This place is the new kid on the block in Uptown Plaza. They have certainly made their presence known. Unfortunately, the beautiful exterior serves as a facade to some ugly realities inside. Your first experience will involve interacting with one of the hostess' in which they have clearly been trained to ensure you're made to feel as though you're vying for entry into some clandestine society rather than a purveyor of fine (allegedly) dining. I'll put it this way, if "Henry" was someone you knew, they would be that acquaintance you constantly invent elaborate excuses to avoid seeing as they are seemingly a drain on your time and patience with very little to offer in return. After a brief, and frankly baffling, interaction with the gatekeeper - I mean, hostess - we were finally deemed worthy of a table. This initial hurdle only served to amplify the disappointment that followed. Our server, while very friendly, moved with the speed and urgency of a sloth contemplating a nap. While there is only so much that the server has control over, it makes the treatment by the hostess at the front that much more comical. As for the food, for a restaurant that clearly believes itself to be a culinary temple, the offerings were frankly pedestrian. The presentation, while attempting a certain artistic flair, ultimately couldn't mask the fundamental lack of flavor and quality. The irony, of course, is that the staggering level of self-importance radiating from the establishment clashes so spectacularly with the utterly unremarkable reality of the dining experience. It's like attending a black-tie gala where the main entertainment is a kazoo solo. The sheer audacity of their pretension, juxtaposed with the genuinely slow and ultimately underwhelming service, transforms what could have been simply a bad meal into a truly comedic affair. The Henry offers a masterclass in misplaced confidence. If you enjoy being treated like you've just secured a coveted spot on a spaceship, only to be served food that tastes like it was microwaved in the galley, then by all means, make a reservation (and maybe pack a snack for the wait). For the rest of us, there are countless other establishments in Central Phoenix where you can enjoy a delicious meal without the side order of theatrical condescension. While they are aiming to be "the greatest Neighborhood restaurant," they seem to be heading more in the direction of being the restaurant that no one wants in the neighborhood instead. read more

This review is solely for their parking situation. They have taken over half of the lot at uptown plaza and blocked it off for paid valet parking. It has created an enormous inconvenience and giant traffic jam for Uptown Plaza. Be a more courteous neighbor please! Today during the AJs lunch rush I noticed the Henry was fairly busy, but over half of the parking spots in the valet section were vacant. I understand your business needs parking spots, but maybe you could only reserve that much of the parking lot for busy times at your establishment, like on Friday or Saturday nights. There were almost no spots in the Uptown Plaza regular non valet parking lot which caused lots of traffic and I felt very frustrated when I noticed how many vacant spots were in your reserved parking area. I urge your business to reconsider its valet usage for the benefit of the community. read more

Our entre was fantastic! We had the Korean prime skirt steak and braised short rib. My husband and I loved our main dish, however we never received our appetizer, our coffees were lukewarm, the desserts were horrible. We ordered the bread pudding and molten butter cake. The pretzel toffee in the butter cake were big and hard enough to Crack your teeth. The bread pudding was bland. Our server forgot about us, water was never filled, probably why we never got our appetizer. They are not ready, visit again in 6 months. read more

What an amazing experience we had for my mom birthday! The food is to die for and the Uptown Cocktail was perfect!!!! Valet was so sweet and made it easy to park with no hassle! This is the perfect sister to the Arcadia Location! The ambience was very chic and warm. The restaurant itself was well cleaned and organized! Keep up the great work, will be back soon for sure!!!! read more

The Braised Beef was to salty The service was shakey, the waiter was not very attentive Not what I am used to from the 44th street restaurant! I know it's new, and hope things get better I will return read more

My husband and I came in at 2:50 PM for a late lunch. We sat down at the bar and was told that they switched to dinner service at 3:00 PM so we had a few minutes to place a lunch order. We were given dinner menus. We then asked to see the lunch menu and was told by the same server that it was already dinner, it was 2:53. I will not support an establishment that treats its customers this way. We decided not to stay and will not be returning. Very disappointed read more

