    We were in town to visit our son and his lovely girlfriend for the Easter holiday weekend. Our plan was a fun, little bit more unusual place for an after church brunch. The Pinewood Social really delivered. We were early for our reservation, but were welcomed in right away. Once at our table, the service was outstanding. The waitress who took care of us was kind, attentive, and friendly. All of our entrees were scrumptious. Two of us ordered specialty coffee drinks, and we both thoroughly enjoyed those. We had other plans for later in the day, otherwise, we would have stayed longer, and checked out all this fun place has to offer. We even got to have pictures with the Easter Bunny! The next time we’re in Nashville, we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Restaurant was very accommodating for our last minute large group (17). Wish we could have been set up out on terrace bc the dining section where we sat was a little stale but Whitney was a great server - very patient with us. Overall we had a nice experience and the food was truly delightful.
