What a great place. Yes, the menu is a mecca of game and interesting meat. The wine list is excellent, with several big, bold fruity wines and smoother New World wines. I had a terrific mustard-crusted tuna steak that was perfectly medium rare with a crusty, crunchy coating of stone-ground mustard. They used pan juices, wine and more mustard to reduce down an intense and thick mustard sauce. It was lying on perfectly steamed bed of fresh spinach with soy and mustard oil. It was just excellent. The waitress was fantastic, friendly and using terms of endearment and she is absolutely Julia Child's doppelganger. No kidding. That unique side-of-the-mouth diction as well. The dessert of layered crepes with custard was velvety and light. The only weak point was the espresso. Tasted more like brewed drip coffee to me so had I been expecting that it would have been perfect. read more

Very tasty food, if a little on the pricey side, and great service: we had to wait 5 minutes for our table to be ready, so they gave us all a free drink! One of my favorite places in the neighborhood. read more

Had concert tickets at the Barclay's and saw the Henry's End was just a short cab ride from there. The Yelp reviews are spot on. This place was great! Service was quick and super friendly. Love the open kitchen. There is something different on their menu for everyone to try. The duck, lamb and walnut crusted chicken were among the favorites in our group. The pre fixe menu has a large variety of choices and is really reasonable in price. Definitely recommend. read more

Service = okay. Atmosphere = quaint & romantic. Price = Overly expensive. Food = minimal & typical. Boy, was I disappointed with this place. My major complaint was with quantity of food served. I ordered their short ribs, which was certainly a mistake-- the entrée consisted of 3 small, half-dollar sized pieces of beef served over a half cup of mashed potatoes and 3 pieces of broccoli. Did they think they were serving food to a toddler? For $22.95, I expected ALOT more. As for the meat itself, it was tender, but the gravy tasted like packaged instant gravy. The mashed potatoes were typical but served mixed with wasabi or horseradish, which really added nothing special to the mix (in other words, they were bland)... plus, they weren't even creamy. We did order the crab cakes appetizer with our meal, and it was flavorful, but, again, they were quite small. Note that if you order them, they are deep fried and not pan fried or baked, so they aren't really flaky like you find in most restaurants. Nonetheless, they tasted fine. Vinny ordered a strip steak smothered in a mustard sauce. The portion size for this was a little better than the other items we ordered, and he said the steak tasted fine. All in all, our experience was mixed, with Vinny liking the restaurant more than me. But, oh how I wanted to fall in love with this place b/c it's close to our house... but I was mostly disappointed. read more

Very accommodating and friendly. The food was pretty good too but I don't know I just felt like something was missing, maybe it was the service...but because it was so friendly, the wait made it worth it. I would go again. read more

POOR service, over-priced, filthy. We live in the neighborhood and intended to try Henry's End for a long, long time. We hadn't gotten around to it because there are so many other great restaurants in the area. I repeat- there are so many other great restaurants in the area. Henry's End was a disappointment. Service was poor- our waitress inexplicably left us sitting there for over half an hour without taking our order or giving us a bread basket. At one point we flagged her down, but after we asked a simple question about sides, she turned her back on us and ran off without letting us order... just as we were opening our mouths to say what we wanted! As another reviewer here wrote, the waitress seemed a better fit on the staff of Applebee's. She was wearing 4 inch long florescent green feather earrings (totally unprofessional at a restaurant of this price range). Finally the host felt sorry for us, came over and took our order himself. Food was inventive with many game meats but over-priced compared to several wonderful places nearby that serve inventive and impeccable food. Also, Henry's End was filthy. The bathroom floor looked like it had never been mopped; visible dust balls were hanging off the walls. It reeked of frying oil: our coats needed to be dry cleaned afterwards- further adding onto our already overpriced bill. My friends- don't waste your time and money on this place. read more

Henry's End is the best restaurant I have been to not only in NYC but anywhere. They have such an extensive menu and EVERYTHING I have tried is amazing! Their wild game festivals is the best! I love trying their variety of wild game. This is the first place I have tried Kangaroo and it was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is considering it you won't regret it! read more

This is a great foodie find. Nothing fancy inside, except some serious eats. It had a comfortable, laid back feel.

