The duck fat fries are really addictive and truffle aioli pairs well with them. Also had a chance to try their ranch and that was tasty and did leave that sour taste like store bought ranch. Service Exceptional! Sat at the bar and was immediately greeted. Had the time to relax for a bit and review the menu with no rush to order. Able to accommodate food allergies and had the food brought out quickly. Amibiance Bright, inviting and a nice view of the lake. PLENTY of seating all around. The public house is behind the pizza spot so keep that in mind when heading in. It's nice to be able to look out at the lake and the green area before getting to the restaurant. Would I go back? Absolutely! Want to try many other items on the menu like the lemon pepper calamari, shishito peppers, and the smoked sausage.

A few updates - always start dinner with bacon and eggs. Well, it's referred to as "deviled eggs &…read moresugar bacon" on the menu. Perfectly sharable. Comes with jalapeno hot sauce - don't be shy, it's more slightly tangy than spicy and it perfects the delicious deviled eggs. Appreciate that they're generous with the glazed bacon. Wife loves the little gem salad. It's a bit light for dinner; she cleans her plate. Special of fish and chips - sounded wonderful, but they were out of the fish shortly after 5:30pm - what? It must have been a carry over from the previous evening is all I can imagine. Anyway, if it's on the daily specials, order as soon as you see it! Loud, bustling, it's a popular place, be sure to reserve ahead (of sit at the beautiful bar, that works for a lot of folks as well).

Came here on a sweltering day for lunch with a coworker & client, who we'll call Dennis because…read morethat was his name. Culamar is drenched in natural light and decorated simply - nothing too loud or busy about the place, thus perfect for a working lunch. The menu was odd and we all struggled to understand the categories it was broken up into. Each item read as a series of arbitrarily listed ingredients. Our (half asleep, disinterested) waitress informed us the dishes were, in majority, "tapas style", a term I find exhaustingly passé. I began to dream of restaurants down the road we could have selected, but we were here and we must stay the course! I had to keep it together for Dennis. We ordered 6 dishes for the three of us to share, and you know what? They were all excellent. Really such outstanding bites. I was stunned by how much I enjoyed the beef carpaccio, the calamari was the best I've ever had (amazing tempura fry!), the Gnuddi (basically a massive gnocchi) in browned butter and crisp sage was a pillowy delight. In spite of my initial concerns -- the hiccups of a confusing menu and our less-than-energetic waitress -- we all left with pleased palates.

We were hoping to sit on the rooftop, but unfortunately it was raining, so we ate inside. The…read morerestaurant wasn't necessarily that busy, but because the space is really tight, it definitely felt busy and a little cramped. Service was also a bit slow. The food itself was absolutely delicious. The bread was AMAZING and honestly one of the highlights. We also ordered the oysters, beef carpaccio, and duck, and everything tasted incredible. My biggest complaint is the price for the portion sizes. I really don't mind spending money on a nice dinner, but every dish we ordered was gone in what felt like less than a minute. Everything tasted amazing, but for the amount of food you actually get, I just couldn't justify the prices. We actually left and ended up going to another restaurant afterward because we were still hungry, which was pretty disappointing considering how much we had just spent. Overall, the food was delicious, but between the extremely small portions, high prices, tight space, and slower service, it just wasn't worth it for us. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't go back.

We enjoyed another amazing meal at 1799 this week. As always, it was a wonderful experience--but…read morelately it feels like the restaurant has been elevated even further. I'm guessing that's due in part to Maverick, the General Manager, who seems genuinely committed to excellence. We actually came back this week because we realized we'd enjoyed our meal so much during our last visit that we forgot to take photos for our review. Believe it or not, we nearly forgot again! I rarely eat bread, but I always make an exception for the Spent Grain Loaf. Paired with the unbelievably fresh butter and flaky sea salt, it's one of my favorite things on the menu. My husband ordered the Prawn Cocktail. I'm allergic to shrimp, so I couldn't try it myself, but he said it was outstanding. I usually order the Koji Ribeye, but this time my husband claimed it first, so I ventured out and ordered the Alaskan Halibut with hash brown crust, orange vinaigrette, and watercress. It was absolutely delicious. My favorite side remains the Roasted Carrots with Leiper's Fork honey and tarragon--they're incredible. We finished with the Carrot Cake. It's less sweet than the version served at another well-known Franklin restaurant, which I actually prefer. The flavors are more nuanced, and the crunchy shredded carrot on top adds the perfect texture. The food was, as always, exceptional. We were fortunate to have Jeff Paul as our server again. He's knowledgeable, attentive, and strikes that perfect balance of being available without ever being intrusive. That said, we've honestly never had anything but excellent service at 1799. Maverick stopped by our table and was warm, engaging, and genuinely interested in making sure every guest had a memorable experience. It's clear he takes great pride in the restaurant, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. 1799 continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Franklin, and we can't wait for our next visit. -Wendy & Ben Ellis

Does it warrant $215 for two entrees, a couple of drinks, and 1 side, probably not. Cedar plank salmon and the halibut were our choices.

The place is cool and clean, part of the Harpeth Hotel. For a Thursday night, there were far more empty tables than occupied ones.

My wife had the Italian Mojito which she said was good. We had the special appetizer Bang Bang Shrimp which was excellent the shrimp were cooked perfectly. For the mains they fell down a little bit. I had the chicken parm. The chicken was cooked proper but the downside was that the noodles were not drained well as you can see in the picture. My wife had the NY strip with broccolini and crispy Brussels sprouts. She ordered the steak medium rare and it was definitely medium and she said the broccolini was a bit tasteless but the Brussels were amazing. All that said the manager came by and offered to have them remake the steak but we were basically done but the thought was appreciated. Given the error they did discount the steak so they are customer centric. We will try again.

This Neighbors sits in the large mixed use development in the Aspen Grove/McEwen area of…read moreFranklin/Cool Springs and is a solid addition to the area and to the Neighbors brand! They occupy a great corner in the complex, which is a stellar location and allows for a good sized patio in addition to the dining room and bar area. That patio also makes bringing the pups a lot easier. As with all Neighbors, they are all about sports and with walls and walls of TV's, you cannot miss the game or event you are after! Food and drink here are solid. If you have never been to Neighbors, it is true sports bar food with wings, nachos, burgers, sandwiches, pretzel bites, etc...and a few house specialties, but mostly your standard stuff. And that is not a bad thing, while simple, they do it well and I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Service is friendly and good, but efficient is questionable as they recently introduced a flag based system where you put your number card on your stand and when your server notices it, they come your way. My only issue is this takes the natural check-in's of service away and while the idea is good in theory, execution is still a bit clunky as we had to seek out our server twice after having our card displayed for several minutes. Overall, big fan of the Neighbors brand and really enjoy this location in Frankin!

Highly recommend The Rutledge for a great night out!

I was talking up this drink I originally had there, but also had at the sister location in DT Nashville that they called to get the recipe and surprised me at the table with after raving about it (the international) the waitress proceeded to argue that I had the name wrong it was a pretty gross experience. Do not look at any online menus wait until you get to the restaurant. We had a colleague who is celiac we asked about a separate menu (you would have thought I asked if they did brain surgery) because there are no markers on the regular menu, the waitress proceeds to lecture the person on what they should order at restaurants... She was a different individual interacting with the mens end of the table than she was with the lady's side. We opted to share several things. Thankfully the food is still on point. And it is still beautiful. The drinks we ordered were tasty. That is why this review got a 3 and not a 2.
