    We had a business dinner and everything was delicious. We had a lovely bottle of bubbles, the lemon ricotta and the charcuterie. I think most of us had the lamb, steak or the sea bass. Not a bite left for any boxes. My crew never sleeps on dessert, so we had tiramisu and the apple pie cheesecake. Which I’ll likely dream about both for the foreseeable future. Thanks for great spot for meeting our new CIO.

    It was really nice as it was a quick last minute late dinner! They were out of our preferred dessert and the waiter brought us a different one…and charged us for it. I thought that was odd since we didn’t ask for it. Otherwise it was great!

    Great time with a big group. Made reservations, but caught them at a good time, so we didn’t really need them. They were so accommodating for the group of 11, and I will recommend this place in the future for anyone traveling to Nashville.
