I have been going here for around the last 15 years. A great restaurant with great service and even better food. I have never had a bad meal here- the steak au poivre is to die for (I often like to order a side of mushrooms with it). read more

We have been coming here about annually for the past 10 years. It's a long trek from CT, but it's worth it. We love wild game and this place knows how to bring out the best in it. Walnut crusted chicken was so surprisingly delicious. The elk chop superb. The duck (both sour cherry sauce and ginger soy) were more than expected. The deserts are not a strong point here. Mediocre. Particularly in contrast to the strong medley of flavors in the main courses. Still, we will be back! read more

My boyfriend found this restaurant on Yelp so we decided to go. The atmosphere in here is nice and cozy. The kitchen is open so if you sit by the back you can look over and see the cooks preparing the meals. I ordered the Prix Fixe menu, Spring Onion soup, which was good. As an entree I had Walnut Crusted Chicken Breast with a side order of mashed potatoes, it was amazing! And for dessert I got the chocolate banana bread pudding. It was good and was enough to share with my boyfriend. My boyfriend ordered the Mixed Game Grill which featured elk chops, stuffed quail, and rabbit sausage. He's the more adventurous one when it comes to ordering different things. He really loved this dish! I would definitely suggest this place and I plan on going back! read more

Henry's End - Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

From the old-school waiters and waitress (Hi Bonnie) who've been there for 20-some years to the well-mannered owner Mark, this is a place where you quickly become family to the staff. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, but also nice and loud, so you can confess your love to your partner but not worry about anyone else actually hearing it. I've been going here on and off since I moved to Brooklyn 20 years ago and have NEVER had a less than stellar dining experience. From the lobster penne in tomato cream sauce to the chicken dishes to the steak, it's always on the money. The Prix Fixe is a steal and I highly recommend the apple cobbler with a scoop of vanilla for dessert. I no longer live in Brooklyn Heights (or even NY for that matter) but whenever I make it back to Terminal 5 at JFK, I can almost smell the scent of Henry's End singing to me like a Siren. Bon Appetit! read more

Updating to include some photos. My prior review still stands. "When I want Duck - this is my go-to place. It's ALWAYS good - and we're talking for over 30 years always good!! Dining in - tables are really close together - Tables for 2 can be difficult to hold all the plates - you're better off taking a 3d wheel and getting a table for 4!" read more

Pricy for the food they serve. Don't like there strict reservation policy. Waters make you feel like your just a costumer. There food an service is not worth the price. read more

This is a bold statement... but Henry's End may have one of the best menus in all of New York City. Just go. The end.

You could pass its nondescript storefront by but you should NOT! I had the honey-ginger duckling, my wife had the Steak Diane. Both were incredible. The duck was the best I have had for years (and there was a lot of duck consumed in those years). Also, the mashed potatoes were creamy and dripping with butter. Like the Terminator, "WE'LL BE BACK!" read more

My wife and I and friends have been coming to this restaurant for years. We are disappointed that the dishes now do not include rice and a few vegetables. The cost is probably around 50 cents. Dishes like mash potatoes which tasted like instant mashed potatoes do not go with Sole with Lobster. Then there is the glare from the sun shining from the building right across from the restaurant. It's not like there is a fantastic view, there is no view. Anyway the glare makes enjoying the experience very unpleasant to say the least. Everyone would want to sit across from their loved one, not side by side. Then there is the wine. Chardonnays that are eleven years old are usually not good as was the case with this wine. They used to have very good wine at fairly high prices, now the wine is more expensive and is not a good quality. Then there is the atmosphere which is not the same as the previous location which was dark and romantic instead the new place is very bright and sterile. Bring back the candles like they had before. And the wait staff has much to be desired. They are not very friendly as in they take your order and someone else brings you your order. The waiter did not even thank us for the tip! Non the less, the owner tries his best to be accommodating. He does need to be open to installing some nice shades to cut down on the glare, improve his wine selection and include rice and vegetables with dishes as he did before. Also I would suggest that he warmly greet his guests to make them feel special. Why do things have to change for the worst! read more

