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.

First visit and was a great meal. Oysters, smoked fish, fried eggplant and snapper, all fresh and well prepared. Just the right level of service and attention. Now on our regular list.

We have dined at Henrietta Red several times. We have always had enjoyed our time but this time was different. Our waiter didn't come to take our drink order for 20 minutes. Also, she didn't explain anything or offer any information about the menu. She did ask if we had been there before and we said yes, but then she said okay and walked away and come back 20 min later to take our drink order. She seemed rather bothered to wait on us, and we are a nice group and leave good tips. The food was good but didn't blow us away, like they have in the past. Maybe they've gotten a bit too big for their britches. So many other fabulous places to eat in Nashville. Not sure we'll be back.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing evening dining at Henrietta Red. We shared each plate & the dishes we ordered were all amazing. The oysters were some of the best oysters we’ve ever eaten. There is so much care and love put into the food and the experience here.

We visited for Happy Hour and oysters! They were icy cold and super delicious! Wine selection is great with a wonderful selection of skin contact wines. We did not stay for dinner so can only comment on our Happy Hour experience. We sat in patio area which was lovely.

The spaghetti set that is on the menu right now is killer. Other standouts were the squash dish and the beef tartare. The spaghetti squash made that tartare dish. Thank you so much for an incredible meal!

Food - minus small oysters - was delicious. Lack of espresso offering at brunch disappointing. Waitress not welcoming or engaging.
