Great location, just off Broadway, and the best views of the Ryman in town! The food is amazing: fresh, healthy, and delicious! We especially loved the cauliflower and tuna, but everything was wonderful. The wine program is awesome!!! They have a ton of selections by the glass and they come out of keg fresh and vibrant. We did two different flights, a great way to try multiple wines but not over indulge. Huge fan of Sixty Vines!!!!
