Henry's End was the first restaurant I ate at, after moving to the neighborhood over 11 years ago. It's still my go-to special occasion restaurant! Food is consistently high quality and fresh, the wine list is reasonably priced and offers a nice variety, and the waitstaff are courteous. NYE's prix-fixe offered some regular menu fare, along with some delicious options I hadn't seen before. I had the wild boar Ragu, grilled salmon with lobster risotto, and chocolate banana bread pudding. SO good. read more

My first turtle soup ever was delish! Nice atmosphere--hip and jumping crowd. Amazing food and a nice bottle of wine. The only thing better was the company. read more

My last visit to Henry's End was about 40 years ago. It is still keeping up. The menu has changed somewhat, but the quality is still high.

Absolutely AMAZING! A must have. Me and a friend enjoyed a burger and hot wings. The fries were to die for!! Easy to miss while walking but worth the search. Will be definitely returning !! read more

One of my favorite little pubs. Good variety on tap with cozy old school bar atmosphere. Perfect for meeting friends after work.

Amazing. I got delivery and it was packaged perfectly and still tasted great. The lobster cream penne is the best pasta I've ever had. Actual chunks of lobster but not too heavy. Yea it's expensive, but totally worth it! read more

What's a veggie girl supposed to do when all her friends want to do is eat meat? Nay, not just meat, but WILD GAME? Well that girl can eat the most delicious platter of grilled vegetables and goat cheese polenta with a very tasty glass of syrah. All if omnivores in my party were please with their food, especially the pheasant ravioli and the mixed grill. The waiter was a hoot! Very attentive and personable! read more

Customer service is always how I guage a business of any kind, because nothing is more important than how you are respected as a customer. Whether you are a first timer or eating there for maybe the 300th time (I think it's about that) the owner Mark and the entire staff do everything possible to ensure you have a great dining experience. Yes the restaurant is cozy, I prefer to see it as charming- but the food is 4 star, the wine list varied, excellent and reasonably priced. Oh and the customer service? The reason I have been patronizing this place for 30+ years. Henry's End is everything you look for in a neighborhood restaurant. read more

Great night spent here on a cold January evening. Good beer, good food, great waiter.

Took my mom here for her birthday once. I remember the food being really really good, but also pretty expensive. Food worth the price though, basically the standard I judge things by in NYC. You'll get what you pay for here. From what I recall they didn't take reservations, was about a 30 minute wait maybe. read more

We were there on a Saturday night, and strolled in around 8:30, prepared to wait for a considerable wait, but our under fifteen minute wait was the right note. The minimal waiting time was enhanced by the helpful and genuine attentiveness from the staffer who updated us with wait times upon finding out that the table we were waiting for had not ordered dessert. All that said, the food was so good, that even an hour long wait would probably have been worth it. We started off with the wild mushroom salad from the regular menu and a special app of the shaved brussel sprouts, bacon, pecorino & pomegranate salad. Each selection was perfectly on point. The wild mushroom salad was warm and rich and garlicky (though BF thought perhaps a little too much oil with that garlic). The brussel sprout salad was well prepared, to appear like a frisee, and had delicate, well-complimenting flavors - from the smokey bacon pieces to the sweet fresh crunch of the pomegranate seeds. For mains, we both decided to sample the wild game menu, which has been extended to continue until Memorial Day. BF tried the wild game sampler platter, which included rabbit sausage, elk chops with a mustard seed breadcrumb crust and wild boar belly with pomegranate pistachio chutney. The lowest point for him was the rabbit sausage, which he expected, saying he did not order for the sausage, and felt it simply tasted like any other good sausage. The pork belly was reported as pig 2.0, with a perfect combination of fat and sweetness in the meat, enhanced by the flavors in the sauce. The elk chops were the star of his plate, and is being coined as one of his new favorite meals. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked and didn't fall into any trap of being typically too gamey. I went with the penne with venison sausage, butternut squash and hazelnut. Perhaps it was a safe choice in the realm of wild game, but it was still delicious enough to not care. The sausage was spicy and sweet simultaneously and the sweetness of the squash highlighted that hint of sweetness in the meat, while the hazelnut added a bonus crunch and richness to the dish. The service was pleasant, attentive and yet unobtrusive throughout our meal. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and food-focused without being stuffy in the least. To be sure, this won't be the end for us at Henry's... read more

