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!

After a number of daytime visits, we went in for dinner. They had live music on Thursday. Started out a little loud but they did turn it down a bit allowing us to have a conversation. Was busy, only seeing people come in a steady stream. Food was great with a varied menu. Saw a number of families with kids. Park in the garage around the corner. With all the food options in Scottsdale, this place is certainly one of the favorites.

The white cheddar BBQ burger is fantastic. I appreciate the option of a salad instead of fries. Thanks, Isabel for great service.

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.

I love the lobby bar. Hip, sexy, alive and the food to match. I love the music making for a perfect ups ale lounge feel. The caviar and seafood haven’t disappointed me yet and somehow they make some of the best French fries Ive ever had!
