This was our favorite spot during our 5 day trip, our first to NYC. Our 3 kids (12, 8, 7) loved every bit of this experience - from the food to the vibe. Don’t miss this great spot, 12/10 and they’ve already asked to go back tomorrow!

Henry's End is a gem of a restaurant. The food, service, and charm never disappoint. I love introducing friends to this delightful Brooklyn oasis. There is something for every taste and dietary preference: wild game, fish, pasta, salads, and more. And the wine list is an award winner. Mark and his staff make you feel at home.
