We've been in the Gorge for 2 weeks now, this was our best meal so far. We were going to sit outside, but too noisy with all the traffic. Interior is nicely decorated, we sat in a booth. I didn't get photos of our starters, but they were great - try the fermented vegetables. The goat cheese and chutney with focaccia was excellent, the cheese wasn't overly "goaty". We had the rockfish (pictured), and I really liked the light crispy outside of the fish and the nice tapenade. Not sure I remember the name of the desert, but whatever it was...we thought it was going to be too much for 2 people, but we ended up licking the plate clean. Wow. Service was very friendly and helpful - they had good recommendations too. A delightful evening was had by all. We'll be back for an encore. read more

Always loved Henni's for great atmosphere inside and out. The food was reliably cvery good and the service always top shelf. We hadn't been for a few months but ordered our go to Salmon for me and steak for her. First off I hadn't noticed the menu change so that's on me so expected cedar plank salmon with garlic mashed potatoes and a vegi medley. Instead I got a tiny cut of salmon on top of some overpowering rice crap that was awful and overpowered the salmon. Her steak was over cooked. Something has changed but with wine and 20% we were at $300 for a total crap meal. Too bad but they must have a new cook or ?? Well at least the local wine was terrific and the service polite and prompt. We didn't complain which would have just made the experience worse. read more

The service was good. The guys next to us said the burger was delicious. Since I had eaten a burger the night before I decided on the steak. The steak was very small but good. The little side salad was good but the potatoes were not edible. They were so dry that even with the sauce provided I couldn't eat them. I should have ordered the burger. read more

wow seriously the best service i have gotten in months. the vegan options were incredible & i felt so satisfied. sat outside and the city cat came up to us and gave us some loves too. 100/10 experience. you've gotta try the cauliflower!! read more

Service was great. Ambiance is always good especially with the Harp music. The food is excellent. One recommendation for the Caesar salad dressing. Leave the creamy but does not have any flavor. Needs something. I am confident you will figure it out. Thank you and thanks for the experience read more

Ate here for dinner after my husband's flight school. Nice atmosphere, was greeted kindly and service was great! Ordered Pork Chop w/ gnocchi...meat a little overcooked, but nice flavor and the gnocchi was excellent! My husband enjoyed the salmon dish. Our nice server comped a dessert for the pork chop mishap. read more

Nice place with nice decor. Very good food. We had a large party, so we ordered lots of different appetizers, drinks and mains. It was all very good! I got the salmon and it was of the best tasting salmon I have ever had, unique flavoring and uniquely cooked. So good! Only reason star was deducted was for the very slow service. We came in middle of week, so the place was pretty dead and so service should have been faster. Would def come back tho. read more

A+ customer service! We had a rather large large group and a couple of members had too much to drink and we're a bit rude to our waiter and restaurant manager, this was of course rather embarrassing for the rest of the group. Despite the rudeness, we were taken care of with incredible kindness. I implore you to try the golden beet salad, it was so delicious, and I can't stand purple beets! My burger was a little over cooked, but pretty tasty! Ambiance is very cool, love the wall paper and overall style. read more

The food is amazing! The starters with the sauces are incredible. Calamari, focaccia, beef skewers, gnocchi, asparagus, and desert was to die for. We'll be back! read more

Very over priced. The food is fine but they haven't changed up the menu in years. Service is hit or miss

If you're ever out in the Hood River/White Salmon area, please try this restaurant! We ordered the mussels, steak, calamari, and peri peri wings. The standout stars for me were the absolutely delicious mussels with coconut saffron broth and the peri peri wings. The broth is so flavourful and unlike anything I have had before with mussels. The peri peri seasoning and sauce on the wings is 100% finger-lickin' good! Service was also excellent and quick. Definitely recommend this place! read more

The food was amazing the service was top notch!! The humus was perfect and the salad was delicious. Cocktails were interesting and delicious. Just Go!! read more

