    First time to eat at The Henry. The staff was very personable, welcoming and attentive. Our server. Carlee was excellent; very informative and helpful. The menu is great and the food is excellent. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken and avocado salad and the butter cake with caramel sauce for dessert. The restaurant has a good vibe.  I look forward to eating there again. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary this past Saturday 11/23. Noted on my reservation, and they delivered. Complimentary champagne, sparkler in our banana pudding and a handwritten post card from the staff. Nichelle provided gracious service, and ensured that we were taken care of to the highest degree, she was an absolute delight. The entire staff was top notch from the moment we entered the front door. Don't miss this tucked away restaurant when in Nashville.
