Amazing service and deliciously fresh food!! We had made reservations a couple of days prior and that’s something I highly recommend. On our first morning in Nashville, my husband ordered biscuits and bacon gravy and I ordered the quiche with a salad and a Bloody Mary. We enjoyed every bite! The next morning, I ordered the Rabbit Hash quiche with salad and my husband ordered the pancakes with house made maple syrup. So yummy and again the service was prompt and very attentive. We will definitely be back!!

So, we are a mother and daughter excited to see Nashville and shop around. We spotted this place and were excited to see available seating. The location is great and they seem to rely on that rather than the service to keep people coming back, if they do indeed come back. After 20 minutes of waiting to order anything, we each got a Bloody Mary and they came with freshly cooked slices of bacon on top instead of olives, celery, or the like, which was cool but boy did it make us thirsty. We asked for water as well and were told that it was too much to ask. Not kidding! We ordered food 40 minutes in but it came out pretty quickly. We got fried green tomatoes and soup and beans instead of the quiche, which we were told sells out by noon (some might consider making more if it consistently runs out halfway through brunch). The tomatoes were fantastic. Our server took the plate before we'd finished them. How strange. The soup and beans came with fried cornmeal hushpuppies, and they were fine but there was nothing exciting about them or the greasy potatoes they came with--there is an option for salad but the server made this selection for us instead of asking. There seem to be a lot of great places in Nashville and this one won't be on my repeat list. If you want to spend your time inventing backstories that would explain how people like this work in the hospitality industry instead while you wait to be given a fork and napkin, you now know where to go.

The ambiance is adorable. There are a handful of tables outside in the garden, including one in a gazebo. Inside, majority of chairs are those tortuous metal chairs that are so uncomfortable. Wasn’t terribly busy the May Friday morning we went. The two servers were running, but still provided attentive service. Food was hit and miss. The Bad Hombre and Vegan Hash were both good. The Bird’s Nest Benedict was fine. The hollandaise was quite thin and liquidy not at all rich. There wasn’t a strong pesto flavor. The veggies were under seasoned. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was almost comical. Tasty bread, but almost no cheese to speak of. The tomato soup was a hearty serving, but served lukewarm. Disappointing. The cheesy grits were not at all cheesy. More like creamy grits. We must have hit the kitchen on an off day.

What a cute little place and our food and service were excellent. We went for breakfast and would like to return to try lunch sometime.

Chilly winter midmorning on Saturday decided to venture as "one of top places in Nashville for brunch". First server greeted by saying that there were "no other tables left" other than the one nearest to the entrance door which was of course chill drafting. It would have been ok if it were true; until seated, saw 3 empty tables inside. Asked to be moved and server was "loudly" unhappy about it. I am aware of the "server section balance dynamics" but please you are creating an "experience" in hopes of a repeat customer, so chill and be accommodating and grumble later to your manager. Moving on, ordered regular black coffee to warm up and was quick to make food order. The decision was made before arriving since it was the "chosen" place and excited to try it. Coffee and water arrived "after" the food order. Quiche was very dry and could hardly cut into it, joked it might have caught "cold draft" from the initial greeting server. Roasted veggies...might as well have ordered ashes, it would have been more appropriate. Eggs benedict... far cry...overcooked yolk and hardly any hollandaise. Kombucha mimosa needs "mimosa". But hunger was greater than the disappointment so most of it was consumed without digestive mishaps. The location, ambience and décor is definitely "prime" for a great experience, but mine was not the fanfare or food delicacy for the price. Despite this, willing to give it another shot maybe in the Springtime and seated outdoors.

My hubby ordered crab cakes with hollandaise sauce and there was probably a teaspoon of sauce on each. Service was very slow...they were very busy.

One of the best breakfasts we have had in a long time! The lemon blueberry pancakes were absolutely heavenly! The Bad Hombre was perfectly done and my mushroom omelette was very good. This is a cute little place right in the heart of Nashville.

Such a great place with wonderful breakfast. Happy and welcoming servers. Lovely choice of food in a tranquil setting. Worth the extra $s compared to other restaurants.

Terrible service, my over easy eggs were hard and the fried potatoes were burnt and greasy.

We arrived just after they opened on a Sunday morning. We were seated after a short wait. Our waiter brought our drinks and took our order after a few minutes. For the next 45 mins to an hour we sat there with empty glasses and no update from our server. When asked, she said " we were next on the board ". Our food came out hot. One of our guest couldn't eat her pancakes because the batter smelled like a wet dog. I hope we were there on a bad day but we will not be retuning. They seemed to short staff to handle the amount of guest they seated.

Stumbled across this gem. It is adorable and the food was excellent. It does have an eclectic menu and no main stream sodas but I was fine with water. If I ever come back to the area, I will visit again!

So many good places to eat at in Nashville, but we heard breakfast was very good here. This place didn't disappoint us. We both ordered a mushroom omelet with fresh picked morels and a mushroom mixture. I also wanted to try their lemon pancake with blueberry/fresh cream topping. Luckily I could order just one pancake vs 3. The place is a small cottage/home which was made into a restaurant. It was very busy and we didn't have to wait long to get a table . We got our omelets and they were very fluffy and mushrooms were perfect with them. I am happy I only got one pancake since it filled the plate and was drenched with blueberry sauce and cream. The pancake melted in my mouth it was so light. Both my wife and I shared and enjoyed it. Service was very good and you could tell there were many locals here. It was $41 for breakfast but worth it.

This morning we arrived about 10am and took one of the last tables they had open. I was glad because they ended up with a pretty good line of people. Our server was amazing…we both got lattes and waters and ordered. The food took a little longer but that is because it is fresh, made to order. My husband and I both has the Baby Bird plate with eggs, potatoes and bacon for him and turkey sausage for me (I love that option) ….we enjoyed the music, coffee and people watching while we waited for our food. Our server was personable and gave us updates on our food. I felt terribly for her as she was stiffed a tip from the table next to us because they wanted grape jelly….well we left her an additional tip because that’s ridiculous and very petty. I wish I could remember her name. I love this restaurant and come every time we are in town! We took home two donuts for later and will probably go back tonight for a cocktail! Go! I highly recommend!

Went for breakfast. 6 of us. Accommodating us extremely well. Our food was extremely good and just as expected and more. The sweet potato pancakes were a favorite and the omelets were a big hit. Great atmosphere also. Highly recommend
