Our first time at The Henry , we had family in town with a 1 year old so we wanted something that has a little bit of everything while still maintaining good quality food and service with an ambiance that supports dining with an infant. The Henry didn’t disappoint! Our server was very informative , cocktails were EXCELLENT and well crafted, especially the Carajillo!. We had the yellowtail sushi and short rib potsticker appetizers they were both very tasty. Highly recommend the Bolognese dish and the Korean skirt stake as well! Noise level totally manageable we were able to have a normal conversation without having to yell over the music. We will certainly return to try other dishes in the near future!

I loved this restaurant. The food is always exceptional and I appreciate the variety. Service wasn’t as polished as usual, but we weren’t in a hurry. Looked like a short staff do our server was all over the place.

Our server was an A+. Table was always cleared/ kept orderly and water and drinks from bar were always kept full. Dinner order was 100% accurate. Server was knowledgeable. Our server gave us good information about specials and desserts . The red fish special was great. Party of 7 for a business meeting and the setting was perfect for this.

I found this restaurant googling menus and someone posted a video of a fancy steak dish that could NOT be resisted!! Upon arrival we were surprised with a sax player while we enjoyed meals and drinks. They make em strong!! The menu is a bit pricey but well worth the service and food!!