This spring Brooklyn Heights stalwart Henry's End was forced to move from their location of 46 years to a new corner space a block away on Henry Street due to a extensive building renovation. Last night, we had dinner at the new location for the first time. I am very happy to report owner Mark Lahm and the Henry's staff have made the transition with flying colors. The food was outstanding, as always -- soft shell crabs, duck and spring onion soup were all delicious. The congenial and knowledgeable service, a hallmark of the establishment, was firmly in place. I feel compelled to write this review as others have had less-than-kind things to say about the new location. I can't comment on what the restaurant may have been like in the days immediately following the reopening, but it is now clearly on firm footing. The new space is, in many respects superior to the old. Of course, we all loved the old space. Its deficits were part of its charm. Long and narrow, cramped, dark, crowded, with little space between the tables, the raised, open kitchen allowed almost intimate contact with the kitchen staff as they worked their magic. All that is gone, and the kitchen is now downstairs, which alters a lot of the serving logistics. But we have a brighter, more open corner restaurant with windows on two sides, and outside seating in the warm months. It's an airier Henry's End, which may lack some of the charms of the old -- indeed, after 46 years, the original Henry's had the feeling it had simply grown there -- but it is undeniable that if one were shopping for new restaurant space and had to choose between the two, the new space would be the hands down pick. Mark Lahm has made wise choices: his specials are more limited, and he has dispensed with the rice and green bean side that used to accompany every meal, keeping it simple as they adjust to the new surroundings. I'm sure that the specials menu will grow as they develop a new routine. In the meantime, one can enjoy selections off the main menu previously neglected because the specials were always so extensive and good! So, fear not! Return to Henry's End! All is well! read more

Always a fabulous meal, great service. Varied menu. Love this place!

I used to live in Brooklyn Heights about 30 years ago and ate there. It's still as good (and popular) as it was then. Food is excellent as is the service. Whenever I go back to NYC, I make it a point to stop in. Three times ago with my son, two times ago with my daughter, and last time with my new wife. Can't recommend Henry's End highly enough. read more

A new friend in the Heights suggests that we eat local so I immediately scan my trusty Yelp app to reconnoiter the area. We lived here in the mid-80's but by now, things have changed! She's not a big fan of tomato-based Italian food, in an admonishing tone, says "it's the nightshade family!" It's fine. Anyone who reads my posts knows that I'm an Italian food junkie, but I'm in a mood for something different. After hemming and hawing, we walk up to Henry Street and decide on Henry's End. Charlie the dog is lying near the entrance and gives us a friendly greeting. I ask him if he'd like a martini and he jumps up and wags his tail. My kind of dog!! It's a fairly nice evening so we decide to sit outside. My friend's been under the weather but agrees that we should order a nice bottle of red wine. Matthew our waiter suggests a montepulciano and it's superb. We share a walnut vinaigrette salad with mushrooms. It's a perfect starter. The menu has two duck entries, we each order a different one. My duck is Asian style honey ginger, Crisp skin, not fatty at all, almost like Peking duck. I love it. My friend's duck is more ragu style, with mushrooms, equally delicious. The conversation is animated and flowing. But wait, something's missing! We realize there's no side dish. We signal Matthew who apologizes and offers to get us sautéed asparagus on the house. He also offers free dessert. Wow what a nice gesture! We top the meal off with apple cobbler and tiramisu. Coffee and espresso. Gee what a great meal! We'll definitely be coming back! Good night Charlie wherever you are! read more

I applaud Henry's End's attempt at a wild game menu. The food was tasty, if a bit traditional. It would have been even tastier if the game were allowed to show through more with less of a heavy dressing and preparation. We really enjoyed the... Turtle Soup - robust and warming Elk Chop - tender with a bit of gaminess Blood Sausage - one of the best I've had Service was good, welcoming and friendly. Space was very cozy. Atmosphere was warm and informal. read more

