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.

    With all of the new restaurants opening in Nashville, we hadn't been to Henrietta Red in a couple of years. I was reminded last night on what delicious and uniquely inventive dishes they offer. The beet salad had layered flavors, as did the amazing chicken liver pate, served with wood-fired bread. The gem salad was fresh, crisp and had a thick, flavorful caesar dressing with crunchy bits of toast--amazing. The fried eggplant had a nice light and spicy crust, and the juicy eggplant interior burst in your mouth on the first bite--a sensation worth trying. The spaghetti with grilled veggies and ancho-chili oil--how brilliant and tasty. We plan to go back more often--still one of the top restaurants in Nashville!! Easy to park too! Friendly and courteous staff.

We love nothing more than the ability to communicate to our staff that they're doing a great job, and comments like yours help us do just that. We hope to see you again soon!

    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.

    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!
