The food, atmosphere, and customer service were absolutely amazing! We were in town celebrating a bachelorette party, so we ordered a variety of menu items to share—and every single dish exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
A special shoutout to Sanaa, our waitress! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our group had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her outstanding service made our celebration even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a great place to enjoy delicious food, a fun atmosphere, and exceptional service, this is definitely the place to visit. We had an incredible experience and can't wait to come back!

If you're visiting Nashville, Noir Kitchen & Cocktails should absolutely be on your list.
A very special friend of mine who lives in Nashville recommended this spot, and I trusted his judgment, and I'm so glad I did. I had tried to visit during my very first trip to Nashville in May 2026 with friends, but we couldn't get in. On my recent solo trip, I checked their website, found a brunch reservation available, and finally got to experience it for myself.
First, I love supporting Black-owned businesses, and Noir did not disappoint. The restaurant has an upscale feel with intimate lighting and beautiful décor, sitting perfectly on the corner. One quick tip for first-time visitors: when you walk in, be sure to turn left to check in. It's easy to miss, but once I found it, I was seated right away. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and was one of the first guests, and everyone I encountered was warm, welcoming, and friendly.
Now let's talk about the food. I'm actually trying to cut back on bread, but those warm, fluffy biscuits were calling my name! Served with honey butter and strawberry jam, they were the perfect size and absolutely worth every bite.
For my entrée, I ordered the fried catfish and grits. The catfish had the perfect crispy crunch, and the grits were seasoned beautifully. Every bite was flavorful.
And then there was the white sangria...without question, one of the best sangrias I've ever had. It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and paired wonderfully with brunch.
From the atmosphere to the service, food, and drinks, this was an outstanding experience. Noir Kitchen & Cocktails has definitely earned a spot on my list of places I'll return to whenever I'm back in Nashville. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and make a reservation, you won't regret it!
My friend and I stopped by on the way out of Nashville, and fortunately, we arrived during happy hour. I ordered the dirty catfish and rice, a side of yams, the apple cobbler for dessert and the 2-4-1 lemon drop off the happy hour menu.
Everything that came to the table was phenomenal! The food was hot and seasoned to perfection. The cocktail was really good.
Although the food was was great, there was some negatives. I was annoyed by the 20% service fee on the bill. I asked about the tip being included and was told that it doesn't all go to the waitress. So I was expected to tip again. Total cost for the tip and service fee $22 dollar which could have been another entree. I was also charged double for a side I did not order, so please allow the customer to see their bill on the acreen instead of just stating the total.
Things to know: There is a 90 min limit at the table. There is free parking around the back and they will validate it. We didn't know where to park since we're from out of town.
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!
If I could leave no stars I would. I visited this place for the 1st time yesterday and it was a HOT MESS. Me and my coworker went and sat at the bar because they were saying that it was a 2 hour wait for a table. The lady at the bar serving us was nice but that's where the good experience ended. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and as I was picking up a piece to eat it I noticed a hair that was wrapped around my shrimp. The original bartender that was serving us was busy so I told the other one. She said she could see it to and took the food back. She got the manager and she came, apologized and said that she was going to see them make it herself( didn't offer to take it off my bill just apologized). The 2nd order that came out was cold. I ordered another appetizer but decided I want an entrée to go home with. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta but didn't eat it until I woke up this morning. While eating it, I NOTICED ANOTHER PIECE OF HAIR IN MY FOOD(not the same color). I called and tried to talk with the manager and she got very offensive and hung up the phone. I have worked in fast food and as a manager most of my life and this experience IS VERY VERY UNACCEPTABLE. You live and you learn and I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK OR RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. I WILL SHOUT FROM THE MOUNTAIN HOW DISGUSTING THIS PLACE IS AND HOW MANAGEMENT RESPONDS TO THEIR MESS UPS
