| - I've been to the Henry twice for my anniversary as well as my birthday brunch, so my expectations were high for these special occassions. =)
The location is very aestetically pleasing. The outside has some patio seating with some really comfortable outdoor furniture. There is a rather large parking lot for the location and even some space for bicycles in case you bike there from nearby. The decor inside is very well done, gorgeous drapery, lovely tuft couches and very comfortable booths. The colors are blue and earthtones, it feels so welcoming you feel like staying for a while. The kitchen is open, so if you happen to sit near by, you can watch as the dishes are prepared. Note that it does get busy. I am an EARLY bird and have not needed a reservation, however I did notice it get rather full as we ate and there was a wait.
The Henry has a main restuarant as well as a Cafe in the same building. I have not eaten at the cafe part, but I am sure I will. I did order from the bakery at the Cafe, but I am gettng ahead of myself and will describe the macarons I got later.
The staff is wonderful. They are attentive, without being intrusive, helpful and happy to help. I like salsa with my eggs at breakfast and they were quick to bring us a very delicious roasted veggie salsa that was just the right amount of smokey, fresh and spicy! The coffee is delish and probably has something to do with the cafe. I usually will have one maybe 2 cups tops and I had 3 both times I went. I've tried the egg white and turkey omelette. The turkey is made in-house fresh roasted and carved, it was so succulent and well seasoned that it made sense to pair it with eggwhites so that the turkey flavors really stand out. It was served with what they calles smashed avocado; it was reminicent of a chunky guacamole with out lime. I thought that was a nice addition to the omelette. My company had the turkey au jus and LOVED IT. the bread was just the right amount of crusty but so soft in the middle to really soak up all the turkey au jus (which was amazing, so savory and such a comfort food taste given that it was turkey, much lighter than you'd get from beef, but still interesting anf a great addition to the sandwich). I also tried the New Yorker, which was GREAT! They make thier own corned beef, so I suggest your try the omelette or the sandwich as its cooked to perfection, not fatty at all and the kind ofitem you'd wish they sold by the pound to take home.
The portions are generous in my opinion and they are very accomodating with what you'd like and substituing side orders. We tried the grapefruit brulee and it was warm, juicy and the sugar crust cracked with every spoonfu. the caramelized sugar went perfect with the fruit. The desserts were AMAZING, we shared a berry muffin and I could literally smell the butter; it was full of fresh berries as well, so well worth the purchase. I ordered strawberry macarons and they were delightful. The filling was not overly sweet and you could really taste the dab of sweet yet tart strawberries; it really tasted like summer time. My parents tried the bear claw and they highly reccomend it. My mom commented that she was pleasantly surprised by the dash of sea salt carefully dusted over the pastry. While she was not expecting this she mentioned it really added some depth of flavor, brining out the tastes in the the sweet almond filling.
On a side note, I found the restuarant to be a great place to dine whether you are grabbing a quick bite to eat, are heading out with the family including small children or celebrating a special day with your significant other. I have and will continue to go back.
