| - I have tried this place a handful of times, and I am really glad that I did, as if I were to base my review on just my initial visit, I would have given the place a three.
There is street parking around the restaurant, and after 6pm on weekday and Saturday it is free, as well as free street parking all day on Sundays. The restaurant itself is well decorated, with Little Henry (the cafe part of the restaurant) on the left side door and the restaurant on the right side door. I found the place a little louder than I usually like for an intimate dinner, but it is an awesome atmosphere if you want to grab dinner with friends and have a few drinks.
My first visit was for a dinner out on my birthday with my significant other, and we had made reservations but they didn't even have our table ready. They made us stand around for fifteen minutes before they sat us, and that had already put us in an off mood before we even ordered. I found the service at this time ok, but not amazing, and the prices of the dishes seemed expensive.
Fast forward to now. Although I was off put by the first visit, I gave Ten Foot Henry a couple more tries - and am I ever glad that I did! Every consecutive visits I have made since, have been amazing, and they just get better and better. The service has been great, with the servers being very knowledgeable about the items on the menu, and always happy to give recommendations. The dishes are always vegetarian friendly, interesting, and definitely not stuff I could come up with or cook at home!
Another thing I was extremely impressed with was that I e-mailed the restaurant with questions about the menu as I have some dietary restrictions at the moment. The response I received was amazing, and I more than appreciated the time they took to explain to me which item included gluten, dairy, or soy. They even let me know which dishes would be best with what substitutions, and I can't imagine how long it would have actually taken them to write up this e-mail but for ANYONE with dietary restrictions, you can understand and appreciate that they took the time to do this as some other places, would easily show annoyance when you ask about ingredients in their menu items.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Ten Foot Henry to anyone, with the creative, changing dishes they have. I haven't had a single dish I tried here that I did not like, but my personal favourites are the beets, the cauliflower (I don't even really like cauliflower but it's SO GOOD!) and the pickerel. If you are looking for a new place to check out, please do yourself a favour and eat at Ten Foot Henry :)
