Noir was a great experience. My fiancé and I went during brunch. The ambiance is nice. Our waitress, Kennedy, was friendly, and gave us great food recommendations. The portion sizes are great. We will be visiting here again, for sure. read more

Exceptional food, great service but do to the time frame they give you. I felt rushed!

If you're looking for the perfect Nashville spot for a celebration, this is it. The ambiance was on point, with a small area to dance and the saxophonist serenaded me with "Happy Birthday," which made the night feel so special. Now, I'll be honest, despite having a reservation, we waited almost an hour to be seated, and the AC being out definitely didn't help. BUT... the food completely redeemed everything. No notes. Absolutely amazing. We had the lamb chops and oxtails and YUMMMO. The cabbage, greens, oysters, and fried chicken were good toooo! Every single dish hit. Honestly, I would travel back to Nashville just for that food alone. Great energy, memorable experience, and food worth every minute of the wait. read more

Holy! Moly! I can't say enough about this place. It has been on our radar for a while and my wife decided this was where she wanted to go for a celebratory birthday brunch. We arrived just before 11:00 AM and were seated immediately. Even without a reservation, but I would recommend making one just to be sure you can get a table. They were already quite busy. And after having eaten there for the first time, I know why. First of all, everyone we encountered was an absolute pleasure. So nice that even our eight-year-old son commented on how nice everyone was. Dee (sp?) at the hostess stand, Tyler our server, and Kahlia the manager. Just perfectly pleasant and accommodating people. Now for the food. Absolute magic. Everything, and I mean everything, was outrageously delicious. And the portions were substantial. Our sons are pretty finicky eaters. And they loved it all. Hands-down, the best soul food I've ever eaten in my life. Comforting, but not too heavy. Perfectly seasoned. Perfectly cooked. Full of heart. Menu items we ordered: Biscuits and gravy Candied bacon Stuffed salmon bowl Soul cakes (a veritable feast of pancakes, lamb chops, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens) Chicken and waffle (red velvet) We brought home a bunch of leftovers. But they we're gone before 7:30 PM the same day. Because there was enough to call it dinner. read more

I'm giving three stars primarily for Courtney WITH THE FADE, who truly stood out during our visit. I brought my mom here to enjoy our happy hour ritual, but our experience was a bit of a rollercoaster. Courtney's Excellence Shines Through! We arrived and were seated 20 minutes after our reservation, which was a bit disappointing. Once seated, it took Courtney about 10 minutes to reach our table. However, she sincerely apologized for the delay and efficiently took our entire order. Despite being busy with two large parties, Courtney consistently checked in on us, which made a significant difference in our experience. The food was pleasant and enjoyable. The food runners who brought our meals were friendly and accommodating, adding a positive touch to the service. The Downside as we wrapped up our meal, Courtney brought us the check and to-go boxes. However, Jamyra approached our table, and what started as light chit-chat quickly turned passive-aggressive. Her demeanor shifted from friendly to rude, which was disheartening. Unfortunately, her behavior reflects the negative stereotypes often associated with black women in leadership positions, affecting how staff and customers perceive her. In summary, while Courtney's service was exceptional and made our visit worthwhile, Jamyra's attitude left a sour note. Here's hoping for better experiences in the future! read more

During recent visit to Nashville, I has the opportunity to dine here for my sisters birthday dinner. The restaurant is beautiful. I love the Black & Gold vibe they have going on. There is a nice size bar sitting slighty in the middle of the dining area, with nice size table+chairs for dining in. We had a semi private table setting which fit all 8 of us comfortably. Our waitress was a sweetheart, who gave recommendations, attentative, and also patient with our party size. Most of us had mocktails that the bartender freestyled. It was so good! For apps, I ordered the hot parm oysters. I never pass on ordering oysters whenever they are available because not many places back home offer cooked oysters. I liked the oysters but they were a little salty. For my main dish, I ordered the lamb chop dinner which comes with 2 sides. I had the yams and mac+cheese. The yams were good. Not too sweet. The lamb was great. Well seasoned and tender. The mac was good also but had a lot of what appeared to be either pepper or parsley inside. I was so full from the oysters and mocktail, I took most of my main course back to the hotel. The food tasted better a few hours later lol I also had a cornbread muffin that was tasty also. I would for sure revisit her when I return to Nashville. read more

