    California Burrito
    Audrey S.

    One of best brunch spots in Carlsbad! The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and well kept. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out quickly. I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. I can't wait to come back for dinner and try out the rest of their menu.

    Chilled shrimp cocktail
    Monique L.

    We came for a birthday. It's a really cute place and a new so super clean as well. The service was solid. These are the dishes we had. Seabass Korean steak. Fried chicken House salad and shrimp cocktail. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I love dim lighting but it was almost too dark for eating. Maybe an additional lamp in the table? The drinks were a bit pricey with my Tito's martini coming in at $19. No big deal it was a special occasion . We will be back to try more!

    ricotta dip
    ty D.

    We had a lovely dinner with friends last night! Everyone enjoyed their meal and they were very accommodating to my gluten allergy. The Artichoke Ricotta dip did not list as GF but when asked they swapped the bread for a crudités of cucumber carrot and snap pea! Delish! We also shared the chilled shrimp which was also yummy! For mains we had The Sea Bass, Korean Skirt Steak, Chicken frites and the house salad with avocado! There was a little mix up and the seabass did not come out with the other mains but they were apoplectic and comped a beer! All and all we will definitely be back.

    Cinnamon roll
    Shong H.

    We stopped by for Easter brunch. For the holiday, they had their usual brunch menu along with a special cinnamon roll. Service was good, and even though they were pretty busy, they still checked in on us throughout the meal. Our group ordered the cinnamon roll, short rib potstickers, turkey melt French dip, wagyu cheeseburger, and a toasted bagel with cream cheese with a side of bacon and potatoes. We also got coffee lattes (the Rocket, the Cleo, and the Wildflower). Everything was delicious! Our favorite was definitely the cinnamon roll. It was so fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, it was one of the best cinnamon rolls we've ever had. They only have it on special occasions, so if you happen to stop by when it's available, I highly recommend getting it. The short rib in the potstickers was super tender, and the house-made wrapper made them melt in your mouth, especially with the ponzu sauce. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the French dip was meaty with an au jus that was a total flavor bomb. The coffee drinks were strong, delicious, and not overly sweet. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy. I'm also really happy their brunch menu has more options that don't include egg. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

    I came for brunch with a group of friends after a pickleball game. It was my first time here and now a new favorite breakfast place. We ordered some appetizers such as the parmesan truffle fries, potstickers, chilled shrimp, some matcha and coffee lattes and a couple of breakfast items like the eggs benedict, flower child scramble and the cinnamon french toast. Every item we tried was delicious! The space itself is gorgeous and the vibes were just right for a fun group brunch. Service was attentive and friendly which made the whole experience even better. The Henry definitely lives up to the hype and I will 100% be back with more friends in tow. Highly recommend! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Great food, perhaps the most amateur service I have ever had. Hostess are very unwelcoming almost in a pretentious way. Service is typically on the slow side. Not sure if it's because they are just simply understaffed or pack too many people in. Inside the restaurant does get quite loud. I've visited a few times, hoping for improvement because they have great food but the service is absolutely unprofessional and rude.

    It is so pretty over here. Did you know there was a barista bar? This place offers more than just dine in. Service is so fast even on to-go coffees. I love this location more than the Coronado because it's closer to my house! I have to come back on my birthday with my family, the food is so good and this is one of the most comfortable places to eat and make memories.

