We made a reservation in the restaurant and ended up sitting at a high top in the bar. Super cozy and comfortable. Ordered a steak and the 3-course meal off the restaurant menu. All was delicious! Our server was a hot mess but everything else was lovely!

Absolutely SUPERB. First time back since the new ownership. Service was truly outstanding, from the moment you pull your car up to valet, to the moment you are given your keys back. We celebrated my husband's birthday, and the personal touches to make it special for him were just amazing. Thank you so much for such a memorable evening. Food was absolutely fantastic. I absolutely cannot wait to return!!!

We had such a wonderful experience at The Henry! My daughter, son, and I really enjoyed our visit. The staff was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and accommodating, especially with my little one! My son had the best time and absolutely loved the coloring pages, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s always nice to find a place that makes dining out with kids feel easy and enjoyable. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and an overall lovely experience.

    My wife and I had a great time at the pumpkin carving event! 🎃 The food and drinks were great, and the whole event was thoughtfully put together. You could tell a lot of care went into the details, and there was just the right amount of Halloween spirit to keep the fun going. We had a blast and would definitely do it again!
