I respect Sam Fox for his creative and diverse restaurants and so was looking forward to experiencing his latest: The Henry. On a whim, I took my Valentine there yesterday (Valentine's Day), no reservation, 6pm. We were immediately able to be seated on the front patio, which is first come first serve. The inner and outer decor were equally impressive; personally this is my favorite design theme out of any Sam Fox concept. Our waitress was nice and all the service was excellent. But unfortunately, the food was sub-par.
Beginning with the kale and garlic dip, this was definitely the best dish we had. Above average. Next the artichoke hearts were a very small portion and decent. The Brussel Sprout Caesar was disappointing and I couldn't even eat my overly-saucy, overly salty mushroom tortellini. To their credit, the waitress noticed I hadn't touched the entree and immediately removed it from the bill. While this was an appreciatively kind gesture, it still didn't make up for how both my honey and I wound up with stomach aches and had to go to bed. Not a romantic end to our Valentine's at The Henry..