Henry's End - Mixed game grill - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fifteen years. I've been going there for fifteen years at least a couple times a year and it's just as good now as it was in the beginning. Such creative food, they have introduced me to so many different kinds of food I never thought I would touch. Every person I've introduced to this restaurant was completely blown away. Staff is courteous and professional. I feel like I'm eating in a close friends restaurant. Mud pie. You need this. Yummy and I'm not really a desert person. read more

I had the pleasure to dine at Henry's End twice so far. The first time was in spring and the second time in fall. They have different seasonal menus. The first time I had a delicious salmon and cous cous dish. The second time me and my boyfreind went there unaware of their wild game festival. So it was a pretty fun night because we had to decide between stick to the usual or venture into... Kangaroo meat! We had the kangaroo and it was very good, tender with sweet notes of berry (since the marination) and served with sweet potatoes and spinach. Our wild board pappardelle were also great, I felt like I was in Italy for one second! The wait staff was impeccable, both times. I really like the atmosphere of Henry's End, there's something special quite cinematic about it, almost a vibe of what you imagine Brooklyn was years back. read more

Henry's End - Marinated Kangaroo, sweet potatoes, spinach and wild berries sauce. - New American Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This used to be our favorite, a neighborhood gem, but as the prices have gone up the quality has declined. We're a pass there are much better places in the neighborhood. I've gone there for two decades but no more. read more

First a move to a very unwelcoming interior. Then a price raise all over. Then no more vegetables with entrees. Then a liquor raise. All before covid. Not good. Also food quality has gone downhill since the move. read more

Outstanding! Very talented chefs they have create an outstanding, robust menu. Not a lot of tables and, filled in on a Wednesday night. People like atmosphere, I like food.....this is the place for the latter. I heard they were moving to accommodate more guests after 40 + years. I hope they bring the charm this place had. read more

It was a delicious dinner. We didn't order anything from the Game (meat) festival, Marco C. ordered duck with wild mushroom and berries and I went for the prefix (Mon-Thur, $25). The prefix consists of appetizer (I had butternut squash bisque), entree (Mustard seed encrusted Tuna) and dessert (Persian Lime Pie). The duck was simple and well done, the skin was crunchy and the meat was moist. The bisque was good and my medium cooked tuna was tasty and very "mustard-y". The Persian lime pie was the perfect finish with the tartness to wrap it up. The portions were generous for a prefix, I couldn't finish all my entree and I shared my dessert. I was very full at the end of meal. The duck dish was big, my fiance had a hard time finishing it (I help him a little, who can say no to a nicely cooked piece of duck with berry sauce!?). Next time we will share a prefix plus another side and appetizer. The waiters are quiet and no-frills but they are attentive, refills your water all the time. You can tell the kitchen was on full throttle, despite the restaurant being almost full, our food came out quickly. You won't find elegant or romantic decor at Henry's End, but you will find good food that's for sure. read more

Do you sometimes get an intense, primitive craving for something, and you absolutely can't rest until you get it? Is that something kangaroo? If the answer to the above questions were "yes" and "yes", Henry's End is your place. They have one of the most extensive game selections I've seen, and have a whole menu section devoted to duckling! Their non-gamey menu, which I stuck to last night, is pretty impressive too. The blood orange and goat cheese salad was light and fresh, nicely counterbalanced by the West Indian BBQ shrimp I had for my main, which was smothered in possibly the best BBQ sauce I've had. Seriously! After the shrimp were gone I think I ate like 4 large pieces of bread just trying to sop it all up and get it into my belly. Also tried my friends' penne w/ lobster sauce (DIVINE) and fried chicken (WHOA). I'm so excited Henry's End is so close to my apartment--it's the kind of place you want to go back to over and over again and try everything on the menu. Next time I'll definitely have to get my game on. Wow. Worst joke ever??? read more