Went in with my wife and sat at the bar. We were planning on having dinner and of course a few cocktails to start. I asked the bartender a few questions about how he made a particular drink; his response was less than professional. He made a sarcastic comment and put a bottle on the counter in front of me and said "with this", and walked away. We are frequent diners in the area and have enjoyed this restaurant in the past; however, we decided to leave without ordering because we felt the experience would not be enjoyable due to how rude the bartender was. We will likely go back in the future, but it will be a while before we do. Maybe the bartender will learn to appreciate the importance of his clientele soon. read more

This place is such a gem! They have the best salmon we have ever tasted. They said it was made by soaking a plank of wood in water and putting it on top of the salmon on the grill. It was divine! My drink was also delicious! The vibe of this place is comfortable but high-end, like a craft cocktail bar. Loved it! read more

Overpriced. The menu is somewhat interesting but so overpriced. $23 for a hamburger in White Salmon is just ridiculous. Some of the small plates are good but you end up spending way too much on a meal here compared to other restaurants here or in Hood River. It's just not worth the price you pay. Wait staff are rude. Manager was rude. Just go elsewhere. read more

This place was recommended from our host in Carson. The little restaurant fills up fast and quite a unique little restaurant for fine dining that would seem hard to find out in the mountains. My steak was cooked to perfects and the sides were just as delicious as the steak. The blue cheese dressing on the greens were so refreshing! read more

Henni's Kitchen and Bar - Piedmontese - Burgers Near Me - White Salmon, Washington

My husband and I moved from a trendy area of Portland, OR to quaint little White Salmon, WA about 18 months ago. We were already fans of Everybody's Brewery, but had zero experience with any of the small restaurants along Jewett. We finally went to Henni's after reading some reviews and we were blown away! It rivals any steakhouse in Portland, and it's way more laid back. The menu is fun, familiar but with a few surprises. The staff is excellent, engaging and fun to talk to. The wine list is a good size that was obviously well thought out by someone who loves wine. It is now our favorite dinner spot, and the restaurant we always take friends and family to when they're visiting. read more

Best food ever, it was delicious well be eating there again for sure the service was amazing, drinks where delicious, the ambiance was perfect five stares read more

I really like the happy hour at Henni's and the people have always been great. The only area I'd love to see them improve is the overuse of their outdoor heaters. I understand wanting to get additional business by enticing people to sit under the warm heaters, but on multiple occasions I have seen the heaters on with nobody under them or on a nice day. To me this is very wasteful. I'm very concerned about the climate crisis and spewing carbon into the atmosphere that will impact us and our children for years to come. I would love them to think more about the environment and when the heaters are truly needed, versus having them on as the default. read more

The ambiance is spot on. Nice dinner music, cozy booth seating and relaxed atmosphere. Very attentive and friendly staff. The food surpassed my expectations. The presentation, and how well the dishes were prepared made it a delightful experience. Well done! read more

We have moved to the Portland area and I hadn't been here in 1.5 to 2 years. This is my after rafting go-to place. They were able to immediately seat our party of 7. The waitress was harried as they had a computer issue that had to be resolved and agreed to honor the happy hour menu. Excellent. Bad news is she would be a few minutes before she could wait on us. That's reasonable enough. The shocker is EVERY ONE OF MY FAVORITE GO TO DISHES IS NO LONGER ON THE MENU OR HAPPY HOUR MENU. The menu now consists of burgers, fish and chips, pasta dishes or peculiar dishes of pickles or kale. Must be trying to cater to a few of the vegetarians out there. A menu change is unavoidable but they took their savory fusions and went normal. Are they competing with the burger joint across the street? I ordered the bacon blue cheese burger and fries. My husband had the happy hour fish taco and a pork dish of some sort. He kept having to salt the pork dish. His fish taco dripped down his arm with the mild flavored sauce. My burger was acceptable, the fries were wicked salty. My friend had a happy hour burger which she did not care for, truffle fries were tasty but very oily. She loved the calamari. Margarita was good. The drink special was a huckleberry daiquiri which I would actually correct to say it was a huckleberry martini. Very different expectation. Henni's please bring back your divine curry dishes, your tater tots, your old menu was amazing and unique. This menu is just bar food and I'll just cross the street for that. I am changing my rating due to slow and stressed service, a 20% gratuity for a large party was too high for such slow service and most places would do 18% which would have been appropriate for the slow service and meal arrival, the food was sub par for what was offered. For the waitress response when I said I missed the old menu of "well you should find the owner and tell her what you think because they won't listen to me". Well tell me why you didn't send her over to me? Why do I need to hunt the owner down? If I hear that the menu has changed I'll come back and try it. For now, I'll head over to Hood River for food. read more

