    The Valentine's 3-course meal was truly a delight. The Wagyu beef tart was a wonderful combination of flavors, and the Lobster bisque was a comforting, smooth treat for our first course. For the second course, the NY Stripe steak with peppercorn gravy was so satisfying and rich. For dessert, Hubs was completely enchanted by the chocolate mousse, bursting with chocolate goodness, while the Strawberry cream cake evoked such sweet memories, showcasing the most exquisite strawberry flavor. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring we had everything we needed, and the gentleman serving water was extremely thoughtful, refilling our drinks before we even had a chance to ask. It was a truly memorable experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it—10 out of 10!

    We had an incredible experience! It was our first time dining at Nuri. Our server, Ed, greeted us and explained the menu thoroughly. Offered us a variety of drinks and cocktails as well. He gave us great suggestions that we ended up choosing. The drinks came out quickly, the food came shortly there after and was just as amazing as he said it would be. The hospitality Antonio showed us was above and beyond. He greeted us, along with our server, at our table as soon as we sat down. We had great conversations regarding the restaurant, the food and cocktails with Antonio throughout the night whenever he would swing by to check on us. When we were ready to leave, both Antonio and Ed came to say goodbye. We had one last round of conversation and jokes before we went on our way. I couldn’t be happier with Antonio and Ed, we had a such a great time. They definitely turned our regular date night into a whole experience. We can’t wait to come back again!

    The Henry is a great spot for a delicious meal and a fun night out. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, and the service is top-notch. The food is absolutely amazing. I've been here several times, and I've never been disappointed. The jalapeno margarita is to die for, and the Korean Prime Skirt Steak is one of the best steaks I've ever had. The flourless chocolate brownie is also a must-try. Overall, I highly recommend The Henry. It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a night out with friends. Here are some additional things to note: * The Henry is located in the heart of Dallas, so it's easy to get to by car or public transportation. * The restaurant has a large outdoor patio, which is perfect for enjoying the warm weather. * The Henry is open for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. I hope this review helps you decide whether or not to check out The Henry. If you're looking for a great dining experience in Dallas, I highly recommend it!

    Service was excellent, and staff was friendly but not overbearing. Waters were refilled regularly, and we were reminded that happy hour would be ending in 30 minutes, so we could be sure to order another drink. I had the salmon with whipped potatoes and lemon capers. It was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious! My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was scrumptious! Fried to perfection! Our friends had the Reuben and steak sandwiches - both enjoyed their meal, but do note that the Reuben is a turkey Reuben - not my favorite way to make a Reuben, but apparently it was good. We even came back after we went to a play (go see Debbie Does Dallas if it’s still playing at Theatre Three) and had a night cap. The espresso martini was amazing, plus it was pretty! The noise level at dinner (5:30 dinner) wasn’t too high. We could easily converse with our friends. At the later hour, it was pretty noisy, but the vibe was still fun, and the service was top notch even with the larger crowd.
