We enjoyed the ambience and had great service. Corbin did a great job as our Bartender.

Fairly small menu, but was delicious! I had the penne with vodka sauce and my husband had lasagna. Nice place off Broadway. Had live music. Five stars all the way!

This was one of the best meals AND SERVICE I've had in a long long time. Great prices on everything. I got the penne vodka cream with shrimp. Brussel sprouts as appetizer. Everything was great. Live music that wasn't overwhelming.

Had an amazing time here! The vibe is upscale yet relaxed, and the music really sets the mood. Drinks were expertly made, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Perfect spot for a night out in Nashville!
