    Wow! A well thought out menu and consistently executed deliciousness in each dish. All starters and mains had well balanced flavor and were cooked to perfection. We had a table of 6 with many of us ordering the same starters and mains, each plate was exactly the same from seasoning to presentation. Tasty cocktails where you can taste the ingredients not just the alcohol. To top it off, from the moment we walked in we were cared for in every interaction from the hostess to the servers. Thanks to the Henry team for a fantastic night!

    It was a lovely experience. Even in the slightly chilly evening, the outdoor tables were very nice and the heaters kept it warm. I thought the menu was really good and had choices for everyone. Service was wonderful. Sara did a wonderful job.

    We were promptly seated on an indoor outdoor patio. All of the servers were attentive and friendly. The manager also checked on us a couple of times which was nice. It wasn’t intrusive. It was just a brief ‘Can I get you anything?’ which is always welcome. We ordered several appetizers, some noodles and a couple of entrées and just shared them with the table to get a taste of a bunch of different things. They did a great job at coursing out the food. The order was exactly as we had placed it. The timing was perfect and the food was very creative and delicious. The ambience is very cozy and charming. The restaurant wasn’t too loud, but it still had a good energy to it. My husband and I are debating if it is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. It is pretty exceptional in many ways. I highly recommend.
