib was tender and delicious. My nephew had the Supper Club Trio and loved it. This was my first time and I will definitely return!

    Great time with a big group. Made reservations, but caught them at a good time, so we didn’t really need them. They were so accommodating for the group of 11, and I will recommend this place in the future for anyone traveling to Nashville.
