Judith is a new American tavern pairing warm hospitality and the cooking of James Beard Nominated Chef Julia Sullivan (Henrietta Red in Nashville) located in the quiet area of Sewanee, TN near the University of the South. The name is an homage to Judith Ward Lineback, the first woman to matriculate into the University in 1969.

As Sullivan’s first solo project, Judith will feature a seasonal menu of creative and approachable dishes including a selection of small, shareable plates perfect for the bar crowd. The beverage program mirrors the food with accessible wines and a cocktail list created by Henrietta Red's Beverage Manager Patrick Halloran.

The warehouse-style building, previously the Old Steam Laundry which serviced the University since the 1950’s, has additional space for private dining and parties. With the goal of becoming a meeting place for students, faculty, tourists and the Sewanee community alike, the restaurant will be open for dinner from Thursday - Monday.

    Delicious meal and cocktails. Our third visit. Still waiting to be surprised by a slab, or even a sliver, of moist, rich chocolate cake. Please. Just not a pie guy, although others enjoyed the offering.

    Phenomenal in every way. Service was kind, attentive and impeccable. Every course was mouthwatering.,from the fantastic warm sourdough loaf with chili/garlic oil, to the trout rillette to the steak and the sublime fresh trout dish. Wines and cocktails were terrific too. Julia Sullivan is a master chef with a heart and Sewannee is lucky to have the restaurant Judith there. A culinary treasure.

    Everything on the menu, from the cocktails to apps, salads and entrees were all outstanding. Best meal in Sewanee, TN in a long, long time. Maybe ever! Service was also top notch! Thrilled that Julie brought the Judith concept to town. We LOVED it!.

    This was our second visit and everything was as amazing as the first. We tried the Tavern Steak and Schnitzel and both were amazing. The favorite part of our meal remains the homemade soft serve vanilla ice cream.