Salmon with three-mustard sauce. Truffle fries. Melt-in-your mouth snowpeas. I know the point is the wild game menu, but when the offerings on the regular menu are this good, who can think about the rest? read more

OK, so Henry's End is no secret since it's been around for like a BILLION years, but it might be a secret to YOU, dear reader. If it IS new to you, (shhh) keep it between us. Don't share this amazing secret with anyone else...! I've been eating at Henry's End since I was a Little Person. Though you'll be sitting amidst WASPY Heights' families who all look like they Summer on Cape Cod and drink G and T's (and probably do!) they are still a lovely bunch of customers, as is the waitstaff. Couldn't be nicer. The famous Bonnie is a Brooklyn treasure. Also a writer, I hear. She will make you feel like you've come home. Simple as that. I couldn't count, over the years, the number of Chicken Lemonese I've eaten, but let me tell you: There are less chickens in Brooklyn Heights because of ME. This dish is the shizzle. Or, since it's made in Brooklyn Heights, it's the Hizzle. The Ozark ribs? There's a genius somewhere who created this spicy smokey sweet BBQ sauce, and I want to say, "I love you man/woman" just for that sauce. Ribs fall right off the bone. Come ON now! The mustard seed crusted tuna? YES please. It's everything you want in a tuna steak. They caught that mo'fo' eight MINUTES before you sat down. Crab cakes for appetizers for sure. I haven't had dessert in years, I get too full! I will update nxt time I'm able to find room! :) read more

Henry's End Restaurant. One of the gems of Brooklyn that I go to when I can, because it is a little heavy on the wallet, but I think it's worth the dough. For a good portion of the year (mostly winter), they have their "Wild Game Festival", which is totally my thing, love me some wild game. The wild game menu items change, but they are posted on their website, saying what is served on what day. I've eaten kangaroo in a red wine sauce, and it was heavenly. Animals usually taste a little bit of what they eat, and since kangaroos eat mostly fruit, berries, and plants, the meat itself had a fruit-like taste. It was good. I've also had the herb crusted elk chop, served with mushrooms and fresh spring vegetables, and that was great as well. The flavors really complimented each other, and the elk chop was cooked just right. The wild boar belly was also good, think bacon, but with distinct differences. The turtle soup I've had on more than one occasion and it's never let me down. The rabbit is superb as well. The owner is usually there and greets me by name, which is always welcoming. Bonnie the waitress is one of the sweetest old ladies that always treats me like a grandchild, and warms my heart. She's great and has been a fixture there for a while. So, servicewise, it's wonderful. Food-wise, it's fantastic, confused after reading some bad reviews of Henry's End, maybe those experiences were just flukes, because everytime I leave there I have a full belly and a smile on my face. I'm also a part of the 'Birthday Club' which entitles you to a free dinner entree with a max. value of $20, which is valid a week before or after your birthday. When I went for my birthday it was the first time I went there outside of the "Wild Game Festival". I ordered the wild mushroom & lingonberry duckling which contained portobello and morel mushrooms, shallots, thyme, brandy and lingonberries. The duck was cooked perfectly, crispy skin, tender, moist, flavorful meat. The dish really worked out, and my compliments to the chef. I will continue to patronize Henry's End Restaurant, especially during the "Wild Game Festival". Definitely in my Top 20 restaurants in New York City. I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

If you want a brilliant dining experience, be pampered with great service, all while enjoying amazingly prepared food...Henry's End is for you. So many restaurants in NYC...and we've been to this restaurant twice in two weeks...it's that good! Our first meal we enjoyed sharing the Kangaroo Potstickers, and the Duckling with Wild Mushrooms, shallots, thyme, and lingonberries. With this we enjoyed a bottle of Tempore Joven 2004, from Agagon Spain. Everything was amazing. Our second trip we shared the Buffalo Hanger Steak with Housemade Steak Sauce and Truffled Fries. Oh WOW...Tender steak! This night we opted for beer and enjoyed "Two Roads "Road 2 Ruin" Double IPA Stratford Connecticut," and "Oskar Blues "Old Chubb" Scotch Ale Brevard, North Carolina." They complimented this meal well for us. Our server, Mike on both nights, was exemplary. And the little inside scoop...the restaurant name is because this restaurant is where Henry Street ends. Go figure...So Very Clever! read more

