Spent a few days in Nashville and found this gem! When I say over the top it is over the top in the best way possible. Our server, Corey, was attentive to every detail. There was one issue that was quickly resolved and the service recovery was amazing! The food quality, service, ambiance and overall experience was exceptional! The finale was the 12 layer chocolate cake! Don’t go to Nashville without a visit to Harper’s!
