| - We planned my sister's 30th birthday at The Henry. I went to make the reservation for Sunday evening at 7pm for 15 people. They said that the max reservation size was 12. Okay, we made it for 12. Then they asked us to change the time to 530pm or 830pm and that they preferred not to seat a large party during peak dinner hour. When we said no and we would make the reservation elsewhere, they said okay. They also said that preferred if we didn't bring balloons or a cake. They said this with a bit of a snooty attitude. We were a little caught off guard with all this. I guess we thought they would welcome a large party, not make things difficult. We thought about cancelling out of principal, but decided to keep the reservation.
We arrived a few minutes early and it took about 20 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated, we ordered drinks which were great, but too a long time. No bid deal. We ordered dinner and it actually came out pretty quickly. Overall, the food was very good. I think our table ordered every entree on the menu. Both pasta dishes were very good. The chicken was also good, but mine was luke warm when it arrived. It tasted great and the sides were also very good. The fish also got very good reviews. The only thing that was not well received was the short rib. The taste was good, but it was really fatty and not much meat. We didn't order dessert.
The staff and servers were great. Overall, I would likely go back, but I wish our first experience with the staff making the reservation was more positive. If so, I would have probably given this review 4 stars.
