Beautiful venue, look at the pictures. One thing that isn't shown in the pictures is the absolute…read moredisaster of a staff that runs the place. Speaking to that woman Laura made me wish I was instead dealing with the Department of Motor Vehicles. She couldn't have been more disrespectful if she was headlining a Roast. Not only was her attitude a perpetual black cloud hovering over the reception, but her total lack of understanding of the activities that take place at a typical wedding left her to cluelessly complain about the audacity of the patrons to drink, dance, and celebrate while at (of all places) a wedding. I know, I know... how outrageous of us. So if you do decide to choose this as a venue for an upcoming event, know that going in. It would probably be in your best interests to request that Laura be given the night off. It speaks to the level of this woman's mismanagement that her mere presence on the site is enough to overshadow the beauty of the venue itself. Laura, please let me know if you feel I am at all incorrect, I'd be happy to expand on any point in question. Best wishes.

I went here recently for a friends wedding and was surprised to find this jewel tucked away off…read moreBriley Parkway and McGavock Pike. The mansion itself, is undergoing renovation on the outside. The inside was beautiful and a very good spot to hold the reception for about 100 people. Most of the action took place outside. The outside deck was perfect for over looking the grassy area where the dance floor was. The parking is mainly on gravel. Be prepared for that when you are dressed up. There is nice little gazebo and another small stable structure on the property. I believe I was told this property is a nonprofit. Which means, your rental feel is partly tax deductible. The property staff were nice considering a bunch of 20-30's partiers where sitting on railings and such. But, to her effort, they are trying to restore much of the grounds.

We celebrated our anniversary here and had the best time! I…read morehad the steak and my husband had the pork chop, they were both delicious and I think I liked my husband's pork chop more than my steak! We celebrated with a dessert and they gave us a card that says happy anniversary from the staff put on our table. *cheesecake was paid by us, not sure if they do anything for celebration besides the small card that they nonchalantly put on the table when they sat us But this place is very open and had high ceiling, clean and welcoming

I've been here twice and the food is always excellent. I also love that they have several…read moredifferent NA wines that are very good, and that they have half pour options! My qualm with Sixty Vines is that both times I've been here, there was a huge delay between the time we finished eating and the time we actually saw our server again to get our check. I'm talking 15+ minutes which feels like forever when you are ready to go. I believe the first time we actually had to ask another server to go find our server. They don't validate parking in the garage so those extra minutes can be the difference between $20 or $29 parking tab. They have handheld portable card swipers for payment. I think it is a general courtesy for the server to turn around or sort of pretend they're looking across the room. I did not necessarily want to tip on the $30 of pre-bottled water we got, but there was a lot of pressure to select either 20% 22% or 24% buttons, so he got an extra $6. It's fine, I just thought it was kinda weird he was watching what I selected.

I frequently drive by the entrance to this mansion, but had never visited. So on another…read moreunseasonably warm February Sunday, my four-legged pal and I ventured to check it out. The drive up to the house is narrow...and I actually love that. Despite the modern day pave, it's so reminiscent of the era. The signage is a bit lacking (looks like they're in the process of replacing it), but I quickly figured to continue around to the back side of the house and park in one of the painted spaces there. We started out by walking around the house itself. It's a beautiful place. I especially loved the glass bottles I could see sitting on some on the window sills. I wonder if they're original to the house? The steps leading to the front porch were cabled off, so we weren't permitted to get a closer look. The State of Tennessee owns this property now, and it's presently being used as offices for the Historical Commission. They do not provide tours, but they have installed placards throughout the property grounds as a means of a self-guided tour. Aside from these grounds previously serving as a private plantation to at least three different families, it has also served as a residence to staff of the Tennessee School for the Blind. (The school is still located next door to this property.) The entire property is fenced with a drive in the front (from Lebanon Pike), and a gravel road in the back leading to a service road of sorts. It's adjacent to the Stones River Greenway. On the land in front of the house, aside from the drive itself, there is another paved path for non-motorized traffic. Great for walking. The land in the back is comprised of mostly open fields, with several more historical buildings throughout. There are several barns, two cabins that were once slave quarters, and a chicken coop. Two of the barns that are just marked as State property with no trespassing signs...both of which have seen better days! I obeyed the signage and did not go inside these structures, but they sure do look to be possessing a whole bunch of...junk. One is even housing an old claw foot bathtub! There's also a "newer" house off in the back that I believe was built after the State had purchased it. The graves of the first family that owned this plantation can be found nearby, but are not located within the fenced property of the house. They're directly behind the YMCA. Definitely worth a Sunday stroll for another piece of Nashville history. Just note: While I found dumpster there I could throw doggie waste into, I did not see any restrooms open to the public. P.S. I drafted this review prior to the tornadoes that hit Nashville last week, which greatly impacted this area. However, in the days since, I have confirmed the main house is still standing. I am uncertain at this time if the property sustained any damage, or how extensive it may be.
