    Tomato Basil Spaghettini
    Melissa B.

    The service was very friendly, location is great--but the food was extremely disappointing. I hate leaving a negative review and rarely do but I wish I had known what the food would have been like before we went. I got the tomato and basil spaghettini with chicken added. It completely lacked any flavor. I needed to add salt which is rare to do at a restaurant as things usually come over salted. The chicken was poorly seasoned and weirdly cut, the skin of the chicken was served face side down, and extremely soggy with strange cuts in it (I'm assuming the cuts in the chicken were to make it cook faster). Everything felt very plain and basic. My mom got the spinach chicken and it was the same type of chicken I got, but with melted cheese on it over a bed of raw spinach that had zero flavor as well. There was not a single hint of garlic in anything. The sliced bread that came with each plate was basically like sandwich bread and not even toasted or warm. I really wanted to love this place but I'm honestly a little surprised at the other positive reviews--maybe we came on an off day? But one look at the photos of the food would have told me all I needed to know.

    This place was really good loved the vibe. The pizza was soo good love pizza would totally recommend. Will for sure be going back. The service was perfect great attention. We had a party of 13 and everything came out great!!

    Mushroom ravioli

    Disappointing portions. To-go order messed up. Paid for add-on meatball but not received.

    Shrimp salad

    Riley and Alfonso. YOU BOTH DID AN AMAZING JOB. Both of the 2 young people were short staffed but they were handling the customers with a smile. I would love to come back and eat here again. Food was amazing. The view is beautiful. We had more food than this but I didn't want to be rude and be all over the table.

    Fiero Spritz

    Such a great vibe and the food was delicious! Lobster ravioli and tortellini were sooo good! The fiero spritz was the perfect daytime refreshing cocktail. A must visit!

    Delicious sandwich, disgusting place. The restroom was super dirty, the kitchen looked questionable too.

    It was super hot in the restaurant and it was the most mediocre food I've had. Frozen pizza is better than the pizza they served me.

    Great food at a very affordable price! Definitely will be back. You can't go wrong with a sandwich and a side of pasta salad.

It's an order at the counter with a small seating area inside and a nice patio outdoors. Purchase & provided a number. Not only do that have their famous lobster rolls, but they also have additional signature sandwiches, specialty soups, salads and home made cole slaw as just one of their side options. Most people here order the classic lobster roll as did I. That said, you can also customize your roll, plus they offer shrimp and crab choices too! Not to long of a wait, but keep in mind ALL orders are made "fresh to order", so if they're busy it can take a little longer. Presentation was nice and sandwiches are served with a slice of fresh lemon that brightens the taste. The highlight was the decadent butter fried roll. It was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can taste the butter in each bite. They provide fresh cold water that you can serve yourself which was welcome with the warm weather. Additionally, they have soda and lemonade. It could be considered a bit pricey, but everything I was eating on my San Diego trip near the beach is. Service was friendly and they brought my meal to my table which was nice. Would definitely go again. Note-There are two other locations in the San Diego area. If you have to use the restroom there is not one inside their establishment, it's a few buildings down and they will provide you a key and directions.

It's a cool, simple establishment no frills or thrills, just good food and straight to the point. Walk in, place your order, grab a spot inside or outside, and when your food is ready, they'll bring it out to you. You can also order to go. The lobster rolls are dangerously delicious! The lobster meat is fresh and tasty, and the bun is soft and just right. My only wish? I could've gone for some really good fries instead of chips with the sandwich. They do offer upgraded chip options, though, so you're not stuck with your typical Lays-type chips. Overall, it's a good spot and definitely worth checking out. I'll be back! Pro tip: Go for The Boss. It has the perfect meat-to-bun ratio.

We were seated right on time, which was a great start to the evening. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively without being too noisy, making it easy to enjoy a conversation.

The restaurant was big, beautiful, and had a really nice atmosphere! The food was just as good as we remembered. I honestly don't remember everything we ordered, but I do remember that we enjoyed it!

Overall, another great experience at The Henry. Great food, beautiful restaurant, and great service. We'd definitely come back!

    FANTASTIC! Absolutely will visit this place every time I'm in the area. I've already spread the…read moreword to a bunch of family and friends. This is very high on my list. Before I get started on the hundreds of amazing things to say about this place, let's start off with one "annoying" thing. It was hard to find. There were absolutely no signs in the hotel pointing you to where the restaurants would be. We also asked several hotel staff members and got even more confused. Once we found the little strip of several restaurants, we accidentally walked right past it thinking it was apart of the NoBu restaurant. Now that I know where it is, I'll know exactly where to go. Let's talk about all the GOOD! The view was beautiful. There were lots of kids playing on the grass in front of the restaurant but the way they set up the place, it wasn't loud at all and cute to see. The staff members were on top of their game. Nothing went unnoticed! They all worked as a team. The Knowledge about the restaurant, the food, and the drinks was very impressive. Even if you couldn't decide, they would happily guide you to make the right choices. - I want to give a shoutout to Mark our waiter. He was an absolute delight. He was witty, knowledgeable, lead us in the right direction, and spoiled us for our birthday celebration dinner. He made the experience 10x better. About the food...I'm still thinking about the delicious food they served and it's been weeks since I was there. I want to put extra attention on the halibut ceviche, WOW! That needs to be a staple is you visit, it's a must try. Also please don't ever take this off the menu! I would solely travel out here just for the alone and buy 5 at a time (yes it was that good). The sauce they put it in makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Everything here is very unique and worth it. There wasn't one bad food item at all. Plus the drinks, were so smooth. If for whatever reason you wanted to alter your drink (like someone at my party did) they were happy to accommodate and then they also executed perfectly. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but once you experience the service, the extra care, and the delicious food you can confidently say it's worth it. I hope more people experience this place, they deserve more than five stars.

    For the record, I'm not one of those people who only leaves one star yelp reviews, I'm usually…read morepretty positive and fair. Based on the price point of the menu, I was excited for this dinner. I left feeling disappointed. Let's start with the good: - Atmosphere: Beautifully designed interior and outdoor tables get a great view of the ocean and courtyard of the hotel - Sides / Apps: Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, and halibut ceviche were all delicious The bad: - Service: the service was good at the beginning, but the waiter brought the wrong seafood platter (we asked for wood fired specifically, he brought raw). Time in between visits and check-ins was noticeably long. - Entree: I got the wood fired fish, which was Spanish sea bass (I'm blanking on the actual name). It tastes good but was dry. At $60 / lb I was hoping for more The ugly: - Seafood Tower: I am a huge seafood fan and this was what I was looking forward to the most. The waiter brought out the cold one even though we requested the wood fired. This was corrected fairly quickly which I respect, but the product was the sore spot. The shrimp was actually really good, as was the king crab leg (or half, I should say. For $180 I was expecting more than just one bite per person). Lobster was also an embarrassing amount. Oysters were inedible. You can see my photos to see what I'm talking about.
