Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Julia Sullivan

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Julia Sullivan’s chic Germantown bistro is what seafood dreams are made of—the James Beard finalist dazzles with an elegant menu starring the likes of sustainably sourced oysters, Tennessee paddlefish caviar, and a saffron-topped red snapper with Carolina gold rice. Snag a seat at the raw bar for a front-row seat to why GQ named this one of 2018’s Best New Restaurants in America.

    Maybe it’s just me, but spending $40 on 4 small scallops, $16 on each cocktail, and nearly $5 per oyster is outrageous. We were a group of 4, we all got 1 drink, a dozen oysters to share, 2 starters and 3 entrees. Our bill was around $400 after tip, which would have been more acceptable if the service was up to par. Server barely came to our table which at this point I’m grateful for because they were a little too rude and quippy for my taste. Oysters are my favorite food in the world which is what drew us to this location. They were…okay. I never thought I’d dislike a “mushroom” flavored oyster, but trying just one turned me off to oysters for the rest of the night. Overall, I don’t think I will be back.

We take pride in our food and service, and we're disappointed that we didn't meet your expectations. We will certainly look into improving these areas and we hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, Henrietta Red Management Team

    We were on the enclosed back patio, which was so great because it was much quieter than the interior of the restaurant! A great night.

    Overall a good experience and fantastic service. We were very disappointed that during happy hour you can order the fish and chips at a table. We love the happy hour menu for week nights/non-celebration meals and the fish and chips is really what makes it stand out. We really don’t understand why it’s only available if you are sitting at the bar during HH. Major bummer and the only negative of the evening. Oysters were great!

    Hi Hannah, I'm glad you enjoyed your experience with us. I apologize about the fish & chips. Hopefully we can have you back again soon! Cheers!

    In honor of restaurant week we ate the porch menu today which was a special menu. We added a couple dozen oysters to the front side. Wonderful experience. The Host stand was awesome in letting us change from 2 to 4 guests and then to 5 the night before. We all loved it.
