It's five floors and has an elevator... super kewl. I had some of the best shrimp and grits I've had in years at this spot. Salad was fresh and well presented. Service was great. If I come back here, I'm getting the shrimp and grits again!

My FAVORITE place to eat in Nashville. The breakfast here is absolutely phenomenal. The menu is pretty small though so I'd recommend to look up the menu before arrival. The bar is great as well they offer many kinds of cocktails and mocktails. It isn't a "typical diner." They have a 4th & 6th floor the offers views of Nashville and seems way fancier then a diner. The first floor is "diner-like" and is very good as well. They have all different kinds of vibes. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. They even gave us directions and recommendations on things to do in Nashville.

Stopped here for brunch. You walk in and a hostess will let you know what floor to head up to. From there you go to the elevator and arrive on your floor. Another hostess will greet you and you'll be seated. On the 6th floor you sit at the bar unless you have a large party. We had exceptional service. Got water and coffees right away. Our server had a great sense of humour and was nice to chat with. We all loved our food. And shared a few bites. The menu is not huge but has enough and it's all made well. It's very clean and well kept. The view from the windows is gorgeous. The coffee was also good. Belgian waffle was incredible. Biscuits and gravy were amazing. The biscuits were cooked perfectly. The breakfast scrambler was also on point. We even came back here a few days later on floor 4 for lunch and again the food was great!!! Some of the best service we had.

We ate an early dinner here. Drinks were superb. My wife and I dined on the 6th floor which had an amazing view. We both had sushi a la carte, plus my wife had oysters. All the food was excellent and well presented. I had a whiskey sour off the menu which was preposterously good. My wife had a Bloody Mary. The food was excellent as were the drinks. The ambience was superb, service excellent and in summary a fine early dinner. A+

We visited the diner in October. The weather was pleasant enough for the restaurant to have their window open to the outside. On the 5th floor, we could see and hear the activity on the street--including an endless parade of party busses and pedal trollies loaded with exuberant patrons. Our server was very attentive. The service made the restaurant seem more upscale than the typical tourist trap. The food was decent. Definitely what you'd expect from a diner.