    As you can see, I am not lying when I say this is truly my boyfriend and I's favorite place to eat at the moment. We decided to do a movie at Cinepolis yesterday and wanted to grab brunch beforehand. Since this place is always busy (for good reason) I made reservations on OpenTable so that we can experience regular indoor table seating (we always sit at the bar). Our reservations were for 11:30am, Sunday March 23rd, and we arrived to the parking lot 10min early. I found that the BEST place to find parking is to the left after immediately pulling into the Forum Parking Lot (Near Jimbos). There were ample parking spaces to choose from! We arrived at the hostess desk 2 minutes early and both ladies were, as always, so welcoming. They checked us in and quickly guided us to our table. Now...this table location was the absolutely perfect spot for viewing the restaurant. It was towards the back wall nearest the mirrors with writing all over them, and a 2-top that was part of a booth that lined the backwall. Essentially you shared the booth seating with others but the space between each table was far spread enough to where you werent joining in on Susan's 55th birthday party next to you haha! My boyfriend and I loved it. He took the chair seating that was across from my booth seat and our table was a small but mighty size with an adorable touch-activated lamp in the middle which im sure adds some romance in the evening. After admiring our location...our waitress walked up to greet us and introduce herself. Her name was Kayla, and she was AMAZING! She left us with the pretty green leather drink menu so we could peruse to make our decision and also asked if she can get us anything in the meantime. I quickly replied with the spicy tuna & crispy rice appetizer (because its my favorite). Kayla was honestly all smiles, and so sweet she left and got that order put in...then came back within a few minutes for drink orders and entrees. I ordered the wildflower coffee again and also a 9oz. Pour of their Reisling & and my boyfriend ordered an Old Fashioned. The coffee was just as good as I remembered... the Reisling is not a dry one and definitely leans on the slightly sweeter end of the scale (I loved it). They only have one Reisling option, so if you want a white wine that isnt bitter or dry? Go with this. The old fashioned was DELICIOUS ...one that you find yourself sipping on constantly. They even brand their "H" into the ice cube! It's honestly the little things that always amaze me here. For entrees, I went with the Bolognese and my boyfriend went with the Korean Strip Steak. Our appetizer came out shortly after our drinks & our food took a bit longer just like other times we visited BUT I will say they were always busy when this happens AND we werent waiting a horrendous amount of time. Think about freshly made items and how long they take to make and then add 15 minutes on top of that. If im being honest with the enjoyment of our beverages and just looking around the room...you lose track of time anyways! Since we ordered these entrees before...we knew what taste we were looking for in each...and I dont know how but both of our orders were even better than the first time we had them. I have no clue how but again, we were happy...Kayla made it a point to make her rounds to check on us to the point where I didn't have to worry if I needed something. I knew she would be by shortly to see if things were okay, and we loved that! Kayla you're an MVP! We finished our meals, asked for our check and then were visited by who I think was the manager or supervisor on duty that day. She was VERY nice and kind and asked how everything was. I told her obviously, how amazing things were, and she was so happy to hear that. She thanked us for coming in and wished us a good day! This was the first time this happened, so we were happy to see that. After saying goodbye to Kayla, we were again thanked for coming in by the hostesses and the same manager as we left. I wish I could come here every day. I just love the vibe...the food...just everything. Its honestly THE spot. I said it before...and I'll say it again! Just try this spot out!

    Sprouts & Squash salad
    Amanda B.

    The Henry is a completely delicious experience. Bougie. Pricey. Pretty. Yummy. Service is formal except for the hostesses. There is really nice booths and tables inside and a huge covered patio. There is also some uncovered seats on the front walk up. The main attraction is the food and drink. Just divine! Always get the potstickers! I also love to take a walk after to shop at Antro and check clearance at Lululemon. Located in the Forum on the Encinitas/Cbad border near McConnel's Icecream.

    Aperol and Amalfi Spritzes
    rene r.

    GF and I recently met for lunch- loved everything about it! Nice greeting and seating by front desk. Lovely drink and food menu with tons of great options, we had a hard time deciding on both. Exceptional service by Michael. We ordered an Aperol Spritz and an Amalfi Spritz- beautifully presented and delicious. We weren't terribly hungry so we split fried rice, Brussels, and Carmalized sweet potatoes. We ate every bit. All amazing flavors and complements. Cute atmosphere too. My new fave restaurant!

    Outside table. Pretty warm, they have heaters.
    Natalie D.

    Great experience on a Saturday night. Went @ around 5:30pm. We got to sit on the patio section. I was afraid it would be too cold, but surprisingly the heaters keep the patio area really nice and warm. I noticed they also provide you with small blankets if you ask them. We got a server that was in training, and she was extremely sweet and efficient. I forgot to get her name, but the whole staff were excellent. I had my all time favorite harvest bowl and a winter sangria. Food arrived really fast and drink was perfect. This was my first time at the Carlsbad location, I usually go to the on in Coronado. Such a great experience.

    Beans and Sprouts with added shrimp.
    Vicki A.

    Went here for a team luncheon! The food was and service were great! The Great- The Crab Cake was one of my favorites and the beans and sprouts salad was to die for! The Good - The EC Old Fashion was excellent The Bad - NA The Ugly - NA We had a nice experience here. While I wasn't "wowed" I do intend to come back and try more dishes here! Great location at the forums as well.

    California California Burrito or Bowl
    Mariness D.

    Came here for brunch. Our server Randall was awesome. He made sure the 5 of us got everything we needed, including some recommendations when we asked for it. Service was 10/10. As far as the food, I had the California bowl. Though it was good, it wasn't really what I was expecting, as it was more of an omelette. Crispy rice was ok, and the truffle fries were amazing, so overall I'd give the food I had 6/10. As far as the drinks, they have one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had, so that's 11/10. Overall, this is a place to check out when in Carlsbad.

    Is the outdoor seating quiet?

    This is a fairly large, busy restaurant. I would not consider it especially quiet in or outside.

    Is the patio dog-friendly?

Additionally, the coffee mug I was given appeared dirty, which added to my concerns about overall cleanliness. I later felt sick and experienced symptoms consistent with food poisoning, possibly related to the meal. For the quality of food and service provided, the pricing felt unreasonably high. The overall experience did not reflect the cost. I'm really disappointed with the lack of quality control and how the situation was handled. I hope management takes food safety, cleanliness, and customer service more seriously moving forward.