Incredible from start to finish. We went on a Friday night and had a delightful experience. The service was welcoming and helpful from the hostess, our waitress, the owner. The ambiance was warm and and comfortable. And the food, oh yes, the food: oh so good. Each dish was so unique and delicious in its own way - it was so difficult to choose, so we ordered a LOT... and ate it all! Great veggie dish options with complex flavors and textures and the meat/fish options all looked pretty incredible- I had the pork chop that was a tad dry but the buttery drizzle on top compensated well. Definitely trying one of their steak options next time. Lastly the desert was perfectly balanced on sweetness and surprisingly light. And don't overlook the sauces or crispy potatoes - best I've ever had. The overall experience feels sufficiently classy without being stuffy - definitely our new favorite date night spot. We live in the area so we are so glad to have a new world-class eatery - don't know how it took us so long to try it. Bravo Henni's! read more

For our 27th anniversary we took the recommendation of a neighbor and are glad we did. We were immediately seated at one of the charming copper-topped tables by the window looking out on the Xmas-lit main street. The real candle was a nice touch, and I warmed my hands on it. We ordered the grilled cauliflower, gnocchi, and a caesar salad. All were rich and flavorful. Our waitress was attentive and helpful, brought a second wine to taste unasked after my sweetheart rejected the first, and we ordered a glass, which went great with the gnocchi. The caesar was unlike any I have had before, a bit heavily dressed for my taste but so flavorful with fresh, tasty croutons; I ordered foccaccia after my first bites to contrast with the intense flavors. The gnocchi likewise was full of deep, complex flavors, the lemon being a genius touch. The cauliflower was very nice, but less interesting than the other dishes, and the goat cheese-plumsauce-pistachio accompaniment to the foccacia didn't do much for me. But what was good was so good! The dessert menu looked marvelous, but we were too full. We will look forward to sweets with our next Henni's meal. read more

Food: The beets were delicious and unique flavors that I've never had before. Definitely worth trying. The mussels with the saffron broth were another appetizer and so good. We used the bread to eat the leftover broth and could've eaten more. Our favorite thing we ordered from the night. The pork chop with gnocchi was also delicious and very filling. The gnocchi was the ultimate comfort food without feeling too heavy. I would recommend coming here and making a reservation. read more

Fantastic! Great food, service, & local wine. Try the burger! Five star. Local, small-town and perfect.

Not a great experience! Given the pricing, we anticipated a great and tasty meal. We ordered the sirloin steak and Goan chicken curry. Neither was particularly great. The steak was served cold and had to be sent back. It was also very tough and honestly, quite tasteless. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper which is not a good sign for a $27 steak. The curry would have been better had there been a little more sauce in the bowl as it was quite dry for a curry. The server was a nice guy just not very attentive. I.e. we had to flag him down and request refills. He also came back twice and asked if we wanted dessert. Not sure if he was overwhelmed or if waiting tables is not his calling. I am not usually a complainer but this was unfortunately not a compelling experience. read more

