Five Senses Restaurant, Bar & Catering

Pound for pound one of the finest restaurants in greater Nashville. Easily the best Murfreesboro has to offer. Fantastic rotating menu with modern American cuisine featuring unusual takes on classic dishes. Nice wine selections and a bar known for heavy pours. Try the airline chicken.

We have been eating at Five Senses since it opened 21 years ago. It’s hard to imagine, but last night’s meal was the best we’ve ever had there. How can it keep getting better and better year after year? The staff is incredibly sweet. Our waitress, Stella, was a dream. And every single drink and dish was to die for. We had the tuna wontons and the mussels and split the halibut. Every bite was incredible. We ended the meal with a fabulous piece of cheesecake that they personalized with a birthday wish and candle for my mom’s birthday. Kudos to the entire staff. Can’t wait for the next time.

Five Senses is where you go to unlock the sixth sense, and contrary to pop culture beliefs, it's not what you think. The food is divine. Let this be an experience to please the palate. I will not make recommendations, either. Trying is believing and even when it isn't my favorite, the experience of taste is worth the price, which is somehow still fair. I want to go every time the menu rotates. Thank you for helping me see dead people. Plot twist. M. Night would be proud.

We only go here for date nights, because we are never disappointed. Their 2025 Spring Menu *their menus are seasonal* has some incredible appetizers. 😲

Our experience was excellent from the moment we entered.
Our martinis were the perfect start. All seafood was cooked to perfection. The muscles were not overcooked at all, the halibut was amazing and the shrimp parpadelle was incredible. Sydney took great care of us checking often to confirm we were satisfied.

We will go back, which is a very good indicator

Wine wednesday, a glass of wine is $5
Very Limited selection of wine, this is not fine wine such as chateau latour or opus one, more like table wine

The tuna wonton was really good

Only there once and we have not tried any dinner entrees, just small plates

I could give more stars but if i have not eaten an entree it is an unknown

Everything was great from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. My wife and I made reservations for our 15 Year Anniversary. Five Senses really made it a special time, we even had our own Personalized Menues wishing us a Happy 15th Anniversary and printed our names on the menus. We will definitely go again. Five Senses is great for special occasions and even regular dining patronage.

Five stars across the board!
My wife and I arrived about 15 minutes before closing and were still warmly welcomed, which set the tone for a great evening. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the menu inside and out.

The only “complaint”—and I say that loosely—is actually more of a compliment: I wish they offered a prix fixe tasting menu. The food was so impressive that I would’ve loved to sample more dishes in smaller portions.

We left absolutely pleased and already looking forward to our next visit.

Confused about the reviews on here and how this has 4.7 stars.

I have to say, my experience was quite perplexing. With prices hovering around $40-$50 per plate, I expected a high-end ambiance and quality to match, but I was left feeling disappointed.

Upon entering, you're greeted by an interior that feels more disjointed than chic. The lack of tablecloths and the old wooden laminate tables – some of which were peeling and flaking – gave a rather unrefined vibe that didn't correspond with the upscale pricing. In addition the random 2 cheap looking abstract canvas paintings from Ross on the left hand side of the wall was very random being the only thing on the wall and oddly placed.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The pork belly dip was a real letdown; it seemed to have been reheated in a microwave, resulting in very hot and cold spots that hinted at frozen or refrigerated ingredients rather than anything made fresh.

The tuna dish was bland and nearly absent of flavor, with the pistachio garnish barely noticeable. The asparagus was a soggy, flimsy side that was served cold, further dragging down the overall quality. The yellow sauce at the bottom was somewhat buttery but lukewarm, which didn't do much to elevate the dish.

As for the steak, while it was decent, the pairing with carrots felt cheap and a bit odd. With such a limited menu, one would expect the restaurant to showcase their expertise, and have outstanding dishes but that didn't happen here.

One of the more surprising aspects was the cornbread, which appeared to be straight from a JIFFY box, served with sweet butter. It didn't align with the supposed high-end experience and left me wondering about the overall quality of the ingredients. On top of that the corn bread was nearly cake and didn’t need anymore sweetness.

On a brighter note, I did enjoy the whiskey coffee drink—it was quite good and the highlight of the meal.

In summary, my experience at Five Senses was underwhelming. Between the confusing decor, lackluster food, and overpriced menu, I wouldn't be inclined to return. Even though I had a gift card with a remaining balance, I’d much rather explore other dining options. If you’re considering this place, I recommend you look elsewhere for a more satisfying meal. Overall, it gets a D from me. You can find better food and better quality at much cheaper restaurants.

To highlight, several hours later me and my party experienced an upset stomach. So bravo. Thank you.

Wow everything we ordered was amazing, who knew Mboro could have such a great restaurant. Prices are worth it for special occasions and we look forward to returning in the future.

Food was amazing. Staff were helpful and friendly! Would definitely come back again.

We were visiting from out of town and wanted a place for a nice birthday dinner. Everything we ate was a winner. Crab cakes exceptional and the scallops were so tender they melted in your mouth. Waitress made a great wine recommendation and was very personable without being ever-present. (I wish I could remember her name. All I can remember is that she recently moved from Chattanooga area.).

My husband and I have been to Five Senses twice since moving to Murfreesboro. Every dish is thoughtful, delicious and beautifully plated. Exceptional service both visits.

Came here for Valentines Day. Food is incredible. 3 course dinner with very attentive servers. This is our second time here and its worth every penny. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an upscale place to have dinner in the Boro.

My husband took me to this restaurant for Valentine’s Day, and we had an amazing dinner. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Everything was perfect—we ate and drank wonderfully. We will definitely be back!
