    Oh so good, yet again. Some folk seem to have had a bad experience, but every time we go the staff seems to outdo itself. Ben was our server, and he was terrific. We had the Bass, Salmon, Steak Frites, and pork chops. All of us commented on the quality of the food and the service.

    The restaurant had great reviews so we decided to try it. The service was absolutely horrible. We waited two hours for our food! Our waiter brought appetizers, which were by far the best part of the meal. After talking to the manager, she was able to get us our food, which was mediocre. She said she would comp the meal but didn't. Overall, I would not recommend this place. The atmosphere is nice and the live music was the only thing that kept us.

    I want to start off by saying that I work in the Culinary Industry and this was probably one of my WORST experiences at a restaurant. We came in New Years Eve for dinner. We sat down and waited about 10 minutes before anyone came and welcomed us and took our order. Our original waiter was also the bartender, which was not going to work. The bartender told us they were short staffed and you could tell. Their was 6 people at my table and he started off by taking our orders with out writing anything down. I had to tell him to get a pen and paper. We also ordered drinks and they all came out at different times. At one point, we had to grab another waitress around us to check on our drinks. My mother went and found the general manager and asked for our waiter to be changed because having the bartender as the waiter was not working. So we received a new waitress and she really did try her best to make us happy. Our food took about 1.5 hours to come out and it wasn't even hot. I ordered the eggplant parmesan and it was awful. My parents ordered the steak and fries and the fries were extremely soggy and cold. We complained and our waitress brought out new ones which were hot but still soggy. Overall this was a terrible pick for our New Years Eve dinner. From my personal experience working in the Culinary Industry, if you end up being short staffed on one of your busiest nights of the year, turn people away who do not have a reservation or better yet just stay closed if you are that short staffed. This restaurant not only had terrible service but the food was bad too.

    New Year's Eve night so we knew it would be a little crazy. Mike the server was great and made it a special night. The food was good - except for the meat. Both were over cooked and no flavor. I would try again because of the rest of the meal, surroundings, and Mike- thanks on a busy night.

    Food was great. I wish there was more of it on the plate for the price. Cozy ambiance. I would suggest picking this restaurant only if you are not in a hurry or have a lot to talk about because the service was SLOW. Friendly and polite, but SLOW.

    The waitress first spilled a whole glass of ice water on the table and just took napkins to cover up the wetness. They were out of hot tea-she said their truck didn't come in. The food was average and it was very cool and drafty-never took my coat off!

    We had been at the Music City Bowl Game all day and were tired and cold, and found Ellendale's by doing a GMap search, and we were easily able to book a table through the OpenTable app. We showed up there at 7:30 pm, and were pleased to find a quiet atmosphere and a warm fake fire next to our table. The service was just a bit slow, but we didn't mind, as we were so happy to be warm and to get away from all the crowds. The food was really good, and our server was very friendly and accommodating.

    Absolutely one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I ordered the shrimp and grits with sea bass & grilled corn. Sea bass was VERY small, thus overdone. The grits were ice cold, as were the shrimp on top. The grits were one big blob of mush, with to much cold cheese mixed in. The waiter said the restaurant is under temporary management and she was busy, so he couldn't take off the meal from my bill! Removed a salad instead. While this was all happening, a pregnant woman walked past us toward the ladies room. Next thing we heard was someone screaming for help. She had fallen through the floor going into the restroom! They had a leaking ceiling, which dripped onto the floor, thus causing "rot". An ambulance came and took her away. Needless to say, I'm betting this palace will be closed and hopefully not reopened soon.
