I can't say enough amazing things about this place. They went above and beyond for us.From the welcome area, to our FANTASTIC server to the kitchen staff this place was to die for.The steak melted in your mouth like butter and yummy flavor. The portion sizes were unbelievable!Highly recommend and if we're back in Nashville we will definitely go again.

Expensive to have bad food, bad service and feels like a P.F. Chang’s with the atmosphere. Paid $220 for steaks and two drinks for the worst cooked steak of my life. Stay away.

We had a beautiful Birthday brunch celebration for my dear friend. It was awesome. We set outside and was able to enjoy the hype and good vibes of down town Nashville. The party buses were a big hit. I think we danced and screamed every time a party bus came by. It was fun. The service was amazing..I forgot our servers name but she was a beautiful African American Sunshine and she treated us so wonderful. The Southern Oysters were amazing. The Espresso Martinis were amazing all the food was yummy. We will be back for sure.Parking: It's a parking garage next to the restaurant. They will comp the ticket but it didn't work for me for some reason. I ended up paying $30 for parking.

We arrived for lunch and we’re asked to wait for 10 minutes before being seated. About 80-85% of the tables and booths were empty. It felt like they had no desire to serve customers. When we were seated the waitress was incredibly abbreviated and rushed everything. We made mistakes in our order because of being rushed. Once the food came we didn’t see the waitress again until we were done eating. It would have been nice to ask for a bit of ketchup or another drink sometime between ordering and finishing but it wasn’t even our server who brought the food so we couldn’t. Not to mention that the Steak and Oyster only has one mediocre and undersized steak option in the lunch menu. Maybe they have more for dinner. Who knows? This place should take the word “Steak” out of its name. Maybe even the word “Southern” as well because this was the opposite of Southern Hospitality. The worst dining experience I’ve had in a while. Would not recommend unless you’re looking to be made to feel like you’re unwanted and a burden while eating mehh steak. Maybe Nesha our server was having a bad day. I don’t know. But this was our honest experience, so there it is, for what it’s worth.

Spectacular disappointment. My husband ordered a NY Strip medium. His first cut in, it was obvious that it was cooked cold. The center was cold and gelatinous. Sent back to kitchen. Instead of preparing a new steak properly, they cooked the SAME EXACT steak to a point of well done and returned to our table. Beyond unacceptable and frankly gross. Had them remove steak from table and our bill and left.

Went in for HH. Only oysters on the menu for HH. Beer is limited and they didn't even have PBR though it's the first listed beer on HH menu. The ambiance was not great for a HH. When we asked about HH, they couldn't even tell us what was on it. They have us 3 different oyster types and then said "oh you want the HH oysters", which was a different type of oyster they serve.Staff was all around us eating and talking, but no conversation with us. It was like we were ghosts. We sat at the bar so it wasn't like they had to walk to us. I didn't know why they advertise a HH from 3-5 as it's really a time for their staff to prep for dinner and eat themselves.I would not recommend this place.

Food was excellent. Service was awful. I only interacted with 2 people, our server and the bartender. Both were extremely rude. My drink and water were often left empty and when I asked for a refill as they were taking entree orders, I was sharply and loudly rebuked for my lack of etiquette "we're taking entre orders, sir!" (as I sat there with my empty beer and water). Later when once again I sat with empty glasses, I went to the bar and tried to order there: "talk to your server, sir"... me: "I understand but I'm thirsty and..." interrupting "TALK TO YOUR SERVER SIR!". Yeah naw... y'all can keep it.

Stopped in for a late dinner - great, friendly service and quite good food!Meatloaf & Grits - delicious flavour for both and REALLY rich. If you are looking for a healthy, lo-cal meal, don’t order this. :)Oysters - nicely prepared and tasty.Atmosphere - we sat at the bar and it was a weird hushed vibe - I know there was music playing in the rest of the place but you can’t hear it at the bar. A little bit odd.I recommend checking this place out.
