    I was treated so well for my birthday. Appetizers of mac and cheese and asparagus, perfectly cooked. My steak was perfect and melted in my mouth. Those who got sushi said it was very good. At the end we got a delicious surprise of cookies and cake pops, which we didn't order. The drinks we crafted with care and my French 75 was lovely and delightful.

    What an incredible experience! The food was terrific. We highly recommend the short rib potstickers in Ponzu sauce. The dessert of choice was the chocolate peanut butter pie- HOLY CRAP! It was unbelievably delicious. We TOOK IT DOWN!!! The espresso martini was the perfect cocktail as well. Everything on the menu was fantastic;Those were just our faves. Lastly, our waiter, Colin, was the most well-versed, knowledgeable waiter I have ever experienced. The Henry is a Dallas treasure and Colin made it downright perfect!
