I had duo filet mignon and my wife had the boneless short ribs. Both were excellent. We split a flourless chocolate torte for desert which was outstanding. The fresh sourdough bread was amazing.

Our server, (forgot his name) was outstanding and so were all the staff that night. We stared with the calamari and it was good, but we had more fried shrimp than calamari which we thought was odd. We split the wedge salad which was good but dressing was on the rather sweet side. The potato was okay, not really special. The best part was the steak. Made perfectly and good but will say it was pretty fatty so a few areas we couldn't eat. Also the macaroni and cheese is usually one of my fave but this time lacked flavor and was dry. All in all, it was okay and not our norm experience with their food.

Even though they were busy, the two sweet hostesses managed to get us seated right away at the bar. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad, and my husband got the dry-aged ribeye. Everything was AMAZING. The steak was cooked perfectly, and even the Caesar salad was one of those dishes that was simple but just really, really good. We finished with the crème brûlée for dessert, which was also wonderful. Such a great experience from start to finish, especially considering we walked in without planning ahead. Great food, great service, and such a nice atmosphere. We would 100% come back!

When we first walked in we loved the vibe of the restaurant and decided to sit at the bar. When we…read morefirst sat down the bartender was very attentive and friendly. As time went on we noticed it started taking longer to get his attention. Not once were we asked if we wanted another drink and we sat at the bar for over 2 hours. We did eat dinner which was pretty good. I ordered the NY strip with truffle butter and I didn't think it was the best steak I've ever had but it was pretty good. I would order again. My mom ordered the steak frites. It was good, but she didn't like the peppercorn sauce. I think if that's your thing it would be good but it just wasn't her taste preference. We also got a side of broccoli gratin. Very good. Cheese and broccoli... what's not to like? Overall I would say I had a decent experience. I'd like to go again and maybe try something else and sit at a table.

Came here on a sweltering day for lunch with a coworker & client, who we'll call Dennis because…read morethat was his name. Culamar is drenched in natural light and decorated simply - nothing too loud or busy about the place, thus perfect for a working lunch. The menu was odd and we all struggled to understand the categories it was broken up into. Each item read as a series of arbitrarily listed ingredients. Our (half asleep, disinterested) waitress informed us the dishes were, in majority, "tapas style", a term I find exhaustingly passé. I began to dream of restaurants down the road we could have selected, but we were here and we must stay the course! I had to keep it together for Dennis. We ordered 6 dishes for the three of us to share, and you know what? They were all excellent. Really such outstanding bites. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed the beef carpaccio, the calamari was the best I've ever had (amazing tempura fry!), the Gnuddi (basically a massive gnocchi) in browned butter and crisp sage was a pillowy delight. In spite of my initial concerns -- the hiccups of a confusing menu and our less-than-energetic waitress -- we all left with pleased palates.

We were hoping to sit on the rooftop, but unfortunately it was raining, so we ate inside. The…read morerestaurant wasn't necessarily that busy, but because the space is really tight, it definitely felt busy and a little cramped. Service was also a bit slow. The food itself was absolutely delicious. The bread was AMAZING and honestly one of the highlights. We also ordered the oysters, beef carpaccio, and duck, and everything tasted incredible. My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.

We arrived a little early so we could sit at the bar and enjoy an Old Fashioned before the rest of the guests arrived. It's a classic, old-school bar with so much character! Once we got to our table, we were greeted with some warm, toasty bread to get things started. For an appetizer, we ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp were large, and the cocktail sauce was perfect! Now, here's a must: Order the salad bar! It's legendary! For my entrée, I went with my usual Filet Oskar, sooo good and cooked to perfection! Others in our group had the filet and the fish, and everyone loved their meals. Since it was Mom's 90th birthday, she had the Peppermint Ice Cream, which is her favorite! And here's the really sweet part. Our waitress, Sylvia, noticed that I had birthday candles sitting off to the side. Without saying a word, she discreetly came behind me, took the candles, and put them on Mom's ice cream! Then they worked their magic. They came to the table, took a few pictures, and gave us the photos in a little paper frame to take home. What a wonderful memory from such a special birthday! And back to Sylvia, she was amazing! She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire meal, helped us while ordering, kept our water glasses filled, and always greeted us with her beautiful smile. This is why Sperry's is legendary, the food is great, but the service is what makes the experience truly special! If you're celebrating a special occasion, or you just want to have an amazing meal with amazing service, what are you waiting for? Get your reservation in! Cheers!

