    We celebrated our 15 year anniversary, food was great, service outstanding, host was super kind and friendly. We ordered the Lobster pot pie (good amount of lobster in it) it was delicious, presentation was awesome, we also ordered the buttered sea bass, it was cooked perfectly, we had corn pudding as a side dish that paired nicely with the sea bass.

    Really superb! A very special place that brought back memories of meals at the Detroit & Bloomfield Hills restaurants in MI. I brought my friend for her birthday and the elegance, service & food just blew her away. Love the lobster bisque & the scallops, crab-stuffed flounder, tomato side and magnificent coconut cake. Just fabulous! Thank you for making my friend's birthday very special.

    The food this visit was 50/50 and the service nearly non-existent. The rice under the poke bowl was cold, while the portion of fish on top of the rice was served hot. On a previous visit I ordered the Zuppa di Pesce and LOVED it. This time it was a totally different preparation and less flavorful or appetizing. The waiter suggested the stone crab claw appetizer, but failed to mention the MKT price (of course, we should have inquired!). Granted good crab in season IS expensive, but this felt a little over the top. Our waiter started out great. Very friendly and personable. Unfortunately, he must have taken a break shortly after our appetizers were served as he totally disappeared. The manager stopped by our table before the main course was delivered and apologized for the long wait and then returned again after the meal and said the dessert was on the house as an atonement for the slow service. There were 4 of us but we only ordered 2 desserts to share and both were exceptionally good. I'll give it another try, but there are too many great restaurants in Nashville to settle for less than good food and attentive service.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Sherry. We’re glad to hear that some aspects of your meal, like the stone crab and desserts, were enjoyable, but we’re truly sorry to hear that the food and service didn’t meet expectations. We understand your disappointment and we apologize for the inconsistency. We regret that the service didn’t live up to our usual standards. While we’re glad our manager could step in to make things right with the dessert, we understand that the experience was less than ideal, especially given the price and the overall occasion. We appreciate your feedback, and we will work to improve the consistency of both our food and service. Thank you again for giving us another chance, and we look forward to providing a seamless experience on your next visit.

    Third time at this Joe Muer (we dined at their Detroit location previously); this time, we brought friends who were first timers. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and a new job between the 4 of us, so we asked for (and received) a very nice table and were provided with exemplary service by Sid. Joe Muer’s seafood offerings are the best in town; highly recommend the halibut, scallops, and lobster bisque. The wine list is extensive, and the desserts (particularly the coconut cake)! Topping it all off was excellent piano entertainment.
    Joe Muer Seafood - NashvilleResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for choosing Joe Muer to celebrate such special occasions, Lisa. We’re thrilled to hear that you and your friends had a memorable experience and that Sid provided exemplary service. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. It's also fantastic to know that the seafood, wine list, and desserts—especially the coconut cake—were all highlights of your meal. We’ll make sure to share your compliments with the piano player as well—music always adds a great touch to the evening. We truly appreciate your continued support, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next celebration!

    We always enjoy our time at Joe Muers. The food is always cooked perfectly 👌, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere is dark but inviting. If you don't like seafood, you will after eating here!