Place is pretty much a hole in the wall. Almost missed it when I was driving by. When you walk in, they do look pretty "unassuming," however, the food definitely made up for it! Had the West Indian BBQ shrimp and the Salmon Morraacan (both were great! Make sure you try the mudslide as well! Will definitely be back for Round 2! read more

The eastern end Henry Street, cleaved between the established brownstones of Brooklyn Heights and the industrial but refurbished BUMBO neighborhood, can claim some of the best, seldom discussed restaurants in Brooklyn. Running parallel to Smith Street on a map, it runs nowhere near it on the radar. It's just a quick walk for me whereas Smith Street means a trip on the subway or bus, or some pedestrian ambition. Having cycled through each restaurant between Middagh and Clark, I finally wandered in to Henry's End whose façade and name connoted a dive bar. The "wild game festival" menu hanging in the window from October until March persuaded me to make a reservation. Established in 1973 as a local hangout and burger bar, Henry's End inherited that frowzy atmosphere, but chef Mark Lahm worked his way up the restaurant brigade, starting as a busboy and moving through the front of the house. Eventually, Lahm attended the CIA and took over Henry's end in 1986. Somewhere along the line he developed a taste for game. Venison, quail and buffalo are found in many restaurants, but elk, rattlesnake and turtle are a bit harder to come by. The exposed brick and slate tabletops give Henry's End the kind of masculine feel that stuffed heads and other taxidermist bric-a-brac can muster in places like Freeman's and Trophy Bar. The wine list is as steroidal and bold. New World wines from California, and South Africa feature as prominently as whites from Oregon and Washington state. A 2005 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (Panacea) was painfully bold, but a Stag's Leap of the same appellation was velvety enough to enrobe a meal of mushrooms, game and chocolate. A meal can easily become a feast. Ordering a couple of salads to whet our appetites, my beautiful fiancé and I were surprised a large plate piled high with large cubes of beets, whole pistachios and enough chevre to fill out a healthy cheese board. The dish overwhelmed and even threatened the sanctity of an evening out; meanwhile, a mushroom salad tossed with walnuts and perfunctory greens deceived the stomach but warmed the palate with the image of the hunt. Not that any great hunting is taking place at Henry's End. Ostrich comes to Brooklyn by bridge and tunnel. Quails come us from Georgia, perhaps with the Braves when the play the Mets. Stuffed with chard and pomegranate, the tender foul is juicy but the greens added a bitterness that fought against, rather than accentuated, the sweetness of the dish. The wait staff is well trained and polished. The rolled up sleeves of their denim shirts reminded me of trips to Lake Tahoe and the sporty waiters who looked like LL Bean catalogue models, yet at every point in the meal I was attended to and never bothered. As I began to enjoy an herb-crusted elk chop, I noted how fine the cutlery was. Much leaner than beef and pork, the sturdy knife was helpful. The herbs, largely parsley, some lemon zest, peppercorns and breadcrumbs were fine, but I detected a bit of complacency in it. Across from me, I noticed a fine fillet of salmon in a "three mustards" sauce being pulled apart by a fork. A side of garlic mash potatoes was, as the waiter promised, worth the price of the dish. The mustard sauce was deficient though. It was simply lathered across the flesh, it seemed, rather than part of it. While nicely composed, it failed to register anything but satisfaction, if somewhat limited. The finest dish was an antelope au poivre. I expected little more than venison, but antelope in this fashion had the gaminess of wild boar, the texture of beef and the sweetness of the best pork. Lean but succulent, the green peppercorns leached a little more juice from the bone-in steak. While everything was well handled and the kitchen operated with timeliness and care, the desserts were disappointing. A Fonseca Vintage Port capped a nice meal but the Mud Pie that was recommended was served on an icy plate but topped with hot fudge. As anticipated the fudge become little more than troublesome tar. 10pm feels late at Henry's End. The crowd thins out dramatically and we were left with espressos and the chattering accompaniment of four expatriated Italians. Stuffed and exhausted we left to views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. It's not an every night place, or even a monthly spot but once a season it is well worth it. read more

