What’s the best thing about doing business in Middle Tennessee?
The Southern hospitality and warm welcome that we have received since opening Joe Muer Seafood in Nashville has been incredibly humbling and hands down the best part of opening our first location out of Michigan. We are also particularly excited to debut Nashville-inspired menu offerings while continuing to do what we do best: providing fresh seafood from the finest purveyors across the globe.

Who is Joe Muer Seafood Nashville, and what should we know about you?
Joe Muer Seafood is an iconic name in Detroit, Michigan, since 1929 and is well-known for serving sustainable and exceptionally fresh seafood. The Joe Vicari Restaurant Group took over the historic restaurant’s brand in 2012 with two locations in Michigan. Owner Joe Vicari fell in love with Nashville upon his first visit and searched for years to find the best location for the fine-dining seafood spot. Now open in the conveniently located Capitol View district of Nashville, Joe Muer Seafood’s kitchen is spearheaded by elite culinary techniques with Master Chef Daniel Scannell and Chef Jim Oppat. Joe Muer Seafood’s Nashville location is open for dinner service from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Golden Hour is available on weekdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. For more information, visit joemuer.com/locations/nashville and follow on Instagram @joemuerseafoodnashville. To make reservations, call (615) 433-6837 or reserve on OpenTable. Reservations for the holiday season are available to book in the main dining room or private dining room. Joe Muer Seafood is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

What is unique about your business that makes you stand out?
The restaurant has over nine decades of tradition and history that foreshadows the fine dining experience that guests can expect at Joe Muer Seafood. It has also been named Best Seafood Restaurant 11 years in a row by HOUR Detroit Magazine, which is representative of the exquisite cuisine you will enjoy when visiting this first fine-dining restaurant in Capitol View.

What’s your biggest goal for your company this year?
This year, we hope to continue establishing personal connections with the Nashville community as they experience Joe Muer Seafood for the first time. We are proud to welcome guests for a variety of occasions, such as our weekly Golden Hour specials, regular dinner service, and private dining areas.
