January

First off, this place is very fancy. Our group of 4 went for dinner. The service is excellent and so is the food. So if you are looking for an exceptional and bougie dining experience, this is the place to go. Their menu seems to rotate based off the local season so the menu online might be a little off. The food is amazing and is full of passion and creativity. I got the scallops, but we also had shrimp, duck, and short ribs on the table. It was all fantastic, and well worth the price tag. If you are into wine, they have a huge selection. And if you like cocktails they have some very creative ones. The service though, might have been the best I’ve ever had. Everyone was so attentive. Overall great experience and great food that made me feel very fancy.

WOW! This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was amazing. Our waiter, William, was so friendly and informative. Our water glasses were never empty, each course was paced perfectly, and the ambience was perfect. Not to mention, everything we ordered was incredible. I can’t recommend January enough if you are staying at Southall or are within driving distance. We will be back! Thank you the best anniversary dinner.

Countryside brunch is epic! Arguably the best food in and around Nashville. Beautiful, fresh, nutritious ingredients, exceptional cooked, brilliantly served. They were also so accommodating to our food allergies and preferences. It is a little expensive but well worth it. So much delicious food! They say pace yourself, you really should. I’m a fairly big guy with a big appetite, worked out and skipped breakfast and was still full! And grateful to be so. Thank you Southall team for another wonderful experience. We’ll be back.

Came for dinner. Was one of the best dinners I have had. Every dish far exceeded our expectations. The Hamachi in yuzu was out of this world. Justin was our server, he had us laughing and felt like a friend we had known for ages by the end of the meal. The whole staff in general were welcoming and made the experience perfect. Learned about new ingredients that further built on the experience.

One of the best restaurants in the Nashville area (Franklin). The service and atmosphere are perfect, the menu is amazing. It’s a bit of a special occasion restaurant, but if I lived closer I would be there all the time.

I went to January for their Countryside Brunch and was so very disappointed. A year ago I went to breakfast at the Sojourner and loved it so I couldn’t wait to try the brunch at January. The menu looked great but it did not taste good at all. Many of the items had little taste and hardly any seasoning. The best thing - the salad greens. The worst part of the meal was the pastry. The biscuits were dry and tasteless as well as very tough. The desserts were simply sweet. They could have been from a chain grocery store. I don’t understand how in the time since I went to the Sojourner that the standards could have dropped so far. The meal at January was not a good value at all. I also noticed that the staff seemed less interested in us being there. We asked our server what something was on one of the dishes and she said “I don’t know” and she never gave us an answer. I will not be wasting my money or time to drive out to Southall again. January Countryside Brunch is NOT worth it.

The property and staff was excellent 5 stars! The food was good not great or the best in Nashville. My first issue is steak was price per ounce. That's fine but minimum 24 oz with bone in so now you're paying for a bone per ounce. Second issue was extra taxes and fees over $150 then 20% gratuity on top of those. Plenty of steak houses in Nashville with bigger better cuts of steak at half the price.

We dined at January for our anniversary while staying at Southall. The food was divine, and the service was exceptional.

Started dinner at the bar, which is sort of shared space between Sojourner, the casual dining space, and January. The specialty cocktail menu is not long, but it is particularly well thought out. The wife absolutely loved the Apiary, and though I didn't taste it myself, it is a very beautiful looking drink. I had the spiced old fashioned, and it was a pleasant variation on the usual old fashioned. Like everything throughout Southall, the restaurant space is gorgeous. A beautiful soaring ceiling, all windows on the outside overlooking the peaceful central Tennessee hills and a very open bustling kitchen on the inside of the space. We started with the parker house rolls with honey butter and the oysters chowder style. The rolls were warm just out of the oven, huge and fluffy and addictive. The oysters were bursting with flavor, perfectly cleaned and shucked half shell, in a little pool of chowder, with a lone oyster cracker on each. Highly recommend you start with this combo, we certainly will be on every visit. Though the menu will change with the seasons, I do hope they keep these two as flagship standards. Next the beet escabeche. I'm not a huge beet fan, though the wife is, but the texture and flavor of the dish was quite pleasant, and it made a good side for our shared large plate, a dry aged porterhouse. The menu simply states "dry aged steak" and they actually had a varied selection of cuts. We chose a smaller porterhouse so the wife could enjoy the filet side, while I dove into the strip side. The three smaller and one large plate, all shared, was a filling happy dinner for us. Service was consistently friendly, helpful, and efficient throughout. It's silly expensive, like everything at Southall, and they automatically add a 20% tip to the check. Just be aware you're going to be warming up your credit card there. As locals, we won't usually be staying the night at Southall, though it was a perfect end to dinner that we could just wander down the hall to our room. But we will be back regularly to enjoy dinner at January.

