    One of the best meals my family has had in a long minute! We chose the spot for my father’s retirement celebration and the atmosphere was perfect. While steaks were the focus, there were plenty of other offerings if people wanted to venture out. Waitress was incredibly familiar with the menu and offered amazing recommendations based on what we told her we liked. Beef Wellington appetizers are the way to go (would come back for those alone). Portions for shareable sides were perfect for the table. For the main courses, the specialty seemed to be the various steaks. Several of us ordered these and they were cooked exactly as requested. Others in the party ordered from the other available entrees. Not one bad dish was had. Excited to go back and try what else they had to offer.

    Excellent food and ambiance. One small glitch in that the meals came out before the appetizers. Staff were apologetic and it really was not a big deal in grand scheme of things

    A few bumps in staff change but management stood up and corrected. I understand things happen but it is obvious The Henry desires you to have a great experience.

    Wow!! The best service we have received in Nashville. They went above and beyond to make our anniversary/promotion celebration dinner one to remember. I called beforehand to request champagne to toast at the table and they already had it covered. On the way there, my car broke down which made us an hour late (yes we left the car and still went to dinner…lol). I spoke w the host multiple times are she was SO helpful and reassuring that our table would be waiting for us….it was. When we got there, they were just as concerned about our car as we were, and just as happy about our anniversary. It was special. THEN, when ordering, we were deciding between two dishes (two different times) and our waiter actually brought both out to us as a “gift”. Great food and great service!!!
