• Steakhouse • Midtown

Housed in a glorious Southern mansion in the heart of Music City, Jimmy Kelly’s continues to be the standard by which all American steakhouses are measured. Founded in 1934 while the country was in the throes of the Great Depression and just one year removed from the repeal of prohibition, Jimmy Kelly made a promise to himself and his diners. Simply put, he would serve a great steak, a generous portion of whiskey and insure the service was always attentive. Making good on that promise has been the cornerstone of the restaurant’s success and enabled it to survive and flourish. Now over 80 years later and operated by the third generation of Kellys, it has earned a reputation as one of the grand old restaurants not only in Nashville but the entire southeast. Come anytime and enjoy a great steak and a generous portion of whiskey!

Rooted in the traditions of regional cooking, Henley celebrates quality products made by American hands. That starts with the hand selected bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels that populate our drink program and extends to our rich appreciation for the bounty available in the American South. The atmosphere evolves as you move through the space: bright and breezy on patio, hushed and moody in Snooker. As for the inner sanctum--Henley’s coveted Rabbit Hole--well, you’ll just have to experience that for yourself.

Such a great night! Our waitress was so attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were fabulous and they have returned to the "old" corncake recipe! Portions were generous and steaks were cooked to perfection. I forgot to mention the shrimp cocktail! They were the biggest shrimp I have seen at a steakhouse in a while. We had a wonderful dining experience.

Amerigo's is always top notch all the way around. It was a go-to for my dad and I for years before he passed away and it's still a go-to for my wife and I today many years later. It's as consistent as it gets
