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.

    As a regular I went with the favorites, the tartare, spaghetti, caviar dip, crudo, oysters, and a little wine. Scallops are also amazing! Great dinner as always and such a great neighborhood spot.

    Henrietta Red's brunch was fantastic! It's my favorite brunch in the city. Everything from fresh oysters and incredibly creative savory dishes (more than just your normal eggs and bacon) to shareable plates and sweets! The Coffee Milk Punch is my favorite coffee cocktail in town and I loved their Pork Belly Polenta.

    HR is our go to for seafood in Nashville. Ella was great and the kitchen made amazing dishes. Dishes get changed every now and then. I like seeing something I haven't tried at a place I'm familiar. The new one to us was a smoked fish that was like a ceviche only better. Much more flavor. The main dining is loud. Can't get around that. We could still have a fun conversation. We will be trying the patio as temperature improves.

    Maybe it’s just me, but spending $40 on 4 small scallops, $16 on each cocktail, and nearly $5 per oyster is outrageous. We were a group of 4, we all got 1 drink, a dozen oysters to share, 2 starters and 3 entrees. Our bill was around $400 after tip, which would have been more acceptable if the service was up to par. Server barely came to our table which at this point I’m grateful for because they were a little too rude and quippy for my taste. Oysters are my favorite food in the world which is what drew us to this location. They were…okay. I never thought I’d dislike a “mushroom” flavored oyster, but trying just one turned me off to oysters for the rest of the night. Overall, I don’t think I will be back.
    Henrietta RedResponded on 13 March 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Jordan. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our service and the quality of our dishes. We take pride in our food and service, and we're disappointed that we didn't meet your expectations. We will certainly look into improving these areas and we hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, Henrietta Red Management Team