Have given it a very good review in the past and some of the things I said then still hold. Good food, very good service. But there hasn't been an inflation and my income has not increased, but Henry's End now fancies itself high-end and has raised its prices such that prices start at $28.00. Since then, I have gone to the great semi-outdoor restaurant two or three doors down when I can get seating or walked over to Montague St to eat at Armando's which is on a par price-wise of Henry's End but has *really* good food and far less noise! Sorry, but I ended my thirty-five year advocacy of H.E. read more

Ate there last night. Management very accommodating. Got there almost an hour early from reservation but were seated immediately even though seating was in short supply. I got the sole citrus. It was excellent. My son and husband got the strip steaks cook to perfection. Son has celiac disease and there were gluten free options which he was happy to see. Even the clientele were friendly. Must be where the locals dine. Would eat there again. read more

Enjoyable steak, crowded but warm atmosphere. Meal: Really enjoyed my peppercorn steak. Nice cut of meat, prepared well. Side dishes are modest in size, but still enjoyable. Service: Waitress was friendly. Service was a little slow, but our water was kept topped off all night, which we appreciated. Env: Had to squeeze around tables as the restaurant was cramped. But that is part of the atmosphere. Reminded me of a Boston North End Italian restaurant setup (long and narrow). But I wouldn't want to table in the back, about a foot from the bathroom door. Makes for an uncomfortable moment for both parties.. Recommend. read more

Welcomed very quickly and sat immediately. Felt the servers were a little inattentive once our order was placed. Food was amazing! A bit loud for good conversation but overall a great experience read more

As Ms. Tabatha Coffey says (20 times an episode in disgust), "WAOOW". This is place if you like your flavors extremely strong and meats well-seasoned. I'm embarrassed that after living in the area years ago (granted, as a broke college student who went to Henry St Ale house for a big night out) I never thought to give this place a visit. Our server recommended the Moroccan Salmon over the Mustard Salmon which was a better complement to all the bites I was stealing from my girlfriend's Chicken Lemonese. The meat preparation here stands right up to any Michelin-starred place I've been. Will be back asap for the turtle soup! read more

This place is about the food. There are plenty of places in BK Heights that are more hip or have fancier decor, but if you`re more interested in what goes into your mouth than interior design, than this place is well worth a try. The restaurant has been around for decades so it has a nice old-school atmosphere. I loved the slate tables. Came here on a Friday night without a reservation. They were packed, so we had to wait. They have a nice wine bar two doors down where you can go for a drink while waiting and the waiter will come and pick you up when your table is ready. Great! We had a Caesar salad and the Game Charcuterie Plate from their Annual Wild Game Festival menu. The salad was great and the game pate was amazing. Next we tried the duckling with wild mushroom & lingonberry and the steak Diane. Both great, huge portions of meat, pretty spicy and saucy. For sides you get rice and string beans by default, but they have a selection of veggies that you can order. We completely filled up on the meat, so we didn`t need anything extra. Wine selection was good. Our waitress that night had been working there for 3 decades and she was super cool. read more

Went on a Tuesday night around 8pm. Got a table immediately for 2, but the place was pretty busy and LOUD. Pretty decent wine menu (some older vintages and great stuff by the glass) Good beer menu too. I got the Salmon with asparagus and lemon risotto (medium rare). It was cooked past medium but it was still pretty delicious. I really enjoyed the salmon skin and the risotto wasn't too overwhelmingly lemon-flavored. The duckling with wild mushroom and lingonberry was a very large portion and tasted amazing. My dining partner thought it was a bit dry but to each his own. Great service but the place was packed too closely and again, it was loud. Not as suitable for 'date night' as I had imagined. read more

