Excellent food and service but when we asked for a biscuit we were told no, they only make a limited number and they could not spare one for my wife. Brunch was $100 for two people and they could not spare one biscuit. Will go somewhere else next time we are in town.

Perfect spot for brunch. The host was great and accommodating (somehow our reservation was misplaced). Our waitress knew the food well and genuinely enjoyed talking about the food. This is a must stop if in Nashville!

Came for a private party with about 20 of us. Service was excellent as was the food. Servers explained the source and background of each dish and the preparations highlighted the fresh, local ingredients. They were able to adjust the menu for the vegetarians at the table, but the dry-aged ribeye was amazing. Be prepared to pay a hefty price though.

Our party of three dined at Husk last night while visiting Nashville. We were excited to try this restaurant so took a late reservation they had available. While the atmosphere was nice and the food was good, those things just couldn’t make up for the poor service we had. Our server was basically absent. She took our initial drink order timely, but after that she kept disappearing or chatting with another table whom I’m assuming she knew or thought she was going to get a large tip from. At 9:30 pm, I asked for extra red peppers for my hummus appetizer and her response was “the chef needs to save the red peppers in case someone else orders hummus tonight”. I had no idea there was a great American red pepper shortage. And since there probably is not, why couldn’t the chef either A) prepare himself better for a Friday night or B) send someone to buy some extra red peppers at the grocery store? Seems like a simple solution to me if you’re charging $16 for a plate of hummus. The hits kept coming, forgetting to bring drinks until after the meal was over, etc. and every time we looked for her, she was chatting away. The food really is good but if you get one of their disinterested servers, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth. And from other reviews, it sounds like they’ve got a few of those there.

The first hint of a problem was when we arrived 12 minutes prior to our reservation time of 5:45. (The place opens at 5:00.) We were sent outside to sit on a bench, then at precisely 5:45 we were ushered in to a practically empty dining room (one other occupied table). Why the delay in seating? Can you spell "snobbery?"
As for the food and service: Staff were friendly, but we had to plate our own shared salad and appetizers (most class restaurants would split before serving). The shrimp & grits (barely warm) and chicken entrees earned a "meh" at our table, vastly overpriced, but the beef tartare and strip sirloin earned good reviews. Final note: It was at least 45 minutes between the time appetizer plates were cleared and the arrival of entrees. Major disappointment!

The service was very good and our drinks and appetizers were equally as good. Our big disappointments were that we had reservations and sat in a cramped lobby for 20 minutes and our entrees were both well below average. The chicken and beets dish was extremely salty and the pork entree was tough and chewy. Unacceptable for this type of restaurant. We’ve eaten here many times and this was not the norm and completely unacceptable. Not sure I’ll be back soon with so many new options in Nashville

What a delicious brunch. We were able to secure our reservation on Resy for Sunday, Jan 2 at 12PM. We were running a little late and tried to call but nobody picked up. We got here at 12:15 or so and were seated pretty promptly. They had single use menus printed with the day's offerings. Our server was Linden and he was on point all day. He explained the Plate of Southern Vegetables and we ordered drinks as we perused the menu. We settled on a Plate of Southern Veggies as our shared starter. My gf got the egg plate and I got the fried chicken. The plate of Southern Veggies was 4 different things - things I couldn't describe just 1 day later because there were so many things and nuances but there were hush puppies, mustard greens, grits and squash. Each thing was so nuanced and deelish. When we finished, we got our mains. My fried chicken had a big piece of Texas toast with a egg on top and a cup of collard greens. My guess egg plate had sausage, fried potatoes and a biscuit with jam. Her plate was delicious. My plate was also good but I have to be honest and say I have had better fried chicken elsewhere - not a knock on Husk, just speaks to my good fortune of having enjoyed super fried chicken elsewhere. We had no more room for dessert though as our food was very filling. 3 drinks, 2 entress, 1 app, tax and tip - the bill came out to about 141 bucks. We would revisit for dinner next time we come to Nashville.

