This is a great place in Nashville Indiana right in the heart of all the action. Gena was our server & did a great job explaining the menu & was very attentive. We had The Scrap Pile & The Coal Miner’s Daughter. Bacon Gravy is their thing here & very flavorful. The Bloody Mary was tip top & The Cherry Cordial was a great hot Sunday cocktail. A great find when getting out of the inner city.

Loved our girls brunch at Birds Nest! Such a cute and quaint location! It’s small so I would recommend making reservations. We were a party of 6 and was the largest group they could accommodate. Drinks and food were so good! Loved the hot cider, Bloody Mary and the coconut rum cappuccino. Food was excellent, loved the sweet potato Belgium waffle! Service was great even though they were really busy. Would highly recommend for a great brunch spot!

Unfortunately not worth the hype at all. There’s an hour long wait if you don’t make reservations - both the front desk people in person and in the phone are super cold. No greetings, they just ask if you have a reservation and if you don’t they say sorry and offer no other information. Getting any details is like pulling teeth I t’s almost like they don’t want you there! Breakfast burrito was average. Loved the pumpkin spice waffle stack, but food wasn’t really hot anymore once it was served.

We visited after peak autumn season on a Monday morning so we had no problem getting a table. All the same it was busy, always a good portent and the food didn't disappoint. Hot dark chocolate served tall and decadent, scrumptious biscuits topped with bacon gravy...all brought out with a smile. I recommend.

This place is worth the wait!! Delicious and specialty items that taste amazing 😍!! Highly recommend!! Haven't had anything I didn't like yet!! The scrap pile is 10/10. The French toast is 8/10. Both were so good! They were extremely busy, but we went and shopped while we were on the wait list and got a text when the table was ready! Can't wait to go back here again!

100/10. This is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. My mom and I were visiting Nashville for the day and stumbled upon this cafe. I immediately fell in love with all the flowers, greenery and their awesome spooky Halloween decor. It feels like you’re in a movie or a spooky tv show in the best way possible. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant and I can’t wait to go back. We got the Bloody Mary and the avocado turkey sandwich on a pretzel bun. When we were there everything was fall themed and seriously amazing.

Not terrible, but this dining experience left a lot to be desired. We went here for breakfast on a Monday (Columbus Day). We arrived right around opening time (9:00 A.M.). We did not have reservations, but I noticed the two parties in front of me did, so maybe that’s why we were seated way out in almost a separate building which was more like a small bar area, even though the main dining area was not even half full. We were alone for a while at our high-top table before they brought in another party of 4 who I’m guessing also did not have reservations and sat at the bar. Our server was very friendly and capable. That said, it ultimately took 50 minutes to get our food, all of which we ordered as-is off the menu – breakfast burrito, French toast and bacon, kids’ meal (eggs, English muffin, sausage). My coffee was borderline cold by the time it arrived. My son’s kids’ meal was really good (I helped him finish it), but the French toast was disappointing. It was just one very thick piece made of sourdough, and the crust was so hard I couldn’t cut it with a knife or bite through it so I ended up not eating that part. Not gonna lie, I’d take IHOP over this if given a choice again.

I really enjoyed this place. I love gardens and this place is right in the middle of a garden. It is also dog friendly. I was very happy about that as we had checked out of our VRBO, so we didn't have anywhere we could leave the dog. I enjoyed having her with us. We sat outside, of course. The hostess sat us on the porch since it was supposed to rain and glad she did, because it did start raining before we left. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She gave our dog a piece of bacon ( with our permission). We both had the biscuits and bacon gravy with a scrambled egg and a side of bacon. Everything was very enjoyable, but we were disappointed that the gravy didn't have more flavor. The only other negative is that it took quite a while to get our food. Not sure why that was since they weren't that busy, but still I enjoyed the experience. They have a variety of dishes and I would go back again to try something else and enjoy the atmosphere. One other thing, you definitely need a reservation, at least if it's a Saturday or holiday. We tried to go on Saturday and it was a 2 hour wait if you didn't have a reservation. I learned my lesson and made a reservation for Sunday. They weren't as busy, but I was still glad I had a reservation.