A serious disappointment. There was no game on the menu when I went there, the service was poor and the food was very heavy and uninteresting. The best things I can say is that the wine was nice and they gave us free dessert. Otherwise the decor is terrible and this place is overpriced. read more

Just went here for a dinner on a Thursday night. My lady and I had: - horseradish crusted shrimp (3 tasty shrimp for 10 bucks) - a little pricey, but good. - A half order of Penne w/ venison sausage (the sausage was very good, though I would not order pasta here -that is just the Italian in me.) - The 5 spice blackened Shell steak w/ apple compote (which is served cold, I think it should have been hot)- Good stuff though and the big winner of the night was the - DUCK. we got the berry and mushroom sauce. This was up there with the best duck I have ever had. Cooked perfectly, lots of meat, crispy skin. The meat pulled away in shreds and was not overly fatty. By far the best dish we had. The service here is very good and the wine list is good too. Okay, this was not the most clever review - but you got to hear what we had and now you know to get the duck.... enjoy! read more

WOW where can I start about this amazing Brooklyn treasure! We were the first here for dinner and were met with the warmest faces and kindest people! Our waitress was Bonnie who by herself is a treasure! she has been waitressing at Henrys End for 20+ years. She was so animate when describing the food and how it tastes and the texture. I loved watching her speak! The food was sooo good! I was nervous about eating boars stomach or any kind of liver but let me tell you they both have to be the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. I also had the organic chicken encrusted in almonds yum yum yum!!!!!!!! The dessert called the chocolate confusion just hit the spot! i never had a brownie taste so good and the texture was amazing i think because it was made with pudding, I definitely will come back here again after i save some money because it is quite pricey but worth every single penny!!!!! read more

Henry's End could be a worthwhile destination if you're seeking to eat exotic game meats like Elk, Kangaroo, etc... Other than than access to these hard to find dishes I'd be hard pressed to find a reason to go here. The first issue is that the restaurant is tiny. In itself that might not be too bad but it is so narrow that the tables are close enough that people moving about can't help but hit your chair. The second issue with this is that the noise level is atrocious. I have no issue with a decent level of chatter but it was hard to even hear the person sitting next to me - a small space with brick walls basically traps sound. The second issue is service. The servers were very friendly and professional. Unfortunately, they are hampered by a tiny kitchen resulting in some people getting served before others - if the food isn't ready they obviously can't serve it! If you can get past the noise some of the food is pretty good. Our table enjoyed the ribs, moroccan shrimp, elk chop and veal. Steaks were cooked properly but you're not getting a steakhouse grade cut with great marbling so they're a bit dry. We didn't order separate sides because rice pilaf and green beans were included. We SHOULD have ordered other sides because the pilaf was dry and flavorless and the green beans were undercooked (hard, not "al dente") and looked like they had gone straight from the market to our table - no preparation. The wine list is okay but the prices were a bit steep. For example, Turley Juvenile Zin ($20 from the winery) at $69. In my book there are better places to go when you want to spend around $100 per person on dinner. The whole combination of food, atmosphere and service is just okay - not great. To be fair, the restaurant did hesitate to take a reservation for our group of 8 indicating that they probably knew the size of the room and the size of the kitchen would make it difficult. Had we been a table of 2 (probably the only size table they should have) it might have alleviated some of these issues - but I still think there are far better places for the price point. read more

Came for dinner on Saturday night with reservation. We got duckling, veal, and steak entrees, and a shrimp and country pate appetizer. Everything was tasty, fresh, well cooked. It deserves 3.5 stars really... but not enough to round up to 4. The steak was just a little tough. The duckling entrees were GREAT, I'd recommend those. The country pate was OK, great portions, came with all the fixings. I don't think I'd come back, but I had a good experience. read more
