Decor and ambiance is great, Comfortable and open. Service is timely, friendly and helpful. Food on the other hand, lots of misses. Cornbread was way over cooked, dry and burnt. Twice baked potatoes were a salt bomb. So much sodium was inedible. The baked potatoes portion was dry and over done. Pork belly app was eh, the belly was braised but not rested in the braise so it was dry and then likely deep fried to crisp, not great texture or seasoning/flavor. The lima beans mixed into the grains were odd and undercooked, ate chalky. Ordered the whole smoked and fried chicken. Came out 8cut, breading was falling off, skin was rubbery, all joints were undercooked and bloody. Smoke was there but zero seasoning beyond that, this approach screams for a brine. Bottom of the plate was covered in oil. Ate maybe 1/2 a piece, noticed table next to us had the same issue, almost whole chicken was returned and server never asked why. Drinks were clearly batched, not bad but not a knock out for a signature 404 cocktail. Bar in the main floor looked interesting, but after dinner wasn’t willing to stop as we left. Would return and pray for better results.

Great atmosphere but food was below expectations, given cost. Shrimp was small, sodas were in small glasses with no refills. Definitely not a restaurant I would visit again

It was okay, but it makes sense why there were a lot of open reservations. The food was okay, but nothing great. Our server was nice.

3/4 ordered the chicken piccata, it was described as chicken with couscous, lemon caper sauce when it came the chicken was smoked and fried with bones in it, sitting at top of the couscous, which was not seasoned well at all. We expect that the smoked fried chicken on the menu was made and the restaurant was empty, and therefore they cut off pieces and put it on top of our piccata and then try to claim it as southern chicken piccata after the fact. The smoked fried chicken was on the menu too. When we shared our displeasure with both the manager and the server and that none of us liked it they said we didn’t think so and did nothing about it. On the other hand the spinach artichoke dip was delicious, the beef tartar was the tiniest portion ever which also lacked seasoning, but the desserts - the appler crisp and the tollhouse cookie were delicious. A glass of wine on the house would’ve made all the difference. with both the manager and the server. We were disappointed we had been there several times, but won’t be back. Nashville has so many great restaurants, so the choice has been made for us not to return.

The service was amazing. Cody our server was top notch. The food was just okay. Some over seasoned some not. The salads were fantastic however the entree was lackluster and the desert was small and didn’t have great flavor the Carmel on the bourbon cake was burnt.

The server and food were amazing, the only opportunity was the length of time when we ordered and when we received, longer than anticipated.
