Located in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood, Henrietta Red is an acclaimed oyster bar and restaurant. It boasts a welcoming barroom, spacious dining room, oyster bar, and a temperature-controlled, enclosed patio.

Henrietta Red’s approach to dining centers on fresh, seasonal dishes intended for sharing, fostering an inviting atmosphere ideal for meals with familiar and new friends.
Our menu highlights local TN produce and responsibly sourced seafood, offering an extensive variety of oysters from coast to coast.

Henrietta Red was named one of America’s 50 Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit, one of GQ’s Best New Restaurants in America, and a James Beard Foundation Awards Semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in 2018. Chef Julia has been recognized as one of the Best Young Chefs in America by Robb Report and as one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2018.

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.

    The oysters were overpriced and very lackluster. It was not a good value at all. Also they don’t have standard saltine crackers as an option but some sort of crispy home made cracker that had to be broken off into pieces. Most of the dishes were vegan. Of all the oyster locations I’ve been to, this was my least favorite. However the cocktails were great.

    The food was excellent and our waiter was great. They also provided our entire party with a complimentary glass of champagne as we were celebrating several birthdays. However we were very disappointed that they were sold out of the quiche and crab cake sandwich which they featured as their signature dishes. They were also sold out of the fried oyster sandwich. Their menu is not that extensive so to be sold out of three dishes is not acceptable. Poor planning.

    Turkish Eggs blew me away! Small detail, but they were served in a warm plate and my coffee mug was warm. Love that. Hannah was a lovely server.

    New restaurants may open their doors every day in this town, but Henrietta Red goes the distance and remains among my top to places to go for a memorable meal. As usual, our dinner this time around was consistently delicious and inventive across the board. I'm not even a scallop fan but I knew that in this kitchen's hands, they'd be divine. And not for nothing, I'm still dreaming about the roasted sunchokes. I'll be back soon!
