" Once Upon A Time In France mixes a cozy ambiance with a taste of home-cooked French cuisine. I ordered the scallops for my appetizer, which were heavenly, while my partner enjoyed the steak frites. Both dishes were well-executed and delivered perfectly. There was a minor hiccup with the timing between courses, but it didn't ruin the overall experience. We are eager to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance took me back to dining in Paris. The escargot was cooked perfectly and the duck confit was the best I've ever had! My only regret is not trying the desserts. I would definitely recommend this lovely little restaurant to anyone who loves French cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this French gem! The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, perfect for date night. We started with the escargot – deliciously buttery – and moved on to the steak frites, which were satisfyingly crispy and perfectly seasoned. The staff was attentive and made our experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my experience. While the ambiance was delightful and authentic, with French music playing softly in the background, the food didn't impress me as much as I anticipated. I found the duck confit to be good but lacked that rich flavor I was looking for. The waitstaff, however, were lovely and attentive, making me feel welcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my visit was lacking. The dishes were alright, however, I felt they missed the mark on authenticity. My duck confit was a tad dry, and the fries were soggy. The service was pleasant, but with so many fantastic French spots in Nashville, I may not return here soon. I suggest targeting the classic bistro items if you come. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The authenticity here was impeccable, and we truly felt like we were transported straight to France! The flavors in every dish were vibrant and unique. My personal favorite was the tarte tatin, which was a heavenly end to our meal. I do wish I had tried their seasonal cocktails. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional French restaurant! The service was wonderful, and the food was full of authentic flavors. The lobster bisque stood out and was just divine! The atmosphere was the icing on the cake; it reminded me of my last trip to France. If you're in Nashville, this little treasure is definitely worth visiting. I’m counting down the days until I can return! " (*Curated Review*)
