| - Henry's at the Barn is an excellent restaurant featuring the cuising of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Located in Olde Avon Village, it is hidden off of Detroit, making it hard to find if you don't know the area. Just look out for Olde Avon Village and it's in there. The restaurant is housed inside an old barn that was transported and renovated to the beauty it is today. You walk inside and immediately, the wonderfully friendly nature of the service helps you. Reservations are recommended, which we were unaware of. They were just fine with that and we were seated in a nice table in the really nice bar. There is a large dining room, a lounge upstairs with a large TV and memorabilia on the walls, and a great outdoor patio with a fire pit, just to give you the other dining options. The patio is considered one of the best patio's on the West Side, according to Cleveland Magazine. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful, and the hostess came back to check on us often, just to show you the great service. Just a warning, your experience will drag on, so be prepared. It took us two hours from when we walked in to when we left, but it was well worth it, as you're about to see. First, I ordered peel & eat shrimp with an excellent, albeit hot, cocktail sauce. Just a tip, order the peel & eat shrimp instead of the shrimp cocktail, as you get more shrimp for less ($7 for cocktail, $5 for peel & eat). The only drawback is you have to peel your own shrimp, which is no big deal. They also provide you with bread with three excellent toppings, a spicy goat cheese, which I can't seem to remember the ingredient spicing it up, a spicy mango sauce, which the name I also can't remember, and a honey butter. I loved the goat cheese and the mango sauce, but I wasn't so hot about the honey butter. The sweet and salty cream thing just doesn't work for me. Then the main course came. I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken, which came with collards with tomatoes, black eyed peas, and blue cheese hushpuppies. Everything was great on that plate, with the exception of the collards. There was some sort of dressing or something on it that was too strong. For dessert, I ordered what I think was called a truffle (it wasn't a chocolate truffle). It was berries and cake with whipped cream. I don't get why it was called a truffle, but I digress. It was excellent. I really enjoyed it. Overall, this was a great meal that reminded me of Ohio's favorite vacation spot, Hilton Head, one of my favorite vacation spots. It is worth the drive from anywhere in Greater Cleveland, especially if you love the South Carolina Lowcountry. (Sorry about forgetting names of dishes, I usually remember those things).
