We arrived at the restaurant on Thanksgiving and our table wasn’t quite ready yet so we were sent to the bar to wait. We found a seat and ordered bloody marys. The bartenders were very friendly and we got our drinks quickly. They were very busy but their service was great!! When our table wasn’t quite ready we were taken to the table and seated. Once our food came it was hot and the portion on the plate a lot. Food was fantastic the service was great and the waitress was very friendly!! This was our first visit but not our last!!

First time to eat at The Henry. The staff was very personable, welcoming and attentive. Our server. Carlee was excellent; very informative and helpful. The menu is great and the food is excellent. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken and avocado salad and the butter cake with caramel sauce for dessert. The restaurant has a good vibe. I look forward to eating there again. I highly recommend this restaurant.
