    Dirty martini during happy hour. It was undrinkable
    Sheena T.

    I really hate to write this review, but unfortunately I don't have a good experience to share and want to prevent others suffering the same fate. I was looking for a happy hour location with coworkers and was drawn to Ludlow & Prime based on their menu and the fact that they have martinis on happy hour. It was a big mistake. We showed up and the bar area was busy and they seemed understaffed. Understanding the staffing shortages we patiently waited and were seated in the dining room. Service was spotty but we browsed the menu and ordered drinks and appetizers. When my dirty martini showed up in a wine glass and was the color of watered down puke I knew I was in trouble. I literally gagged when I took a drink it was that vile. I had to add a lot of water to it to make it drinkable. Another person had an Old Fashioned that was also subpar and a huge let down. The food was not much better. The deviled eggs were bland and the queso tasted like the canned cheese you get at a sporting event in a plastic tray. The cheese board was also boring and nothing special, but the best item we tried (that's not saying much). We would have gone somewhere else but didn't want to drive so we reluctantly ordered one more round of drinks. I had a glass of wine that I knew and it tasted like it had been open for at least 3 days and was stale. The server threw down another drink on the table in a rush, barely pausing to issue a quick apology. Overall this was a huge waste of a good happy hour that I won't soon live down from my peers.

    If your looking for a larger private dining experience, ludlow and prime is the place to go! Rachel was so helpful with our organization of our birthday dinner! The service was great even for a large party! Food was great. A delightful night

    This place is a dumpster fire, except a dumpster fire would get more attention than my table. The one star is only because the bar made a great cocktail. I'd love to review the food, but I'm an hour into being here and the bread rolls aren't even out yet. We were a party of two celebrating our anniversary, thought this would be a lovely place to go. Nope! If you're not a party of 5+ you're getting neglected. Quotes of the evening..."Has anyone talked to that table (my table)?" Other server, "No I haven't talked to anyone." ...Come talk to me! "If you need me to throw on an apron and help y'all I can." - The table next to ours experiencing the same thing with a different server.

    I would not recommend if you want it to be romantic dinner . You will be sitting on hard old school Chairs and some chairs that are fancier than others ( I wish I took photos because I wanted to switch my chair). I don't understand either . I showed up at 8:30 and we sat at a small table which was wobbly. We ordered a dozen of oysters (very good and fresh ) . Gumbo soup is on the watery side ( it's ok) My scallops was good and boyfriend got steak which was good also . We spent over 400 on our tab. This is more like a bar /club vibe trying to be a high end restaurant. Service was amazing though !!!

    Happy Hour!

    Met up with a friend for happy hour and an early dinner. Only 1 side of the restaurant was open (the bar side). The service was a little slower than I expected, but I gave the server the benefit of doubt. I know places are going through understaffing. I love eating lobster rolls in Boston, so I thought I'd try one here. When I got the food, my Lobster Roll wasn't as warm as I thought it'd be. I also wish the roll was buttered and fried.

    Food was good. I had the salmon - it was tender and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good. Service was poor. Our server was assigned to 2 tables with 10+ people. He did his best to accommodate everyone but it was way too much for him.

For the Kra Prao Moo Kai Doo, the Minced pork was very moist with plenty of flavor. There was a ton of rice served with it lol.

The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the tofu was browned to perfection. The grilled broccoli and cauliflower were snappy and contrasted well with the rest of the ingredients. The dish had a spicy yet tolerable kick to it, but I have a very high threshold for spice and heat (I added chili oil to take it up a notch!). Also, the portion size is BIG. I was very hungry so I had no issues finishing most of it, but it could easily be shared between two adults, especially if you order an appetizer or side. I loved the interior decor, which was simple yet eye catching. The mural encompassing the entire space in particular looked really cool. The place was packed, but the friendly staff were hustling to keep the line moving.

    Found an absolute hidden gem in Franklin tonight!…read more Mi Kitchen delivered from start to finish. The atmosphere immediately caught our attention--creative, intimate, colorful, and just a really cool vibe. Then the food came out and somehow managed to match the setting. We tried the beef tacos, soy garlic wings, glass noodles, and steak, and everything was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The steak was cooked perfectly, the wings were crispy and loaded with flavor, and those beef tacos definitely deserve another visit of their own. ‍ What really completed the experience was the service. Gene was awesome--friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout dinner. Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service, and reasonable prices for the quality. It's always a win when you stumble across a place you weren't expecting and leave already thinking about what you're ordering next time. Mi Kitchen is officially on the repeat list. Five stars easily.

