Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Julia Sullivan

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Julia Sullivan’s chic Germantown bistro is what seafood dreams are made of—the James Beard finalist dazzles with an elegant menu starring the likes of sustainably sourced oysters, Tennessee paddlefish caviar, and a saffron-topped red snapper with Carolina gold rice. Snag a seat at the raw bar for a front-row seat to why GQ named this one of 2018’s Best New Restaurants in America.

Always a great experience. The crudo is a must! Each time we go we get a unique bite with bold flavor profiles and a new twist on simple classical ingredients.

It was loud and the bar was backed up. That aside, the server was upbeat and informative, the food was fresh and flavored in unique ways that tasted real good. HR is still the best oyster bar in Nashville!

We have a veggie forward meal. Unlike what you can get almost anywhere else in Nashville. Everything was great. A few of the dishes were just jaw dropping. My buddies had never been before. They were totally converted. They were good on allergies.

Hi Josh, Thank you so much for the review. We really appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. We are so thrilled that you and your friends enjoyed the food! Our Chef really appreciates hearing that. We hope to have you back again in the future!

We have been to Henrietta Red many times and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. This time, it was shockingly bad. The food was mediocre, the menu options were not great, and the service was abysmal, despite a nearly empty restaurant. Such a waste of several hundred dollars.
Henrietta RedResponded on February 6, 2025
Hi Melissa, we are so sorry to hear that your experience at Henrietta Red was not up to our standard and was subpar. As you know, we take pride in providing a memorable experience for our guests with excellent service and food. We would be happy to talk further and try and make it up any way that we can. Our general manager will be reaching out to you directly. Thank you so much for the feedback!
