    First time. Live music was really good, Jesse Black played. . Check out his schedule online. Service was ok. Not great but we had a good time. Food was good but very slow. We will try again soon. Love the atmosphere....nice back patio and fire pit.

    There is a great looking fire pit out in the back that certainly drew my attention.

    I came here for lunch with 2 girlfriends a couple weeks ago and I ordered The Honky Roll sushi and…read moreBoom Boom shrimp appetizer. They were both excellent! I would definitely order these again. I also had 2 cocktails, a Moscow Mule and the John Daly's Lemonade. The Mule was mediocre, I would not order this drink here again, but the John Daly's Lemonade was soooo good! There is a nice large bar in this restaurant and we heard that they have live music on the weekends and it draws a good crowd. At lunch however, the atmosphere is a little blah, no music, only 3 tables of guests on the Friday we were there. Definitely needs a little something! The big shocker though was the bill. My sushi, Boom Boom shrimp and 2 cocktails at lunch came to $70. Be aware they charge an 18% gratuity to ALL checks even if you are 1 person. This is Sparta, not Nashville!! For me, this is not a place I will frequent because of the prices and atmosphere, which is sad because I live so close and I really liked what I ordered and our waitress was very nice and polite! Something I didn't notice, but my 2 friends both expressed was that the women's bathroom had a horrible strong cleaner smell. It did look like they are putting in an amphitheater and outdoor seating which would be nice especially if they have live music in the evenings during the summer.

    Upscale bar food. Upscale decor. Crazy expensive for a golf course bar/restaurant. They want to…read moreattract Nashville on price and ambiance, forgetting about all of the locals!

    We were at the caverns and asked our tour guide for food recommendations. He mentioned he hadn't…read morebeen here, but heard it was good, but pricey. It was our anniversary so we decided to splurge. Appetizer -Fried green tomatoes. Good, but a little lacking in something. The tortilla chicken soup was more like a delicious chip dip than a soup, but we enjoyed it immensely. Seasonal cocktails, expensive but TASTY! Note, wine list is very short, and could use more mid range wines. Tip, pay the $2 to upgrade your brussel sprouts. Easily the best thing I had, well except for dessert. Salmon was amazing, and the corn had such a lovely char flavor. Can't go wrong with mashed potatoes, the plate was perfect. The rib eye was very good. The garlic green beans were also good. But the Brussel sprouts! A must try. As mentioned, it was our anniversary, and they brought us a dessert gratis. Super kind. Before we ordered, our server had mentioned the ice cream sandwich was to die for, so we also ordered that. It...was...to die for. Another must have. We live about 2 hours away, but I'm looking forward to coming back when the seasonal menu changes.

    We came for Valentine's Day, which was a set menu, but we were not disappointed…read more We started with the stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious. Only downside was there was no bread to sop up the delicious jus. My husband had the Caesar salad and I had the lobster bisque. He was happy with his salad but I could not eat the bisque as it was way too salty. It also had no identifiable lobster. We both had the surf and turf (steak plus shrimp) and it was perfectly prepared. Mashed potatoes were great. Brussels sprouts were slightly overdone. Dessert was the chocolate dessert and it was also delicious. Our server Leo kept our alcohol at perfect dining levels. We love this restaurant.
