Where All Five Senses Come Alive
Since opening its doors on November 18, 2004, Five Senses Restaurant & Bar has offered Murfreesboro a refreshingly original dining experience, crafted around the concept that cooking is the only art that engages all five senses. Created by the dynamic brother and sister team of Mitchell and Mollie Murphree, the restaurant was born from a shared vision: to bring a fresh, local, and health-forward approach to dining in a growing and thriving city.
Nestled in Georgetown Park, Five Senses was intentionally placed off the beaten path—designed to be a destination that diners seek out when they want something truly unique. That intention has held strong for over a decade, with the restaurant becoming a staple of the Murfreesboro dining scene, known for its thoughtful menu, impeccable service, and commitment to local sourcing.
A Menu Inspired by the Seasons
The hallmark of Five Senses Restaurant is its ever-evolving seasonal menu. The kitchen team works closely with regional farmers and producers such as Haskell Evans, Simply Pure Sweets, Brass Horn, The Hammery, and Pinky’s Micros to source the freshest ingredients available. This collaboration allows them to rotate their dinner, cocktail, and wine offerings four times a year, reflecting the best of what each season has to offer.
Fresh seafood, locally sourced meats, and vibrant produce are at the core of every menu, showcasing the restaurant’s dedication to quality and sustainability. Whether it’s a tender cut of beef, a perfectly seared scallop, or a bright, herbaceous salad, each dish is crafted to delight not just the taste buds but the eyes, nose, and even ears—with sizzling pans and clinking glasses setting the scene for a sensory-rich experience.
A Thoughtfully Curated Dining Experience
Five Senses Restaurant doesn’t just serve food—it curates an entire experience. From the moment guests step through the door, every element is designed to engage and delight. The ambiance is modern yet welcoming, with a layout that encourages both intimate dining and lively conversation.
Service is a cornerstone of the Five Senses philosophy. Staff are trained to be knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and drink they serve. Guests consistently return for the exceptional hospitality, as much as for the culinary creativity.
Why Five Senses Stands Out
Mitchell and Mollie Murphree’s vision has grown into a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant’s commitment to seasonal sourcing, local partnerships, and an immersive dining experience sets it apart in a competitive culinary landscape. Murfreesboro diners know that when they visit Five Senses, they’re getting more than just a meal—they’re engaging in a celebration of local flavor, culinary artistry, and heartfelt hospitality.
Whether it’s a special night out or a spontaneous weekday treat, Five Senses delivers an unforgettable journey through food, atmosphere, and service.
