Best Fun Restaurants in Hillwood / White Bridge

We loved our experience! We are new to town and Urban Grub was recommended to us. From the service to the beautiful raw bar and lovely desserts, everything was fantastic. The complementary valet service on a rainy January evening was a fantastic touch as well. We went for a birthday celebration and we will certainly be back!

First time brunching at The Mockingbird, and it was amazing! Fantastic service and standout dishes. Those Buns Dough—brioche cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting—were the perfect start. Sweet, indulgent, and unforgettable. The Rise and Shine (pork belly fried rice with a fried egg) was packed with flavor, and the Tots Alot (tater tots topped with pork sausage gravy) was equally impressive. Amazing food and service—can’t wait to come back!

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!

Neighborhood gem. We stopped by for brunch. Egg Benedict was excellent. Eggs perfectly poached served with breakfast potatoes. Husband had the French toast topped with fresh fruit & served with breakfast sausage. We also ordered Beignets served with a strawberry butter. Very good.

We had an incredible time with a fabulous server. The food was delicious and they are quick to serve. This is a great little restaurant to visit. 10 out of 10
