    This is a premier restaurant in Nashville. Going out to dinner should be an "experience" and Urban Grub certainly delivers. The staff is highly attentive and cordial. The menu not only offers outstanding choices that can satisfy any palate but are prepared in a delicious manner. Finally, the dining experience is terrific. I can think of no better dining experience than eating at the open air bar at Urban Grub on a warm night. As a practical matter, valet parking is a real plus. This is a must for exceptional dining.

    I visited with two out-of-town guests, hoping to share an enjoyable meal with them. They were thrilled with the delicious food that was southern but not too southern. I hadn’t been to the farmhouse in quite a while and I’ll make sure I put on my regular rotation. Service is great and we had a wonderful time.