Just another slow round of service, parking lot is reserved for just this restaurant and no other business it feels like. Food took awhile, no real leadership in the building as staff just floats around aimlessly. So many better restaurants near by with way better prices and service! read more

Limited Brunch Menu. Food we ordered was good, just wish we had more choices. Made the reservation for our Anniversary brunch, and stated so when I made the reservation. No one on the staff ever acknowledged our Anniversary during our whole dining experience. Kind of dropped the ball. All and all an ok experience. Room for improvement. read more

Milo was wonderful! Thank you for the warm welcome and hospitality. Great food, great service!

Really fresh food and a warm atmosphere to eat and relax. I had the burrito and it was made just right. The salsa really made it with being fresh made read more

Incredible food. Incredible staff. Incredible service. The restaurant is beautiful. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The Henry delivers hand over fist. read more

The service was amazing! We were definitely impressed by the hospitality from the hostess to the barista and the bartender. Everyone was so nice and genuine. We sat at the bar and had crispy rice with spicy tuna, eggs Benedict and the crabcake. I had a super high five to drink. It was delicious and the food was delicious. However, after lunch, my daughter and I got very sick. So I'm sure it was a one off, but we will not be returning to the Henry. read more

Have eaten here plenty of times and get my coffee every morning. staff is always very attentive and engaging when I come in. food and drink always tastes fantastic. read more

First time at this new location. Atmosphere was inviting & the hostess seated us immediately. We shared the Brussel sprouts which were amazing. My friend had a burger with fries which he said was very good. I ordered the Ceasars Salad & added chicken. The salad dressing was not a Ceasar dressing but more of an Italian, which accounts for only 4 stars. chicken was perfect & yummy. I will definitely go back, service was great & love the vibe. read more

If you want to feel like you owe this place something for attempting to get a table for two as a walk in late lunch, when it is pretty empty, have at it! Certain tables must be for the elite that even though all open, two of us were sat at a circular booth for 6. Vibe was so pretentious. Won't be back. So many better environments to enjoy. read more

Food was meh and over priced for what you get. The booth was right next to a really loud table. Service was friendly but got conflicting info on when brunch ends. The brunch menu looked much better than the dinner menu. Get that it's a wine bar but just nothing great or magical. read more

The food is amazing. The short rib potstickers and espresso martini are exceptional. Our server was fine, maybe a little new, but couldn't have been nicer. However the host staff was the worst. I showed up 6 minutes early, but they couldn't seat me because I was early. They seemed like the actual act of doing their job was too much for them. Will I come back? Yes, because the food is so good. Would I do a dinner program here? Never. I wouldn't want my guests to endure the hostess staff. read more

Had a great time & service @ The Henry! Jordan, Mary & Richie provided such awesome service & we're so accommodating. Made my bday celebration even better! The guacamole was killer too! read more

Close. Close. Close. Close. Close. Very overpriced and pretentious. Typical cen pho attitude. Nice hiring job hr

Went to the bar to hangout before a flight back home and had such a good time. The vibes were immaculate and the bartender Elijah made really good drinks and also had really great recommendations for what to drink next when I was wanting to try something new. We love a good bartender! I definitely will go back my next time in Pheonix! read more

The dinner menu is small and pretty highly priced for what it actually is. Our food came out not even 2 minutes after we ordered. The Braised short rib was warm on the top but cold in the middle and bottom. Mashed potatoes were cold throughout. Vodka rigatoni was slightly warm but honestly not fresh. This makes us believe it was sitting on a hot plate. Mixed drinks were great! Unfortunately this experience has made us not want to come back. read more

