“Tonight my friends and I had the pleasure of being served by Anna at J. Alexander’s in Franklin, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we sat down at the bar, she greeted us with a friendly smile and made us feel comfortable right away!

Our cocktails were excellent. Each one was perfectly mixed, presented beautifully, and tasted great. Anna was attentive without hovering, checking in at the right times and making sure we had everything we needed. She remembered our drink preferences after just one order and kept our waters filled without us having to ask. She also offered helpful suggestions for cocktails we might enjoy, which we really appreciated.

We come to J. Alexander’s a couple of times a week and have always had good service, but Anna stood out. She is professional, approachable, and clearly takes pride in her work! The atmosphere at the bar felt even more welcoming because of her.

It is not just about the drinks, it is about the overall experience, and Anna made ours great from start to finish. We truly enjoyed having her as our bartender and will definitely be asking for her again on future visits.

If you want excellent cocktails and friendly, attentive service, Anna is a great choice. She made our evening even better, and we look forward to seeing her again soon!“

“Food was amazing. Every dish except one out of this world! But the thing that set it over the top and will cause me to tell the world about this place. The reason I will return was Jared our server! I’ve been many places around the world. High end establishments all over. His service was exceptional and by far among the best! After you book your reservation request Jared as your server !!!“

“We made reservations through open table to meet out of town friends at Perry’s on a friday night at 6:30 pm but, when we arrived Perry’s didn’t have our reservation in the system and it wasn’t on my open table app (Thankfully I had screenshot the confirmation ) . The manager and staff were so kind and helpful. The food is amazing and the staff makes it even better. Denise was our waitress and her attention to detail was a 10/10. We will definitely go there again!“

“First time visiting Nashville we are from Nova Scotia, Canada. Stopped in here for dinner this evening and It was an excellent meal, service was fast, waitress was awesome!! Definitely give this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇨🇦 April 20/25“

“My wife and I celebrated our 24th anniversary with dinner at Cork & Cow. Everything, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect. Our reservation was for 9pm. We walked in at 8:45 and were seated immediately. Mike, our server, was quick to greet us and made excellent suggestions. I already knew I wanted the bone-in ribeye, but I wasn't settled on an appetizer. Mike suggested the pork belly: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. My wife ordered the filet. Both steaks were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Dessert didn't seem likely, since I was starting to feel full, but I overheard another server mention a chocolate torte that had peanut butter mousse, so. . . O. M. G. As if the food and service weren't good enough, we were back in our hotel room by 9:45.“

“Great food and service!! Kobe beaf was amazing.“

“I always have a great time at Cajun steamer! The food is delicious, my personal favorite is the voodoo chicken.The fried pickles are killer too. The whole staff is amazing but Morgan is my favorite, she always takes great care of me when I go.“
