    I don’t know if they just reopened or are new but the service was less than par. Hostess set us at the sitting area to have a pre meal drink. 15 mins after our reservation time I went up to say is our table ready and she looked confused. Then we get seated and order a bottle of wine, they bring two glasses of wine. Next we don’t receive our first entree until 45 mins after ordering. Other tables were leaving so it was not overly busy. Maybe new staff issues? The food once we received it was great. I think they need training on staff with roles and responsibilities and work out flow kinks.

    The place was gorgeous and the food choices were few but such amazing quality! The server was efficient and friendly. I had the duck fat biscuits with Brussels sprouts and they were both fantastic. Would absolutely recommend!
    Gray & DudleyResponded on 4 February 2025
    Dear Nora, Here at Gray & Dudley, we aim to provide a curated experience where quality is king and service is paramount. Our fan-favorite Duck Fat Biscuits with pimento cheese is truly mouth-watering, and our Brussels Sprouts with pickled frescos, sweet chili, and peanuts are definitely different from the typical offers of this side dish. We're always here to serve and appreciate your recommendation. Stop by the next time you visit Nashville!

    The Brussel sprouts and hush puppies were fantastic! We didn't try as many things as we wanted to, but what we did eat we really enjoyed. It wasn't very crowded and the ambience was very nice. Our server did a great job.

    Dinner was great. It took a while for the waiter to get our order. Outside of that, it was excellent.
