| - The Henry exceeded all of my hopes and dreams.... oh, the cheddar popovers... and the caulflower polenta... I salivate just remembering the delectable flavors. The best haricot vert (green beans) you'll ever have. Nevermind the secret ingredient is butter. It's amazing. You'll eat all your veggies here without a complaint. Did I mention that the cheddar popovers come with ham butter? It tastes like ham, melted into butter. Really, it does. How does that even happen?
I had a prime rib special. Not on the menu, and you are missing out. The portion of meat was huge (14 oz, I think!) and it was cooked to perfection, served with aux jus. It was some of the best meat I think I've ever had at a restaurant. My boyfriend had the short rib, which either tied for deliciousness or came in a close, close, close second by a hair.
The prices are reasonable for the fantastic quality of food (plates $18 - 25 for the most part) and entrees include sides. There is a good selection of interesting cocktails to choose from. I tried their version of the Moscow Mule with a twist. It was great! Drinks are a little pricey so check the drink lists before you order. Waiters tried to upsell us on a bottle of wine that was $180. Luckily, we checked the menu first!
The ambiance is nice - it's spacious, light and open yet the volume is comfortable and setting intimate for a nice date night out on the town. There is a huge patio, which I'll be excited to check out soon. I love the casual furniture that makes it feel warm, welcoming & casual if you are just going for drinks and to lounge with friends for happy hour.
I can't wait to go back and explore the menu, so happy that this restaurant is in my Arcadia neighborhood. Hold onto your hat Chelsea's Kitchen and LGO - the Henry is in town!! This is the first Fox Concepts restaurant that I have given 5 stars to and will wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who asks. Go forth and enjoy!!!
