It was walking distance from our hotel and a couple of blocks to Broadway so great location. I chose the halibut and it was delicious. It was tender inside but had a nice sauted crisp on the outside. Unfortunately, I did not like the veggies that came with it and I pretty much love all veggies. It was listed as summer squash escabeche. Not something for my palate in taste or texture. Husband had the Lumache alla vodka pasta and it was very good. We started with the meatball appetizer. Loved that. We finished with the affogato which is one of my favs.

Absolutely not. The place is very easy going and all of the staff is super helpful and knowledgeable - especially when guiding you to a meal that balances what you want without totally over ordering (although that can't help me). Then you circle around to the food itself... the smoke on the meats is perfectly balanced with the natural flavor of the meat with the seasoning. The meats are also WET and JUICY in the best way and what you wanted to be fatty was the right level of fatty. My favorite is probably the ribs, followed by the wings with the Alabama white, and then a close tie for third but the big bologna takes the cake. GO TO MARTINS IF YOU WANT GOOD BBQ! And then go again the next night.

The menu has plenty to choose from, whether you're in the mood for fried chicken, steak, salads, oysters, meatloaf, burgers, or ribs. We started with the crab cakes and the steak biscuits. I absolutely LOVED the steak biscuits, very tender steak on a light, fluffy biscuit. The crab cake was a touch too fishy for my taste, but the cheddar biscuits more than made up for it. Those things are to die for. For my main I got the ribs with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The ribs were amazing and the mashed potatoes were just as good. The Brussels sprouts were really good too, I just wish they'd been a little crispier. Overall, a really good spot. Will definitely be back!

The live music goes all day, and the rooftop is easily one of the largest I've ever had cocktails on, and I've been to quite a few rooftop venues.

I ordered the Hot Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and it was delicious. Crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was most excellent inside and on the rooftop.

They had two different singers performing while we were there, which was a nice touch and added to the experience. Service was fair--not especially quick, but definitely not terrible either. The atmosphere is VERY loud, even for a Monday night, so this probably isn't the place if you're looking for a quiet dinner or easy conversation. Nashville definitely got a lot livelier after we left, though, so I can only imagine what it's like later in the evening or on a weekend! Overall, this is a solid place to stop if you're downtown and want good food, live music, and the full Nashville atmosphere.

It was our first time visiting, and we weren't sure where to go. The security guard at the main door was very helpful and pointed us in the right direction. However, when we got upstairs, it was a different story. There was no one there to give us any direction, and we didn't see a sign stating whether we could seat ourselves. The place was a bit busy, but there was a section with about six empty tables. We chose to sit there so we could be near the fan since it was very humid yesterday. No one acknowledged that we had been seated, so when a waiter walked by to clear a table, I asked if it was okay for us to seat ourselves. He said yes, handed us menus, and walked away. No problem--I could tell it was busy and that he was running around, so I took no offense to him walking off. We waited about 10-15 minutes. No one offered us water or came over to greet us. The same waiter I had spoken to returned to our table carrying an empty pitcher, and I greeted him. In response, I got, "You know what you want?" I repeated my greeting, and he repeated his question. Mind you, he never introduced himself, so I have no clue what his name is. The only conversation we had before that was when he confirmed that we could seat ourselves. While I understand being overwhelmed or tired, I can't understand being met with such a rude disposition when I had done nothing to warrant that response. Needless to say, I didn't want someone who found greeting me to be an impossible task handling my food, so we left. He couldn't have cared less that we were leaving. He grabbed his pitcher and walked away before we did. They could have really good food and drinks, but I'll never know. My hope is that this was a one-off situation, but something tells me it's not. There's a bar on the first and fourth floors. The first floor is pretty open with minimal seating, so I'm assuming it's meant for dancing. They also have a live band set up on that floor. Lastly, thank you to the security guard. He was a tall guy with braids, and despite our brief interaction, he was the only person who made us feel welcome. Outside of that interaction, this place was disappointing.
