    The Salmon was delicious. So were the braised tips. The chocolate molten cake and the chocolate martini were outstanding, too! However, it was the Tuna appetizer (to die for!) that has us actively planning our next visit!

    The biggest issue is that the restaurant overbooked. They had taken reservations by phone as well as Open Table. Upon entering the restaurant at 6:50 and realizing that virtually everyone in line had a 7 pm reservation, we asked for our reservation to be moved to 8:30 and they agreed they did not have enough seats and that they never paid attention to open table. When we returned at 8:30 pm, we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. We could not even get a drink at the bar because the bartender was too busy. She immediately said she would not be able to get to us….at all. Meanwhile she joked with other customers and “cleaned” things up while we waited and waited.Once seated, although the service was slow, I attributed that to kitchen back up. I would go to the restaurant again but not on a holiday. Food was good.

    We made a reservation for 6 pm NYE and were seated immediately. Our waitress took our drink order to give us time to look over the menu. Once we ordered, our salads came out, which were very good. We ordered steaks as our main entree—cooked to our desired doneness. Our drinks were refilled throughout our meal. The sides were very tasty as well. We ordered a dessert to share and were happy of the size of the portion. We had not visited the restaurant before, but it was a nice surprise and hope to return at a later date.

    Food was good and well priced. Waitress was very good and attentive. Sadly, the bathroom was very messy.

    This has become one of our regular spots. The food is excellent, the portions are reasonable. Kevin and Eli provided us excellent service.

    I had the lobster pasta Alfredo, my wife had the sirloin steak both of which were very good. I personally like the pasta a bit more al dente but at least the pasta wasn’t mushy just very tender. The lobster was flavorful with a bit of crunch (in a good way).

    Restaurant has an appealing contemporary vibe. The food was very good too. Their weak spot is the eternally unattended hostess stand and wait staff. The restaurant was nearly empty but we were left standing at the hostess station for over 10 minutes while seeing staff scurrying around the back portion of the dining room. Once seated, we sat there ignored for another 10 plus minutes. Just as we stood up to leave, a server came over. She sincerely apologized for the unpleasant experience. We stayed at the restaurant and our server did an incredible job of giving us 5 star service She turned around what began as a miserable dining experience. My reason for a 3 star rating on service is that I know our experience was the exception due to our server’s efforts. You may expect less dependable service as the norm.

    We have eaten several times at the one in Murphy and loved it so we were excited about trying their new place in Franklin. We got there 30 minutes early and waited in our car until 11:05. They never turned their lights on or opened up. Very disappointing. We drove on to Harrah's and ate a great lunch at Selu.
