    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    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.
