    We went to Henry's for Valentine's dinner with another couple. We got the boudin balls as an appetizer, I was pleasantly surprised! Very tasty, little spicy with sausage and kind of like a hush puppy outside batter. Really liked it dipped in the remoulade sauce. My husband had the Liam's chicken he said it was Fantastic! Really juicy and flavorful. I got the blackened catfish over spicy cheese grits and it's was so delicious! It was an enjoyable dining experience.

    Our server, Iverson, was fantastic. Very personable and attentive. The food was great, as always. The seating was done a little awkwardly. It was a very busy holiday, and they were doing their absolute best, so kudos to their turnaround time on tables, the time it took from ordering to receiving food and drinks, and when our check was delivered and run. My only complaint was the specialty cocktail. It used a very inexpensive champagne, and I'm not bougie by any stretch, but it had the aftertaste of a cheaper champagne, and it had some strawberry puree and that was basically it. Their other cocktails are pretty amazing, so I was bummed this one seemed so out of the ordinary. Otherwise, an outstanding experience as always.
