What People Are Saying About Henry's End Restaurant

In Short
This casual neighborhood restaurant is happy in its skin--the simple, painted wood-and-brick space is decorated in artwork of the nearby Brooklyn Bridge, and the witty group of waiters will practically sit down with you if they're not joking amongst themselves. The hearty American dishes have a sentimental place in the collective local heart: Those who grew up on the restaurant rave about the classic steak diane, lingonberry duckling and signature crab cakes; those who didn't may find them overpriced.

Though it has a somewhat modest exterior (one regular sized window compared to the full wall effect of other restaurants on the block.) once you are inside you're treated like a regular. It's a small place and does fill up quickly but they never make you feel rushed and allow you to take your time enjoying your meal. All of their food is good but the daily wild game selection is the real treat. Desserts are also great and shouldn't be missed.

Times are getting bad here. Prices are up, vegetables are still awful, no more salads with dinner. prix fixe being eliminated on fridays through Sundays and there is a revolving dor chef policy. At a ime when Brooklyn is coming up in the world this place is running a great risk of losing its client base. Wake up Marc et al.

The previous reviewer's experience seems suspicious to me. Henry's End has been around for an eternity, and the staff never seems to change. Without exception, I've found them to be accommodating, friendly and helpful, and their recommendations for wine and food pairings are without exception spot on. The atmosphere is casual, but as one of the city's truly best restaurants, I can easily understand why they might refuse to seat a complete party, and especially one with attitude. It just isn't the kind of restaurant where being a nag yields results -- remember, this is Brooklyn, which probably has more in common with SF than Manhattan. The vibe here is very chilled, and the fantastic food and wine have a way of keeping it so. These guys don't really prepare anything they can't stand by, so the menu is really pretty good from top to bottom, with most entrees being outright exceptional. I've never had a bad meal here, or walked out in any way less than satisfied. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it once in a while.
