    The Henry is a great spot for a delicious meal and a fun night out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the service is top-notch. The food is absolutely amazing. I've been here several times, and I've never been disappointed. The jalapeno margarita is to die for, and the Korean Prime Skirt Steak is one of the best steaks I've ever had. The flourless chocolate brownie is also a must-try. Overall, I highly recommend The Henry. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a night out with friends. Here are some additional things to note: * The Henry is located in the heart of Dallas, so it's easy to get to by car or public transportation. * The restaurant has a large outdoor patio, which is perfect for enjoying the warm weather. * The Henry is open for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not to check out The Henry. If you're looking for a great dining experience in Dallas, I highly recommend it!
