    This was our second time dining here when coming to Franklin, TN. Nice ambiance, and the service was great! I had an amazing traditional ribeye steak perfectly prepared with creamed spinach and loaded backed potato. My wife had and awesome Seabass topped with crab meat (which I sampled!). The roasted honey glazed Brussell sprouts were a fantastic surprise. We'll definitely return, but most excited that they're opening a location in our hometown of Tallahassee!

    I had the sirloin steak head lettuce. This very good. Sirloin usually on the tough side but this one was as tender as a filet and cooked exactly as I had asked.
