Everything here is wonderful. The cocktails are top notch and the quality and preparation of the food is excellent. My only wish would be that they would offer more gluten-free options. Their soy-sauce contains gluten and many items that could be gluten free are off limits if your immune system sees gluten as an invader. That said we enjoyed this dinner here as we have others in the past. Our server Michael is outstanding! He cares for guests with warmth and efficiency that feels personal.

What an unforgettable experience at Henley! I was celebrating a special occasion, and the entire team made me feel incredibly special. The manager was so welcoming, and Ally was absolutely wonderful! She recommended a delicious cocktail based on my preference for sweet drinks. The food was amazing, the atmosphere beautiful, and the service exceptional. I truly felt like a princess! Thank you for making my evening so memorable😍
