Highly recommend!

We started off with the Mini Donuts with dipping sauces, and they were a huge hit! Unfortunately, I was off my game and forgot to take pictures of some of the appetizers before they disappeared. We also ordered the Spinach Dip with chips, and a definite must have, the Deviled Eggs with Candy Bacon. Wow... those were sooo good! For the entrees, I went with the Eggs Benedict with home fries, and it was perfection. Others at the table ordered the Chicken Fingers and Fries, great comfort food with amazing flavor. The fries are the thin-cut style, which makes them extra good. The granddaughters split a hamburger and absolutely loved it. The service is always great here, but this visit had a special touch. The granddaughters wanted a carrot to feed to their stuffed bunny, and the waitress actually brought one out for them! Little things like that make a big impression. Overall, a great brunch, great service, and a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

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).

We always come to Saffire for a dozen Hickory Wood Fire Grilled Oysters, and we order one half with…read moretheir BBQ sauce and the other half with the chimichurri herbed butter. This visit they were the best we've ever had, not just perfectly cooked, but exceptional in size, freshness, and overall quality, with only a few shells. At $40, they're pretty expensive, and for us that makes them a special‑occasion treat Service from Chris was also a best‑ever experience. The restaurant was jammed, and he still handled every table with total precision, calm, attentive, and flawless even in a packed house. The soft live music added a relaxed, comfortable vibe to the evening. This visit turned out to be exceptional, and we'll be back on the next special occasion for another dozen hickory wood‑fire grilled oysters. See image. I normally avoid posting duplicate photos for restaurants, but there isn't a single picture on Yelp showing these grilled oysters -- so here it is.

Place is awesome!

I've had good experiences here before, but this visit was disappointing. I did enjoy the goat…read morecheese grits and my partner loved his chicken and waffles. I thought I was safe ordering the garden omelet, but it was not what I expected. The Swiss cheese was served as a large unmelted piece rather than melted or incorporated into the omelet, there was barely any spinach, and the avocado did not taste fresh. The vegetables also seemed to be placed on top rather than mixed into the omelet. I ended up not eating the omelet because it wasn't enjoyable. I brought my concerns to the staff's attention, but no solution was offered--no remake, replacement, or adjustment to the bill. I understand mistakes happen, but I was especially disappointed by how the situation was handled. Good service can often make up for a mistake, but in this case I left feeling unheard, frustrated, and hungry.

After a day of soccer, we found Scout's down the street from the fields. It's located in a cute…read moretown square area with a pond, swings, and grassy area for kids to play. We had a large group of 9 and they seated us right away. We chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the warm afternoon sun and breeze. It's a dog-friendly spot, and our kids loved petting the other guests' dogs (asking for permission of course). The inside is cute as well, but it would have been a little crowded with our larger party. But I could imagine hanging out with friends at the bar or on a date night with my wife. Scout's has a large and diverse menu, so everyone was able to order something to their taste. My son had a smash burger and appetizer of fries, cheese curds, poutine and bacon, my daughter had chicken tenders and Mac N Cheese, I had pizza, and my wife ordered taquitos. They also have a full bar and several craft beers to choose from. I had the Good People IPA, which is one of my faves. The service was excellent. Our server, Lauren, was friendly and attentive. Grabbed empty plates quickly, refilled waters & sodas without asking, and was ready to bring us the next round at just the right time.

Tomato's were tops. I didn't try with the pimento cheese, but the tomato alone was the perfect crisp exterior with a hot and fresh interior. I didn't try the cornbread but heard awesome. I got the avocado and corn Caesar salad with blackened salmon. The salmon was great! Could have used a little more spice for me to consider it "blackened" but still, cook was wonderful and it had good flavor. Didn't care much for the salad, and would definitely order something different next time. The lettuce was soggy from too much dressing, and as a Caesar salad connoisseur who orders every time possible at every restaurant possible... I'm not even sure that was Caesar dressing on it. Croutons were also soggy, and that's normally my favorite part of the salad, the crunch factor. Made me sad. My parents both loved their dishes (fish and chips / pear and blueberry salad). Again, I did love my experience, but the salad needs some serious work. I would never order again. Good news is they have many yummy looking dishes on the menu I'd be happy to try.

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. They are some of the lower priced items on the menu at $28 and $38 respectively. Steaks start at about $70 and go to $189 or so for the tomahawk. The place is cool and clean, part of the Harpeth Hotel. For a Thursday night, there were far more empty tables than occupied ones.

The crowd and waitlist speak for themselves. We called for Father's Day reservations right when they opened and actually had several time slots to choose from. The atmosphere is nice--dim lighting and an open kitchen. The staff helps each other out, so our glasses never ran dry and we didn't have to ask for anything. I got the Steak Maui--a marinated ribeye with pineapple teriyaki--and it came with mashed potatoes that were really good too. My daughter and I shared the house salad with their vinaigrette dressing, which we both liked. My husband and daughter both ordered the New York Strip and were happy with their meals as well.
