Located inside the Hilton hotel which is fantastic for late night food options,Great food kinda pricey but worth it. The big orange margarita is a shooter with big taste and a good price. I will return here.

We had the pleasure of eating here for breakfast for 2 mornings day, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. One day we got the avocado toast, which was great and came with an egg on top. The next day, Missus was hit pretty hard with a migraine and couldn’t make it downstairs, so Mister got takeout. The staff were concerned about her, asked if she was ok, made sure we had everything we needed, and sent her their best. Very kind. Got the smoked brisket hash, which was really tasty, and plentiful.

We had a delicious breakfast this morning for the same price that we could’ve had a Starbucks coffee next-door. If you like a traditional eggs, ham, toast, and home fries than the Tennessee breakfast is the one for you. The sourdough bread was delicious, the eggs were cooked to perfection, and the ham was a large slab of very delicious protein.

When I think of hotel restaurants, I usually think of a good atmosphere with subpar drinks. This is not your typical hotel restaurant. The food was amazing. The burger (even gluten free with no bun) was amazing and the fried chicken was crafted by someone who seriously loves food. On top of that, the drinks far surpassed the cocktail menu at any restaurant in town I’ve been to. Don’t hesitate. Good food, good drinks. Even had live music.

This place was cute, quick and relatively quiet for lunch hours on a Monday in a downtown area . Their lunch menu is a bit limited, but still had some good light/diet friendly options and they were easily able to make some substitutions for their salads. Worth checking out if you are staying in a nearby hotel.