had a great dinner here friday night. first time going. called in a reservation about half an hour before going, and they had our table waiting for us (despite an otherwise packed house), so that was really nice. they have a pretty nice beer selection from a variety of countries, so we started with some of those. our server was fantastically friendly from the start and gave us her (solicited) opinion on a bunch of dishes. we started with the ribs as an appetizer. they were super tender, and the bbq sauce is very original. the bread basket was also delicious, with some standard italian bread w/ sesame seeds, some of that hard and delicious crusted artisan(?) bread and some nice sesame seed breadsticks. for entrees, we had the liver pate, lamb and fried chicken. the pate was fluffy and decadent. not a regular thing for me, but i definitely enjoyed a couple bites. the lamb was also great -- cooked to a perfect medium rare, juicy and served with a sauce similar to the ribs. and the fried chicken was just insanely good. crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and perfectly seasoned. overall, a 4 start dining experience. read more

From start to finish, a very pleasant experience. The staff was wonderful and the food delicious! We had the Caesar salad and turtle soup to start and both were yummy. My boyfriend had the platter from the wild game menu featuring the Elk chop, Wild Boar, etc. He loved it! And my veal was amazing. We were too stuffed to try the desserts but they sounded great and will have to try them next time around. Great beer selection too! read more

We moved away from Brooklyn Heights 30+ years ago and despite frequent visits, have not been to Henry's End since then. Back then our principal gripe was glacially slow service. We gave it a try last night and were pleasantly surprised to find the service much improved. The food was excellent. I tried the gnocchi with wild boar ragout while my wife had walnut crusted chicken. Both were fine. There was a good number of reasonably-priced wines by the glass, too. Happy to be able to recommend the place. read more

Went here with local friends. Great service and wonderful food. I would gladly go again.

Henry's End is the special-occasion place for my girlfriend and me. The service is friendly and accommodating; the food is excellent and interesting (not what's on offer everywhere else); and the bourbon and Scotch flights are a perfect end to dinner. read more

Boy, that was a great meal! With a group of five guys, had two bottles of wine, four steaks on the table and one salmon. Had dessert too. It's a great space, great neighborhood, service was excellent. I highly recommend. read more

Great ambiance, not pretentious at all. Packed full house. Ate the duckling with mushrooms and lingonerry sauce. Good, but would not pay $25 for it. read more

Took my daughter here as we explored the neighborhood as she starts at NYU. Perfect service fantastic food could not ask for anything better ! I highly recommend. Great service and very creative dishes for a small quaint restaurant ! You will not be disappointed! read more

Henry's End is a quaint little restaurant tucked away in a charming neighborhood. Although it's venue resembles little more than a tastefully decorated corridor, the quality of its food is unsurpassed. Your taste buds will begin to believe again, at Henry's End. read more

A wonderful neighborhood gem. The space is tight but the noise level is manageable and service is good. When in season, my husband and I always get the soft shell crabs with garlic basil butter entree with the wild mushroom salad starter. read more

Henry's End just opened in a new location, so this review should be considered with that in mind. The food was tasty. I had steak au poivre, grilled asparagus, and fries (which should have been mashed potatoes but they ran out.) Service was gracious and attentive. They comped me the potatoes. My major issue is with the atmosphere and the noise level. The space is very plain, and I had to shout at my dining partner across a very small table. Likely operations will improve, and perhaps atmosphere with some design work. However, I think the noise levels will be difficult to resolve. read more

I dined at Henry's End last night with two friends. We could only get a 5.30 PM reservation when they open but that was perfect. We had just seen the free BargeMusic concert (family concerts at 4 PM on Saturdays) and took a 10-15 min walk to get to Henry's End. It's autumn so we came for the beast feast. We were seated right away and the service was friendly and knowledgeable. We appreciated our server telling us 2 small plates and 2 entrees would be plenty for the 3 of us. The place really filled up. There was a pleasant buzz, however, it wasn't so loud that you had to shout and the tables were far enough apart that you couldn't hear your neighbor's conversation, nor they yours. We shared two small plates - the yak sticks and the pappardelle with wild boar rage. Both were excellent. Then we shared the kangaroo with sweet potato, spinach and sour cherry sauce and the elk chops with frisbee-bacon salad and fig/pomegranate. Again, both were excellent. When the portions came, it didn't look like they'd be enough. But we had food leftover! With a modest bottle of pinot noir, the F&B bill came to $181 for 3. A very nice experience all the way around! read more

