We were first time diners at Treehouse and we were all extremely impressed with our meal! We started with the brussel sprouts and the shrimp appetizers. Both were so delicious! Then we had the halibut meal and the chicken meal! Again, out of this world! We ended our meal with the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and it exceeded all of our expectations again! Our cocktails were great too! Five stars all the way around.

Franklin

About the restaurant

A seed-to-fork dining experience inside Southall Farm + Inn in Franklin Tennessee.

Southall’s signature restaurant, January, brings the spirit of our pursuits across the farm together – the mindfulness that drives biodiversity in what we produce, a reverence for the cycle of life that inspires sustainability, and our desire to share the bounty.

The January experience, with its thoughtful creativity and leisurely, high-touch nature, bends with the harvest, promising a novel and unexpected meal with each visit.

It is, quite simply, the culmination of our dream…dinner, as it should be.

Led by Chefs Andrew Klamar and Nate Leonard

You'll won't want to eat anywhere else after you leave. My partner and I have not stopped talking about January's menu since we left three days ago. Food tastes weak in comparison to the unforgettable flavors the chef created. The food was the freshest you could get. It was surprisingly busy for a Thursday, and a little louder than we expected it to be, but there's nothing that can be done about that. It makes sense people want to eat here. John and Barrett were wonderful and knowledgeable about the menu, what's in each dish, and created a lovely experience. We're already talking about going back to January once we save up again

Love this place- it’s great with free parking, ability to reserve online. Only things to make it perfection- it’s a wee bit expensive (I guess tourists drive prices up) and wow- it gets LOUD. A friend sitting across the table couldn’t hear what we were saying on the other side of the table. Looks like they’ve tried to put some sound absorbing things on the wall- but there’s so many hard surfaces, guess it’s not enough. I’ll still keep it has a convenient place- but wouldn’t try it with a large group due to that.
