Food was expensive and portions seemed small and everything seems to be ala carte. Very relaxed environment. We had eight guest and the bill ended up being almost $300 after tip and several people shared a plate.

The food was fine. Not bad but didn’t blow us away. The service, however, was terrible. One person working the whole dining room, and she was quite rude. When we asked questions, it was as if she took it as an affront to her character. Treated us like complete idiots who were wasting her time. Also, why are your personal drinks and a cleaning spray out in the open for all to see the entire meal? We had high hopes for a nice meal and were disappointed.

BIG disapointment. My husband and I went there to celebrate our 35th anniversary. We ordered the Sticky Shrimp to start our meal which was really good. I ordered the Scallops, Potato gnocchi, tomato pesto, house bacon, carrot purée. The scallops were like a salt lick and the gnocchi which should be light and pillowy were like chewy rubber balls. The saving grace on my plate was the carrot purée which tasted wonderful even if the texure wasn't velvety smooth, it was more rustic. My husband ordered the CAB Choice Ribeye, Baked Potato and we shared the Grilled Zucchini. He ordered his ribeye cooked medium-rare but there was hardly any pink at all. The steak was less than 1" thick but was edible, it also lacked seasoning. We will stick to Longhorn for steak. The potato well is a potato. Our waitress forgot the Grilled Zucchini so when it finally reached our table we were almost done fortunately she didn't charge us for the zucchini also it was a little oily but tasted good, it wasn't seasoned so it helped cut the saltyness of the scallops I had left. We decided to go ahead and try dessert, well why not. We had the Pineapple upside down cake. It was really tasty but cold, like straight out of the frig which was okay but it would have been so much better with some kind of ooey gooey sauce. Our waitress was very sweet. The inside of the restaurant is nice and the lighting is good. But the steps up into the restaurant are not very handicap friendly. They need some good hand rails on both sides of the stairs. We might try agian sometime but for the small plates as they seem to have good reviews and that is what the Sticky Shrimp is. But for the price no more main meals.

Food was okay. Scallops and Filet were undercooked and portions were fairly small with a higher price tag. Seems like they are trying to be more upscale, but you need better cooks if you want to charge more with smaller

This restaurant offers an excellent selection of drinks, including high-quality wines, and the steak is also delicious. It is likely one of the top three restaurants in Cookville.

This is hidden gem in Cookeville. They have higher end meals with great service and a very nice wine selection. I love the duck breast and the seafood I've had here. Putnam Room is my go to for a nice "date dinner". It's also where I always choose for my birthday. Try the lunch menu too.

The tapas was delicious and service was excellent. The venue is cute but minimalist. We were annoyed by a very drunk and loud party nearby, but otherwise it was a terrific experience. Try the sticky shrimp.

Really nice upscale restaurant in Cookeville. We enjoy the happy hour as well during the week. Service is always good and the food is delightful. One of the best places in town.
