| - My husband and I stopped here for dinner last Saturday evening after a shopping excursion in Kent. We hadn't eaten all day so we were HUNGRY! The building appears to be an old "Dutch Pantry" replete with a barn shaped wooden sign and horseshoe parking lot. (I have no idea how I channeled Dutch Pantry but it may have something to do with the fact that I'm 50 years old.)
The main entry to the restaurant accesses the bar... a "too well lit" bar for my tastes (I like dimly lit, covert drinking spots that encourage heart-to-heart conversations and dreamy memories). All of the waitstaff was busy but seemed happy to be there.
We were seated in what I would call the middle dining room, where the waitstaff runs back and forth from the kitchen to the main dining room. We would have preferred a more romantic setting but the entire restaurant is bathed in the "cafeteria/hospital" style lighting...
My husband and I ordered Spaetzels with gravy, Smoked Oysters, and Herring in a sour cream sauce for appetizers along with Merlot for me and a Dortmunder for my hubby. Our waitress, Diane, gave me helpful wine advice.
The apps were delicious! We even ordered extra Spaetzels with our dinners!
I should note that the steaks here literally hang over the plates... I mean we made comparisons to Fred Flintstone going to the drive-thru diner and the rack of ribs tipping over his car. We were trying to look over at a fellow diner's giant steak without seeming rude when his wife pleasantly said, "You can turn around and look if you want!" By the end of the night other diners entering the restaurant were gawking at our prime ribs.
I should mention here that Henry Wahner's does not accept credit cards. We knew this ahead of time so there was no problem.
Our dinners consisted of salads, mashed potatoes/gravy, spaetzels, and giant prime rib cuts (bone intact). Wow! Everything was delicious!! Of course we took our leftover steaks home with us (the prime rib resulted in lunch and dinner sandwiches for my husband).
We did purchase a lemon-blueberry cake with a cream cheese filling to take home (part -breakfast/part-lunch fare later in the week).
Overall the restaurant is top-notch, the prices are very reasonable for the quality/abundance of food one receives, the waitstaff is awesome (thumbs-up to Diane), and the fellow patrons are extremely friendly (it seems like a lot of regulars eat here!) The decor and atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The bill may not reflect the dining atmosphere.
We would recommend this restaurant to friends and will DEFINITELY return!
