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.

I got the shrimp scampi with house fettuccini. The fettuccini was a little too thick and just a tad under done. Wasn't coated in the sauce as well.

The burrata with the peach jelly was probably my favorite! Great balance with the crostini. Margarita flatbread was good too but nothing special. Worth a visit!

Service was great and friendly. I did like that that had a person playing wind instruments as we ate.

When in downtown Franklin, we decided to try this quaint family-owned Italian restaurant on a…read moreFriday evening. When we agreed upon this place, we looked online to see that they opened at 4:30. We drove straight there and arrived at 4:45. There was free street parking available nearby. When looking online, we noticed they accepted reservations, but we thought since we were eating early that we would be fine-- we were mistaken. The exterior is bold and cutely decorated with some painted art, bright red bricks, and festoon lighting under the awning. Upon entry, the hostess stared our party of two down and did not say a word. Excited to try a new place, I happily greeted her "Hello! Just a table for two, please." She paused, looked me up and down, and replied "no reservation?" with a smug attitude. I shyly replied with "No." My friend added that we didn't know we needed one but came here just thinking we'd be okay since we were before the dinner rush and they just opened. She stared at us blankly and replied "Well, I am pretty booked tonight. We don't have extra tables." At first I thought she was maybe joking. When we looked around there were people sat at two tables, a musician was sitting in the corner on his phone, and the servers were up near the kitchen-- all while the rest of the dining room was dead empty. I understand having tables already booked, but the interaction just seemed odd. After thumping around on her tablet, "I guess I can seat you at my 6:00 table", she mumbled to herself. We were very friendly; however, it just felt the attitude was unnecessary when that would still give us an hour and fifteen minutes to order, eat, and our table to be flipped. Once we were seated, we were greeted friendly by our waiter who gave us waters and menus right off the bat. The atmosphere was nothing special and maybe a little dated, but it was clean and quaint. It reminded me of another local Italian restaurant that was as near my childhood home that we used to eat at a lot. We ordered a cheese bread and marinara sauce for the table and then were ready to place entrees. The cheese bread was very warm, melty, and delicious. The marinara had a great flavor and the size was nice for our party of two. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and was SHOCKED by how large the portions were as soon as I saw the dish. The noodles were cooked al dente with a nice cheese sauce and large breaded chicken breast. The food all had a good flavor and nice portions. Service and the food were also very quick. We were in and out in 35 minutes, perfect for our evening full of plans. Our entire experience was good with delicious dinner, large portions, and a friendly server. However, the atmosphere was nothing special and the front hostess left an odd impression. I would recommend this place if you're wanting some good Italian food in Franklin-- Just make sure you have a reservation prior.

Even though they were busy, the two sweet hostesses managed to get us seated right away at the bar. The bartenders were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience even better. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad, and my husband got the dry-aged ribeye. Everything was AMAZING. The steak was cooked perfectly, and even the Caesar salad was one of those dishes that was simple but just really, really good. We finished with the crème brûlée for dessert, which was also wonderful. Such a great experience from start to finish, especially considering we walked in without planning ahead. Great food, great service, and such a nice atmosphere. We would 100% come back!

As time went on we noticed it started taking longer to get his attention. Not once were we asked if we wanted another drink and we sat at the bar for over 2 hours. We did eat dinner which was pretty good. I ordered the NY strip with truffle butter and I didn't think it was the best steak I've ever had but it was pretty good. I would order again. My mom ordered the steak frites. It was good, but she didn't like the peppercorn sauce. I think if that's your thing it would be good but it just wasn't her taste preference. We also got a side of broccoli gratin. Very good. Cheese and broccoli... what's not to like? Overall I would say I had a decent experience. I'd like to go again and maybe try something else and sit at a table.

We split the wedge salad which was good but dressing was on the rather sweet side. The potato was okay, not really special. The best part was the steak. Made perfectly and good but will say it was pretty fatty so a few areas we couldn't eat. Also the macaroni and cheese is usually one of my fave but this time lacked flavor and was dry. All in all, it was okay and not our norm experience with their food.
