The atmosphere is so charming. It’s tight seating, but that makes it cozy. It’s charming and sweet. The cuisine is amazing. I highly recommend the Duck, as that was my personal favorite. The crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve had in Nashville. The scallops were also really delightful. Over all 10/10 exceeded any expectations I may have had.

It’s probably the best French food I’ve had since Quebec.

Dining with the de la Vegas de la Vega
The food was delicious, we were pleasantly surprised that the price is affordable period it’s a small place and very popular so it was loud that we were still able to hold a conversation and had a great date night. We will be going back. Would recommend

Another French gem of a find. No pretense, just solid experience, ambiance and authentic flavors. A meal for every pocketbook. Wonderfully delicious, and charming hosts. It all has that je ne sais quoi and joie de vivre that can be sadly so-missing in the American dining experience. A restaurant worth the trip should you enjoy authentic French cuisine and you find yourself in the Nashville area.

I went here for a date night and the place was amazing. It is a smaller place and no reservation so always expect a wait but it is totally worth it.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time and it did not disappoint. Friendly service, a cozy comfortable space, excellent food. The space is small and convivial. Truly has the feel of a French bistro. I think some people have the impression this is a fine dining restaurant. It’s not. It is simple French comfort food, but delicious. I had the duck confit and could not be happier. I also had the escargot, a rare treat and this was prepared perfectly. They have a good selection of wines as well. I enjoyed the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. I can’t wait for a return visit.

Really phenomenal experience! Beautifully decorated inside, like you’ve stepped into a little cafe in France, inconspicuous from outside. Good service with a wonderfully crafted menu perfectly executed, classic presentation. We had the steak tartare, escargot, and lobster bisque to start – all excellent. Skin on trout with a beautiful bechamel accompanied by asparagus and rice, devine. Standard creme brulee, great macaroon flight, craft cocktails, and an excellent wine selection. Absolutely recommend!
