| - It's so important to end a vacation on a high note. I like a good, solid meal in my stomach before I get onto a plane and force myself to reenter my "normal" life back home. The restaurant I choose to provide this meal can really make or break my whole vacation experience, as it is the last impression I have of a place before I leave.
I entrusted this responsibility to The Henry. And Henry delivered nicely.
It's like a New York diner that went to finishing school for a few years and came back a proper lady. Leather upholstery, smartly-dressed waiters and a menu lousy with truffled this and organic that. They stop serving breakfast some time before noon, but luckily for my egg-obsessed boyfriend, they have 3 breakfast plates that they serve all day.
I'm not so breakfast-reliant and opted instead for the tuna melt on marble rye. It was, without reservation, the best tuna sandwich I've ever had from a restaurant. The rye was buttery and crisply toasted, the tuna was smooth with just a hint of vegetable crunch (I hate chunks of greens in my tuna salad) and the perfect amount of melted cheese (Swiss, I think). I chose fries as my side. They were salty, delicious shoestrings in a little metal pot. I ate every single one. Literally.
They skew toward the pricey side, which keeps me from awarding them 5 stars. But it's Vegas, it's the Strip, and it's located in the newest, hippest hotel ON the strip. So for those reasons, they can get away with it.
But seriously, the food is great. I'd recommend it to anyone.
