DennisJuly 9, 2017Great sushi, great steaks, and my server recommended an inexpensive wine that was really good. She could have done an up sell on something else, but gave me a tip on one they just started carrying.Upvote3Downvote
Jenny Donegan-WillsOctober 6, 2019My husband and I had THE BEST BAR service EVER! They did an amazing job keeping our martinis in a frozen glass even before we were finished! Great service all around!Upvote2Downvote- Marcia Crofford SloanNovember 15, 2018Best Salads and Appetizers in town. Great for lunch or special occasion.

Taste TesterSeptember 18, 2016Absolutely love the atmosphere! It's very romantic. One of my fav restaurants in Nashville. It's actually Redland's/J. Alexander's. Wonderful for date night. The food c'est magnifique.UpvoteDownvote
Gina CristofaniMarch 27, 2014We sat at the bar and the service was phenomenal. Cocktails were excellent. Grilled artichokes were messy but well worth it. Veggie plate rotates but was fresh and flavorful.UpvoteDownvote- Dee Dee BallSeptember 14, 2014We followed tips: Steak n Mashed Potatoes (instead of the fries), Mac n Cheese, plus; Louie Salad, Steak Kabobs. All was deliciousUpvote1Downvote
Tim EdwardsFebruary 27, 2019Everything was great, the portions are huge, if you leave hungry then have dessert. If you are having a party they can't seat you all togetherUpvoteDownvote
Abby CustredSeptember 24, 2012Ask for the Jack's chicken tenders. They aren't on the menu but you can get them if you ask. Definitely the best menu item there.Upvote2Downvote
Shawn CookSeptember 27, 2018Fantastic service, drinks, and meal. For dessert, the key lime pie and French press coffee is an absolute must!UpvoteDownvote
The Carrot Cake is the best ever... It's not the kinda you get at other restaurants; full of spices, served warm and moist with the cream cheese icing poured over it... Amazing!!!!UpvoteDownvote- SusanJanuary 2, 2013Vegetarians beware!!!! There is bacon in the NYO Mac and cheese. the servers don't always know that either. If you're not a veggie, get it! It's awesome.UpvoteDownvote
Stefano RelliMarch 19, 2015I tried the croque madam sandwich: it was very tasty. Be careful with the portions, they are generous.UpvoteDownvote
Andrew MischkeJanuary 31, 2012If they have the heirloom carrots with shallots and chervil on their featured sides list, order them. Don't worry about ordering anything else. Just order them.UpvoteDownvote
Sonia BossMarch 3, 2015The chocolate cake is to die for! Too big for one person - great for sharing.UpvoteDownvote
Beth LawrenceJune 19, 2011I get the veggie plate everytime! My faves are the orzo, macaroni & cheese, grilled zucchini, & heirloom tomatoes when they're in season. So good!Upvote2Downvote
