Husk

It's really hard to believe we've waited this long to try Husk. It's been on our "to try" list for forever and I'm glad we finally did. We had reservations for 5:30 because it was the only one left. We arrived shortly after 5pm and was seated immediately. Our waitress Amanda was amazing. Just the right amount of tentativeness. We both started with a drink, I ordered the Ghost in the Fog and my husband had a bourbon on the rocks. As we sat trying to figure out which appetizer we were going to try, we thought "go big or go home" and ordered two. We both love a good beef tartare so that was a no brainer. We also got the Kentuckyaki pig ears and they were soo good! Nothing like I expected them to taste like. As we were about half done with what we had ordered the chef had their alligator meatballs delivered to our table to help celebrate our anniversary. They were all so good. For dinner I ordered the Bear Creek Beef and my husband had the Manchester Farms Quail. We also ordered the Southern Plate of Vegetables! The plates consisted of a pumpkin and butternut puree, pepper onion and mushrooms, rice grits with a beet sauce, fried cabbage, and a marinated zucchini. The southern vegetable plate is neat, as each chef in the kitchen gets to contribute something to the plate so it's also different each week. And finally for dessert we had the Dark Chocolate Crumb Cake and it was to.die.for. It was absolutely so delicious. I honestly didn't have much more room for dessert but one of my friends Emily in on the pastry team so I couldn't leave without some sweet! Our whole experience was fabulous. One of the best meals and experiences we've had in a while. I hope one day there is a chance we get to dine with Husk again!

Top 10 meals I've ever had. We absolutely loved everything from the cocktails to the eggs, biscuits, catfish, hash brown was to die for!The house was so cute with such charm!!Four staff served our four plates of food to usOnly con is they didn't do anything special for birthday even though they knewWaiter was a bit snobbyIf I could have stayed there all day and ate/ drank I would.

Gorgeous experience! But voices carry so if you're a yeller, please don't go here.What a stunning place this is. We were seated promptly and just loved the elegant cozy feel of the room we were in. We ordered a few drinks and were delighted at how well crafted they were. I ended up ordering a French 75 because all the featured drinks seemed very sweet (I know most people like that). For apps, we shared the meatballs, the pig ears. Both were amazing. But if I go back I might just order myself several plates of the pig ears. So fresh and with layered flavors and textures. For entrees, we ordered trout and the beef. Both were excellent. We also had the southern veg plate and the biscuits. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly. For dessert we had the peanut butter blondie, it was fantastic, I especially love that there is no chocolate in it, usually peanut butter flavor is paired with chocolate and I don't like that. So I was thrilled about the peanut butter marshmallow combo. I look forward to returning to Nashville and visiting Husk again.

I've never been to Husk but it definitely a place I would try again. We were able to secure a last-minute reservation, and parking was free. It was interesting to learn about their pride in southern cooking and where they source their meats. The BBQ pork rinds were crispy and tasty. Although strong tasting, the country ham with horseradish sauce went well with the rolls. I thoroughly enjoyed the beef and was okay with the trout. Perfectly cooked but too salty for my taste. The only thing I did not care for was the upside down pineapple cake with ice cream. No flavor and had a mushy texture. I wouldn't recommend the outside patio for dinner. I think we definitely missed out on dinner inside this beautiful place.

I love this place. I've been to the Charleston and Savannah locations, so naturally I had to come here as well. We came to brunch before driving back home and it did not disappoint. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and the hummingbird cake from the first courses. These were probably the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The hummingbird cake was better as a dessert and was delicious. I ordered their breakfast plate and I was blown away. How they transform scrambled eggs and had browns is mind blowing. The flavor explosions were amazing. My husband got the Johnny cakes and they were amazing too, in the middle a delicious sausage patty and egg on top. I love that the menu is always changing based on available ingredients.We will of course be back!

I came here recently with a small group and thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The restaurant was very well-decorated and contemporary inside. Felt clean, bright, and upscale. The service was also extremely attentive, my table place was always wiped, my drink always filled, and we were checked on just the right amount of times.The food was absolutely delicious!!! Definitely the star of the show. I had the fried Johnny cakes and it was the perfect blend of sweet and savory breakfast. The steak and blue cheese dish was also very yummy topped with fresh baby tomatoes. The pimento cheese starter we had tasted very fresh and creamy, and the chips we were served were very crunchy and well salted. The breakfast plate had the best scrambled eggs I've ever had, perfectly creamy; also its hashbrowns and bacon were mouthwatering. The desserts were honestly just decent to me. The hummingbird cake tasted like a plain banana bread with cream cheese frosting, the peanut butter blondie was more marshmallow whipped cream than peanut butter, and the root beer float was average. Still, no complaints at all in the food department.Overall: amazing spot for a nicer brunch with family and friends if you're looking for fantastic food and a great atmosphere!! Looking forward to returning. Bonus- the music played there was very relaxing chill pop and R&B which added to the cool environment!!

What a great spot to try local cuisine. They use all local ingredients and you can tell it's of good quality. It's located in a historic home and it is decorated perfectly. The staff was very accommodating, especially with my allergies. They made sure that I could eat everything and they made accommodations if not. The menu is very eclectic but absolutely delicious. It was not released to see, but we were able to see previous days to get an idea. You definitely have to be open to trying new things going to this spot.The food was spectacular. I think my favorite part was the dessert, the peanut butter blondie. It was the most perfect sweet ending. I tried the trout because I kept seeing it on menus, and it was very good, not super fishy. You will definitely pay a premium price to come here. The food averages around $30 a plate. The drinks are also fairly expensive. It's a great experience with local cuisine and local flavors. I'd highly recommend it.

I had not been to Husk for several years simply because there are so many great new restaurants to try. But I was treated to a birthday dinner there Sunday night. Ben Norton has been named executive chef since the last time I was there and he is filling that role beautifully. Not pictured is our appetizer - meatballs made with alligator and they were really yummy - perfectly seasoned, moist, with a great dipping sauce. I had the trout, perfectly prepared with an outstanding sauce, served on a bed ofCreamy cheese grits. We shared the ample veggie platter as a side. Particular shout out to the cabbage dish! For dessert, rice pudding cooked in Earl Grey tea with lemon curd and crunchy honey comb on top. Bonus points for the birthday menu and candle in its own little dish since the dessert was shared.

What a great brunch spot (and I'm sure dinner too)!FOOD: spot on. Every bite is crafted and incredible. A perfectly filling and satisfying meal. I ordered the egg breakfast (I forget its official name but it came with eggs, bacon, hash brown, and biscuit). Every item was just so good. Their brewed iced tea was also great.SERVICE: very communicative and professional. They were even willing to help make a menu item dairy free for dietary reasons. AMBIANCE: since there aren't so many tables, the feel is very exclusive. The large beautiful chandeliers, garden out the window, and large ceiling and wall windows create an open yet elegant vibe.PARKING: There appears to be street parking nearby but we walked there.
