    Fabulous food in an historic venue dating to the early 1700's. Ambiance and decor are very special. Some food dishes and recipes go back to Colonial times. Try the Chicken Pot Pie that was a favorite of George Washington. Excellent dish. A menu with a wide variety of choices from salads with shrimp or crab or tuna and many vegetable and meat options.

    We live in the neighborhood and having Henry’s End as a go-to restaurant is amazing. The food is always delicious no matter what we order. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. And if you enroll in their birthday program you get a discount on dinner and they give you a little extra birthday love for dessert. We love dining here and recommend it to all our family and friends.

    Firstly, when we entered the restaurant we were greeted by their General Manager, Laura. When I gave my name, she immediately recognized that my family frequents Jean-Georges restaurants. It was an incredibly nice way to enter. I love his restaurants. It's not just the food. It's the vibe, decor, service, cocktails, and, of course the food. ABC Kitchen in Dumbo is no exception. My two adult children, my wife and I had an incredible lunch outside on a perfect Father's Day. Go...you'll love it. Great service, food, decor. And...when your done going, try their other restaurants (JoJo, The Fulton, ABC Kitchen - FlatIron, ABC Cocina, ABCv, Perry Street, etc.).

    We came here for the $30 three-course Restaurant Week dinner. It was incredible, and an incredible bargain. The food was outstanding and the service was perfect. The only thing we didn't like was the noise level -- it's a large, high-ceilinged space and it was loud. Other than that it was perfect. Oh, the neighborhood (Gowanus) is a bit strange -- if you drive it's all good, but if you'll need to walk to the subway after dinner, it might get a bit dicey.