Southern comfort food at its finest. This will for sure have you leaning and catching the itis. Went in the afternoon for late lunch early dinner and it wasn't too crowded when we first arrived, but it's not a huge space so I def can see how this place can get crowded. Chill ambiance overall and the staff for very helpful. Yams and collard greens ranked high for what we ordered followed by the cornbread. The lamb and the catfish are solid mains, but the sides are where it's att. read more

Can I just say this is the best restaurant I've had in a long time. Everything was so delicious. We went on a Saturday morning during brunch and they have buy one get one free lemon drops. I was feeling great off of the first few sips lol. And then when the food came out, I was impressed by everything on my plate. The macaroni and fried chicken were my favorite if I had to choose. The server was so nice. They began to get a little bit more crowded as we were eating and she continued to make sure she checked on us. The music was great and it wasn't too loud. I hate when I go places and I can't hear the person I'm dining with. Even the decor was nice, dark and moody, which I liked. They had a patio option as well, but we decided to dine in. Overall 10 out of 10 with highly recommend I can't wait until I go back to Nashville to eat here. read more

I was looking for a Black owned place to go when I came to Nashville and Noir did not disappoint. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Our server Erika was nice and attentive. The music was playing at the perfect level, loud enough to enjoy but not too loud to hold a conversation. We had the wings, brussels, lemon drops, fries and Southwest egg rolls. Everything came out quicker than expected. Inside of the restaurant was beautiful, with plenty of yellow tinged lighting that made you feel like you were glowing. read more

Just went today for the first time. It was really good! I had catfish, Mac n cheese, collard greens with a cornbread muffin. I thought it would be salty as soul food places usually are for me, but it was not. It was flavorful and the service was just perfect. There is a 90 minute maximum time to eat. We were fine with that. read more

My friends & I stopped by Noir for a drink while hanging out on a Saturday. Its sultry decor leans toward a grown & sexy vibe. We didn't have reservations & found seats at the bar. It was lively, so if you plan to go on a Saturday evening, make reservations. It seemed to be a popular spot for celebrations & tourists. We only got an appetizer, but the food our neighbors ordered looked good. There's parking on the street & behind the building. Love: cocktail (sweet, well-made) Like: spinach dip (comes with pita chips); service (fine) read more

What a yummy brunch experience! My girlfriends and I visited Noir for brunch this past weekend. The atmosphere was really inviting with its African inspired decor and great music. The hostess was friendly and agreed to snap our picture in front of their signature wall. Our waitress Morgan was very professional and polite. The food selection was great. I was a little disappointed they didn't have snapper but I got my 2nd choice, catfish w/grits instead. I also ordered collard greens and they were delicious. My friend ordered oxtails with grits and she said it was a nice portion and very tasty. My other friend ordered a sampler with oxtails, shrimp, lamb chop, and catfish. She really enjoyed that. Oh and I had a sangria to die for! It was sooooo good. Overall we really enjoyed Noir and was happy we had an opportunity to support a Black owned business. read more

Came to this restaurant last night for a team dinner. We had a reservation and were seated shorty after all of us getting there. We had a pretty big group, so I'm glad we were seated without having to wait a while. As soon as we sat down, our waitress asked everyone what they wanted to drink. We all did wait for a menu, however, they don't hand out paper menus, they have a QR code. We were with an older crowd, so i think they were a little bothered by that but everyone did end up looking and ordering. One of my colleagues got the spinach dip as an appetizer and i was able to try it. It was super cheesy with barely any spinach lol. It didn't taste bad, however, it seemed to be more of a cheese dip than spinach dip. The chips it came with were very tasty and just the right amount of crunch. My coworker also got the cornbread appetizer and he said they were really good. I got the Rasta pasta, which is really good. However, i didn't like the sauce that was on the chicken. I took the chicken off of the pasta and ate the rest. The toast was also really good as well . I love the fact that this restaurant is black owned. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. read more

