Celebrated my mom’s 88th birthday. Andre was very helpful with items on the menu and extremely courteous. Lovely dessert for my mom and DIL as this was her first time dining at Mere Bulles.

A few bumps in staff change but management stood up and corrected. I understand things happen but it is obvious The Henry desires you to have a great experience.

We love this quaint little town restaurant that reminds me of NY or European eateries. The food was amazing, fresh, and well prepared. The ambience is cozy but not invasive. There’s a hum of conversations but not loud and jarring to disturb your dining experience. If you’re looking for fine food, a charming setting, old world feel and place to celebrate a special occasion or have a business dinner, we recommend Common Ground, Berry Hill.