Great little restaurant tucked away in Brooklyn heights. I had the Cesar salad, which was delicious, it had anchovies and a very rich dressing as a real Cesar salad should. For the main course I had the black crusted lamb, my cousin had the walnut crusted chicken and both were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The customer service was also amazing, everyone was exceptionally nice and friendly. Can't wait to dine here again the next time I'm in town. read more

I truly love this place. I almost always order the steak au poivre because I just love it, but the other menu items I've tried have been fabulous as well. If you're into wild game, this is your spot! The wine and service is always terrific, and even though it's a small space I love the cozy, intimate vibe. It fills up pretty quickly so reservations are probably a good idea. read more

My lady took me here for a nice night out. For my first time out in Brooklyn Heights, she definitely chose the right place. Although the restaurant is a little small, it's dim and pretty. The food was wonderful and the server was so sweet. I'd definitely recommend this for a romantic night out. read more

Food....Fabulous Service....Suburb Drinks....Devine Great menu. Something for everyone. We all had a great night at Henry's End. read more

The menu sounded great but the food was mediocre. I normally wouldn't write a review for mediocre food but the service was terrible. The waiter was friendly and helpful but the owner (or some manager) could not get us out fast enough. It is uncomfortable and hard to enjoy yourself in this atmosphere. They literally would not let us order an after dinner drink after spending 100s on food. They told us to leave. read more

You may have to wait for a table and there isn't quite enough room around the bar, but they will serve you drinks and allow you to stand there, as long as you are conscious of the need to get out of the waiter's way. When you finally sit, the food is pretty good to very good. I had a really tasty pasta dish, although they were out of my first choice. I tasted and also really liked the special of pappardelle with lamb. The garlic bread was good, as were the shisito peppers. Cash only! :( read more

A terrific, old school vibe and good service in Brooklyn Heights. The spicy margarita was a bit too spicy, even for me; aside from that, dinner was warm, cozy, and tasty. The crab cake appetizer was a winner, as was the unique cold sour cherry soup. The sole citron entree was the lightest offering from the prix fixe and was nicely citrusy and a large portion of fish. Dessert was a small - in a good way - lime tart. We left stuffed and happy, a nice combination for the train home. read more

I truly enjoy dining at this "feel at home" intimate restaurant with soft lighting and quiet reserved table conversations. The service is wonderful and the food is fantastic. I tried the fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Amazing! My brother frequents this restaurant (for about 10 years now), and he loves the Lobster Ravioli, Lamb, Soft Shell Crabs. They have an excellent wine list, and this is a great place for a first date or just to catch up on time missed with old friends. Make sure to try the dessert with the icecream block and caramel (can't remember the name) and some coffee! You are treated very well by the hosts/hostesses/servers here. read more

My first 5 star review. We wanted to try Henry's End for the food but were a little concerned about the hipster rep, small tables and cramped quarters. We come to Brooklyn from Montreal every month or so to visit our children and grandchildren and Brooklyn Heights is our preferred stomping ground because of it's proximity to our hotel. At any rate this is not Patty Duke's Brooklyn Heights, (you gotta be old to get that reference), its chic, expensive and popular beyond belief, Henry St. a local jewel, choc full of eclectic and exciting culinary choices, all lined up over a block or two. We decided on the Italian restaurant next door (which doesn't take reservations) and were surprised that it was overflowing on a Sunday night. Peeking into Henry's End next door we spotted a table and decided to jump at the chance. What a serendipitous choice! The food was quite simply fabulous. Every one of the four main courses ( sorry read: 'entrees' in America) was daring innovative and quite delicious. Service was above par and the noise level was such that we had some fine dinner conversation. We were never rushed and enjoyed our best meal in Brooklyn so far. We shall continue sampling other great local restaurants on our return trips, but will surely return here to enjoy some of Brooklyn's finest plates. read more

A true gem in Brooklyn Heights. Highly recommend the ribs, tuna & veal milanese. All six people in our group left raving about the food & wine. read more

