Okay, my Nashville wedding hasn't happened yet, but the stress of planning it has already set in. Thank goodness for Simply Stunning Events owner, Kristin Carolan! Since I live 1300 miles away, she has been such a calming force as I plan from a distance. She has the inside track on venues, vendors and other information that I couldn't possibly gain from a distance. Another great thing about Kristin is that she is making sure that we stay within our budget. Knowing that I can still have a great event for an affordable price, Kristin is a great resource and I am enjoying every minute of working with her.

My earliest memories of going to the OSF are people watching as we sat on the benches outside waiting to be seated, and ordering Shirley Temples with my friends. Now it is my favorite place to go for quick, reasonably-priced, good food. Let me be clear: it is not fine dining, but you get a great deal for what you pay and very friendly service. Most meals come with a salad to start, then spumoni ice cream after your main course...yummy! It is a great place for large groups, and the warm colors inside don't make it feel as large a space as it really is. The location makes it central to a night out in Nashville. I love this place!

I wanted to give one star, but to be honest the food is good. I' m just not convinced it is worth the poor treatment in order to be seated and order the various tapas-style selections.
This restaurant will take your call-ahead seating request, so you are already on the list once you arrive. On a Friday night, I called ahead and was told there was a 20-30 minute wait. As my party of three arrived 35 minutes later, we were informed that it was okay that we were a little late as they hadn't gotten to our name on the list yet. So we stood, and waited. And waited. And waited...for another 1.5 hours. At various intervals, we'd ask when we could expect to be seated, and they would say, "oh another 25 minutes or so." As we waited, we watched every party that came in after us get seated, one which was treated to wine with the owner. We weren't even asked to order a drink (because we were standing in the middle of the restaurant) until 20 minutes before we finally got seated. Since it was a friend's birthday, we held our patience for the food we expected to be good. But in the future, I will not repeat this two-hour waiting game. Use caution when asking for an estimated wait time at this restaurant!

I went to Judy a couple years ago for alterations to a bridesmaid dress. She was able to turn the dress around very quickly and was so personable through the whole process. I've recommended her to several friends and look forward to working with her in future.

I visited Tu Tu Tango with friends while visiting Orlando, and we were so thrilled with the colorful, lively atmosphere and the variety of food and the drinks! Each of us has a different taste in food, so the tapas-style servings were perfect to suit each of us.

I've watched this place grow over the years, and still count on it for high-quality, well-presented light fare at a reasonable price.

This is the place for no-fuss bar-b-que. Great prices, smoky flavor, and yummy cornbread. Warning: you will smell like bar-b-que after sitting in the dining room for a while.

There is a drink for every beer lover at the flying saucer. Live music, pool tables, lounge areas and pub food choices also satisfy the most picky bar goer. And ample parking means no excuses! Just go.

Dining at Monell's is a fun experience. You truly get to know your neighbor, since the family-style dining constitutes large tables that host multiple parties and a "pass the gravy" atmosphere. If you aren't a sociable person mindful of your please and thank-yous, come visit this restaurant with a friend who is and enjoy true Southern food and hospitality.
