First time here & Loved everything about this place from the music, to the food & the culture. Not a club but they play stuff to vibe too. Lamb chops and everything were cooked perfect. The eggs did taste like smoke sausage so I'm assuming they cooked it on the same grill. No complaints from me, just a note. Aytia did her thing making sure our needs were met & we appreciated the check-ins from management assuring we had no complaints. I definitely will be here more often and can't wait to watch some games here. read more

Noir Kitchen & Cocktails - The sign to be looking for - Soul Food Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

My Friends and I came here during our trip last weekend and we were a party of 10. We already had reservations and was seated promptly within minutes. Our waiter came and took our drink orders prior to us ordering our food. The restaurant was nice on the inside and it seemed to have a nice crowd for a Sunday afternoon. The music wasn't too loud as most places and you could actually hear each other at the table without haven't to yell the entire time and the temperature Inside was comfortable, it wasn't too cold or hot especially considering the weather for that day. The food was really good, my only recommendation is that they hold off on so much of the black pepper. My potatoes were really spicy but everything was delicious. I did have to ask for syrup and butter which is almost a little strange not to have it come with the waffles. Another thing is the patron towers, so these were $80 for just the 4 you see pictured. You would think they would at least fill them up all the way considering that you are paying $20 each basically. I'm not sure if it's for aesthetics when the actual bottle is at a store is between $35-$45. Definitely don't try to short cut customers if that's the case. They taste as if it had very little patron and was filled with juice and other fillers. The service was nice and was timely especially considering our party of 10. The food could have been much hotter too, perhaps maybe they could use a warmer to keep the food fresh and hot so when it's coming out. Would I come back? Yes, all of us enjoyed our food. I wish I had more pictures to share. Overall we were satisfied just some things need more attention and especially with the type of presentation you are trying to make with future customers. read more

Service was spectacular!! We had a reservation and were sat within a few minutes of arrival. Enjoyed the music selection and the overall vibe. We had an assortment of things and kept adding things to our order randomly but Nya handled all of our randomness with grace. We ordered Philly Egg Rolls, Hot Parmesan Oysters, Lamb Chops, 8 oz Filet, Cajun Catfish, a plethora of sides, & a few drinks. My favorites: Oysters and the smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. I'm not a Mac & Cheese lover but I ABSOLUTELY loved these and will definitely order it again. My least faves: While the Filet was tender, flavorful, & cooked to my desired temperature, the texture was a bit overly soft to me. It's 'beer seared' which could have been the reason for it. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious and the entire thing was devoured especially with the Demi glaze on top. The space is cute but I wish the lights were a tad dimmer. The tables/chairs where we were sat felt like cafeteria tables but the booths appeared to be a bit nicer. The one thing that I absolutely did not like was the 20% service fee for all tables. We were a party of 3. Why is that a thing? Even with my least faves and the service fee, it is still a place I'd return to. read more

I've been eager to visit Noir for a while so I was happy to see it pop up on Offline. I went on a week day and it was pretty quiet and not busy at all, though it started to pick up the longer I was there. I grabbed a seat at the bar but it took me a bit to choose one that wasn't dirty. The bar was dusty in areas as well and the TVs weren't working. All this to say it was kind of somber since there also wasn't any music on. I had the Cajun catfish which comes with two sides. I chose the cabbage and yams. The fish and cabbage were fire! The yams weren't hot and a little too syrupy for my taste. The service was decent but could have been stepped up a notch. I had a pretty long wait for my food with no interaction from the bartender in between that time. It wasn't a bad experience but I probably won't be running to eat there again. read more

Food, drinks, and ambiance was great!! Honey our waitress was exceptional! She remembered our drink orders of 5 different drinks, very attentive, and brought Chef V to our table. This was a great experience for my out of town guests. The only reason I didn't rate a 5 because we were told in a rude manner by a hostess or different waitress we needed to wrap up because there was another party with a reservation and we needed to go since they needed our table although there was an empty both right behind us. I made a reservation and waited patiently for my table to be ready. This lady didn't even give Honey, our waitress an opportunity to ask if we were ready to close out our table or even offer a suggestion since they were running low on available seating for reservations. I would strongly suggest customer service traing on how to handle this type of situations in a beter manner for guest don't have to experience this unpleasant behavior at your establishment. read more