NIGHTMARE!!! AVOID tis restaurant at all costs!! Megan, the so called "manager" of this establishment is perhaps the rudest most angry hospitality person I have ever experienced. We are from Florida. We found Henrys End on the internet. I rant to make a reservation and Megan answered. She told me that there were no tables available until 815 or 830. My wife was on Open Table and she saw a reservation at Henrys for 8 PM so we booked. When we arrived, I indicated that we had a reservation for a table at 8PM. There were THREE empty tables at the time we arrived. Megan walked over to me, my 85 year old Mother in Law and wife and said' "You thought you could speak in huh?" Megan then proceeded to show us!! How dare we use Open Table to book a reservation when she told us over the telephone that there were no tables available until 815. Megan was going to show us!! She made us sit at the table just by the front door that no one uses to wait. And, we waited, and waited. Two other groups came in and were seated before us. I managed to keep my cool very well while Megan doled out her punishment upon me, my wife and MIL for using Open Table and going "around her." At one point, I asked Megan f we could see menus while we waited. She looked at me with a scowl and announced, I will be back with you shortly sir. She came back 5 minutes later with the menus and an even worse attitude at which point, my wife said, "let's get out of here." By this point it was 8:30 and we still hadn't been seated!! We left and went next door to the Italian restaurant, Noodle Pudding which could not have been more friendly and wonderful. We were very fortunate that Megan was so rude. Otherwise, we would not have found Noodle pudding. Megan suggested that I complain to the owner Mark. Mark, consider tis a complaint! You may want to find a new manager too. read more

this is the restaurant i love best. they have a great menu, you can find just about ANyThing on their menu--everyone in your party will be satisfied. I LOVE the servers--you don't often say that in nyc but these folks are wonderful!! and!!! you get birthday treats, if you register for their birthday club (or whatever they call it) within two weeks of your birthday (within 7days before or within 7 days after) your entree is on them!! love love love henry's end!! read more

I went here looking for good American cuisine in the Brooklyn Heights are. FYI -- this is not really BH, it's closer to DUMBO. Nevertheless, the food and service were both excellent, if not a bit expensive. The atmosphere is very old fashioned. I enjoyed my meal but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Customer service is great and I loved the annual Game Festival. My favorite plate was the kangaroo kebabs! It is a very intimate restaurant and I would definitely go again. read more

Such a nice place with great service and wonderful steaks. The au poivre is a delight, ample, tender and flavorful. Sides were delicious and wine excellent. read more

Bar none - my absolute favorite restaurant in Brooklyn Heights. The manager is terrific, the wait staff is friendly and helpful and the food is wonderful. read more

One of the worst meals I have ever had. I had some seriously high hopes after reading the wonderfully written menu and seeing that there were a bevy of specials on offer for the evening. I was dining with my girlfriend and her ten year old son who has been broadening his palate lately thanks to the fact that we have eaten at some decent (definitely not fancy) restaurants as of late. I don't know if he will ever trust me again after he had his first scallop ever and it was cooked to the point of a pencil eraser and completely devoid of moisture or flavor. A $15 glass of low-end chardonny was the only mildly palatable thing placed on our table. The rice that was served as a complimentary "side" would have been alright if we were in prison. Don't go here. The cooks all look strung out and they clearly don't care about what they are serving. read more

Tried their exotic meats and was a bit dissapoited but experience was nice, turtle soup and alligator sausage were my favorite. Drinks and desert were delicious. Portion are small and is a little expensive. I will be back to try their regular menu soon. read more

Great find! Excellent service and food. The pistachio salad was amazing and so was the mustard seed tuna. Can't wait to come back. read more

Henry's End - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I love this place ..small and cozy with great service.the jalapeño margarita is fantastic.. I would definitely recommend Henry's end

I had an amazing dinner here! They have a fantastic prix fixe menu that hit the spot just right!

I could spend my review reiterating everything everyone has already said about Henry's End (the game! the wine!), but I figure I'll mention something that hasn't really been focused on much: this place is great for vegetarians, too! I'm not a huge carnivore, though I have indulged in the raspberry duckling, the lobster penne, the fig and goat cheese chicken, etc etc. What I usually get at Henry's End is a huge pile of vegetarian-friendly food. Their beet and warm goat cheese salad is incredible - I order it every time I go. Right now, they've got a pear-raspberry soup on the appetizer menu that is divinely creamy and full-bodied - do they put butter in it or something? Can you do that to fruit soups? I don't know, but it's amazing. Artichoke and lemon soup? Check. They do lovely seasonal vegetable sides sometimes too - this spring, they had fiddlehead ferns. They've got a wonderful pesto, and their roasted vegetables over polenta are supreme. And, of course, the wonderful desserts are all veg-friendly - get the Mr. or Mrs. Mud Pie - HUGE slices of ice-cream based cookie-crust pies. Top it off with an espresso - beautiful. So vegetarians - do you have a beloved carnivore eager to try Henry's End? Don't squirm out of the opportunity - you'll be glad you went, too! read more

delish! how did i not know this place existing right down the street from me? ...maybe it was kept from me on account of my hips. anyways, really casual, walk right in, but rich food, took a lot of time perfecting dishes. i recommend the duck. desserts were just as good. read more

