The Henry
★ 4.3 · 459 reviews Nashville Opened September 2024
A neighborhood restaurant and bar in 12 South
The Henry opened on 12th Avenue South in September 2024, a neighborhood restaurant and bar. 12 South has surprisingly little of that format, given how many people walk the strip on a Saturday.
It keeps a proper bar rather than a token one, which makes it a solvent option when the wait everywhere else on the block runs an hour.

Wonderful experience we came in for our Anniversary celebration. The Short ribs, the Crab cakes, and the BUTTER CAKE. All excellent, it did not disappoint. Our waiter Mr. Mondo, was great very personable. Many thanks to the General Manager Ms. Emily, she made our experience a delight, not only our experience, but I noticed she was very attentive to the other guest as well. It was nice to see. And last the gentleman playing the guitar, sang a special song we requested. You must try The Henry, we had a blast. Thank you all.

I had the short ribs. The flavor was amazing, but for the price, the portion could have been a little larger or served with a simple salad. Service was great and we were seated immediately with a reservation. Parking is a challenge, and they only validate for an hour. The main reason for leaving off a star is the place is LOUD. Would have been managable with 2 people, but at dinner time, it's extremely difficult to have a business conversation with a table of 5 or 6.

First time here, visiting from out of town on a work lunch..3-4...had a multitude of dishes as noted below. Let me start by saying our waiter was amazing, Arman! Very knowledgeable of the menu, able to give recommendations, stayed checking on us and just so personable!! For the food... guacamole dip was good, not a fan of pine nuts in my food and needed more lime and salt but good. Mac n cheese very very plain, not even a drop of salt or seasonings, this needs some work desperately! Pot stickers were really good and the yellowtail sushi was good but needs a bigger piece of fish and cut about half that rice off. Caesar salad was really good, perfect size and I was really happy with the grilled chicken I added to it. Typically when you get grilled chicken added to a salad it's very rubbery and dry but this was cooked perfectly and still juicy! Also ordered a ginger ale, can't remember the brand but it is something I have never had before and it has three types of ginger and was probably one of the best ginger ales I've ever had! Salmon, steak and hot chicken were all good but for my friends could have been better with seasoning on the steak and hot chicken could have been dressed up a bit more. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day, around midday on a Wednesday, no reservations needed. Overall not bad, definitely think it's worth a try if you're in the area.

We came here for lunch last weekend to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and this did not disappoint! We sat on the terrace, and the view was lovely. I got the Beverly Hills club with fries (get the truffle aioli), and my mom got the potstickers and Caesar salad. My sandwich was amazing! I’m still thinking it about lol! My mom’s food was great too. We can’t wait to come back!

Came in for a last minute reservation & was greeted by the most smiley, kind, and lovely hostesses. I was pleasantly surprised that I was given a lovely booth for just myself seeing that I was also 15 minutes late. I was informed of the current specials as well as which cocktails were fan favorites. I was shocked to know that they were serving specialty coffees at 8pm so I ordered The Butcher (I know how can you drink caffeine that late.) It was delicious. My server, Fuller, recommended that I get the bolognese and umami brussel sprouts so of course I ordered it. It was AMAZING. Ended the evening with Fuller personally boxing up my left overs. 10/10 experience. The food was great, vibes were high, and my server, Fuller, was excellent. I will be returning and requesting him!!!