Very limited menu and not many options for vegetarian diners. Was there for a birthday party dinner and ended up with a salad as my only option. I would have considered chicken (they were out), seafood or fish, but none on the menu. Chef needs to seriously expand the menu. Salad was ok, but unsatisfying experience. read more

The food and atmosphere was amazing! We sat outside and the heaters were perfect. Two of my friends wanted a drink that was not on the menu and the bartender was not only happy to make something for them, but he came out personally to deliver it and tell us what he made. read more

We had a memorable meal here last night (10/16/2021). From the cocktails to wings to the steak, there was not a dish in our party of five that wasn't amazing. The lamb, burger, and fried potatoes were as good as I have had in recent memory. The service was also friendly, professional, and laid back at the same time. It will be tough to have dinner anywhere else in the Gorge, which is saying a lot. read more

Excellent food and friendly staff. We had the salmon fritters, Ribeye and donuts for dessert. All was delicious.

Hiked Dog Mountain today and were looking for a 'splurge' meal to treat ourselves after a big hike. First impression was Kool and the Gang blaring 'Celebration' way too loud through an empty restaurant. We were seated quickly by a server who seemed hesitant and unsure but pleasant. BF ordered the special, a whole trout which came with a salad. It was a very small fish and it was quite bland. The salad was small and uninteresting. It was not a filling meal. I ordered the sirloin steak. 10 ounces of tough, chewy meat that was under-seasoned and not awesome. Smashed potatoes were also un-seasoned. The mushrooms were delicious however. Still would have rather had 5 ounces of tender yummy steak than 10 ounces of chewy steak. We didn't stay for dessert - just disappointed. read more

Fantastic location in White Salmon, friendly staff and amazing food. Best burger I have had in a long time. Highly recommend!

I was really impressed with this restaurant. Our party of four had three different items, all of which were perfectly prepared with interesting sides. Spatchcock chicken with a tangy, hot chili sauce, housemade pickles, and crispy smashed potatoes; two dinners of Teres Major Steak with a romesco sauce and same potatoes; a starter, Tombo Tuna, seared rare. Three Caesar salads with tons of flavor and a delicious House salad with pickled whole garlic cloves. Nice selection of wines by the glass, including a Langhe Nebbiolo, and a dessert wine from Hungary, Tokaji Aszu. Highly recommended; great staff. read more

Hennis. I am a big foodie and this is my "go to" spot in the Gorge. II have been here over 30 times and counting. Here are the things I absolutely love from their menu: Small plates: Roasted Butternut Squash Steak Bruschetta Pasta: Fettucini with gorgonzola and mushrooms (sooooo amazing). The Henni's Burger is very good as well. They grind and season their own beef, bake their own buns, make their own pickles, etc. The curries are also amazing and have large portions. What makes Hennis stand out even more is their rotating specials. If they have gnocchi - get it! Christiaan also makes this from scratch. Other favorites lately have been the parmesan polenta with crispy pork and truffle oil. The flavor combination is perfect. And lastly... lets talk Cocktails. Michael is pure genius. They are all very imaginative, have great presentation and no joking, he sometimes comes up with these babies in his sleep. Huckleberry Press is my favorite. They will also get fresh fruit when it is in season preserve it or make their own purees so all winter long, you will get some unique goodness. read more

Very much a place to have on your list if you are in the area. 1. Service is excellent. Staff is well trained with prompt answers to any questions you have on the menu. 2. Our portions were very generous. During happy hour you can easily make a meal of the appetizers. 3. The beer and wine selection are sound. They have some very interesting cocktails. 4. The atmosphere is bright, clean and inviting. 5. Parking is pretty easy to find on the side streets. Friday night is surprisingly busy in the booming White Salmon metropolis of 2500 residents. read more

We stopped in for a HH respite from the heatwave rolling through the Northwest. We had a couple of cocktails and shared the Calamari (just ok) and the crispy pork (excellent) along with a couple of cocktails. The bartender really did a nice job on the cocktails. The Negroni Superior was particularly tasty. read more
