Loved our meal at The Henry! Our server, Ally was wonderful! She was so knowledgeable about all the menu items and was so efficient! I had the Shorts Ribs, per her suggestion and my husband had the Sea Bass-both superb! Highly recommend!

Loved Sofia and the Tacherons French Chardonay. Would be worth considering adding some sound muffling ceiling or wall pieces.

This was my first visit and it did not disappoint! It is a lovely restaurant with a great layout and ambiance. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. The place was bustling at noon on a Weds. I was happy we had a reservation. If you can reserve a table in the center patio area, that is what I would recommend! There are a lot of options on the menu to choose from. We had the Brussels sprouts for starters and salmon dinner for our main course. Both were very tasty with fabulous flavors and accented each other. We finished with a chocolate peanut butter desert. Yummy! Can’t wait to return to try more from their menu.
