Absolutely STELLAR. My fiancée and I had never had a proper oyster so we stopped by Henrietta Red for a quick Sunday brunch, and my word it was a transcendent experience. The oysters and their accoutrement were SO delicious!! A fantastic chorus of flavors and textures with every oyster. My palette isn't refined enough to tell the difference between each oyster, but they were all phenomenal. We also got the Caviar, the shrimp polenta, and of course, some truffle fries. Genuinely no misses across the whole meal. And our waitress was the kindest woman ever. She explained the oyster meta very clearly and helped us curate truly one of the best meals I've had in Nashville. Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Henrietta Red - Caviar - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I mean, where do I start! My personal favorite fancy way to dine! Exceptional food and cocktails. Great happy hour deals. Try "my special dinner": a dozen of happy hour oysters and a Vespa! Service is great, good people, professionals and what they do and treat your orders with attention. Ambiance is fresh, beachy vibe of costal hospitality and love. Great date night venue but also I come here with my toddler for a mommy and baby dates or by myself and the mood is just right. read more

Henrietta Red - Happy hour - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place was great, somehow I got out without anything from the raw bar, but I don't think I actually missed it since everything was so good. We were seated in the back room patio, and at first I got really worried since it was in the nineties and super humid, but pleasantly it was airconditioned and had some low speed fans so it was pretty comfy. The bench seating was firm, but plenty of pillows, so, although seated a little high, it was great. Chairs were fine as well. Service was great, our server was super friendly and really knew the menu and could speak not just to what we asked, but also made some great suggestions. Now, pretty sure this menu is super seasonal, so my choices may not be available when you read this, but highlights: Wood Fired Bread with Anchovy butter: solid, crusty (but not too) with a rich whipped butter, devoured quickly, but enjoyed the light smoke char. Snapper Crudo: Okay, the peaches threw me when I read the menu, but they were fantastic! Just a little spice on the agua chile, perfectly cured fish and really nice presentation. Tomato Salad: Perfectly ripe and sweet, the cherries and olives were easy to confuse until you bite into them, but they were both fantastic Wood Roasted Carrot: the carrots were a little inconsistent in size, and thus in softness. They were all good, but some were absolute heaven Octopus: generous portion, and perfectly cooked. The wood fire was not overbearing as it didn't taste smoked or burnt. just a great dish. Parisian Gnocchi: Didn't interest me on the menu, ordered as a recommendation and even though by this point I was not at all hungry, it was fully devoured. The snapper was great, however we did enjoy the Whiskey rebellion, an old fashioned and a tommy's margarita, so this dish was fantastic, but the memory is a bit fuzzy. Desserts are a not to miss, and the peach cobbler (foreshadowed but the fantastic peaches in the crudo) delivered in a great way to end a great meal. Thank you again for a great time!!! read more

Must try brunch spot in German town. This restaurant is included in the Chase Sapphire Reserve dining credit (as of June 2026) and it is totally worth it. We were able to try a few of their brunch menu options and loved them all. The oyster selection is phenomenal and the descriptions they provide are really helpful and accurate! My favorite was the breakfast sandwich! I can't wait to come back and try out their lunch and dinner as well! read more

Been meaning to try this place - it's quickly turned into one of my Nashville favorites! Restaurant itself is located in Germantown and has a lively modern coastal vibe to it. We sat at the oyster bar, which was a cool spot to watch the kitchen in action. We ordered the whiskey rebellion and the gold rush for a drink - both good, but the whiskey rebellion was definitely better. We started with the octopus and smoked fish dip - both absolute must do's! The octopus was so unique - lightly fried and was served similar to calamari. The smoked fish dip was so fresh and flavorful - not your run of the mill smoked dip! For the entrees, we had the mussels and fettuccine with a side of carrots. Mussels were good, but as expected with this dish. The fettuccine was seriously fantastic - you gotta try this one! Living just a couple blocks away, I am excited to have a new favorite within a stone's throw. Can't wait to go back and order new things! read more