At the risk of sounding pretentious, if you are from a city that has fine dining, skip this restaurant.Â
Service is a solid 4.5. Wine is 2-3 stars (and for the quality, very expensive). Cocktail was good, a 4.
Appetizers, pimento cheese a 4. Ribs a 3.
Dinners, a 2 and a 3. portion size was absurdly small for the price. 30+ for effectively 1/2 an trout filet (billed as two filets, but really 1/2 a normal filet, then cut in two) and average taste... and a average serving of rice. And 40 for what would be two strips of steak (think the size of a strip from a steak fajita), cooked medium rare despite a request of medium, and 15 pinto beans (not kidding, we counted), left us having to eat a small follow up meal elsewhere, despite dropping 180 for 2 people.

Husk is set in an old Nashville mansion so the dining areas are broken up in to 3 and 4 table areas. This makes it much more intimate and quieter. The bar is vibrant with a great selection of Whiskeys and cocktails. The dining is excellent with a menu that changes regularly depending on what fresh local provisions are available. I have had their trout on two different occasions. Each time was prepared differently but each time is was mouth watering. My wife has had a great pork dish and a wonderful streak. The service is quick, knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely make this a place to see again

Husk Restaurant in Charleston, SC is one of our favorite restaurants. So when we found another Husk on our trip to Nashville, we were excited and made reservations. Maybe we overvalued the name but our mouths were watering as we entered.
The restaurant is obviously short staffed because the service was interminably slow. The menu and the wine list were disappointingly meager. We could find no redeeming feature and so we wasted our only free night in Nashville with a dinner that I can only describe as stunningly mediocre.

Way overpriced. We left having paid $112 for 2 entrees and 1 dessert. Food is good but not great. Shrimp and grits that was barely the size of an appetizer cost $32. Mosquitoes on the back patio. Service was just okay. My water glass remained empty for several minutes at a time (problematic when it is 90 degrees outside at 6 PM). You can get much better food in Nashville for a significantly lower price.

The restaurant underwhelmed us in a number of areas. The food was above average, but by no means outstanding. Things were somewhat overpriced for what we were receiving. I was charged $14 for a non alcoholic beverage that I could have bought for under $5 in a store. Our server was continually trying to upsell us, there were two of us and she strongly suggested that we have at least 2-3 starters before our main meal. We won’t be going back.

We went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and it started out well enough with the printed menu saying Happy Birthday. My first course was the steak tartare which was too salty and covered with something akin to tempura flakes. But okay, I ate the steak without the flakes. It was not good, but doable. I then had the shrimp and grits which was so over-the-top flavored that I could not eat more than a bite, terrible. Sometimes the new chefs seek to make their dishes so "original" that they forget about texture and taste. My husband had the "pork chops" which turned out to be perhaps pork shoulder, again not good. Thank Goodness, we went to the Chef and I the next night, it was amazingly great.

We chose this restaurants to celebrate a birthday and we were hugely disappointed in the food. It was over salted and over-flavored to the point where the shrimp and grits dish was totally inedible. The restaurant was attractive enough and the service was fine, but the food is NOT.

Well the first impression is everything. Waiting for over 30 minutes with a reservation isn’t a great start. Being shushed by a hostess and treated with nasty attitudes also not great. Maybe the hosts need a refresher course on HOW to host at an upscale restaurant. The night wasn’t completely destroyed cause the food and drink certainly made up for it. While the menu changes every day cause of farm fresh I’ll just say the food was unbelievable. From the flavors that are fused together to the look and textures and little bit of love put into every dish. We got the beef tartare and I’ve tried beef tartare in several different countries and have to say this was probably the best I’ve ever had. Phenomenal. The beef and shrimp dinner were excellent as well as the southern vegetables. Cocktail mixes were also excellent. Wait staff was on point and very kind (maybe could give a few tips to the front of the house)!
