It started off with the gracious hostess validating our parking, seating us and wishing us a happy anniversary. Mark was our server. He was thoughtful, helpful and attentive. The music was a plus. It maybe a little loud but being able to sit close to one another was romantic and help muffle the sound. We shared a delicious caprese salad, filet was cooked perfect with bleu cheese butter sauce, delicious scallops and decadent duck fat crusted potatoes. The tiramisu was excellent and the bananas foster gelato was okay. Perfect way to celebrate our 47th anniversary.

First time to eat at The Henry. The staff was very personable, welcoming and attentive. Our server. Carlee was excellent; very informative and helpful. The menu is great and the food is excellent. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken and avocado salad and the butter cake with caramel sauce for dessert. The restaurant has a good vibe. I look forward to eating there again. I highly recommend this restaurant.
