    Overall a great experience. I was entertaining some colleagues and a business partner in town for a conference as a local and they thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Several of our dishes were great. Most notably the hot oil seared salmon that our server recommended and spicy garlic noodles. I wasnt really a fan of the meatball and spicy shrimp plates (but I may be biased having had similar dishes in the past) We arrived almost 30 minutes and the host Erika was exceptionally welcoming and got us seated promptly which was awesome. Definitely would come back, great for a date night or entertaining guests.

    We had an amazing experience at The Henry. The booth was extremely comfortable which is very important to me. Our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Upon knowing that we were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary he gave us a complimentary glass of champagne. We ordered the short rib pot stickers and egg and bacon salad which were delicious. I had the rotisserie chicken- amazing, Mac and cheese -divine and my husband had the filet- perfection. Then they gave us a complimentary chocolate fudge pie for dessert. Overall one of the best experiences we’ve had In Coronado. Highly recommend!!

    Excellent meal from start to finish! Exceedingly well served and paced. Oysters were fresh and flavorful! Superb kampachi crudo! Root salad tasted great. Swordfish kabobs - each bite got more interesting. And sides were large portions also very flavorful. Outside setting, hearing the ocean in the background, just lovely. And each table seemed to provide some privacy as space heaters were strategically placed so no one felt on top of you. Just a nice experience!

    Unpretentious with casual ambiance. Server was fantastic, exuded upbeat & engaging energy throughout our dining experience. I never felt rushed. My reservation changed from 2, 4,5 back to 2 - the host was unbothered each time & more than accommodating to update the number of guests ( a portion of the party had a fender bender while en route). The smoked salmon tartine deconstructed was excellent - the salmon was delicious & buttery! French onion soup stock was rich and comforting. The blood orange spritzers with a sprig of rosemary was served in a healthy glass & complimented my afternoon break from reality!