We came for dinner. Absolutely everything was wonderful from beginning to end. Staff were super friendly and professional. The food was amazing - so delicious. They recommend ordering to share. There are three (maybe four, if you want dessert) courses. They offer an extensive wine/drink list. Our server, Shaydia, was simply the best. Each of her recommendations were spot on. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.

PHENOMENAL. Truly. First and foremost, the drive up to the inn is beautiful, and the service all the way from valet, the front desk, to the restaurant staff in its entirety was top tier. We sat down and were blown away with the ambiance, and loved the open layout of the kitchen. You're able to see everyone working diligently to prepare your food, and the main chef looks over every dish and gives the okay before allowing it to leave the kitchen. Our server, Barrett was great. Seeing how it was our first time dining here, he went in depth and in great detail about the menu, answered our questions with ease and gave fantastic recommendations. We ordered the bread, and we were told we were going to get the last 2 rolls (which is half of the normal amount), but they wanted us to be able to try it, so they said it's on them! Their butter has honey in it, specifically from the bees on their farm. From there, we had the lobster. I was a little nervous initially because I'm not a lobster fan, but I was blown away by the presentation & overall flavor. Finally, we had shared the dry aged ribeye, which came in different sizes, but we opted for the 22oz. I will say, it's $8/oz, so the price definitely is expensive but the quality is unmatched. You're going to spend some money here, but the service all around is well worth it. Such a great first time farm to table experience. We'll be back.

We were super excited to try January at Southall because everyone had raved about it, but we had a horrible experience! We spent almost 3 hours at dinner and ended up asking for our entrees to go. We saw our waitress maybe 4 times during those 3 hours and waited about 30 minutes every time we ordered a drink. The party next to us who started their dinner well after us finished before us. We spoke with the manger, but we were very disappointed with her lack of remorse for our service. We will not dine here again.

This was our first visit to Southall and January. We are from Nashville, so familiar with the dining scene in town. Overall, January offers an elevated experience with beautifully prepared and presented food and drink, with a little room for improvement as they grow. We enjoyed two cocktails, the apiary and another rum based drink with mezcal - both cocktails were visually stunning but my wife and I both agreed they were far too sweet/syrupy. The mezcal in the second was completely undetectable. Not amazing for $20 each. The food was very good. They were out of the rolls everyone seems to order ($14!) so we started with chowder style oysters and lamb ribs. I personally liked the lamb rib with its tangy almost sour glaze. The char was awesome and they were cooked to perfection. We also had the lobster small plate which was nice - a half lobster in chunks in a sweet buttery sauce. For mains we had the arctic char and short rib. The skin on the fish was perfectly crisped, and the meat was light, texturally spot on. The green goddess sauce was a nice complement to the fish. The short rib was visually beautiful, covered in a fragrant green curry and accompanied by leaves, basmati and kimchi. Like the lamb ribs, the char on the short rib was to perfection. I only wished the meat was a little more tender. It was borderline fork tender - still very good but a little short of 10/10. The sommelier was very friendly and helpful pairing wines with our mains, and even let us try a few samples of a few of his more unusual picks for fun. If you're looking for a sophisticated place with impressive ambiance and artfully prepared plates, this is the place. The price definitely reflects it however and considering many of the other top notch restaurants we have been to in Nashville, this was among the most expensive meals we have had. I think this meal was as much or even more than Audrey and June. Just a fair warning.

The food was fine, but not worth the insane waits they put us through for each course. It took over an hour to get two appetizers (dinner rolls and a simple salad). We were so frustrated and tired we just had them pack the entree to go and couldn't even consider dessert. The ambiance is nice and the server was lovely, but the timing was a major issue and the food wasn't good enough to make up for it.

We had a wonderful dinner this past Sunday evening, at January, at SouthHall. The Parker House Rolls were truly Ahmazing, and we also had the delicious oysters for our appetizers. We chose the zucchini and the trio of beets for our second course, and they were both extremely delicious! For our main courses, we had the pork chop and the short ribs. Again, both were prepared to perfection!! Our dessert was a delicious peach tart, which we decided to share! I had the signature Apiary and my husband had a glass of red wine, with our dinner. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience. From the moment we entered, we were able to enjoy the beautiful view over the property as we were seated by the window. The space is beautiful and a special shoutout to our waiter, Barrett, and his co-worker, John, who were both so friendly, kind, attentive and exceptionally knowledgeable about how the food was prepared. They took such good care of us and we will definitely return for another fantastic dining experience!

Best meal we've ever had in Nashville - just let the chef and sommelier plan your meal.
