Henry's End is a gem of a restaurant. The food, service, and charm never disappoint. I love introducing friends to this delightful Brooklyn oasis. There is something for every taste and dietary preference: wild game, fish, pasta, salads, and more. And the wine list is an award winner. Mark and his staff make you feel at home.
