    Beautiful space with great service. I liked the menu but my Butter Pecan Trout was disappointing. The cornbread and salad were terrific as was the filet and hand cut fries. Wonderful location with tricky parking.

    The food for Thanksgiving dinner was delicious and we brought home lots of leftovers. There were three kinds of meat, all the sides, yummy rolls, and three kinds of dessert for two people! Our server, Andrea, was so friendly and attentive too. It was a great Thanksgiving! Thanks Puckett’s. We’ll be back!

    One of our "go-to's" when we're in Nashville, particularly if we want to celebrate something special. Love the environment, love the server staff (especially Brandon & Savannah) and love the live jazz. And the food is always outstanding!!!

    What a beautiful setting! The food was amazing and our waitress was attentive. However, the music in the restaurant was loud like club music. That’d be fine if it were downstairs at the bar but this elegant room should have had a different effect.

    From the time we entered, we felt relaxed and taken care of. The dining room was intimate and the tables were spread apart nicely. Everything we ate was delicious-bruschetta, Etch salad, filet, and venison (my husband). The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They knew we weee attending a show at Bridgestone, so they paced appropriately. The price is a little higher ($50 for a filet), but we never felt anyone was trying to upscale us. I highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.
