When visiting the restaurant, patrons descend 18 feet underground in a canopied glass elevator, accessed from street level, for a culinary experience unlike any other. The American Steakhouse offers an expansive 1,800 square foot subterranean courtyard allowing patrons to dine al fresco and enjoy a New Orleans-inspired exterior space.

Each steak is aged for a minimum of 28 days for a perfectly tender, juicy bite every time.It is our goal to give you a great meal every time you join us for lunch or dinner.

    Mussels were excellent as always - sad twinge to realize it may be the last taste now that this gem is closing. Chopped salad and redfish were great. Bread pudding was out of this world. This is such a GREAT place! Another victim of corporate greed. I will miss y'all Meddlesome Moth! I know it will be hard to replicate elsewhere because some of the charm is embedded in the structure. But I hope you try. Vaya con Dios!

    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!

    First off, great food and service. There are two valets, one for tango room and the other for carbone, we accidentally used the one for tango, but the valet didn’t make an issue of it and took the car anyways. Upon entering, there truly is no difference between carbone and vino other than limited menu and decoration. The “two different restaurants” are split by large potted / fake plants. I suppose the distinction allows for quicker service (for what is known as an already slow spot) either way the food was good. Bar is a typical mainstream bar. If you are a tequila aficionado, best they have is Lalo (from what I saw from my seat without getting up and studying the bar) and if you are reading this, 1942 and Clase Azul is NOT good tequila. But their wine list is expansive. If you’re in to that. We took a pizza to go for Super Bowl Sunday. Our waitress, who I think was named Mackenzie was amazing. And our bar back / second server was a Hispanic female that was also very attentive. Also, don’t let the “business casual” dress code listed fool you. There were people there with fresh off the golf course attire, men with By Way of Dallas bomber jackets and jeans / collar shirt throughout. Just don’t look messy and you should be fine getting in.