Really fun place !! Highly recommend attending for celebrations. They actually printed out menus celebrating my friend's birthday which was such a cool touch. Street parking is pretty accessible and they have a small parking lot a short walk away. Their menu is excellent and offers so many options. They recommend sharing and ordering a few different plates. The risotto really took my friends and I by surprise & the gnocchi was delicious. Not a lot of vegetarian options but the kitchen was able to make some modifications ! read more

I had a birthday dinner here with a friend and I think it might be my new favorite restaurant! I didn't know if be able to find good oysters so far from the coast, but I was proven wrong. The space was so beautifully decorated and the attention to detail was mind blowing! They had menus with "happy birthday" printed on them, they automatically brought us a glass of champagne to toast, and were so attentive and timely with bringing food out. I literally can't wait to go visit again! I also love that they do happy hour for the oysters where the week nights from 5-6pm and weekends from 1-2pm a chefs choice of oysters are $2 per shell. I can't recommend this place more! What I ordered: -Happy Hour oysters (it was the Murder Pointe ones when we went) -Beef tartare -Gnocci -Caramel Chocolate Tart read more

Really cool place with top shelf service. Need space for a private function, the back room is perfect. Can't miss if you are stopping for a quick one by yourself or meeting some people, this is the answer for both. read more

Celebrated my birthday here. They kicked things off with a complimentary glass of bubbly and a designated birthday menu - both nice touches. My boyfriend and I shared: + Green curry oysters + Tomato salad + Gnocchi + Cobia crudo + Peach cobbler Best dishes were the tomato salad and gnocchi. Also really liked the dessert. So why not a 5? Wait between courses was super long and not all of the food was a hit. (The crudo had nice presentation but the flavors weren't there... maybe that type of fish is just meh?) But service was great and the gnocchi is really a standout. I would return for their famous oyster happy hour!! read more

HR never disappoints. Whether sitting at the bar, or a table. Service is top notch and you can expect anything you order will be expertly prepared. We have easily consumed a couple hundred oysters in our years coming to HR. Every one tastes incredible and I can count on one hand the amount of times we've had a piece of shell. Incredibly impressive. Don't bother going anywhere else for oysters. read more

Henrietta Red - Best place in Nashville for oysters - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Overall a very nice spot. The bar room when you walk in has a really great set up with lighting and ambiance. If I lived closer, I would definitely enjoy meeting up with friends regularly at this bar area! Main dining is a bit brighter, clean, crisp. A lot of great oyster options. The warm bread and anchovy butter seemed to be a general dining offering from our server, before we even saw the menu, but was actually a menu order; the anchovy butter was a bit too much for my taste, but the bread was amazing. Steak tartare was a non traditional set up & tasted great. Having the separate bread order went well with this as the steak tartare is not served with such. We went with main menu items of braised pork gnocchi and pork chop. The pork chop was a bit tough, but the sauce for it was spectacular. The gnocchi dish was lots of flavor and an impressive dish overall. read more

We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and we had a lovely time! The team even printed "Happy Anniversary" on our menus, which made us feel extra special before we even placed our order. I made our reservation for 5:30 PM so we could catch the tail end of happy hour. The drink specials are decent - although you should note before arriving that only one variety of oyster is $2 each during happy hour, and it's not any oyster for $2 like we incorrectly assumed. We shared a plate of a dozen oysters, and everything tasted fresh! I love that they have offerings from across the country. After that, we worked our way through several dishes from the regular menu, including the Delicata Squash salad, the King Trumpet Mushroom, the Wood Roasted Cabbage, and the Whole Trout. The Delicata Squash was my favorite dish by far ... I've truly never experienced an autumnal salad quite like this one. To my surprise, the Trout was also a standout for me, as I'm not the biggest seafood lover. It was buttery and full of flavor without tasting fishy in the slightest. For dessert, we enjoyed the Toasted Marshmallow Crémeux. There were actually several savory components to this dessert, which balanced out the sweetness to create a delightful finish to our meal. It's gorgeous and modern inside the restaurant, with a large window into the kitchen where you can see the wood-fired oven. Like other reviewers mentioned, it does get a bit loud inside, but not enough to detract from such a memorable meal! read more