I was invited to a birthday dinner at Noir last night, for a party of 10. Our reservations were for 7:30, but we didn't get seated until well after 8. Additionally, they sat us in the corner by the door under the neon sign, but had our table set up L shaped which was a bit odd. Not a big deal though, we could hear each other fairly well for the most part. As you will read in other reviews, it was warm in there... easily between 75 and 80 degrees. I get that it's the peak of summer right now but fix your A/C! Nashville is a town where people expect to have air conditioning and not sweat while they eat. I want to highlight that our waitress was so sweet and very friendly, but the service overall was very slow (which I'm not blaming her for). Anytime we ordered drinks it took 30 minutes to get them, and appetizers were really slow too (one of them we never even got). We were here til after 10:30 - dinner shouldn't take that long especially when it's not several courses. Let's talk drinks and food. I enjoyed the cocktails even if they took forever to come out - the French 75 was my favorite. The food here is okay, but it is not worth the high prices. Soul food should not be expensive, and this isn't a fusion restaurant so not sure how they landed on $40 and up per meal. They're charging $75 for king crab - insane! The food we ate was okay to good, but nothing mind blowing. We had Bang Bang Shrimp, Lemon Pepper Fried Caulfilower, Lamb chop lollipop (overcooked), Catfish, Mac and Cheese, and Rasta Pasta (very spicy)! My friend brought her birthday cake in, and if they cut it for you and bring it out, they charge a $25 fee. We were going to do this but we had to ask twice for them to bring the cake out and it took forever so we ended up cutting it at my friend's place nearby (we were not charged). All and all, this place has good potential, and the staff is friendly - but that's not enough. Fix your service standards, lower your prices (this is something I never complain about by the way!), and crank the a/c up! read more

The service was great very nice, but the oxtail dinner with the rice was not good nor was the Gouda Mac and cheese.The food also came out too fast. The tables were too close for comfort. The music didn't give upscale it was very explicit. It was hair on utensils. The vibe just wasn't there. read more

Location is close to the freeway & not far from downtown Nashville which makes it convenient for travelers. The decor is beautiful. They have textured all black walls which give it an elegant touch. The ceiling has small lights peeking through which look like stars in a night sky. There's a phone booth and a wall next to it decorated with black flowers where you can take pictures. This is a nice place to celebrate a birthday or go on a date. The Menu: Various options available for appetizers, entrees. Alcoholic beverages, sides & dessert. We ordered the Philly egg rolls for appetizers & they were delicious. The entrees we ordered were average but plated well. (Had nice presentation) The highlight of the food I ordered was the smoked gouda macaroni & cheese... so good! Drinks: They are expensive & they took way too long to get our drinks to us. Improvements needed in Service: I had a 7:30pm reservation & I still didn't get seated on time. The place is full and has a lot of clientele which is good but also has its downfalls. It took us over 20 minutes to receive our drinks. Because it took so long to have the server take our order, we ordered everything at the same time. (Drinks, apps, entrees) There were multiple tables with patrons waiting for their food & drinks for an extensive period of time. I will say that our server was very friendly & had a wonderful attitude. Overall, it's a nice place & I enjoyed the ambiance. I'm glad I didn't have a set time or plans to be somewhere after this dinner reservation, because I would have definitely been late. read more

What a wonderful experience we had at Noir! We went there to celebrate a family birthday and could not have made a better choice. It is not a large venue so it felt warm and welcoming. The food was exceptional - and we had quite a wide array. We had steak, lobster, chicken,pasta,wings, greens, Mac and cheese, spinach dip, mashed potatoes, broccoli and yams. I probably forgot something. All the food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and helpful. It was topped off with a slice of birthday cheesecake which we all shared because we were so full! We will most definitely return to Noir again and again. read more

This was my second visit to Noir Restaurant in Nashville, and it was very disappointing compared to my first. While our waitress Courtney was excellent, the restaurant seemed overwhelmed, which affected service and food quality. I ordered the chicken wing entrée with mac and cheese, collard greens, and candied yams. The wings were extremely small and overcooked, and the collard greens were overly salty. I don't mind paying for good food, but the quality did not match the price. I will not be returning. read more

Everything is great here food, atmosphere, customer service and don't forget the vibes!!!

worst experience ever! food nasty. server had a nasty attitude. manager had a nasty attitude! i won't be back.

