    Could not have picked a better location for our 30th anniversary. From the private and curtain off booth to the menu to the drinks and especially our server, 1799 made our special night even more special.

    The food was excellent, but the service was quite slow. Took 15 minutes to get our drinks, and our wine was never poured by the waiter.

    The restaurant is beautiful and has a great ambience. Service was excellent and attentive. Our appetizers were absolutely amazing (beef tartare and cornbread panzanella) but our entrees unfortunately fell extremely short. We got the elk and bison which we ordered med rare. Only a quarter of my bison was close to medium rare and the rest was med well to well done. The cauliflower had little to no seasoning as well. The elk chop was medium and was over-seared. The accompaniments to this were also bland with little seasoning. Extremely disappointing considering the bison was a $51 dish and the elk chop was $86 and the most expensive entree on the menu. We wish we would’ve sent both back. We had such high hopes after the starters and the service. We will probably be back at some point but it won’t be for a while and will not get those dishes again.

    Valet parking procedure needs clarification!! We were given a parking receipt. Thought it would be charged to our dinner bill. Found out had to present cc a second time to pay the $5.49. No cash accepted. Mickey Mouse procedure for a 4 Star Restaurant.

    One of the best meals we've ever had! Absolutely five stars all around. Our server Jessica was phenomenal - she was a total pro and very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate the menu as a fellow pescatarian. We really appreciated the variety of seafood options. Food was exceptional from beginning to end. We were a party of three and ordered the pepper appetizer and the brussels spouts (minus the sausage), both were delicious. We also had the salad with roasted chickpeas, another winner. For entrees we had branzino and trout -- really spectacular meals all artfully presented and cooked to perfection. Dessert was top notch, too -- carrot cake and strawberry mousse, both were to die for. Cocktails were very creative -- the songwriter was a real star with an infusion of lavender. Looking forward to returning soon!

    The food was amazing. Two of our party had the pork chop and it was fantastic! I highly recommend it and will return for it. The service was less than stellar. The server himself was very nice but was clearly on too many tables and was not able to provide the level of attention you would expect at a high end restaurant. Also the wait to be seated (about 30 min post reservation) was not a great start and the subsequent waits for both our first round of drinks (20 min) and meal (45-60 min) was excessive. It felt like the manager was out for the night and front of house was suffering. We intend to try again in the future as long as we don’t have a time crunch.

    We sat down at a table right on top of another table that the men were very load. Asked to move & were moved to a very private table. Much nicer. Our waitress, Natasha, was fantastic! Our food was outstanding! We had an appetizer…peach burrata, split a salad…wedge & entrees…branzino & pork chop. Everything was top notch! Thank you!

    My wife and I decided to come to Franklin for our 20th wedding anniversary. We stayed at the hotel Hilton and made dinner reservations at 1799. The service was great. A little slow at first but great the rest of the evening. There was an air o conditioner vent over our table that was dripping on my wife. After a couple times, we mentioned to our server and he came over and with a towel attached to the end of the stick “mopped” off the vent and we had no problem after that. As far as food, the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer was fantastic. Great flavor. Main course was a complete flop. I ordered the Bison strip steak and it came out cold and was just chewy. Sent it back for a tenderloin. My wife’s tenderloin was just luke warm when it came out. By the time my second entree did come out, it was just charred and seemed burn and after two bites, I asked them just to take the meal off my tab. It truly was inedible. The hotel was good, but if we stay here again, I would not return to this restaurant. Besides the Brussels sprouts, the food was a big flop.