I really enjoyed my meal. Great atmosphere and it was a very clean establishment, especially the bathrooms. The people in my party were not happy with their food, but I certainly was! I started with the goat cheese salad (DELICIOUS), then the blackened lamb in the bbq glaze w/ mashed pottatoes (DELICIOUS), followed by the white and dark chocolate mouse (DELICIOUS). My meal was perfect read more

It met all our expectations and more! The crabcakes appetizer were large, meaty and delicious. The wild mushroom salad was also wonderful. The entrees were very large. The specials included a duck with sour cherry sauce that was outstanding. Also up to that level was the sole with lobster and mushrooms. Our third guest had walnut crusted chicken which was very large and it too was outstanding. The service was friendly and sufficiently attentive. read more

Henry's End is a small place with intimate lighting. I went on a Tuesday evening around 8pm. The atmosphere was okay. The crowd was full of "mature" white Americans. Not much diversity in age or race. I had the pre fix meal. I wasnt quite fixed though. If you get the Honey Ginger Duck its 3 dollars extra. The duck was average. It tasted like high-end Chinese food. Sweet and sour duck. I wouldnt recommend it. My bill was over 80 bucks for 2 fixed meals, and it wasnt worth it. My date had the Veal, and he liked it a lot. The food is not awful, just quite average for the price you pay, oh and its BORING in that place! read more

The food and wine selection was excellent. I loved there lamb dish and I must say they have one of the best selection of deserts I've seen in any restaurant. read more

A slightly eccentric restaurant with a strict reservation policy, my expectations for Henry's End were sky high. I had been told about interesting cuts of meat and a menu that will raise your eyebrows. Honestly, besides a few unique steak cuts, I was disappointed how contemporary the menu was. I don't know what Henry's End is. It lacks the complexity and depth in flavor of high end cuisine, despite being priced like one. It honestly feels like the menu could do with a modern refresh towards fresher, more exciting ingredients. As it stands, it reminds me of something out of the 90's. That's not a bad thing but again, at what they charge, it should be better. read more

We had a lovely evening at this place. The restaurant is very cozy and comfortable. The wild game menu was interesting and there was a good wine selection. I had the stuffed quail and my husband had the veal. Both were delicious. Our service was excellent. read more

Excellent ! Have been visiting for years Mark a perfectionist overlooks every detail . Service makes you feel at home. Pear walnut and blue cheese chicken ,soft shell crabs garlic basil sauce and if you like sothern fried chicken try it here . Henry's is a favorite try it you'll like it. Tell Mark Charles The Realtor sent you. read more

This is one of our favorites - have been coming here for 5 years and love this restaurant! It is underrated. Their veal and duck is fantastic and they have a really nice wine selection. This is a real winner. PS - If it's your birthday, you get a complimentary meal! read more

The ideal restaurant. A diverse yet classic menu that features expertly executed dishes at reasonable prices. The atmosphere and staff are friendly, unpretentious and perfect enablers for a long, boozy evening with friends or a casual date out. The Ozark Bar-B-Q Ribs, which I tend to order as an appetizer although they're also available in an entree portion, are perfect, not too fatty and slathered with a sweet/spicy sauce that warrants mopping up with whatever is left in the bread basket. For those who like their food spicy, the West Indian Bar-B-Q Shrimp never disappoint. Entree-wise, the Veal Morel and Sole Citron are favorites. But, for staunch and adventurous carnivores like myself, Henry's End is at its best with its October-March Wild Game Festival, a constantly changing selection of masterfully prepared Venison, Wild Boar, Reindeer and Elk. This is a restaurant that takes its specials seriously and offers lots of them. I've been going to Henry's End, at the advice of a friend who lives in Brooklyn Heights, for over six years and have never been bored or anything less than delighted. read more
