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.

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.

    I’ve always loved Henrietta Red and usually have a great experience, but this visit was a bit disappointing. We found a hair in one of our dishes and, after bringing it to our server’s attention, it was replaced—but not comped. Coupled with slower-than-usual service, it felt like a small gesture of goodwill, like removing the item from the bill, would have gone a long way. I’ll definitely return, but this particular experience fell short of their usual standards.
    Henrietta RedResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Alexa, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience at Henrietta Red for Easter. As you know that is definitely not our standard and must have been some miscommunication on our end. We truly apologize and you should see an email from our management team reaching out to you directly. Thank you!

    This was one of the two worst James Beard dining experiences I’ve had. It took an hour and a half to get our dinners. Our server didn’t stop back for the last half hour of our meal even after we complained about the timing to a food runner. My dinner was overly salty and my husband said his fish tasted like cat food. Not sure why it all went wrong but it was a huge miss for us.

    A group of us went for brunch, and we would rate it a 7/10. Not our favorite brunch spot in Nashville. We got the monkey bread to share, and it was burnt. The inside had a good taste, but we couldn't eat all of it due to being burnt. I got the turkish eggs and enjoyed it. Two of my friends got the Okonomiyaki and really enjoyed that. Our least favorite item was the crab cake. It was rather small and way too salty. That is coming from people who love salt haha. Overall a good experience, but we were not wowed.

    Absolutely first rate food. Light and vibrant with unique yet familiar flavors. The cobia crudo was particularly well balanced but everything we ordered was fantastic.

    The appetizers we had were amazing! But, the tables were very close together and loud, which made it difficult to hear the person across from you. Loved that they had many non-alcoholic cocktails. Would recommend the Beet Toast and Beef Tartar.
