    So we are visiting from out of town over Thanksgiving. Booked and prepaid for Thanksgiving dinner reservations weeks ago. Staff was great, friendly and attentive. Place was not crowded but I felt like we were rushed from moment we sat down. Smallest salad ever. 2 small biscuits. Under cooked and cold carrots and Brussel Sprouts. Lukewarm potatoes and yams and turkey and prime rib. Cold gravy. Overall a bad experience and would not go back. Should have gone to Eddie V's.

    We went to TENN for Thanksgiving. (Thank you by the way for being open). The restaurant is smaller than I thought so it’s very easy to hear the conversations happening behind the bar and computer. Manager and employees having loud conversations back and forth, giving no consideration to us sitting near it. The music was incredibly loud. I was surprised no one there thought to turn it down just a bit. One server had on a dirt white shirt showing through his black shirt, saggy jeans, and dirty apron. We just laid $75 a head and their attire looks as if we were at subway. The smell in the restaurant was “off.” I can’t explain it, but off. Prime rib was very overcooked, but everything else taste really nice. Food came out in timely manner and our server was very very nice.

    Biscuits were delicious, especially the cinnamon sugar ones with chocolate gravy. Our server was great. Overall though, we didn't feel like the food was worth what we paid. $11 for 4 tiny halves of deviled eggs was very disappointing. For what we paid, there are much more inventive and exciting brunch places in Nashville.

    I was really excited about the Willy Wonka experience, but they ended up with a cease and desist letter. Apparently the day before and that pretty much closed all of that down. They did send us an email saying they were going to refund the ticket price which I appreciate. And Michael the magician was fun and attentive to the audience.  I am vegan and I didn’t have anything vegan on the menu. I did ask if they could come up with something which they did and I appreciated that.

    The food here was great, but the service not so much. I think they just threw our waiter in with no advance notice. I asked about our drink our and everyone else had gotten theirs. I saw the bartender pointing at the couple beside us, so apparently that got lost. Then they gave me the wrong drink.

    This place is awesome!! We stayed in the hotel for my sons birthday. We attended a preds game (the location is insane) it’s literally right around the corner from Bridgestone. I didn’t think too much about the brunch reservation, but I booked it anyway. I’m so glad we did. The service was excellent. Our server Neenee went and got marshmallows for our little boys hot chocolates from upstairs. Our food was off the charts. The fried green tomatoes were crispy and perfectly battered. The French toast wasn’t overly sweet and was dense and crisp not at all soggy. We split a club and it had fresh biter greens and crispy bacon. Everything we ate was excellent and perfectly prepared. To top off the meal they delivered a HOMEMADE cake (from scratch you can totally tell) to my son for his birthday. We were so surprised and thrilled to see it was filled with sprinkles! 10 out of 10! We had a blast and it was the perfect end to our weekend! Go!

    Me and my 2 guests were really excited to come to the Willy wonka pop up after seeing this on Instagram. In fact the Instagram was what made us book it. However, when we arrived the waiter seemed annoyed that we only ordered drinks instead of everything at once. The “fizzy lifting drink” was NOT what it was on Instagram. No popping bubble. Disappointing…and it also was disgusting. Like, I couldn’t even drink it. We had to flag the waiter down 3-4 times before we got water and had to ask every time for a refill. There was no “claw” machine like on Instagram. Listen, I work in a restaurant I get it but I’m huge in doing what you say you are going to do and this was not the case here. The saving grace was the magician but still not worth the $250 we dropped (including ticket price) I love a good pop up in Nashville but we left more disappointed that we choose this one than the others in nash.

    Service and ambiance were great. Guests loved the avocado toast meal, but the fried green tomatoes and potatoes were overcooked and flavorless. The fried green tomatoes were so thin and caked so much in cornmeal that they ended up being overcooked corn cakes. The jam and whipped feta were amazing, however. Not sure I would go back especially given prices and inconstancy with the food.

    We went to the Willy Wonky Pop-Up Bar Experience. Less than we expected. Food was definitely overpriced for what we got. The charcuterie ferris wheel for $38 contained about $5 worth of food. The drinks were not very good either. I had a "Violet, You're Turning Violet" cocktail for $17, and it just wasn't very good. We paid $120 for four people for the "experience" - a guy dressed like Willy Wonka basically doing card tricks. And then our bill for two appetizers and two drinks was $100 plus a $20 tip... so for a grand total of $240, I would say that I don't recommend.

    We went for the pop up Wonka Bar. The special drinks were god awful (I sent two back) the Charcuterie Ferris Wheel was cute but the actual contents were cheap and sparse. The magician they had was cool but in actuality, his tricks were super basic -ones that I learned in grade school. The ambiance was great though, as was the girl singing and playing jazz music in the corner. Nothing anywhere online stated they weren't serving their actual menu, so we had the charcuterie and a few drinks during the "show" and then I came home and made myself dinner at 10:30 pm. The "show" was pretty much just the magician making jokes while doing basic magic and then going table to table doing more basic tricks. Just not that good.

    The food was good but not great. The service was awful, but to be fair they did compensate us. Our server just kept making mistakes. At one point they didn't know what a martini was and had to get help. Then they sent out the wrong starter. Finally, one of the mains was missing, as it had apparently not been keyed into the system.

    Tenn seemed like it would be a very good spot for breakfast or brunch….but for dinner, at those prices, just didn’t seem worth it. The food was prepared very nice and was tasty, but the dishes/selections were all one note. The service was very good ! Unfortunately, the ambiance was not conducive for a fine dining restaurant.

    Our visit was less than par in comparison to other visits at Tenn. The menu had changed so that was disappointing as they removed the breakfast burrito that should remain as a staple item. The iced coffee did not track The server was not attentive, drinks were left empty.
