This is our new favorite brunch spot since moving back to Nashville. Staff is great brunch is amazing as are the bar options. The lemon poppy French toast and the brunch burger are excellent choices.

This was a great hidden (not so hidden) gem in Nashville! We wandered in and had one of the best steaks I've tasting in years, Joanna our server was kind and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was clean and extremely welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Food was okay, nothing amazing. Especially for the price I ordered a arugala Salad and it came out with three nuts goat cheese and arugula... that's it lol It was supposed to come out with apples and figs as well. The service was not great. Our waiter was nice but we hardly saw her, she never asked if we needed refills we had to ask. Food also took a very long time. Almost $200. Wouldn't eat here again.