Good music vibe for a bar; bit loud for table dining but still enjoyable. Free parking in local underground garage. Don't pay when you park...scan code at hostess desk and remember your license plate numbers. Server was quick to take my order and offer suggestions. Trying the cream cheese/spinach stuffed salmon w/candied yams and collard greens. Ordered at 5:05p; food arrived reasonably at 5:20p and looks great. Plate appearance scores a 5 as do taste and proportion sizes. Suggest you give this place a try for a relaxed vibe and enjoyable meal. read more

We waited over 2 hours for a table. Then the hostess finally came over asked us how long we had been there and still proceeded to sit other parties because they had reservations but we had been there since 7:30 and they told us it would be only an hour wait. And hour turned into over 2 hours. It was almost 10 pm when we finally decided to leave. That is ridiculous. No one should have to wait that long. read more

Great experience. The service was quick. Everyone was kind and attentive. Food was nicely displayed and the portions were large. The food was very tasty. However, the overall pricing was slightly over, especially because of the fact that a service charge and gratuity were included and calculated into the tab. Nice atmosphere and I do plan to visit again when I'm in town. I will definitely recommend this spot to others. read more

Had the opportunity to check out this spot Friday night for my cousin's birthday dinner, and was thoroughly satisfied for the most part. Immediately impressed with them offering complimentary parking (if you know the new Nashville, that's not always the case). Very spacious, you're greeted by the U shaped bar when you walk in, then you see tables set up in various situations (two person, group of four, large gatherings). TVs set up around the bar and dining area (very clutch when you're trying to watch the NBA playoffs). The music was at a nice level to where you can hear it, but still have conversation with the people around you. Now let's get to the best part...the FOOD! Simply amazing! From the Buffalo chicken egg rolls (delicious!), the brussel sprouts (so good), Cajun cabbage (I wanted to take a pound of it home), to the Stuffed Chicken (*chef's kiss); I left there extremely full and already planning my next trip there. Also, the bartender made me a drink called, Southern Hospitality, best drink I've had made for me in a LONG time! Only negative, and it's a small negative, the service was slow at times. The staff were extremely nice, just for the venue to be half full at best, it took a while to get our drinks and food. Would suggest everybody check this spot out, looking forward to seeing how their brunch is. read more

We tried!!! We have a reservation for Saturday @ 4pm, party of 2.... Hostess discussing shift with another person and finally apologized for talking over us and looks it up. It takes a few mins and we are directed to a small wobbly sticky table near the kitchen and extra loud music speaker. As the waitress comes out she hands us brunch menus and informs us that's all they serve until 5pm. Wait What- yep, you want to wait until 5? Nope, we will find another spot. read more

Y'all.. that love me was just too darn good! I had to be civilized and eat with the fork and knife while I was there. So I decided to take a plate home. The pic is what the lamb shank would have looked like had nobody been there to see me eat it! Oh my God and the grits.. Jesus take the wheel! It's really really hard to sit there and not be emotionally opened and vocal about how good the food is as you eat it. But my mama! Those grits, they need to be smacked! That made no sense! So freaking delicious! I hate this place for being so delicious! And again please get a reservation! read more

This is a super cute spot. The vibes were definitely there. I went for happy hour and that's the move! The apps are 1/2 price and so are the house drinks. The food was fire. All of my ppl were happy. I had spinach dip and wings and I didn't even have to tell them to fry hard! The service was good. She was attentive and got our food out timely and hot. I went with 6 ppl and they didn't even charge the automatic gratuity (never matters for me bc I'm a 20% girlie but still was nice). Also they validate parking for like 3 hours. Love this spot and I can't want to go back. read more

My sisters and I had the best night out last night. The Noir atmosphere was incredible. The service was outstanding and the food was ridiculously good. I had the seafood pasta; it was fresh off the stove, hot and scrumptious. Our server, Destiny was absolutely delightful. We sat next to the key board player and initially thought it would be too loud there to enjoy our conversation. He was perfect, it only enhanced our conversation and we got to chat with him-so talented. Overall, the night was spectacular and I could not wait to share this review. From beginning to end: seated quickly, acknowledged swiftly and kindly, with all meal questions answered. Our food was delivered hot and to order, we all had to get to-go containers because the portions were quite impressive. Highly recommended for date-night or a girls-night. Keep up the excellent work! read more

I've been back a few more times and it never disappoints. The happy hour (lamb chops, lemon drops, etc) is one you don't want to miss. If I could make it weekly, I'd be there. The bartenders are always kind and responsive and the vibe is so positive in there. I love this place! read more

Highly Disappointed - Consumer Beware! I ordered the Ribeye and Shrimp and requested it cooked medium. What I received was well-done and extremely salty. The waitress encouraged me to send it back, which I did, but the replacement was no better--still overcooked, thin-cut, and tasted frozen. For $71, I expected a far superior dining experience. Unfortunately, this restaurant failed to deliver. I would not recommend it if you're looking for quality food or a true fine dining experience. read more

Alexis is such a good server! We made a 4:30 reservation and were seated immediately! Alexis gave us some great recs! Like the Rasta pasta that came with oxtails on it were to die for!

