Food scene
Family style dining. Make new friends while eating. 10 ppl sit at a table and you pass the food around. The servers keep bringing food to your table until you're stuffed. Very close to the house and they do brunch on the weekends. Inexpensive also , which is getting hard to find in Music City . Close to the house
