    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.

    I made reservations a month out for my wedding anniversary surprise dinner. Reservation making was easy and smooth, the deposit and price were all extremely worth it, the food was by far the star of the show, the wine pairings elevated the experience and complimented the courses beautifully. The ability to interact with the chefs while sitting at the bar highlighted their passion of the dishes they created. The exclusivity of dining in an intimate setting was perfect for conversation with my wife and guests around us.

    Our first visit to this place was incredible! Taylor, our server, was an absolute lifesaver. He gave us some fantastic recommendations and made sure we had the best time. The food was absolutely delicious! The pork chops were huge and bursting with flavor, and my wife’s fillet was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was to die for - it was so creamy and indulgent. We’ll definitely be back because there are so many dishes we still need to try.
