About The Mockingbird
The Mockingbird sits in an 1850s farmhouse, a landmark to the community. After the Civil War, the property was used to raise cattle, sheep and crops. Guest can even see an original milk churn, sheep paddles and burgundy quilt on display, which belonged to the Boatwright’s, one of only four families to live on the property. Although parts of the home have been restored over the years, many elements are original, like the front door and fireplace. Learn more about The Mockingbird Restaurant here.

About Mere Bulles
In June of 2000, Mere Bulles moved a few miles south of downtown Nashville to Maryland Manor, a historic plantation-style farmhouse and former estate home in Brentwood. The Mansion itself was built in 1942 with bricks salvaged from a previous historic building that was torn down near the present site, thus giving Maryland Manor it’s authentic Old South appearance. The Maryland Farms business district and neighborhood where the current location thrives derive its name from the once grand 400 acre estate.
Today, Mere Bulles is an active participant in the community and continues to be a beloved local tradition. Mere Bulles continues to serve the Nashville business community as well as its neighbors and out of town guests. With a rich, long history, the word has spread to out of town visitors who enjoy the stories and are always greeted with a new-old Southern Dining experience.
