One of our favorite restaurants in Nashville, and our most favorite spot for oysters. We always have the best experience! Incredible service, fantastic food, and always the freshest oysters and seafood. Thanks for being our go-to date night spot again and again.
Dined for our wedding night together. Beautifully clean open kitchen, brilliant service, delicious food. The staff, practically all of them, went out of their way to make our evening so special. If you are eating out only once in Nashville, this is the restaurant to choose.
This restaurant is super cute with such a relaxing ambience. The oysters were 10/10, and they had a great selection. We also had deviled eggs which were good. I ordered the flounder which was delicious, but still had a few bones even after our server filleted it. My absolute favorite thing I ate was the roasted mushrooms, I could not get enough of those! Highly recommend!