I've been to Noir quite a few times now and I've never been disappointed. Came on a Thursday around 2:30 and was surprised at how busy they were (we were immediately seated with no reservations but it was more crowded than I expected). I had the 2-4-1 lemon drops (happy hour) which were delicious. We had philly steak egg rolls for an appetizer (happy hour special) which were amazing! I also had the Rockafeller Oysters, Smoked Gouda Macaroni and cheese, and Collard Greens. My husband had the Dirty Cajun Catfish & Rice w/ Yams & Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious. The food came out timely and hot! Our server, Sanaa, was amazing. 10/10 for service, food, and ambiance. read more

I had such a good time and left the establishment before double checking.... I'll just pay attention next time. read more

Amazing food. Cool ambiance and friendly servicers. Our first time at Noir. Wasn't sure if we'd like it. OMG! Loved every morsel show in those photos. The brussel sprouts were perfect. The Mac and cheese looked beautiful but more creamy than cheesy. Got the Apple cobbler with ice cream. Ice cream delightful. Cobbler, no crust and super sweet. I'll skip dessert next time and get more corn bread- absolutely perfect. 4.5 read more

The food and staff were amazing !!!!! The hot towel experience added a special touch.

When I went inside the restaurant, everybody looks lively like they were having a good time. Every time I come through there from Louisville, Kentucky, I love to order the food is always so good. I always order enough food for two days and have no problems. This time when I got to my mac & cheese, it was not cooked all the way. When I called the restaurant to let them know, it wasn't cooked all the way she told me that she wouldn't be able to do anything because it had been two days. I feel like if I place an order for food on Friday afternoon Sunday It should still be good as it has been in the past. I should not be eating mac & cheese that is basically hard to chew and not cooked all the way. read more

I was very excited to try this Black-owned restaurant while visiting Nashville! We made a reservation for a week night and while the food was delicious, the service was inconsistent throughout the evening. When we arrived, we were seated at our table but had to wait for a while before any staff approach us to ask for our drink orders. The menus are accessible from a QR code so we were able to start looking at the menus and decide what we wanted to eat. Our tablecloth had pieces of food stuck to it. My friend used the bathroom while we were there and said that there were several flies in the stall. However, in general, the internal decor looked sleek and modern. When the staff arrived to take our order, we got a series of smaller dishes and shared among ourselves. The star of the show were the Fried Salmon Bites! Absolutely delicious! They are technically an appetizer and were fried to perfection and well seasoned. The Spin Dip was also delicious! Cheesy and hot with great flavor! I look forward to trying Noir again the next time I visit Nashville. While I was a little disappointed on this visit, I know they have a reputation for great service and delicious food. Hopefully, the experience will be better next time. Happy Eating!! read more

It was my first time at Noir. Parking was a little confusing, you have to go behind the building. They validate parking for up to 3 hours. The drinks were 2 for 1 during brunch. I got the red sangria and that was pretty good. I ordered the oxtail and grits and I really enjoyed that. The biscuit was good too. The restaurant has a lot of potential, our server was great. Workers were dresses in nice uniforms. The aesthetics didn't really match. Everything was black, new chairs would help and they get rid of the twinkle lights on the ceiling. The seating could be spaced out better. We were really close to a table, it was almost attached but the table on the other side was far for no reason. I'll be back to try their dinner. read more

It's a little pricey! We walked away with a $220 birthday brunch tab. SIDENOTE: if you don't know your license plate number take a snapshot of it. On the way in your parking will be validated. Do concentrate on enjoying the richness of the food and the delightfulness of the drinks! Full transparency, it is rather loud, but totally enjoyable. Especially if you are in mood to be festive. It is definitely not the spot for a quiet dinner or drink. It definitely can be challenging to hear one another at the table. read more
