Restaurants near Elysian Fields Shopping Center

The Henry is truly a hidden gem in Nashville’s laid-back 12th South district. From the moment you step inside, you feel as if you’ve been transported to an upscale East Coast brownstone neighborhood restaurant. The design is absolutely stunning—elegant and timeless with dark woods, leather wallpaper, and a classy, old-world charm. It’s the perfect blend of high-end sophistication and relaxed Southern hospitality. We were seated in the covered patio, which felt like a lush garden oasis. The bright, airy space, complete with high ceilings, abundant greenery, and stylish furniture, created a wonderful contrast to the cozy elegance of the interior. Walter, the maître d’, greeted us warmly and gave us a great introduction to the restaurant. He even offered to personally assist with reservations if availability ever seems limited on OpenTable—a thoughtful touch that reflects the restaurant’s commitment to exceptional service. Armand, who took care of our table, was equally outstanding. His professionalism, warm personality, and genuine smile made us feel right at home. He was attentive without being intrusive and kept us engaged with friendly conversation throughout the evening. The food was just as impressive as the atmosphere and service. I had the burger, and it was absolutely delicious—the meat was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We also enjoyed the brie and cranberry on sourdough toast appetizer, which was the perfect start to the meal. My husband had the chopped tuna salad, lightly seared and beautifully prepared. Every bite was fantastic. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we can’t wait to return. As Nashville locals, we’re thrilled to have found such an elegant yet approachable spot that we’ll definitely be frequenting from now on!

Overall the service and meal were great, but the prices are extremely high for the quality food provided. It’s great for a one time experience but I can’t say I’ll come back.

Our go-to local resto. I get the Funghi pizza every time. Waiter was very accommodating and attentive. Daughter would love to see the butternut squash anolini back on the menu!

Urban Grub has become a solid go to for a great night out on 12 South. Consistently good service, great food and an atmosphere that is fun yet not too noisy or nuts. They always get it right.

Had the salmon and my husband had the prime rib. Both were excellent, as was the service. As we had earlier finished a wine and bourbon tasting at Belle Mead, we decided to stick with mocktails. Both were amazing! I had the blueberry faux-jito and my husband had the cherry ginger fizz. If the recipes for these two mocktails are available, I’d love to have them! They were the best mocktails we had tasted anywhere.
