| - Made a reservation at The Henry for Valentine's Day Brunch. We arrived a little early, and were seated almost immediately. I had been to the restaurant for AZ Restaurant week before, and loved the décor inside--I would decorate my house like it! They have an open kitchen, but the noise it still relatively quiet.
Husband ordered a mimosa ($8) and it was probably the best I ever tried. The mimosa had the right balance of bubbly stuff and fresh orange juice. I ordered from the Bloody Mary Cart ($10). There were several house infused vodkas to pick from as well as garnishes! My green-chili bacon Bloody Mary was so good, my Husband also ordered horseradish bacon one. The coffees looked really good too!
Ordered the popovers ($7) to start, FANTASTIC! It would be a great savory pastry with coffee if you came in for a light brunch. The breakfast choices are on the lighter side, I ordered the Original Bacon Sandwich ($10) but substituted the bread for a croissant (great idea!). My Husband ordered the New Yorker ($12), a corned beef omelet. He said it would be better served as a hash with the breakfast potatoes and an over easy egg. Overall, would recommend for the breakfast cocktails and the fair prices for breakfast items.
The only downside was our service. The server seemed to be unfocused and "in the weeds" as she had put it to us. She took our drink and appetizer order and left the large menus at the table. After she delivered the appetizer, she left. Before taking our entrée orders. We had very little space on the table to eat the appetizer! After taking our entrée order, we didn't see her again until she plopped the check on the table. No waters, no drink refills, no asking hour the food was or if we wanted dessert. Then she seemed really off put when I asked for a to-go cup of water (as I was thirsty!). Since we had been there before, it might have just been a really bad Valentine's Day Service.