Good- fettuccine was cooked to perfection; octopus was soft and moist; oyster was sweet and fresh Bad- poor service from server; bread service was a huge lump that you had to cut it yourself (they can't cut it???); grouper was slightly over cooked; king oyster mushroom- taste like any other mushroom read more

Went to brunch last Sunday. Still thinking about the Egg Toast, the portion size was plenty, delicious creme sauce, fluffy eggs and the sour dough bread was incredible- sourced by Dozen. Would go back just for that. London Fog Cold Brew was unique but a bit too sweet for me. read more

Visited on a Saturday during Happy Hour with my sister and got oysters and the gnocchi to split. The oysters were fresh and due to happy hour one type was $2 per oyster. There was only one wood fired oyster option - green curry oyster - which was delicious. We ordered two plates of it. We each ordered a drink which was $10 because of happy hour, we decided to add the gnocchi after seeing the table next to us order it and it was delicious and after the oysters the perfect meal to split between the two of us. Service was great, everyone was super helpful and we were celebrating a birthday and the menu had Happy Birthday on it. The restaurant was about 50% full and filling up as we ate but still quiet and cozy. Would recommend and would definitely return for the oysters! read more

Just simply fantastic bday dinner for a friend. This was a while ago and I just want to say, we had a wonderful time here with delicious foods and fantastic service in a simple but elegant down to earth vibe place.

Awesome hotspot! Happy hour is only 1 hour from 5-6p but it is totally worth it if you can catch it. Got the only oysters on happy hour which were the murder point from Alabama and they were clean, not briny and butter, just how I like them. So got lucky on getting the kind I like. Also had to try their green curry and Sichuan chili oysters and they were fantastic. All the oysters paired perfectly with the cava. Service was so good and was checked up on when needed. Place had nice comfy lounge seatings by the bar read more

Unfortunately, I don't understand the hype. Service left a lot to be desired. Taylor R had an objection to almost everything I asked. Including asking about swapping squash types in a dish. Then was short/snippy when I asked if there were any off menu sides available (a la potato/rice etc). The answer was no. So, poor service. Inflexible menu options and small portions. The sunchokes in the scallop dish had a sauce that was bitter. Photos show a green sauce in the scallop dish, but mine didn't have it. Uneven sear on the scallops. Drink was not brought to the table until I asked a different server about it. Will not be returning. read more

We walked in on a lark for a Saturday brunch and immediately loved it! At first, I was concerned about what appeared to be a limited brunch menu but with a little imagination put together what turned out to be a kick ass experience Snapper crudo with peaches, basil and crushed peanuts was the best I've had...polenta side was awesome! Burger was perfectly done, juicy, not greasy...would love to come back for dinner sometime.... read more

Coming from California, I was super disappointed by their weird dishes. I normally LOVE quiche and would always order it, but here it was not good at all. The cheese they use is Fontina, which was so overpowering and salty, the quiche had no mushrooms or spinach in it, and I ate some of it, but couldn't get most of it down. The coffee was like mud, and even the server agreed they have the worst coffee, he can't drink it either and said he'd take it off my bill. I know they require reservations way in advance, but I was shocked at what the draw here is. I think someone said they had a good write up, and apparently that has been bringing in the customers. read more

Didn't have reservations, so came here when it open to catch a seat at the bar. Ambience is very chill not very loud and moody with the lighting. The food was great. My favorite dish hands down was a gnocchi. Followed by the scallops and risotto. Pork came out pretty late so to me could be that we got full. It just didn't hit the same, but I did love the sauce that came with it slightly on the saltier side, but does balance everything else our server was great at attentive and everybody that we interacted with was pretty pleasant read more