The BF and I had been told we HAD to come here, and when my parents were in town, we finally decided to try it. So we got there a tad early and they politely asked if we wouldn't mind going to wine bar next door to have a drink, and they would come get us. We were totally fine with this, since they don't have a bar, and they came and got us very quickly. So we started off well.. The food, service and management was great. We all got different things and loved all of them. My dad and BF tried different wild game entrees and we're so impressed, while my mom, my sister, and I keep it basic, but still loved it none-the-less. The waitress was super nice, always attentive and put up with my dad's "dad jokes" (we all know what thats like). The manager or owner was very nice too, he was the one who came and got us from the wine bar, called us a cab after our meal (yes, suburbanite parents refuse to walk a few blocks) and was overall, very accommodating. I would definitely come back here. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here! read more

I like game. If you don't, this probably isn't for you. Cozy, small, intimate. The kind of place that doesn't have to pretend about anything. Great wine list, and attentive, unannoying staff (sime might mistake this for snootiness, but I never liked a server saying, "Hi, I;m Amber and I'll be taking care of you tonight..."). Yes, the desert choices are skimpy, but you don't come here for desert. Love it. read more

I am addicted to the Chicken with Walnuts, Pears, and Blue Cheese. It's nearly impossible for me to order anything else, but when I do, I'm never disappointed. Going to Henry's End is always a treat, and on my dining-out scale lands between local standby and special occasion. It is consistenly the best restaurant in Brooklyn Heights. read more

A restaurant with such an enticing menu that it was hard to make a choice. It's a lovely, cozy small restaurant with a good wine list- perfect for my first visit to Brooklyn. read more

Yes, it is that good. Firecracker shrimp were large, perfectly cooked and spicy. Duck was perfect, moist and crispy skin, no fat, off the bone. Sauteed soft shells were excellent, buttery and lots of flavor. Friendly, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive service. The best. read more

Walked in with my husband and son on a Friday evening around 6. We were seated right away. This place is really cute and romantic. A great date spot. Got the wild mushrooms for an appetizer - AMAZING. Main course was a special- chicken with some type of mango avocado salsa-- also delicious. My husband got the soft shell crabs which he really liked. Also got the chocolate cake (amazing) and banana bread pudding which my husband said was good not great. Service was responsive and friendly. Really no complaints, would go back. One thing to note- we brought a stroller and sat in probably the only table that would work with it. They were very welcoming to us bringing a child, but the layout isn't very condusive. read more

More hype than flavor. I was so excited to eat here.And it appeared I was not alone in this feeling. Had my dish been cooked to order, I would have given it three stars. But who wants well done meh salmon? (I thought not.) My dining companions had meat, and both enjoyed their dishes. (I sucked it up - the experience, not the food - of course, but seriously.) So, if you like pork or beef I would say try this place. Just don't, whatever you do, order expensive medium rare salmon. Or, bring an electric carver. The sides were good, but quite small and not a good value. read more

Great food, reasonable price and a casual atmosphere. It's small though so probably worth getting a reservation or you may have to wait a while. read more

Immensely impressed by this restaurant. Service was great, food was even greater. Went here with my boyfriend on a Tuesday evening around 7:30pm, sat right away in a cozy table next to the kitchen...it's an open kitchen so this was pretty cool. Great selection of beer, mostly local. We shared a pasta special: linguine with soft shell crab - DELICIOUS! so much flavor!...as well as the Tortilla crusted shrimp which came with the best side of guacamole ever. Dinner we shared a chicken special with dried cranberries, peaches and a blue cheese (hint of it) marmalade type, and it tasted like Christmas. We got the side of brussels sprouts with andouille sausage which was perfect. Everything was so flavorful and I will be bringing my friends and family back to this establishment in the future! read more

The food is delicious, which we were expecting. The wine list was a spectacular surprise. Wow! The owner happened to be in when we were there and he was kind enough to tell us about anything on the wine list we wanted to know about. Henry's End is terrific! read more