They played great music and the vibes were very nice here. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! This place is definitely a staple in Nashville! read more

The food is exceptional and mostly consistent. The service is usually good, nice atmosphere , and stiff drinks. I only have two complaints. 1. The music is always so loud, it is hard to have a conversation without screaming. On two occasions, our waitress had our order wrong, and I suspect that she actually could not hear. I have considered taking earplugs next time. 2. Getting someone to answer the phone is almost impossible. I understand that technology has advanced, but if other reputable establishments have the ability to serve their customers this way, Noir should also. Finally, I have two tips. 1. Reservations are a must! 2. Parking is available behind the building, but DO NOT forget to use the no tow code, available at the hostess stand. read more

I've wanted to come to Noir for a while now. I finally got some time and some friends together to go for their happy hour (HH)! They have a parking lot very close by (can be validated), and great views of the city. Inside the establishment is very cute, had plenty of seating available , and was decorated for Christmas! The food and drinks were delicious and the staff were extremely friendly, but I unfortunately will not be back here for a while. We ordered: - lamb chops (HH, they were like lollipops) - wings (honey hot, lemon pepper, sweet heat, 1 flavor & 5 wing max during HH ) - yams (sweet and sticky ) - Mac & cheese (very good, actually seasoned!) - Brussels sprouts (a little sweet if you don't mind, but well seasoned) - Cajun cabbage - fries (battered) - garlic mashed potatoes (a little thick but good, heavy on the garlic) - Parmesan oysters - Rockefeller oysters (very salty, but good otherwise) - margaritas, lemon drops, don julio shots ***HH portions are smaller than regular price, and it seemed like they move slowly to avoid getting your orders during HH to get you to order from the regular priced menu*** We had to stop someone to get waters after being seated for 20 minutes without being acknowledged by anyone. We waited 2 hours for our drinks (we were forewarned that the bar was moving slow but wow), and at least an hour for our food, though food was constantly coming out of the kitchen. There are restrictions on the happy hour menu that aren't clearly advertised like $1 wings have a 5 wing max. Dirty rice and the loaded mashed potatoes aren't part of happy hour sides. Also, the only oyster included with happy hour is the hot Parmesan. The food was brought out in parts, so while I had most of my food, other people were brought absolutely nothing. Someone in my party had food allergies which were acknowledged but then the food that came out could've sent her to the hospital. The manager tried to correct her experience but failed to try to correct anyone else's in the same moment. When we ordered the wings, initially boneless wings (essentially chicken nuggets) came out but when my wings finally came out (after asking about them 3x) they were actual party wings. Apparently, earlier in the evening the kitchen said they were out of wings, but it wasn't communicated to us prior to them being brought out. I guess they ended up finding more wings between the first order coming out and mine coming out. We did also notice people dressed in plain clothes going back and forth to the kitchen, which was different. The music was amazing though, they know how to set the ambiance while you wait for God knows how long to eat or drink. All in all, I'm not sure where the disconnect was between the kitchen, bar, and service staff. To have parts of our order be brought out twice, have to ask for our food and drinks 3 and 4 times and not ever have the table cleared, our 3 hour visit was one for the books. Thankfully, our tab was covered by the establishment but I can't say I'd ever recommend Noir for a quick lunch or drink because there's no telling how the service would be. The only way I'd try Noir again is by ordering takeout, but I'm very nervous that the experience would be about the same and I don't have it in me to be disappointed twice. read more

My sister suggested this place for brunch for us out of towners. It was absolutely magnificent. The food was 10/10. We had the catfish & grits, the chicken & waffles, and the pancakes platter which chicken, lamb chops, greens and Mac and cheese. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The food was hot and fresh. The only suggestion was how long it took for the food to come out. We wait for about 30 mins for our food after ordering. It was almost if they only had one cook in the kitchen. That's the only reason why I voted them a 4 out of 5. Overall it was great and would recommend again. read more

Shrimp and grits were very good from Linda U. The smothered chicken was just OK, had a cheese sauce instead of a true gravy. The catfish was hot and good, collards were to sweet, bit fries were great when we first came in, the music was full of profanity. This should not be for any business that want to welcome all, especially families and Christians. I ask server to change the music and it was addressed by manager. That made the ambiance more acceptable. Hostest seemed preoccupied with her phone.than to acknowledge our presence. read more
