Wow. We were blown away by the simplicity of the presentation with each mouth packed with flavor. We ordered as much as our stomach allowed us. My favorite dishes were the standout sweet corn barbajuan bites, the pate had the most beautiful presentation and was just as delicious as it looked, and the blueberry dessert. I’m so excited for this new addition to the neighborhood. Best meal I’ve had in Nashville this year. The restaurant itself was stunning, the interior design was so thoughtful, really paying attention to all of the details. Wonderful ambiance for a date. Super hip. The music was phenomenal I wish I could take home the whole playlist

In the biblical sense, I was not served this meal; this meal served me. I was anointed in the oils of citrus on the oyster, bathed in the umami of the tuna crisp, and saved by the steak (with secrete frites not on the menu). On the third day, the cheese desert rose again, and I was at peace.

What a great addition to the foodie scene in Nashville. In the second week of opening we anticipated some hiccups and a learning curve. No worries - our meal was flawless: the inventive dishes, the wine, our server - all absolutely flawless. We began with the Sweet Corn Barbajuan - this is one bite of perfect comfort food - the sweet corn shines in the dish, wrapped in a crust, topped with marconi pepper and a caper leaf. This was followed by a shareable dish of Coppa cotta (a French version of prosciutto) with tomato mostarda - pick up this French ham, place a couple of those yummy tomatoes in those thin slices and roll it up - lovely bites of food. Next came the porridge bread with summer blossom butter. The sourdough starter for this bread came from Rolf & Daughters then Junior has added their own twist. The Blossom Butter is exactly what the name says - perfectly seasoned butter with flower blossoms. This rustic treat is amazing. As we were reveling in these dishes, the wine steward brought us an extra appetizer because he was pleased with our wine choice (a Kelly Fox Pinot Blanc - highly recommend). It was the Tuna Collar Tostada with flower mignonette - so lovely. We then shared the Bluefin Tuna Nicioise Salad, a delectable combination of flavors - perfect tuna with lightly pickled cucumbers, soft-boiled egg, potatoes, lettuce, and a wonderful olive and mayo dressing on the side. As a side we chose the zephyr squash and vadouvan boulagere - one of our favorite dishes of the night. This dish was as tasty as it was beautiful - i would have sworn this was potatoes, not squash. Order this dish then dig to the bottom where you are rewarded with a French onion soup-like broth with perfect onions. We finished our meal with the Peach Tart Tatin topped with Walden Cheese (very similar to Brie). They allow the peach to shine in this dish, enhanced by the cheese with a thin crust of pastry perfection on the bottom. Junior is a shining star in an increasingly impressive food scene in Nashville. Right now, reservations are hard to get on Open Table because they are wisely limiting the seatings each evening. They will soon have full availability so keep checking back - this is a winner!

Great new spot. We went in with no reservation and got a seat at the bar. I love the open kitchen. The menu had quite the variety of options. The star of the show for me was the fish! I also really enjoyed my Manhattan.

Really enjoyed my experience. Love when owners take pride and work the restaurant. Service can make experience. On point. That martini service yaaas.

Dinner was great

What a beautiful space! So elegantly designed. Classic bistro feel. Enjoyed the menu top to bottom! Stand outs were the tuna tostada and coppa to start. Chicken was extremely tender with exceptional depth of flavor. Steak will melt in your mouth! Don’t skip the affogato to end your night. 10/10!

Super vibey new spot! The decor is sexy, the staff is attentive and the open kitchen makes for constant entertainment. Loved the tostada, wagyu, and peach tart. So tasty! Will definitely be back.

No need to wait--any new-restaurant kinks that are sometimes present are not an issue here. Whole experience was lovely. A great addition to the Nashville dining scene. Love the smaller dining room -- feels very intimate, energetic, and not too loud. We loved every bite of every course. The sweet corn barbajuan (savory fritters) and tuna tostada were perfect, inventive, with layers of flavor. The golden chicken might not have looked all that appealing when it arrived at the table, but it was incredibly moist and flavorful, and the sauce paired perfectly with the off-the-menu special fries. My husband is a big fry guy, and he proclaimed these among the best he's ever had: pillowy soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. We had the blueberry clafoutis for dessert, which was a nice, not too heavy ending. We sat at the bar, where service was terrific. The wine list is carefully curated, and the liquor selection provided some new-to-us local options, too.

Amazing service, food and ambience and would consider this one of Nashville's latest best restaurant Would definitely recommend

We loved it!! Amazing service and fun, inspired dishes. The small bites were super fun to try and the chicken was perfection