Ambiance was nice as always. Not too loud but was pretty busy. We had maybe a 5 minute wait once we checked in for our reservation. Our server was the sweetest on a Saturday evening and she was so knowledgeable about their different wine options. He asked her to pick a good red wine that was middle of the road and her option blew him away. It was very good. I got a red sangria and was pleased with it, I prefer mine to be sweeter though. Their bread was delicious as always, crab dip was very good! Wish I had more. Their Caesar was much larger than expected so we shared it but it was good. I opted for the filet medallions Oscar (not pictured) which was good and ordered them medium. Honestly they weren't cooked consistently at all but still very good. Some pretty rare and maybe one out of 4 were actually medium. The ones too undercooked I just took home and ate the next day with eggs. Wish it came with a little more asparagus though. Whipped potatoes are very good! Overall enjoyed my time here and after all: two glasses of wine, two sangrias, bone in ribeye, Caesar, au gratin potatoes, filet medallions Oscar, whipped potatoes and crab dip we had a bill of around $225.

The baked potato was massive and tasty, though it could have used a little more butter and sour cream to really take it over the top. Service was excellent throughout. The staff was very attentive, consistently refilling water glasses and checking in to see if anyone wanted another mimosa, which added to the relaxed brunch vibe. All in all, a solid first brunch visit. Good food, great service.

Comes with jalapeno hot sauce - don't be shy, it's more slightly tangy than spicy and it perfects the delicious deviled eggs. Appreciate that they're generous with the glazed bacon. Wife loves the little gem salad. It's a bit light for dinner; she cleans her plate. Special of fish and chips - sounded wonderful, but they were out of the fish shortly after 5:30pm - what? It must have been a carry over from the previous evening is all I can imagine. Anyway, if it's on the daily specials, order as soon as you see it! Loud, bustling, it's a popular place, be sure to reserve ahead (of sit at the beautiful bar, that works for a lot of folks as well).

For starters, we ordered the oysters with mignonette and the ricotta with poached peaches, which was especially good. The combination of the creamy ricotta and sweet poached peaches was a standout. For entrées, I had the Parmesan-crusted grouper, which was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. One friend ordered the Koji ribeye, topped with mushrooms, and said it was delicious. Another ordered the petit filet Oscar, along with sides of au gratin potatoes and creamed spinach. Our waiter,Riley, was knowledgeable about food and cocktails and gave us some great recommendations. Service was attentive and personable. The Manager also came and checked in with us and was very funny man. Overall, a great spot for cocktails, dinner, and catching up with friends so I would definitely come back!

I'm guessing that's due in part to Maverick, the General Manager, who seems genuinely committed to excellence. We actually came back this week because we realized we'd enjoyed our meal so much during our last visit that we forgot to take photos for our review. Believe it or not, we nearly forgot again! I rarely eat bread, but I always make an exception for the Spent Grain Loaf. Paired with the unbelievably fresh butter and flaky sea salt, it's one of my favorite things on the menu. My husband ordered the Prawn Cocktail. I'm allergic to shrimp, so I couldn't try it myself, but he said it was outstanding. I usually order the Koji Ribeye, but this time my husband claimed it first, so I ventured out and ordered the Alaskan Halibut with hash brown crust, orange vinaigrette, and watercress. It was absolutely delicious. My favorite side remains the Roasted Carrots with Leiper's Fork honey and tarragon--they're incredible. We finished with the Carrot Cake. It's less sweet than the version served at another well-known Franklin restaurant, which I actually prefer. The flavors are more nuanced, and the crunchy shredded carrot on top adds the perfect texture. The food was, as always, exceptional. We were fortunate to have Jeff Paul as our server again. He's knowledgeable, attentive, and strikes that perfect balance of being available without ever being intrusive. That said, we've honestly never had anything but excellent service at 1799. Maverick stopped by our table and was warm, engaging, and genuinely interested in making sure every guest had a memorable experience. It's clear he takes great pride in the restaurant, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. 1799 continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Franklin, and we can't wait for our next visit. -Wendy & Ben Ellis
