    We had a reservation and the host told us, “there were a lot reservations,” we got stuck by the front door and it was freezing where we sat. However, the server did a great job and the food was delicious as usual! It was my parents first time there and they loved it!

    The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!

    I had the Dorothy menu (Wizard of Oz playing next door), stuffed eggplant/parmesan -- outstanding! Service just attentive enough. Everything was fine. The TV in the distance is a little distracting but with practice can be ignored. It's a great place, totally reliably excellent (and superb spinach!!)

    Absolutely gorgeous place, my wife and I arrived early, apparently they were not open yet. They led us too the most warm welcoming table, which had sitting room chairs, throw blankets, pillows and a beautiful view of downtown Nashville. The ambiance, smells and tastes were amazing. The four course meal was very good and the waitress was very accommodating and quite attentive. Id give this place a 5 star rating