The only thing that attracted us to this place was the early week wine tasting menu. The wines weren't bad if had ever found out what they were. The waiter grumpily threw them at our table. When we asked what they were, he shouted something back indiscernible from three tables away. The appetizers arrived. We got the West Indian BBQ shrimp and the scallop salad. The first seemed like frozen shrimp, canned corn and a jar of BBQ sauce, the later included only 2 tiny scallops despite the price. Our mains were even more disappointing, poor cuts of meat, blandly prepared and overcooked. The desserts weren't bad but he service never improved. The highlight of the evening was a night cap in the Henry st alehouse a few doors up. read more

I've been going to Henry's End for close to 20 years. The steak diane is one of my favorite meals in the world. Henry's End also has great specials, great appetizers and a great wine list. The place is small but not cramped. The wait staff used to be top notch. They had all been there for years and were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I had a waiter that I had never seen before. He was rude and seemed to want to be anyplace but at the restaurant. The food is too good to let a tard like my waiter ruin the experience. I just hope he is gone next time I come. read more

I visited Henry's last evening and found the atmosphere warm and friendly. The wait staff was attentive and the manager Erik was very accommodating. He spent time with us and his recommendations were excellent. I had a duck Ruben which was warm and moist. The duck was delicious and the they used an excellent quality Swiss cheese. My date had pork chop which was perfectly cooked and served over fresh steamed spinach. I recommend Henry's and plan on going back for their jazz at Saturday brunch read more

We moved to Brooklyn Heights a few months ago and had walked past Henry's End many times without even noticing it - the edifice is quite unassuming, as are the surrounding businesses. A foodie friend, hearing that we had moved to the neighborhood, excitedly asked us if we had tried HE, after which we decided to drop by for dinner. The interior design suggests that ambiance was not at the top of the management's mind, but there is something authentic and charming about this - especially as compared with plenty of other locations in the area that have a cultivatedly insouciant air that is mostly a front. The lurid, unironic 80s neon sign on the wall is enough to tell you you ain't in a gastropub, you're in a Good Restaurant that Serves Good Food. I ordered a glass of Chenin Blanc and the Chicken with Bleu Cheese Sauce, Walnuts, and Pears. My husband ordered salmon, about which I could say more, but my memory is completely clouded with the deliciousness of my own meal. After sampling a bit my husband declared my dish "Chicken Pancakes," which is pretty accurate: the pears seemed baked or sauteed in a buttery sauce that evoked the spiced richness of pecan pie and Belgian waffles, and the chicken was moist and encrusted in a subtly sweet breading. The bleu cheese flavor was imperceptible - I was expecting the moldy bite you typically get with this ingredient, but I think it rather contributed to the depth of the dish. We also ordered the asparagus with goat cheese fondue (really just a mild and rather chalky goat cheese sauce drizzled on top). The asparagus was perfectly al dente, and while the sauce didn't contribute much, I don't think it really needed to. The dishes came with rice and haricots verts, which I largely ignored and enjoyed my entree. Even the breadbasket was fresh and flavorful. We had already made other plans for dessert, but I watched a few items headed for other tables and found myself envious. Prices are mostly under $20 for an entree. Be prepared for tough deliberations about your order, though - it's an extensive menu with many options to tempt the adventurous diner. Make a reservation in advance; it's a cramped but congenial space, and the service is no-nonsense and efficient. read more

After asking for some restaurant suggestions from some long-term Brooklyn Heights locals, I was steered to Henry's End. The restaurant was packed, and the tightly-packed tables made one an unwilling participant in dinner conversations at the surrounding tables. The lady next to me was wearing a lovely perfume, but, I didn't really feel like experiencing it. With this in mind, and the rather poor air conditioning on a blistering evening, I was pleased by the friendly service and delicious food. The Steak au Poivre was delicious, in a delightful sauce and my dinner companion's soft-shell crab was excellent, albeit a bit too much butter/garlic, which overwhelmed the crab. I look forward to going again to see if it lives up to the first impression. read more

Great little place for a delicious meal! The food is amazing and great service! The Pears, Walnut and Blue Cheese Chicken is incredible. My husband really enjoyed the Blackened Lamb Sirloin. I will definitely come back here when in New York again. read more

Food and ambient are amazing really friendly staff. I have the NY strip steak and the sauce was fantastic. Real food. :-)
