We stopped in for Sunday brunch and had such a good meal we came back for dinner! Our server, Michael, was outstanding! We had him for both meals and every recommendation he had was spot on. We basically let him craft our entire meal and mixed drinks based on his recommendations and he did not miss! Everything was amazing. He knows his stuff and is passionate about it. The music and ambience was great as well. We will absolutely come back next time we’re in Nashville.
