   The food was delicious and drinks were as well. This is an extremely loud place as it’s centered near the elevators but we had a nice corner that we could hold a conversation. The server was pleasant but very slow. Prices were a bit high but again the food was delicious.

   So overall, this place kinda sucks. We ordered the chicken lollipops for an appetizer and they were dryer than the Sahara dessert - they came accompanied with peppers that you’d expect to be warm like the chicken but were cold? Weird. And for $17 you only get 4. I ordered the burger for dinner and asked that it be cooked medium, I got a dried, overcooked burger, but I’d still rate it like a 5/10 so not the worst. The bacon jam was good. My boyfriend got the pork chop and it was also dry. Is that the theme here? Then he got mashed potatoes from the a la carte menu and they were cold…..our server kinda sucked. I’ve been a server so I get how it can be when it’s busy, but it wasn’t, it was the end of the night and the crowd was dying down. Maybe he had a long day? He rarely checked on us. He didn’t tell us about the valentines special, anything we asked for (water, drinks, check, etc) took 15+ minutes. No plates for our appetizer either. We went on Valentine’s and they did finish the night with a free rose and 2 chocolates for me and my boyfriend which was a nice touch. But overall 3/10, my cocktail was the best part of the night and I don’t even remember what it was called, so not that memorable.

   Absolutely a wonderful place for friends to get together and enjoy a wonderful meal. The live music playing in the lobby was a beautiful touch. For Valentine’s Day the waiter bringing the women at the table along stem rose was such a sweet surprise. I would absolutely come here again. We ended up buying several appetizers and sharing, but the rest of the menu looks delicious.

   Had a great steak. I don’t think for the overall experience it was worth the price. Good to try though definitely.

   Delicious and attentive staff. There was no one there really so it was quiet. Everyone was full of southern hospitality. I had eggs Benedict and my son had biscuits and gravy. I also sampled a few mimosas. Perfect for our Sunday brunch while in town visiting UT. Beautiful hotel The Tennessean.

   Food - Lollipop drumsticks were overcooked. Fried okra came out cold. Service - Was great and the bartender made a special drink for a non-drinker.

    It was a limited holiday menu but our food was tasty and our server could not have been kinder or more attentive. Thank you very much!
