Restaurant Review: Henry’s End
When my mother-in-law was visiting recently, the husband and I took a walk up to our favorite Italian restaurant in the Northern Heights, Noodle Pudding. There was the usual 45-minute wait and even a wave of my very pregnant belly couldn’t help score us a table. So we decided to try Noodle’s neighbor, Henry’s End… and we are so glad we did!
A cozy spot known for serving game during the fall and winter (we had an outstanding buffalo steak), Henry’s End also has great southern fried chicken, a wide selection of veal dishes, superb seafood, and an array of duck dishes. A delicious house salad is served to all diners, along with the obligatory bread basket. There is also the extensive and reasonably priced wine list, many of which are available by the glass. We were way too stuffed to try the dessert menu, but the choices sounded delicious!
Perhaps what most impressed us about Henry’s End was the service. The friendly waitstaff are true professionals and take pride in their restaurant. We found them to be extremely knowledgeable in recommending dishes and pairing wine and beer with the meals.
We recommend Henry’s End for a date night or going out with friends. Sorry Noodle Pudding, we have a new favorite spot in the Heights!

I lived over on Columbia Heights back in 02 and that place was always good. Are they still serving Elk there? That dish is delicious.

[...] We’ve heard some great things about the Wild Game Festival at Henry’s End — a special menu of weird animal meats, ranging from rattlesnake to ostrich to kangaroo to elk — but we’ve never worked up the nerve to actually try it. (It’s not so much that we’re afraid of, say, Buffalo Rib Eye with Roasted Corn Sauce, but we’re afraid of spending $33.50 on an entree that might be too gamey to really enjoy.) But this wild menu is only served from October through February, so if we’re going to try it, we’ve got to act soon. According to local blogger 53 Boerum, “Henry’s End also has great southern fried chicken, a wide selection of veal dishes, superb seafood, and an array of duck dishes… Sorry Noodle Pudding, we have a new favorite spot in the Heights!” So, is Henry’s End as good as it’s cracked up to be — and is it better than Noodle Pudding? And if we go, what should we order? Wild Game Menu [Henry’s End] Restaurant Review: Henry’s End [53 Boerum] [...]

Its’ funny how you’d never think of a spa as a place to find a great restaurant. I’ve come across a hideaway of sorts down on Park Ave (In Clinton Hill) INSIDE of a the chocolate factory building. I decided to stop by and grab a drink. Interestingly their brunch menu caught my eye (they had things like Classic Irish Breakfast, Cinnamon French Toast, Croque Monseur as well as a shrimp and tomato frita-yum). Not only did I have my fill but I had a free mimosa included when I paid to use their sauna area. A great place to hang out as well as catch an early morning bite to eat on a sunday.
