    Noko was fantastic and our waiter Mitch was the man. Really appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail on our entire experience. It was our first time and we will definitely be coming back. My wife and I guy 7 different dishes and Mitch gifted us one he didn’t want us to miss out on. Best of the Best: Tuna Crispy Rice, Lobster Bao Buns, Korean Hot Wings, Brussels Good: Burrata - maybe a little too sweet with the jam. Not our favs: bone marrow, crab fried rice Overall this experience was awesome and the entire menu sounded fire. Great date night spot!

    Fantastic date night out with my wife. My wife & I have been living in Nashville for for 16 years, but had never been to the Pelican & Pig. Overall, great experience. Our waiter Ian was fantastic from start to finish. We sat at the kitchen counter… great vibe & loved watching the kitchen cook over real wood fire. The drinks were creative & great. The appetizers/“shareables” were among the stars of the show… incl the broccolini & sweet potatoes. The NY strip w chimnichurri was tasty. And homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Would recommend & plan to return!

    This is one of our favorite places to go to. We have been there with friends who have never been to France and we assure them just how authentic it feels. I would highly recommend Once Upon a Time in France to anyone wanting to experience great French cuisine with a staff that is friendly, informative, and appreciative.

    Great, except for all of the wasps. They were outside and INSIDE the restaurant which made for an uncomfortable dining situation.
