“ I am writing this review after being in the restaurant 5-6 times. And I am specifically writing this for Jennice at the bar which is where I will eat from now on! She always has great service- above and beyond. Ordered a General Schwarzkopf. (Filet with blue cheese inside) The chef said no. (Confusing. Most steakhouses will do this as the General made this famous.) That's ok. Jennice brought a side order of blue cheese with my filet and I got it in there while she helped. She did several other things for me such as suggesting a killer wine. She is great at what she does. I will be back.... ”
“ Overall, it was a great experience. The service was impeccable--exactly what I expected. The bread and Mozz' Sticks with Caviar were fantastic. However, for the price, I expected more than two. The food, including the Cowboy Veal Chopa and Fettuccini with truffles, had good base flavor but required a bit more seasoning to suit my preferred taste. Lastly, we had a drink - can't recall the name - which was a spin on a Wisky Smash, and we loved it. I will likely return. ”
“ Food was delicious! Ambiance was a little too dark for me but other than that it was a cool spot. Service was A-1 ”
“ What can we say other than this was the PERFECT Christmas Eve experience. From the reception to table #51 to our amazing waiter Ray, to the perfection of the food and crafted drinks, to the attentive staff and to the second we walked out it was OUTSTANDING!! They now have long term patrons. Thank You Ray for a magical evening. ”
“ We stopped by here for a Friday night date and sat at the bar. We love the Chef Andrew Carmellini restaurants in New York so we had to stop by one in Nashville. The ambience is incredible. It's not dark but gives you a comfort calming feeling when you enter. Staff are so friendly and our server who had 30 year of experience was phenomenal. He recommended an amazing Italian wine that we loved. Their food, let me say that you will not disappoint. The starter pull out bread I so delicious that it can be a meal on its own. octopus and oysters were in fresh and on point. La bolognese was seasoned just right. We will definitely come back to celebrate our anniversary soon. ”
“ Wagyu was a once in a lifetime experience, still drooling thinking about it. Got the king crab appetizer and was disappointed in the portion sizes. I wish portion sizes were larger for the price they'd like to charge otherwise this would be a 5/5. Ambience is very dark and romantic, but even though this is an extremely upscale restaurant, you don't need cocktail attire. Service was great, server explained things very well and was attentive. Helped clean off our table when we got a little messy. ”
“ I went in for an early dinner in the middle of the week and can honestly say this is one of the best dinner experiences I've ever had in Nashville. Every single dish was amazing. All of them. From the appetizers to the drinks to desserts. The service was like something out of a movie. Their timing and approach was perfect. The restaurant is bright and walled in by windows. And they're doing a great job with sound reduction, because it was easy to sit at a larger table and have a conversation. This is the perfect spot for an upscale celebration. ”
