This restaurant isn't in the Factory but beside it. The food is inventive and always delicious. The service is good and wait staff are friendly. The ladies room is beautiful too! Just a pretty restaurant overall to enjoy lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking in front or at the Factory.

My husband took me here for our Valentine dinner because it was close to our home and we wanted to enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner and didn't want to drive a long way home. He made reservations under his name and when we got there the reservations were under our last name with the wrong first name. The... More

I went there with a few coworkers and we all enjoyed it very much. Food was good, not outstanding. But the portions were generous. We shared the Hummus which turned out pretty good. I had the Teriyaki Salmon with jasmine rice and it was very tasty and to salty (like a lot of teriyaki plates are). They had Happy Hour... More

Went for Mother's Day brunch. Food was very good. Dining area looks like a big house. Plenty of room and a great dessert bar.

I enjoyed a very good dinner here. I had shrimp ravioli which had a great flavor. My mother enjoyed a grilled shrimp dish and my daughter had a trout special. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the server was able to make good recommendations. This place is much better than the chain restaurants of Cool Springs. It has a nice atmosphere.

Very attentive staff and a sunny and inviting dining room for lunch. Locals love it! We didn't get to enjoy the upstairs patio, but hear it's a special treat in warmer months.

They catered the event i attended and although fairly basic, the food was good. I plan to return and check out their full menu.

We had a retirement dinner here. Private room which was perfect for this kind of an occasion. We ordered off the menu so everyone could have what they wanted - some things are very good - others just so- so, but it works very well for a group. Good service.

We are always passing by and decided to stop in after leaving the factory. It was good but not tremendous. The decor is nice but found it be little echoey. The service was very good and the couple items we got were good. sliders, chili and steak/rib eye..will try again because we live a few blocks away

My boyfriend and I ended up at Boxwood Bistro because Saffire was booked and I wanted a nice sit-down restaurant experience. My first impression upon entering BB and being seated is that it has a very elegant ambiance. The restaurant interior has low, soft lighting and even the bar area is classy. The service was excellent and the waitstaff very... More
