            Food was decent, but the prices were high and honestly the service was reminiscent of a Applebees or an OCharlies. Servers need more training to not just be order takers but curators of a high end dining experience.

            Waiter forgot the drinks. When asked other waitstaff about drinks he was visibly frustrated. Drinks were pretty good. Entrees came out right on top of appetizer. Entrees were ice cold. Panini was not grilled nor pressed. It was cold bread with a piece of mozzarella in between it. Soup that came with was good.

            We went for brunch on a Sunday and the place was mostly empty. I ordered the prime breakfast hash which was supposed to have prime rib and potatoes- I found 3 very small pieces of prime rib and the rest was all potatoes for $24. The food was mediocre and there is a 3% charge added for using a credit card. No wonder the place was mostly empty, we will not be returning.

            Although the food tasted very good, it was very pricey for what we ordered. Even for a 4 or 5 star restaurant. The hostess and waitress were both very nice.

            Very good food and okay drinks but nothing special. The menu made it seem better than it actually was (especially the cocktails).

            We didn’t have any expectations going in, and that was a good thing. Over all experience was blah. How is a restaurant in the Nashville area almost empty at 630pm on a Saturday? The answer is a bland food experience with an equally bland visual experience. We got the charcuterie board, which consisted of mostly fruits and cheeses, with TWO hard pieces of prosciutto, and maybe 6 1”wide x 1/16” thick slices of salami, and 4 wedge slices of pita which at the widest part maybe were 1.5” wide. If you want a fruit smorgasbord with slices of apples, oranges, and figs…this is for you. For dinner, I got the Tuscan shrimp pasta, which I attempted to salvage with the smooshed olives left over from the charcuterie board. It had a good amount of capers in it, but was just majorly under seasoned and surprisingly bland. The description of the dish mentioned pesto, I couldn’t find it. It was just oily with capers. The brine from the olives at least gave it some flavor. My husband got a Filet Mignon Sushi roll, which he described as “fine” and truffle fries which he did say were “ok”. How do you screw up truffle fries? So the food is just blah. The decor…which I do believe has a lot of potential, was actually an assault on the eyes with lighting. There was every color of LED light possible present, the blue-est white to warm yellow. None of it with a plan or purpose. Just lights for lights sake of all colors, which is shocking, because it’s the darkest restaurant I’ve ever been in. Of the other tables I saw in their besides us at the time, all of them had to get their phone’s flash light out to read the menu because there wasn’t a light on their table! None. For the money, there’s a lot of better alternatives for both food and the money in the Nashville/Franklin area.
