    The Valentine's 3-course meal was truly a delight. The Wagyu beef tart was a wonderful combination of flavors, and the Lobster bisque was a comforting, smooth treat for our first course. For the second course, the NY Stripe steak with peppercorn gravy was so satisfying and rich. For dessert, Hubs was completely enchanted by the chocolate mousse, bursting with chocolate goodness, while the Strawberry cream cake evoked such sweet memories, showcasing the most exquisite strawberry flavor. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed, and the gentleman serving water was extremely thoughtful, refilling our drinks before we even had a chance to ask. It was a truly memorable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it—10 out of 10!

    Thank you for making this evening an amazing one for us. When I initially booked my reservation I didn’t know if we had to reserve a table upstairs as it wasn’t an option for me. We showed up and thought we were going to be seated upstairs, but was informed at the front desk that we had patio seating. I was somewhat disappointed. As we sat in the bar area dispirited, we were approached by the manager. I believe he was. Long story short, he went above and beyond to ensure that we had upstairs seating and it all turned out to be an unforgettable experience for us. Thank you kind sir! Your work did not go unnoticed. Sorry I didn’t catch your name, but we really appreciate what you did. We will always dine here again whenever we are back in Dallas. I’ll remember to reserve my table upstairs next time. 😊

    We had a wonderful meal last night. We had never been to Town Hearth but it was highly recommended by friends. We were not disappointed. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sides were delicious as well. We were told to see if Tim was available, and he was all he was billed to be. Thank you so much for your recommendations Tim! The atmosphere was also amazing. Although a bit on the loud side we were able to overlook that while still having a wonderful time. We highly recommend, and will certainly be looking forward to returning on our next special occasion.

    The Henry is a great spot for a delicious meal and a fun night out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the service is top-notch. The food is absolutely amazing. I've been here several times, and I've never been disappointed. The jalapeno margarita is to die for, and the Korean Prime Skirt Steak is one of the best steaks I've ever had. The flourless chocolate brownie is also a must-try. Overall, I highly recommend The Henry. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a night out with friends. Here are some additional things to note: * The Henry is located in the heart of Dallas, so it's easy to get to by car or public transportation. * The restaurant has a large outdoor patio, which is perfect for enjoying the warm weather. * The Henry is open for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not to check out The Henry. If you're looking for a great dining experience in Dallas, I highly recommend it!

    My date and I had a reservation for 7:15pm. Upon arrival valley parked our vehicle and we were greeted at the door with a “ranch water” cocktail. We then took the elevator up to the restaurant and were promptly escorted to our table. We started off with a bottle of Pinot Noir for drinks and of course servers kept us hydrated with water throughout our dinner and made sure we were well taken care of. For appetizers we had the Chicken Kaarage (GF) and Salmon Crudo. For our main meals we ordered the Salmon Steak and Duck Leg Confit and shared a flight of sides including the roasted mushrooms, triple cooked fries, and Brussel Sprouts! The food was amazing and so was the service. Everything was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. Great experience if you’re are new to the Dallas area wanting to explore and see beautiful views of the city.
