This popular Nashville eatery, nestled in the 12 South neighborhood, offers a delightful American dining experience with a strong nod to vegan and vegetarian options. Diners consistently appreciate the beautiful ambiance and the attentive, friendly staff, contributing to its solid 4.3-star rating. While the service can sometimes run a bit slow, especially with cocktails, the quality of the drinks, like the highly recommended espresso martini, often makes the wait worthwhile.

Why Travelers Love The Henry

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.3 / 5.0(320 reviews)

The ambiance is beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Everything seemed to take forever, including the drinks. They kept saying they were backed up. The cocktails were delicious, try the espresso martini. As for food, it was good, not great. Everything seemed to come out cool, not hot. Our waitress apologized quite a bit. The table didn't think the hot honey was really hot. The potstickers, which our waitress said everybody loves, fell flat. Perhaps it was an off day. A moderately lighted upscale restaurant with a tiny full bar. It was fairly full and loud, even at 6:00 pm; reservations recommended. They did seat us early. The patio is covered, airy, and a delightful. Live music filled out the vibe. The menu is eclectic and the sushi is good. Caution, the crab meat in the Rainbow roll and the Cal Roll maybe spicy to some. The Grilled and Chilled shrimp was excellent. The wine list is short, but well curated. Service was very good. One of the handicapped stalls was partially blocked by the restaurant's trash can. My husband and I recently stayed at the Gilmore and finally got to try The Henry—it did not disappoint! My husband had the Egg White Turkey Omelette and a coffee called The Butcher—he loved both. I enjoyed an everything bagel with fresh fruit, a glass of orange juice, and a coffee to go called The Dropout, which was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be returning the next time we’re in town!

I can’t say enough about this restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible, the service was top notch, the drinks were the smoothest you’ll ever have, and the food was divine. Best restaurant experience I’ve had in Nashville and I’ve been here for 35 years. A must try!

It’s got a bar vibe with decent food. Our server was polite but slow and they sat us right in front of the musician so forget about any table conversations. It was meant to be a celebratory birthday dinner but the Henry fell short of our expectations.
