Five Senses 

 

The Five Senses Restaurant and Catering is “A Hint of Southern fare with a dash of French Cuisine.” Owners Mitchell and Molly Murphree opened Five Senses in 2004. The restaurant is located at 1602 West Northfield Blvd. in Murfreesboro, TN. Mitchell grew up in the food business and studied the Culinary Arts extensively. He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Food Science degree. After graduating from UT, Mitchell went to The Culinary Institute of America where he earned another degree.  Following that, he completed his internship at The PGA national Resort and Spa. In 2001 Mitchell worked as a chef in the world renowned Highlands Bar and Grill under the tutelage of Chef Frank Stitt. This restaurant was named the 5^th best restaurant in the United States. During this time Mitchell received the prestigious James Beard Award for culinary expertise. In 2003, he was a chef at BB Neals and finally he opened the Five Senses Restaurant and catering in 2004. 

It is easy to see the time and effort that has been applied for Mitchell to become a classically trained proper French Cuisine Chef. The Five Senses serves delicious food at the restaurant, holds parties, and caters to all size events. Twice a month, on the second and fourth Monday’s, tastings are held at the bar and cost $10 per person. Generally it is wine or beer, but occasionally they have chocolate, cheeses, and liquor. Check a head of time and make it an ‘event’ (stay for dinner after a tasting and receive 20% off your dinner).

The bartenders at the Five Senses restaurant are an exclusive group of super-bartenders. The training received includes all of the latest training on drink creations. This type of talent is found in the uber cocktail houses in Nashville. The Five Senses uses locally grown fruits in infuse the Vodkas served onsite.

Onsite and offsite catering is available. Buffets, lunches, brunches, engagement parties, weddings, annual parties, holiday get-togethers, receptions, and any other special occasion are no problem. Five Senses offers full service professional catering with no minimum number of plates. Inside the restaurant there is a private room with a beautiful fireplace available for rent.

The seafood served is the best seafood available. It is wild caught in U.S waters. The seafood is caught the old fashioned way; with a hook and line. Farm raised fish will not be found at the Fives Senses.
