You can’t go wrong with anything at Nightingale’s. Buttermilk fried chicken and the brussel sprouts are divine! So much more to try!

Great experience! Fun atmosphere, great service, cute and tasty drinks! It was a Christmas theme and was definitely festive. The food was excellent, tasting homemade rather than store-bought. The only downside was the music, which was incredibly loud. I liked it loud and energetic, but it was too much.
