    Waffle fries
    Katherine H.

    I think the bartender was new... the martini was terrible and served in a plastic cup?? I heard them saying something about how the night before they ran out of glassware, but there's a ton of glassware on the bar in front of me, so I don't understand what's going on. The French fries were good though!

    nice little cafe in the heart of the hotel!!!! Really nice sweet and ambiance!! Simple menu for breakfast.

    I come here for the mussels and conversation. For whatever reason, my arrival is never during a busy time at the bar, where I go directly. Tonight, there was a young woman learning some basic drink mixing, which I enjoyed watching. I'm never in a hurry here, and I start out with some variety of martini, knowing that I'll be transitioning to wine and mussels. The staff was engaging, and they always grant me extra bread to soak up the garlic butter nectar. Let me also note, before the mussels, I had a half dozen raw oysters, and those were the BIGGEST damn oysters I've ever had. So much yum. Someday I might have something else here. But I doubt it.

    Amazing food and a very cozy atmosphere. You feel as if you were back a few decades at a pub!

    a burger and fries
    Sherrie B.

    I give this place five stars based on the food and service. We entered o December 31st to a birthday gathering and saw a small group of about six siting at two small tables that had been placed together. As more arrived we were told we could sit in the larger room but to be aware others may come in there to eat which were not in our party. No other people outside of our group of about 35-40 people showed up so we had the whole area to ourselves. Oysters, chicken piccata, burgers, salads, etc ordered and and everything looked delicious and presented beautifully. Fried and barbecue wings were brought in on the house. The service was provided by cheerful happy faces and the wait for food was short. My only complaint is it was cold on both sides of the restaurant. I've paid more for burgers and fries that were not as delicious and less of a great service in other restaurants. Well done Henry's Bar and Grill!

    Buffalo chicken sandwich
    Marah D.

    Chicken sandwich was undercooked, and the staff wasn't the friendliest. Definitely won't be back.

    Burger waffle  fries
    Patricia H.

    The food was satisfactory, but the drinks were average. I appreciate the concept of an elegant bar without the overwhelming music and crowded spaces. However, the odors hinted at a less refined establishment - the enticing scents of mop water and numerous pairs of shoes were noticeable. The place's layout was pleasant, but it seemed to lack that extra. I see that they are making an effort. Would I consider returning? Perhaps. The server was friendly, and the place was not busy at all.

    Steak and fries
    Sonia W.

    Henry's is a classic Berkeley restaurant and a must stop place. Great restaurant, gorgeous space,high ceilings, great staff. You will not be disappointed. Ordered steak and chicken cesear salad great classics. You will not be disappointed !!!

This location has had different management over the years and this was my first time in at the Walnut Tavern and Bar. The ambiance is excellent. It is cozy and intimate. The black coffee is excellent. And my kids liked the sliders a lot. I was very disappointed by the tofu scramble. Note: it also contains eggs! Lucky I'm not vegan but I wasn't expecting that. The veggies listed didn't make it in the scramble, and the "seasonal veggies" were zucchini and yellow squash. Not the veggies I'd like in a scramble, or expect. It also had no seasoning. It was really not good. They were kind enough to refund me. But it was an unfortunate first encounter. I wonder if the regular egg scramble dishes taste better. I may have picked the one thing on the menu that is no good. But didn't leave a thrilling impression. So I could go back for coffee and sliders and maybe cake.

The place was nice, quiet, and chill. Although the floors were a bit sticky, the place overall clean. Service was a bit slow. But because it was a leisurely brunch with the family, it didn't bother us at all. Our service was pleasant and very thoughtful. Some of us ordered ahead while still waiting on a couple of folks to join us. Our server took the initiative and had the kitchen fire up the food for the kiddos first so they can be taken care of. The rest of the orders came all together once the entire group's order was placed. That was very much appreciated! The food was very good! The Steak sandwich, Tavern BLT, and Berkeley scramble were good. The chicken and waffle was a fave! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juice on the inside and flavorful. The steamed mussels entree was also a hit! The sauce was rich and savory! It was an enjoyable dining experience for all.

The food also came out pretty quickly. The presentation of the pizza was top notch and I could not wait to dig in. The portion size was adequate.

We shared a plate of the tossed green salad and crispy Brussels sprouts, in addition to two pizzas - Fun-Gi and the Spicy Tomato. The crispy Brussels sprouts stole the show - the deep-frying created a smoky flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture that was equally loved by vegetarians and non-vegetarians in the group. The tossed salad was decent; the lettuce was heavily coated with oily dressing, which I think could have used more acidity. The Fun-Gi pizza was our favorite of the two pies - the hint of truffle oil and rosemary took this mushroom pizza to the next level. I also loved the light and airy crust, which had the perfect amount of crispiness. I wasn't as much of a fan of the Spicy Tomato pizza; while I really liked the unexpected sweetness from the tapenade, the cashew cream drizzle seemed out-of-place. The ambiance of the restaurant was whimsical and warm, providing the perfect backdrop for my friends to linger over our meal. The outdoor seating also looked very charming, and I imagine it would be nice to dine here on a warm, summer evening.

The food in this place was good but the service was so bad at some point I felt like it was a torture. The place was kind of empty not too many table were full but the waiter just would be gone for long and wouldn't come ask if we needed anything. The wait between meals like appetizer and main course was so long not because of kitchen but the server was just gone for long at a stretch. I had to ask him to come and same with after our meal was finished he never came to ask if we needed dessert, The waiter on other table saw us a few times and he finally came and gave us a menu. I really wanted to try a dessert but was scared this will again take us another hour to even get the server to come and get our order. On top of really slow service there was an older man who sat in the table next to us and kept talking to us looking at our food. He literally was asking me if you support trump do you like him. He kept telling us how he knew the owner and his wife and has come to this place for 100 times over years and everything is free for him here. This was all ok but I wasn't sure why he wasn't letting us eat our meal in peace. At some point he became a little racist as well, when we tried to take our food goto he told us i won't take this goto. I never take this goto. And then was like ohh you are from India and it felt so uncomfortable. He was like do you watch fox, I watch fox. Then was like I have cable, I don't try to save money. Do you have cable.. omg never ending interrogation and also kept looking at our food and table and what we were eating and kept commenting on that. I understand this restaurant might have some old and familiar guest or important people come to this place but they should understand other guest should still be able to enjoy there meal without being bothered by the people who are known. It was one of my worse restaurant experiences, the service and on top of this man who somehow is VIP guest at this place made it so hard for us to have our date night meal in peace. I literally tried to run away from this place. This was almost 2 hrs long ordeal. We came a little before 6 and left at 8 and I never eat for that long. I'll NEVER go to this place again even though I loved the food.
