Rooted in the traditions of regional cooking, Henley celebrates quality products made by American hands. That starts with the hand selected bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels that populate our drink program and extends to our rich appreciation for the bounty available in the American South. The atmosphere evolves as you move through the space: bright and breezy on patio, hushed and moody in Snooker. As for the inner sanctum--Henley’s coveted Rabbit Hole--well, you’ll just have to experience that for yourself.

    Bella Napoli is one of our absolute favorite spots - great food, great service and everything you’d want in an excellent neighborhood spot. And whatever you do, don’t sleep on the excellent Italian wine list. I only wish less people knew about it so we could get a reservation more easily. Highly recommended.

    It was our first time and really amazing! My girlfriend and I love tapas style, and Noko was on the list for a while. Marissa was sweet to hold our reservation while we were stuck in traffic, Julian was very attentive to our table, Kylie was a so sweet and even gave us free pineapple sorbet, and John gave me a call the next day to ask how our dinner was. I work in a luxury hotel and love to see amazing customer service!

    Nice neighborhood restaurant. Casual setting with good ambiance. I dropped my date off and went to park the car. When I came in although there were two people at the hostess desk they just pointed me in the general direction of our table. Service was attentive but did not rush us as we made it into a 2 1/2 hour get together with another couple.
