The service was incredibly slow. We kept having to look around for someone to take our order - first for drinks, then for dinner, and finally for desert. Each time we ordered something, it was with a different person because we had to flag someone down. I don't know if the restaurant was low on staff as we were never given an explanation.

Everything was great. It wasn’t busy, but probably for a reason. I thought the food was going to be better and was kind of disappointed on that front.

The service, food and ambience was excellent. We ate off the starter menu for dinner. It was enough food. The meatball dish and salads were very good. The service was very good for us as well as what we observed for the other diners! A gem.

Checked into this establishment and was seated at the bar. Very nice establishment. They do have a great wine list and the range of prices reflect that. Service was ok, had the feeling that the check-in and service hand-off might not have been the greatest. Had the salmon burger. Absolutely top notch.

What a disappointing experience. First, we ordered the coquettes to start - which the waitress completely forgot about. I ordered the chicken - it was tasteless and all dark meat. I know it said half a chicken - but i assumed it would be both white and dark meat. The French fries were great - the only editable thing on my plate. My friend got the trout which was oily and tasteless. We barely touched either entrees - and the waitress didn’t even seem to care. It was over 100 for a dinner we didn’t even eat - and neither of us ordered drinks! We were so hungry that we went down the street to district taco after.

We had some “snacks” and cocktails followed by a delicious brownie dessert at the bar. Service was warm, quick and attentive and we loved everything we had!

The Henri is a wonderful restaurant-- one of our absolute favorites in Washington DC. It serves creative and tasty French-style cuisine. My wife adores their lobster main course. Most recently I had their braised pork main dish, and enjoyed it very much. Service is excellent. And for a fine French restaurant in the nation's capital, the prices are quite reasonable.
