  • My son had a $50 gift certificate to John Henry's Restaurant; (supposedly a fine-dining establishment) and on a moment's notice asked his mother (me) to go out for dinner. (I usually YELP restaurants before I go out to eat somewhere but due to the last minute plans I did not have a chance to do so.) And I am thinking - $50 couldn't go too wrong. Enter the TWILIGHT Zone..................... Ok. so you have an English sounding restaurant but with an Italian Menu, Croatian Greeter/Manager, a decor that is Southwestern with weird French accents; and such inept waiters who are unbelievable. Let's start with OUR WAITER. The manager promptly seats us. 10 minutes later, our server appears- very friendly- but immediately announces he hasn't worked in months since working here years ago and we (unfortunately ) are his very first patrons sinc returing to work here!) . He proceeds to tell us of his past misfortunes and subsequent travels around the world. Meanwhile, we are thirsty and would like (at least some water) and perhaps order a drink. When he is finished, I asked what the house wine was - Response - "Gee, I don't know -it use to be Woodbridge but it may have changed. He just stood there. I asked- "can you please find out?" He said "Oh yea - sure". We also have no tableware - nor menu. Can you spell I-N-E-P-T? He came back to take our drink orders and tell us about the drink specials. I asked if we could see a menu (mind you we are already 20 minutes into the evening. ) He laughed and attempted to make light of the fact that we had no tableware nor menu. So while we are waiting - the waiter for the group of 8 women seated directly behind us (from Chicago, based on their very loud conversation) was telling them a story about God knows what. He talked very loudly and kept saying "those Black guys" in his monologue. There happened to be a couple (black gentleman with his white companion) nearby who could not help but overhear this guy's very racist dribble and appeared to become very uncomfortable. The women sat silently and said nothing. I was about to interrupt him and tell him that his conversation was rude and to please stop when he ended his rant and left. The wine list is from HELL- How can a purported fine dining establishment even entertain the thought of having Sutter Home White Zinfandel ($23/bottle) and Little Penguin Cabernet - ($34/bottle) on the menu? What a joke - not to mention rip-off About the food....... The veal dishes we had were ok. Although the veal (Satimboca and Marsala) were tender, both dishes were very salty. However, the vegetables were fresh and tender and the potato slices tender. The bread is hot but nothing to rave over. We stuck to one glass of red wine each from the Glass Only wine menu as the bottle menu was lacking and way overpriced. We ended the meal splitting the Tiramisou which was very good and supposedly homemade on the premises. By the time we left @ 8:30 p.m. the place was busy with only 3 empty tables. My son and I could not figure out how this place stays in business considering the poor service and mediocre food/overpriced and low end wine selection. Bill for two came to $113 and with our $50 coupon ended up paying $82 (including tip) . Way overpriced. Trust me - we will NEVER return to this TWILIGHT ZONE again and if you are wise you won't even begin to venture into it....
