I really want to like Henri's. We enjoy supporting local restaurants and I believe Henri's is locally owned. We are in our early-mid thirties who enjoy getting away from the kids everyone-in-awhile for a nice dinner. \r

I had the 6 oz top sirloin with mashed potatoes and vegetable. The sirloin was perfectly cooked and flavorful. I had a glass of their chardonney which was also very good. My husband had the pork loin with baked potato and vegetable. The loin was tender, but a little overcooked and dry. \r
\r
This restaurant encompesses each of: the good, the bad, and the ugly!\r
The good: The sirloin, wine, house salad and service.\r
The bad: The mashed potatoes with gravy tasted like paste and from a box. The vegetable was overcooked corn that tasted from a can. \r
The ugly: The decor is very outdated. The christmas wrapping paper around the posts, ontop the piano and lobby desk has to go! Their is a mix of very nice wall sconces and picture molding and 80's ish wall art.\r
\r
My suggestions for ambience are to get rid of the sketchy '80s wall art. Playup the nice moldings and beautiful sconces. Soften up the tables with just white tablecloths...get rid of the red and blue tablecloths! The candlelight is inviting, but does not make up for tacky decor!\r

Henri's has potential to be great again. I wish the owners would put a little effort into ambience and decor, prepare ALL food from scratch (no boxed mashed potatoes) and provide a vegetable that is healthful and doesn't taste from a can. If I hear these things are fulfilled we will go back. Until then...
Pros: Perfectly cooked Sirloin, Very Good service
Cons: Awful mashed potatoes, tacky decor, outdated
