Overall the good was good not great. At the price point it was not good enough to return. The steak and the chicken tasted ok. The lobster was fine. Nothing blew me away and nothing stood out as a must have of the mains. The apps were better than the mains. All that being said , the service was outstanding and the restaurant is nice. If you want decent food with excellent service this a good choice.

We dined at The Henri before going to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the National Theater and it was absolutely one of the BEST dining experiences I’ve ever had! We chose the Lamb Sorting Hat from their HP themed menu and the Warm Watercress and Bean Salad from their main menu, then for the main dishes we had Quenelle Sauce Nantua and Raspberry Glazed Duck Breast and ended with crème brûlée!! Everything was fantastic! I also order a spirit free drink from the HP menu called House of Ravenclaw which was wonderful!

As a wedding / event photographer, I have the opportunity to work at many venues across the city, but my experience at Tjhe Henri was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating—not just to the couple and guests, but also to vendors like myself. Their seamless coordination and attention to detail made the day flow beautifully.
The rooftop event space was stunning, offering fantastic view of the landmarks of the national capital and an elegant city backdrop for portraits and candid moments. It was the perfect balance of modern charm and sophistication.
During the dinner portion of the evening, I was especially impressed by the ambiance and layout of the private dining space. The service team moved effortlessly and made sure every guest felt taken care of, while allowing me the freedom and access to document the moments authentically. On our way out after the coverage, they generously prepared to-go dinner packages for us. This was an unexpected and thoughtful gesture that allowed us to experience firsthand the incredible cuisine The Henri is known for. It was a delicious way to end a fantastic evening.
Henri is not only a culinary gem but also a photographer’s dream venue in the heart of DC. I’m genuinely looking forward to returning for future events!

The Henri is amazing. Excellent atmosphere for a family meal. The food was amazing. Prepared and seasoned well. Mocktails were a hit with my daughters. Every staff member was attentive, friendly, and made excellent suggestions. A lovely experience.
Barbara
Great potential and interesting menu, but the food fell flat. Service was fine - nothing special.
Dee
Superb service , decor, and food! Every bit of the Branzino was delicious! Highly recommended!
Elizabeth
Great location if grabbing a show at the Warner or just want a low key spot to grab a meal if in the area. Though a little on the high end, it is comfortable and welcoming. The staff is friendly. Give yourself the extra time and order the chicken from the rotisserie menu.

The Henri is a wonderful location and atmosphere for a business lunch or lunch with friends. My friend and I went for lunch and had a delicious lunch of tomato tartar, smoked duck and grilled Ceaser salad, paired with super tasty white wines (Roero Arneis and Perla Bianca) from the excellent by the glass list. Fabulous service throughout. Highly recommend The Henri for lunch and/or dinner.

We went there because it's across from the Warner Theater - dinner before the show. But now I would go there for other occasions too. Its a fabulous space and the food is exceptional. In the main dining area, everyone sees the kitchen, including the unique rotisserie stove for all sorts of main course options.
We went pre-theater. The cocktails were lovely. The appetizer, smoked duck, was delicious. The Thai mussles were tastety and served piping hot. The Branzino was delicious. The wines are interesting - albariño. And the rhubarb tart was something the arm wrestle for. We will be back.

Sometimes you try something new and it's just eh. The menu and atmosphere missed the mark for valentines day. Fully prepaid 'experience' were really just 3 mediocre dishes, nothing else included. Managers stopped by selective tables but not ours. Multiple tables complaining, felt bad for server. Clearly not client focused priorities here, sadly no chance to try again in the future.
