Seasonal Sangria, Pretzel w Provolone Fondue, and *Hank's Espresso Martini*
Michael V.

Drinks - Hank's Espresso Martini 5/5: The cinnamon on top is such a great touch, with a hint of spice from the Licor 43. It was silky smooth and well balanced. I still want to order a gallon of it. - Seasonal Sangria (White) 4.5/5: Refreshing, with a tropical sweetness. Appetizers - Pretzels with Provolone Fondue 4.5/5: Pretzel bites were fresh, soft, and salty. The cheese sauce was savory, creamy, and rich. - Spicy Tuna, Crispy Rice 3/5: They were very bland, with more of a chew than a crisp. Maybe it was just our order, because it seemed like a favorite in other reviews. Entrees - Braised Short Rib 5/5: Falls apart as the fork touches it, melts in your mouth, but with a rich reduction and smashed potatoes that make it even richer. - Roasted Chicken Frites: Really good citrus and buttery garlic flavors, but the chicken was pretty dry, especially since it was skin-on.

What a winner for brunch. Super friendly staff, great outdoor seating that you can bring your dog too and plenty of space to move about. Total relaxed California vibe. From couples to large family groups this is a brilliant place to go with a menu of fantastic dishes that will please everyone. Our drinks were fantastic and the food was absolutely cooked to perfection. The staff there are incredible and make the meal an event you will remember.

Chilled shrimp cocktail
Monique L.

We came for a birthday. It's a really cute place and a new so super clean as well. The service was solid. These are the dishes we had. Seabass Korean steak. Fried chicken House salad and shrimp cocktail. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I love dim lighting but it was almost too dark for eating. Maybe an additional lamp in the table? The drinks were a bit pricey with my Tito's martini coming in at $19. No big deal it was a special occasion . We will be back to try more!

ricotta dip
ty D.

We had a lovely dinner with friends last night! Everyone enjoyed their meal and they were very accommodating to my gluten allergy. The Artichoke Ricotta dip did not list as GF but when asked they swapped the bread for a crudités of cucumber carrot and snap pea! Delish! We also shared the chilled shrimp which was also yummy! For mains we had The Sea Bass, Korean Skirt Steak, Chicken frites and the house salad with avocado! There was a little mix up and the seabass did not come out with the other mains but they were apoplectic and comped a beer! All and all we will definitely be back.

Cinnamon roll
Shong H.

We stopped by for Easter brunch. For the holiday, they had their usual brunch menu along with a special cinnamon roll. Service was good, and even though they were pretty busy, they still checked in on us throughout the meal. Our group ordered the cinnamon roll, short rib potstickers, turkey melt French dip, wagyu cheeseburger, and a toasted bagel with cream cheese with a side of bacon and potatoes. We also got coffee lattes (the Rocket, the Cleo, and the Wildflower). Everything was delicious! Our favorite was definitely the cinnamon roll. It was so fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, it was one of the best cinnamon rolls we've ever had. They only have it on special occasions, so if you happen to stop by when it's available, I highly recommend getting it. The short rib in the potstickers was super tender, and the house-made wrapper made them melt in your mouth, especially with the ponzu sauce. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the French dip was meaty with an au jus that was a total flavor bomb. The coffee drinks were strong, delicious, and not overly sweet. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy. I'm also really happy their brunch menu has more options that don't include egg. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

Lemon Olive Oil Cake
Christine L.

Such a great brunch this morning. The staff here are very attentive and sweet! The food was delicious, fun refreshing cocktails, and I love the interior decor. Very homey and cozy too with an elevated twist. I've only had their breakfast and they threw in a complimentary dessert for my birthday! The lemon olive oil cake with strawberry gelato was soo good. Will have to come back to try their lunch, I kept seeing servers walk by with plates full of yummy food

Chicken sandwich with truffle fries and sweet potato salad
Sandy C.

This place has a darling little patio, heaters to keep you warm and covered but very open and fresh. Food is great, I had a salad with mushrooms, artichoke, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato and some other yummy things thrown in there. Trust me, if you like this sort of thing, I'm sure this would be a hit. I can't wait to go back! Service was great, iced tea is good, no complaints here. Loved it!

I came for brunch with a group of friends after a pickleball game. It was my first time here and now a new favorite breakfast place. We ordered some appetizers such as the parmesan truffle fries, potstickers, chilled shrimp, some matcha and coffee lattes and a couple of breakfast items like the eggs benedict, flower child scramble and the cinnamon french toast. Every item we tried was delicious! The space itself is gorgeous and the vibes were just right for a fun group brunch. Service was attentive and friendly which made the whole experience even better. The Henry definitely lives up to the hype and I will 100% be back with more friends in tow. Highly recommend! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Great food, perhaps the most amateur service I have ever had. Hostess are very unwelcoming almost in a pretentious way. Service is typically on the slow side. Not sure if it's because they are just simply understaffed or pack too many people in. Inside the restaurant does get quite loud. I've visited a few times, hoping for improvement because they have great food but the service is absolutely unprofessional and rude.

Saliha M.

It is so pretty over here. Did you know there was a barista bar? This place offers more than just dine in. Service is so fast even on to-go coffees. I love this location more than the Coronado because it's closer to my house! I have to come back on my birthday with my family, the food is so good and this is one of the most comfortable places to eat and make memories.

California Burrito
Audrey S.

One of best brunch spots in Carlsbad! The restaurant is wonderfully decorated and well kept. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out quickly. I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted. I can't wait to come back for dinner and try out the rest of their menu.

Michelle R.

Bryce our waiter was absolutely amazing! We came in from Arizona to meet my family. All his recommendations were out of this world. We enjoyed our afternoon and our food. I def suggest to make reservations to beat the long wait. The inside and outside it opened and peaceful. The plates are colorful and presentation is perfection. The dessert was just incredible. Thank you for being kind, present and making us laugh.

This place has hit the spot 3 times now! Located by the train station in Carlsbad, you can come…read morehere for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a VERY early dinner. The menu is a variety and everything we've tried has tasted so fresh! My only qualm was recently ordering a soda water with lime for $4.50, although they're free refills I thought this was very expensive. The service has always been fast and friendly when it comes to seating, ordering and food delivery, as they are always quite busy it's appreciated that it's always been a short wait with a smile! The outdoor seating is covered and quaint, there's indoor seating, a coffee shop and a restroom. The parking in village parking nearby, but we've never had an issue!

This place is pretty chill and conveniently in the middle of a beachy downtown of Carlsbad…read more My BF had the Maple Fried Chicken Sandwich and said it was good. I had a bite and thought it was crunchy and flavorful. I had the Shorehouse Cheeseburger and it was good as well. I was glad that it came with fresh onions, lettuce and tomatoes. I can't have burgers without these things! I LOVE the skinny fries that came with the burger! I asked our server where they order it from and she actually went back to the kitchen to get that info for me. So nice of her/them to give me this info! Overall recommend!
