WELCOME, FRIENDS!

 

There has not been a high tide on Adams Street since 1902, when the mighty storm swept through the TD&W Handle Company like a giant bucket of sea water. Today, the building combines the charm of history with all the comfort and delight of modern accommodation. From spacious dining rooms to a breezy patio oasis and elegant upstairs bar, and of course, the best food the sea has to offer. Where the sunshine gladdens, the rain falls to bless, and there, beneath the blue sky, we dream of old friends and new adventures.

Press - Nashville

“Located at the Hammer Mill development in Germantown with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (and a breezy bar upstairs), the menu here changes, but an opulent seafood tower and oysters are always a good start.”

20 Great Spots for a Monday Meal Out in Nashville, Eater Nashville

“Ford Fry is taking his hit Atlanta seafood restaurant to Music City; while the second edition aims to capture the spirit of the original, it won't be an exact replica. Expect wood-grilled seafood, upgraded comfort food, and Southern ingredients. Downstairs, guests will find the adjoining craft cocktail lounge, Le Loup.”