Top service and the freshest food in a casual and warm environment await you at Henrietta Red. We had the best date here. I'm new to eating oysters, and I enjoyed the variety of flavors and tasting notes. My main course was whole trout. Wow! This dish has complexity and depth. The fish skin is super crispy. The dill was a bit strong, but the endive gives a nice alternative bite to the rich sauce. We finished dinner with the seasonal peach cobbler. What I loved was the familiar flavors mixed with new: corn ice cream, cardamom, and sweet biscuit. read more

I have been meaning to try this and am glad I finally did! I made a reservation for 530 for a few friends and we were able to catch the end of happy hour. I had the French 75 from their happy hour which was such a steal and was refreshingly delicious. We also had a few oysters from the happy hour menu which we enjoyed. The staff was kind and offered lots of great food recommendations that helped us with our order and we ultimately opted to get several dishes which we shared. The Mesclun Salad was definitely the highlight of the meal for me, truly one of the best salads I've had in a while. It had fresh strawberries, basil, hazelnuts and goat cheese at the bottom that just tied the dish together all too well. The beets were well cooked and seasoned and the roasted carrots were also good, blending sweet and spicy in such an unexpected way, but I would probably skip these next time. There entrees were a bit of a mixed bag for me. We had the gnocchi which came with tender pork, but I felt like the dish was missing something and it just didn't hit in the same way the starters did. Meanwhile, the fettuccine was great with some crispiness from the caramelized onions which gave the dish a surprise crunch and the flavors mixed well together, though the portion was a bit small. I loved the calm atmosphere of the restaurant as well. Overall, I am glad I tried this as the salad alone was worth it, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back here. read more

Friends in CT recommended this place so we put it on our list and it did not disappoint. They have a parking lot which was key. Fun interior, room in the back for a private party. Noise level is lively but we were just two so could hear each other. Super service! Our server recommended great dishes and was very attentive, we were never rushed. Even gave us a list of recommended music venues! Fellow Jumbo, although many years after I attended Tufts! And the food...sunchoke salad, copia ceviche both inventive. Highlight was the monkfish!!!! Chocolate dessert was also awesome. Great dinner, would highly recommend! read more

High scale establishment (even for non-Nashville standards). Tonight's menu didn't have any red meat entrees - not sure how common occurrence that is. Service is polite but mediocre and slowish. Wood fired bread ($7) With anchovy butter, it was good, but the fact that you have to pay $7 for a small portion of well salted but not exactly blowing-your-mind bread doesn't sit well. Oysters ($3.5-4.5/ea) There's a sushi style order form just for oysters so I chose four different kinds. They're all delicious and fresh but quite small in size. I could have easily eaten 8 without hesitation. Beet Salad ($20) With tahini, mint, wheat berry and mizuna. The tahini makes for a very creamy, almost gooey texture - it needs a crispy ingredient to balance it out Whole Trout ($42 With leeks, arugula, boquerones, and beurre blanc. Wine list is diverse and imaginative, yet compact and delightful to peruse. With so many other options in the Nashville area, it would honestly be quite some time before I returned to eat here. That's all... read more

FYI: This review is solely based off of happy hour! Such a great experience. After the Sounds game, my friend and I just wanted to hit a quick happy hour and this was close by. I love oysters, but she is a little bit wary of them. Henrietta Red changed her mind! The $2 happy hour oysters are a great deal and the Tommy Margarita and happy hour daiquiri were as well. Our waitress was so nice and very knowledgeable on their menu. The restaurant itself is so beautiful and has such a nice open and airy field to it. The couple next to us had gotten the spaghetti as a part of their meal and it looked delicious, we asked them about it and they raved. So I will definitely be back to Henrietta soon. read more

I initially went to Henrietta Red because I was looking for some good crab dip. Reviews raved about this dip, but unfortunately they no longer have it. I ended up getting a mocktail, the smoked fish dip, and fish&chips. The smoked fish conserva and mocktail were both ahhhmazing! The fish and chips not so much, but I only you it in case I hated the dip lol. Leah was amazing, she was attentive and knowledgeable. I'll be returning in the future. Lastly I was coming from work so I had on scrubs, and was concerned I'd feel super out of place but I didn't. Next time, though, I will definitely go dressed different. read more
