    Had a lovely birthday meal with my husband and parents - the food was delicious and the service absolutely on point, caring, friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor is excellently executed - it could so easily be OTT and too much and yet it is exactly enough to be a lot and yet very tasteful and classy - it has all of the magical and festive feel the Christmas spirit should give

    With all of the new restaurants opening in Nashville, we hadn't been to Henrietta Red in a couple of years. I was reminded last night on what delicious and uniquely inventive dishes they offer. The beet salad had layered flavors, as did the amazing chicken liver pate, served with wood-fired bread. The gem salad was fresh, crisp and had a thick, flavorful caesar dressing with crunchy bits of toast--amazing. The fried eggplant had a nice light and spicy crust, and the juicy eggplant interior burst in your mouth on the first bite--a sensation worth trying. The spaghetti with grilled veggies and ancho-chili oil--how brilliant and tasty. We plan to go back more often--still one of the top restaurants in Nashville!! Easy to park too! Friendly and courteous staff.

    Great place. Spacy and friendly. Good food. Not a large selection of wine but don’t be afraid to ask if they have wine not on the menu.
