Amazing!!! The entire experience was unforgettable. We went and had the Seven Course Tasting and I was blown away. Each dish was distinct and different yet they all fit together seamlessly. The Chefs were also amazing. Specifically, we got to watch Chef Arynne, Chef Eric, and Chef Jake work the entire evening and it was magical. The level of precision, passion, and energy was insane. All three of them were so focused on each dish and ensuring that they were exactly what they needed to be. Each dish was explained in detail and showed the level of expertise each Chef had. The service was also amazing. Our server Addison was great the entire evening. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would totally go back!

This place came highly recommended and did not disappoint. My wife made a reservation and called back to see if we could switch from inside dining to sitting chef side. Spoke to the owner and said the option is a must and will make it happen.

Wow. What an amazing gastronomical experience. My mother, husband, cousin and I came here for my birthday this evening. We ordered the 7 course tasting menu and I was blown away. Chef Jake and his crew put together some of the most flavorful combinations I’ve ever had. My two favorites were the tomato and burrata with little balsamic bubble bursts (probably not the technical term) and the trout almondine – with some amazing Brie butter compote that melted in my mouth and I would pay a hired hit man to find more for me. My Mom, cousin and I fought over the creme brûlée-because we got one to share under the pretense we were “too full”. My husband gave me one noodle of his beef stroganoff before devouring the whole plate- but it tasted heavenly. We are from California but I would come back just to eat here again. And make sure to order the Kick Start Your Heart as a cocktail or two…or three of them. Now I have to waddle to the airport. And my pics are of the shrimp boil and Tuna taco- also both amazing- check out the size of that shrimp!

Attended an event where Chef Jake provided a food tasting. After that food tasting, had to visit the Chef and I. The caramelized cauliflower and goat cheese is a must have. Did I mention that they smoke their own bacon? Do not believe the past reviews. Chef Jake is determined to memorialize your food experience.

Always an amazing experience. Sitting at the chef’s counter is the way to go. Chef’s are fun and will put on a show. Food is amazing. Service is top notch. One of Nashville’s best spots.

I cannot properly describe the deliciousness that was this experience. I personally love a smaller environment with limited seating. This garage turned incredible food experience down plays maybe ones expectations. Not mine though. Watching the chefs prep and prepare my meal just built up the anticipation I had. My tastebuds were exploding. My friend and I had split the duck and waffles as well as the braised pork belly banh mi and I mean, bring more people with you so you can taste everything!! If we were there for dinner I would have done the chefs tasting menu just to taste as many creations as I could. If you can’t tell, I loved the place. In the great words of Ben Stiller on Starsky & Hutch, “Do it”.

Amazing experience. Super friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and great food. We had some really tasty appetizers and then a couple of our group did the chef’s tasting which did not disappoint. It had quail, cheeses, ahi tuna, lobster, and so much more. Other people in the group got the steak and salt pork, which they both really liked. Drinks and wine were also both really great. I highly recommend!