From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. The first thing that stood out was their small plate concept, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of committing to just one entrée, and this concept is something I wish more restaurants would adopt. We ended up trying almost half the menu and loved nearly every dish. A huge shout-out to our server, Nestor. He welcomed us warmly, was cheerful throughout the evening, and his recommendations were spot on. He truly made the dinner even more enjoyable. We started with a couple of mocktails, and the Purple Haze was refreshing and delicious. Here are some of our favorites: MI Cucumber - Smashed cucumber with soy dressing, crunchy chili oil, and cilantro. Simple, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Plantain - Fried plantains topped with sriracha goat cheese, cilantro, and crunchy gremolata. The sriracha goat cheese paired perfectly with the sweet plantains. K-Pop Chicken - Korean sweet and spicy popcorn chicken with great flavor and a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Dumplings - Homemade steamed dumplings with edamame, truffle, yuzu ponzu, and garlic confit. I really enjoyed the truffle flavor, though it may not be for everyone. Kimchi Bacon Risotto - Caramelized kimchi, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, and shrimp. One of the best dishes of the night--perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. Crispy Spicy Tuna - Spicy mayo tuna served over crispy rice. This was one of the highlights of the meal. The crispy rice was absolutely perfect. Cauliflower Taco - Crispy cauliflower with guacamole, creamy miso, and tsiran spice. The filling was flavorful, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. Lamb Chops - This was the only dish that felt average. The lamb was cooked well, but it was missing a bit of flavor. A little more seasoning, especially some salt, would have really elevated the dish. To finish the meal, we had the Banana Pudding with Vanilla Gelato, which was a delicious and satisfying way to end dinner. Overall, MI Kitchen completely exceeded our expectations. Amazing food, a fun small-plate concept, and outstanding service from Nestor made this a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!

My parents are visiting America for the very first time -- literally their first time outside China -- and I wanted to take them somewhere that felt truly local, not a chain restaurant or tourist spot. Get Your Grub On was exactly that kind of place. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can immediately feel that this is real homemade cooking -- not "corporate restaurant food." Watching him work in the kitchen and smelling the food coming out fresh honestly made the whole place feel like a true American Southern "farmhouse/local comfort food" experience. We ordered the fried chicken, catfish trio, and chicken pasta. The fried chicken was AMAZING: * perfectly crispy outside * juicy inside * smelled incredible the moment it came out But the real surprise was the catfish. It was unbelievably tender -- literally melt-in-your-mouth soft while still fresh and flavorful. Easily some of the best catfish I've ever had. Portion sizes were HUGE too. Three people ate for around $70 and we were completely full. Yes, the seasoning is definitely Southern-style and a bit salty for some Asian tastes, but even my parents -- who are completely Chinese and very familiar with authentic Chinese cuisine -- still genuinely enjoyed the food and kept talking about how good and unique the experience was. That says a lot. This place feels like the kind of hidden local restaurant that makes traveling meaningful. Not fancy. Not trendy. Just real people making real food with heart. Highly recommended if you want authentic local Southern comfort food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.

I visited with my parents during their last trip to town since the restaurant happened to be nearby. Upon walking in, the decor felt a little confusing. The menu clearly presents the restaurant as a grill, but the interior still seemed heavily influenced by what may have previously been an Asian restaurant space. The renovation didn't feel entirely cohesive, which made the atmosphere a bit disjointed. That said, the staff was very friendly, and we were seated quickly. Throughout the meal, however, there seemed to be an underlying sense of stress among the staff that was noticeable despite their efforts to remain professional and attentive. It created a slightly uncomfortable atmosphere at times. For dinner, we ordered the filet with broccoli and French fries, while another guest ordered a salad. Unfortunately, the salad had to be sent back because it arrived with blue cheese despite a requested omission due to an allergy. Thankfully, the issue was corrected. The filet itself was cooked to the requested temperature, and overall the food was fine, but nothing particularly stood out as memorable. Everything was acceptable, though not especially remarkable. Overall, Firebird Grill may work well for larger groups or families looking for a convenient, casual meal, but with so many standout restaurants in Nashville, it's probably not a place I'd personally revisit.
