Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Franklin

Outstanding display of holiday decor accompanied by 3 world class dishes or duck, beef tenderloin and Risotto. The duck was tops and one of the best duck dishes I’ve eaten in quite some time. Well done, Geist!

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!

Our dinner last night was perfection! The blue fin tuna crudo was a perfect bite. Nevy was our bartender and made our anniversary so special. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Loved the food. Loved the service. Loved the vibe. The tables in the front room are a bit close so we ended up talking to our neighbor table since we were elbow to elbow. Luckily they were great. Will be back. Loved this place.

Overall I would recommend this steakhouse while at the Mint. Some of the seasonings (mostly in the Truffle Macaroni) may have been a little quirky but the steak was outstanding. The beer I requested was out but the waitress stated she could get more. After about 20 minutes my husband went to the Oasis bar just around the corner and returned with my beer in less than 5 minutes. We ordered the molten lava cake to go…it was not bagged or silverware was not provided. But other than those few things it was a great place.
