I had my eye on the establishment once I arrived in Nashville! I researched Oysters and wanted an upscale menu so my friends could have options as I indulged my need for Oysters and more Oysters! The Oysters were fresh and flavorful! All the staff from hostesses to waitstaff were super friendly! I liked the aesthetic of the space! This was good choice & would recommend! Note: The kitchen is closed between 3p-5p and the only option is the raw bar!

I have eaten here a few times, always sat at the bar. The bar staff are great, quick, and have great knowledge of the menu and recommendations. Always get the charred oysters! The BBQ shrimp is great too. The fried chicken salad is massive. Tonight we got the Southern Style Meatloaf and the special, Double Smoked Pork Chop. This place is a must if you’re in Nashville looking for fine southern dining.

Very busy on a Thursday. Attentive wait staff. Excellent small plate / appetizers. Daily menu selections are as varied as the regular menu. Good choice of mocktails and bar specials. Large dining area with a small plus a medium sized private dining areas. Some sides are large enough for two.

The Southern just set a new standard for brunch that will take years to match. Bloody Mary was very good, and I got to try the Second Wind which reminded me of one of our favorite cruise drinks. We had oysters "Southern style," which we were told was like their version of Rockefeller. These were by far my new favorite way to eat oysters. I had the Steak & Biscuit Benedict. The flavors were absolutely on point. Although subtle, the star of the show for me was the blue cheese biscuit. Portions were such that I almost never missed out on a "perfect bite." I cannot wait to come back to this spot.

My husband and I came here for his birthday dinner and we were served by Elijah! He was ON TOP OF IT! Our drinks were never empty and as soon as a plate was empty or we had trash on the tables from cracker wrappers, he was there picking them up! From friendly service to amazing food this place is nothing short of amazing! We even had a chance to interact with the manager as we were leaving and she was an absolute sweetheart! It was our first time here (and we have both lived here all of our lives!) but it definitely won’t be the last! This kind of service and kindness from the staff is extremely hard to find!

Had a wonderful brunch here. Husband and I had a lovely server/bartender whose name we forgot but had a killer mustache. The ambience was elevated when the love musicians arrived. Overall, would come back and highly recommend for a great brunch. We started off our meals with a carafe of mimosas. We then shared a dozen oysters severed cooked Souther Style. My husband also had the gumbo. Both were delicious starters. I had the Shrimp ‘N’ Grits which were savory and delicious. My husband had the Smoked Baby Back Ribs which were tender. We then shared a rich chocolate cake with the smoothest gelato to pair. I highly recommend any of these dishes and hope to try more!

I got the T for Tennessee. The steak was super chewey, but decent. Didn’t eat the eggs because there was too much cheese. Would suggest ordering with half cheese. Service was good!! And their drinks look good, but I didn’t have one.
