The top 25 restaurants in Nashville in 2024

Tennessean, November 2024

Mack: You know what makes an interminably long wait for food a bit better? Servers who seem genuinely excited to bring you your food. The last two times I've visited here the food has come out very slowly but, from brunch to a pre-show dinner, it's always exceptional. This is your spot for incredibly fresh seafood and some of the best oysters you can find. I'm obsessed with the mustard butter-roasted oysters, though the green curry may be better. And yes, brunch server, Sunday morning bloody marys are worth singing about.
Brad: This is Nashville's best seafood restaurant. Now, Mack, you might argue that The Optimist, also in Germantown, holds that title. All I know is that I love, love, love how fresh the fish is at Henrietta Red. I love the dishes the chefs make, and I love the bright, open dining room. Also, the last couple of times I had dinner here, we were served reasonably quickly. Then again, I tend to eat around 5 p.m. like the good (almost) senior citizen I am.
