Just a grand evening celebrating our son’s birthday. Started with a Music City roll. Excellent. Then salads and steaks. Piano music was a great background. A bit pricey, but I’m sure that is standard for downtown Nashville.

Skyler was awesome per SOP! She is the quintessential waitress! We split a ceasar salad, and our mains; Dover sole and salmon were both delicious. The crab fried rice did not disappoint once again. Overall a great dining experience prior to the Mariah Carey concert.

Really superb! A very special place that brought back memories of meals at the Detroit & Bloomfield Hills restaurants in MI. I brought my friend for her birthday and the elegance, service & food just blew her away. Love the lobster bisque & the scallops, crab-stuffed flounder, tomato side and magnificent coconut cake. Just fabulous! Thank you for making my friend's birthday very special.
