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.

Pricy, but the food is fantastic and the atmosphere lovely. The list has many great vegetarian options, and the chocolate mousse competes with the good ones in Belgium.

Once again, everything was perfection. The current entrees are delectable! In a group of six we had spars, beet salad, pomme frites, and salmon salad to begin, followed by Grilled shrimp over couscous, lamb shank, dorado grilled fish, and a few rotisserie chickens. Everything disappeared and we are content! We will be back!
Disappointed. This was my third experience at Henri. The first was a dinner which was good. The second was an event which was spectacular. Tonight was disappointing. The rotisserie chicken consisted of two legs and nothing else, no thighs no breast just two legs. The plate was covered in french fries to make it look full. Being the host, I didn't feel I was in a position to complain. If you don't have enough chicken let the server tell you they are out.
Very nice place for lunch with a friend. Not noisy and tables not on top of each other. Have a great Power Lunch menu with great interesting choices. Service was impeccable. Highly recommended
Food wasn't that great and waiters attention was hard to get, especially when we weren't there during a bust time.
Pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food here was. We just went here because it was close to the theater but the food was fabulous! Highly recommend the duck carpaccio, beef cheeks and panna cotta!
The food was AMAZING. We went for restaurant week and got the tempura asparagus, duck, porchetta, and rotisserie chicken. Everything was delicious, and we couldn't pick a favorite. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and beignets, and they were to die for. Our server, David, was very thoughtful and attentive. One of my best restaurant experiences in DC!

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at The Henri last night. My wife has been sampling gazpacho in DC restaurants over the summer and pronounced the Henri's the best. I started with asparagus tempura which was delicious. We both had the stuffed rotisserie chicken for our main course, and it was very good. We shared the strawberry napoleon for dessert and enjoyed it very much. It was just perfect!
The service was wonderful, from the Maitre d' to the wait staff, they were all pleasant and professional. We were celebrating a special occasion and they made it extra special!

What an amazing time! From the moment we entered The Henri we were greeted and treated with warmth and fun! The waiter was so very entertaining and helped us make great choices for our dinner. It was the Restaurant Week menu and we all tried something different... and everything was exceptional!! We will definitely return!!
We had breakfast here and I had the smoked salmon bagel. Their coffees are amazing by the way. Try the Gibraltar. It’s two shots of espresso with the little tiny amount of steamed milk just like they make in Spain. The tables were end grain walnut Which Firm woodworking perspective was gorgeous. And service was outstanding. I was impressed with this place.

Really quite nice. My first time and it was restaurant week, so I chose the menu for RW + wine pairings. Excellent flavors and the wine was very good. Server was so very kind. He was a mover and shaker with so many tables, yet managed to keep up. Very nice place and I'll be back.
Lovely welcome, gracious service. Food was mostly good. Duck rillettes were a mousse, not coarse-textured as rillettes are meant to be. The fish and chips had a thick, hard, chewy crust.
David was an amazing person to chat with and displays everything you would want during a meeting or casual dinner. His recommendations, honesty, & overall hospitality was a pleasure to experience. Thank you David and for your past service in the Corps.
