The food is amazing. The vibe of the place is elegant yet casual. I had the grilled lobster tails with garlic mashed potatoes and gouda Mac and cheese. It was out of this world. We had a party of nine and they were able to accommodate us, no problem. Just make sure you call ahead if you do have a large party. Service was excellent. Can be pricey with some drinks, but worth an unforgettable evening.

Girls trip to NASHVILLE!! It was our first visit to Noir. It was nothing short of amazing! 1000/10 Service was top tier! Food was fresh, hot, and delicious. The Tomahawk steak was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. Seasoned to perfection, juicy, and tender. Our 21+ drinks were on point, the bartender was top 10. Noir exceeded my expectations the over all experience is definitely top 10 In my book.

i was very excited to eat here with my loved ones.. but I had a terrible experience at this place. I celebrated my birthday with my family who flew in from the Bahamas, when setting up a reservation I had to drive to the establishment to book my reservation because no one was answering the phone. The day of my party we had an hour and a half at the table. Our waitress was rude, took 10mins to come greet us and bring water.. when we asked for menu she got a attitude about that proceed to get a QR code menu sat down in front of us and walked away.Our food came back an hour and a half later, which was time for us to give up our table. We were told we could move to another table,or pay for our food and go.out of five adults. Only one order of food arrived at the table within an hour and a half of waiting plus the table behind us a female was so drunk that she threw up behind two of my family members. I was very disappointed and disgusted with this place’s behavior and staff. I feel like the place is very short staffed, employees need professional and proper training.

EXCELLENT !! I'm writing the review as I wait for my check at the restaurant. We had a reservation at 8:30p. The host was so friendly and they validate parking, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated past our reservation. The outside atmosphere is such a vibe I would've waited 20 minutes. Our waitress Ericca was AMAZING!! Our appetizers and drinks came in a timely matter. The music was wonderful as well. Black owned so you know the vibes. I had the lobster entree and babbbyyyyeeee no regrets. I was so pleased they did an amazing job I'd recommend them 10 times more !!

I may have enjoyed it better if I didn't go on a Saturday night. The food was amazing so I'd more than likely place to go orders.
We had a reservation for 4 and was seated quickly. Upon walking in it was an overwhelming amount of people standing around. The host walked us over to the table, after a lot of "excuse me's" we sat down and immediately felt how cheap the tables and chairs were. The tables were pull out tables you'd use for functions.
You can tell they were wanting to seat as many people as they could. Everything was so close! Even the restroom. On the other hand, we heard great music!
We ordered drinks, appetizers, entree's, etc.
Unfortunately, everything came out at once. We wanted to order items one at a time but the waitress wasn't coming back enough. We understand so we didn't make a fuss. We just took it for what it was and learned from it.
Again, the food was amazing!!!!!
