Amazing food, fantastic service. Great spot right in the east Nashville neighborhood. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Bad Idea is a GOOD IDEA!

Very nice vibes, I had a reservation and was taken right to my table upon arrival! Maxx was my waiter and was attentive, conversational, and very knowledgeable of the menu. The menu was really good! I ordered the crudite, which was the tastiest plate of vegetables I’ve had, and the ballotine chicken. It was so good and had no room for anything else!

Food is amazing especially the scallop, and branzino dish
