My son loved all the seafood he had/ all the types of oysters, octopus and caviar. I really appreciated the vegetarian option/ cauliflower “steak.” Nice atmosphere, good service.

Our brunch buffet was out of this world scrumptious! The food was replenished as needed, displays were lovely and most of all kept immaculate! The whole staff: hostess, buffet servers, waiters, waitresses, etc. were extremely pleasant, happy to be of service, attentive to our requests and made our dining experience a memorable one! Special thanks to Brit and Cristen for their kind hospitality and expertise (sorry if i forgot a few names, everyone was outstanding)! Team work makes the dream work! We highly recommend Henrietta’s Table! Thank you! The Kligermans

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable
