    Location was unique because the restaurant is below street level. Atmosphere was that of a nice steakhouse. Food was delicious. Olive oil cake for dessert was excellent. Even with a bottle of wine, total price was reasonable. Would return again in future.

    The Henry is a great spot for a delicious meal and a fun night out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the service is top-notch. The food is absolutely amazing. I've been here several times, and I've never been disappointed. The jalapeno margarita is to die for, and the Korean Prime Skirt Steak is one of the best steaks I've ever had. The flourless chocolate brownie is also a must-try. Overall, I highly recommend The Henry. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a night out with friends. Here are some additional things to note: * The Henry is located in the heart of Dallas, so it's easy to get to by car or public transportation. * The restaurant has a large outdoor patio, which is perfect for enjoying the warm weather. * The Henry is open for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not to check out The Henry. If you're looking for a great dining experience in Dallas, I highly recommend it!

    Service was excellent, and staff was friendly but not overbearing. Waters were refilled regularly, and we were reminded that happy hour would be ending in 30 minutes, so we could be sure to order another drink. I had the salmon with whipped potatoes and lemon capers. It was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious! My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was scrumptious! Fried to perfection! Our friends had the Reuben and steak sandwiches - both enjoyed their meal, but do note that the Reuben is a turkey Reuben - not my favorite way to make a Reuben, but apparently it was good. We even came back after we went to a play (go see Debbie Does Dallas if it’s still playing at Theatre Three) and had a night cap. The espresso martini was amazing, plus it was pretty! The noise level at dinner (5:30 dinner) wasn’t too high. We could easily converse with our friends. At the later hour, it was pretty noisy, but the vibe was still fun, and the service was top notch even with the larger crowd.
