Hidden little spot in the heart of Cool Springs -- I never knew it even existed until last night!…read moreMy friends daughter was performing in a local kids production of Annie the musical, and it was hosted here. Easy and plentiful parking. Tiny concession stand area, and great stage and seating area. Very tight though! I would not want to be in any row except the front row as no space on the sides, only one single narrow middle row, so you are literally trapped like in an airplane trying to deplane. I'm not claustrophobic by any means, but this was a little tight for me. Aside from that -- fantastic venue! Can't wait for another show!

This well-preserved historic setting is a "gracious host" for such special events. Yet I must say at the outset that an otherwise beautiful evening of skillfully prepared food paired with exceptionally fine wines was tarnished somewhat by the actual venue itself. The stark, undecorated bare brick walls served to act as reverberating amplifiers of the happy, albeit slightly raucous crowd of 64 diners. For me, the din of diners' conversations, punctuated by squeals and cackles of laughter simply stifled any polite conversation save for that with the dinner guest on my immediate right. (I was at the end of a table so there was no one on my immediate left.) And to converse with the normally delightful friend seated across from me, I had to either lean well into the middle of the table or shout, neither option conducive to pleasant communication. The noise was simply, bluntly, brutally unpleasant. But enough of the negative. Awful acoustics aside, dinner was absolutely delightful, de-lovely, delicious. We were invited to sip a bit and mingle a while for an hour before dinner was served. During that time we enjoyed a light, barely effervescent Sofia Sparkling Blanc de Blanc while deftly nibbling on dutifully delicate Honey Lavender Goat Cheese Tartlets topped with Paddlefish Caviar. The caviar added just a hint of flavor and texture to the mini slightly tart tartlets. First Course: Herb Crusted Sea Scallops, fork-tender but slightly over-blackened for my tastes. The accompanying Cauliflower Puree was über creamy and smooth, while the Toasted Pine Nuts, Currants, and Chile Oil provided lovely counterpoints in texture and taste. Noticeably absent was the "Shitake Bacon", but although I searched for it via my palate, it was nowhere to be found on this plate. The accompanying Sofia Chardonnay was (just as the Coppola vintners describe it) delicate, light, only slightly acidic (I personally didn't pick up on this) and a perfect accompaniment. Second Course: Seared Corvina on a bed of lovely, nutty, rust-colored Bhutanese Red Rice. The fish had a crisp sear but, depending on how thick your portion was, the fish came across as cooked too dry to slightly moist. (My dinner guests compared and contrasted their portions of this mild-flavored fish, the moist portions being the better.) Coconut Milk, citrusy-acidic Lime, pungent Ginger, and Cilantro combined to give this dish a nice finish. The paired Director's Cut Savignon Blanc was fine for this course. Third Course: Braised Beef Short Ribs and Morel Mushroom Sauce plus Apple and Fennel Salad proved the least favorite of the night. The beef was wonderfully tender and smoky, but didn't pack the punch the aroma suggested. The Morels - one of my all time favorite fungi - were slightly salty and could have been the main part of this course for my tastes. The crisp fennel and thinly sliced apple salad went well with a rather mysterious Lost Colony Red Blend. Again, this didn't have the body I would suggest for this heavy a course. Fourth Course: Vanilla Mascarpone Cream (yum-yum-yummy) and Almond Granola Tuile (slightly inconsistent because it was more mushy than crisp, perhaps since I was the last person served out of the 64) came with a "meh" Spiced Wine Poached Pear. Least favorite of the courses tonight, this was paired with a rare - usually served only at the winery - Late Harvest Semillion. If you get a chance to attend one of these dinners...grab it! It might not be perfect, but it made for a near perfect Valentine Dinner for us. (Just glad my taste buds aren't connected to my taste buds and thus not adversely affected by the cacophony.)

Beautiful Event Venue!…read more I have a chef crush on the owner Jason McConnell. He has three restaurants in addition to this event house and everything he cooks is fantastically delicious. Tonight the McConnell House hosted Food Truck Fight night. I'm a sucker for gourmet food coming out of a truck. There were several food trucks parked behind the house. The plan was to look at all the truck's menus and then choose carefully. It can be so difficult to choose just one so you may have to try food from several. Each truck has a number that you can text to vote for them. Just in case great food isn't enough for a great time there is also a dj playing party music. The only thing missing was our camping chairs. Since I discovered this event occurs every third Thursday of the month we will return with our chairs next month and plan to stay longer.

1) Do you like horses?…read more 2) Do you like free entertainment? If you answered "Yes" to both questions, then get thee to the Miller Coliseum. Throughout the year, the Coliseum offers a schedule of events that are mostly free and give you a chance to watch beautiful horses at close range - http://www.mtsu.edu/tmc/schedule.php A couple of events - motorcycle cross tour, truck and tractor pull, etc. - do charge admission fees, but those are still affordable (under $20/person) and the vast majority of horse-related events are free. We visited this past weekend for the Volunteer Ranch Horse Show. The show ran all day Saturday and Sunday. If we had stayed for the whole show, it might have gotten a little repetitive, but it was a joy to be able to drop in for a couple of hours and observe some expert horsemanship. Tip - All those horses, motorcycles and tractors do stir up a fair amount of dirt. The building is coated in dust - literally up to the rafters. Not a deal-breaker, but you may want to leave your tuxedos and ball gowns at home.

All of our family and guests kept commenting on how beautiful and unique the space was. We had draping/extra lighting put up on the columns in the atrium and it was very soft and romantic. They have done away with the required vendors but keep a list of preferred vendors that they recommend and have a good reputation with; we ended up using a few on their list and had fantastic experiences with everyone they suggested. Laura was our contact, and she was amazing. She was super responsive to our emails for planning, very accommodating to our busy schedules and many requests, and an overall great person to work with. She made the extra furniture rentals (upgraded chairs, extra tables) a breeze, and gave us plenty of time to rehearse the day before.
