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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The food is delicious! I always get the sweet potatoes that seem to be cooked and cut perfectly... the macaroni and cheese is flavorful... and the crab legs are amazing! The ambiance is great too... perfect for a date or an after work cocktail. My service was good as well. The only thing is, I was double charged. 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.

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

Good soul food with a touch of class! The vibe is smooth, great music, and you may want to get up and dance!

The ambiance, the customer service and the food are all 100/10! Please go to this restaurant! I want to start with the service because we had a reservation for 6:30 but so many things went wrong for us on the way there; reached out to see if we could extend the reservation and they were so accommodating to us and it was without any issue. That was so kind because we came from out of town and this restaurant was on my list to try and they willing pushed us out an hour when they didn't have to. Thank you so much Noir. Also, the venu itself is beautiful and the ambience is so romantic and calming. I took so many photos and videos because it's so gorgeous. Our drinks were nice, strong and tasty. For our dinner we ordered the lamb chops, catfish, and oxtail dinners and we all ironically ordered the same sides which were the yams cabbage and Mac and cheese. I have to say everything was sooo delicious. The fish was fried perfect, the oxtails were well seasoned and tender and my lamb chops were cooked perfectly ! It was my birthday dinner so they were so kind to bring me a slice of cheesecake! Like I said, 100/10! read more

We dropped by Noir for an early dinner on a recent visit to Nashville. We love soul food, and tried a sampling of various items on their menu -- southern deviled eggs, garlic butter hot sauce grilled oysters, collard greens with smoked turkey, oxtail over mashed potatoes, and an apple cobbler for dessert. Everything was delicious, and the ambience was easy and laid back. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside to enjoy the weather. Our server (Sanaa) was so lovely, and even offered to curate a music playlist for us! We asked for Raye as we were in town for her concert. We highly recommend stopping by. read more

I received top-tier service. I am vegan and my server Jazz spoke to Chef Antionette and she created a portobello mushroom dish with salted vegetables and rice and peas.

Noir is a great place if you're looking for some tasty food, good vibes and an aesthetically pleasing environment. However, their service needs to improve asap! First the Pros! My girlfriends and I went to their happy hour to have a few drinks and food. I tried the oysters for the first time and they were really good! Definitely smaller in size (I guess because of happy hour) but they were cooked really well. The music during the day was a vibe and the bathrooms were clean! (Always an extra plus for me) Now, the things that can be improved are the " specifics" of the happy hour deals. $1 Wings - min 5, $3 Oysters - min 4, $4 Lamb Chops - min 4. All of this is completely fine but definitely should be communicated because all of these items turn up being the same price as a regular meal. (So you don't really save much of at happy hour) The service is also very slow and not really attentive. A 20% gratuity is added to every bill regardless of the party size and it kind of seemed like the waiters didn't care as much because of that! Overall, I give Noir happy hour a 3 star experience! Mainly because of service read more

The aesthetic is nice, staff is very friendly however the service was inconsistent...we were sat at a 2 top that is behind a pillar...it's private but the downside is that no one can really see you. Waitress did not come to greet us until about 10 minutes after we were sat -- prob because she didn't know we were there. Cup, plates, and silverware were not clean but waitress replaced with no issues and was very apologetic. Food was mediocre at best. Presentation nice but flavor was lacking. Seems like they are trying to do an "elevated" soul food style menu but honestly it missed the mark. AND one of us got what felt like a stomach virus afterwards. Upset stomach pretty much right after the meal for a day or so. The bill for 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 1 drink was $170. Not worth it and we definitely won't be returning read more
