Located in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood, Henrietta Red is an acclaimed oyster bar and restaurant. It boasts a welcoming barroom, spacious dining room, oyster bar, and a temperature-controlled, enclosed patio.

Henrietta Red’s approach to dining centers on fresh, seasonal dishes intended for sharing, fostering an inviting atmosphere ideal for meals with familiar and new friends.
Our menu highlights local TN produce and responsibly sourced seafood, offering an extensive variety of oysters from coast to coast.

Henrietta Red was named one of America’s 50 Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit, one of GQ’s Best New Restaurants in America, and a James Beard Foundation Awards Semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2018. Chef Julia has been recognized as one of the Best Young Chefs in America by Robb Report and as one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2018. She was also a 2019 semifinalist and 2020 Nominee for Best Chef: Southeast by the James Beard Foundation Awards.

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.

Everything was sold out by the time we got there and we had to put in an order within 5 minutes of being seated.. our reservation was 1:45 (which open table let us book), and the kitchen closed at 2 . We felt rushed and didn’t get to order any of the 4 or 5 different menu items we wanted to because they were sold out. Not a good experience at all.

Hi Lucy, I am so sorry your brunch experience was less than ideal. I apologize that you felt rushed and we were out of a number of items. Hopefully we can have you back again in the future to enjoy some of our brunch favorites and make sure you have a great time.

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!
Henrietta RedResponded on February 12, 2025
Thank you so much for your review. Our sincerest apologies for the delay from the bar. We are working hard to provide excellent service every day and hopefully it will be much faster on your next visit. We can't wait to have you back!