I looked at Yelp reviews before going to The Henry, like I always do. There seemed to be a number of negative comments, along with a lot of very positive reviews. After my first visit to The Henry, I failed to understand how anyone would make a negative review. This place is impressive. Ambiance is very up-scale and modern. The cocktails were very tasty and creative. The food was very good and well-presented. The service is impeccable. What a great new addition to our neighborhood. I am sure we will be back many, many times. read more

I've been to this location 4 times now, and keep bringing people back. I just opened a small women's clothing boutique on Central Ave. just south of Camelback, and now that I'm working retail hours, it gives me the perfect place to meet my friends and family for dinner after I close up shop. The atmosphere, vibe, staff and food are all excellent. The brussel sprouts are insanely good, the Seared Tuna Chop salad is the best in town, and the Braised Short Rib entree is fantastic. As someone who lives and works in the area, I'm so glad The Henry is here. And no disrespect to the location on 44th and Camelback, but this one is so much better. It's not as loud and the food is just top notch. Way to go! read more

Place was packed about 30 minutes wait , I came back in an hour and the place had cleared out . It is beautiful inside the restaurant. Service was prompt and everyone was friendly and covering for each other. . I had the tuna salad and my guest had the honey fried chicken. They were both very good . The salad had half of an avocado. The tuna were cut in small pieces. The salad was a little small for the price i was expecting a larger portion. . Prices are little on the high end but overall we had a good experience read more

I'm sitting here right now. The short rib entree was literally the worst thing I've ever eaten in 5 years, just like 90% fat and basically inedible ($36). The drinks were good though and it's a fun vibe. read more

I live a block away. The Henry is brand new, very nice--beautiful design, great menu. But too darned expensive for what you get. There are so many places in the neighborhood with better value. read more

went here with a group of friends which four of them out of us six were celebrating their birthdays. the food and service was amazing and they celebrated with us which made the experience so enjoyable. thank you to our server chandler and the owner who checked up on us! read more

I had a very pleasant lunch experience at The Henry Uptown (corner of Camelback and Central Ave) in Phoenix, Arizona today. The new, well-appointed restaurant has been open since April 2nd and I have eaten several meals there. Each one has been outstanding. The staff have been wonderful, certainly, as an example, Halee Sandoval. She is friendly, engaging, attentive, ambitious and she greets customers with a warm smile. She's the type of person I am sure The Henry is keen to hire. If one takes the time to visit with her, he or she will find her long-term goal is to become a psychiatrist. But right now, she's a terrific asset to The Henry Uptown. Her colleagues (Alex, another Alex, a guy with the same name, Tara, and CJ) are of the same ilk. The Henry Uptown and The Henry Arcadia are great places to eat and meet others. I hope to get to know the entire staff of The Henry Arcadia and The Henry Uptown. Gary Foster read more

I waited for my soup for over 22 minutes and when I saw all the servers just standing around and hanging out I got up and left. Terrible service. I came next door to flower child and I got my food within 10 minutes. Flower child is much better ! read more

Went on a Saturday night, relatively busy. Had the best experience with John, felt truly hospital and taken care of. The atmosphere is so lively and the staff is nothing but accommodating and jovial. Food was delicious, highly recommend the butter cake. Cannot wait to come again! read more

Food was incredible. I was greeted immediately! The hostess team was great. I went in for a late lunch and sat at the bar. Amberly was awesome! The restaurant is gorgeous. I will be back soon! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Ate there with another couple 4/13. Ordered the roasted chicken. Must've been roasted at the Arcadia location because it wasn't hot. Only had one carrot. Need to step up. read more

Absolute horrible experience last night. My wife and I as well as another couple dined at The Henry on Camelback and Central . The food was cold ( all 4 dishes) the service was slow and our waitress was not knowledgeable of the dishes on the menu. Unless things change we will never go back. Very disappointing! read more

A welcome addition to the neighborhood! The food is incredible. Tyler was the manager on duty, he was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend the roasted chicken, Brussels sprouts and shot rib pot stickers. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. read more

Our group of seven dined at the newest location of The Henry last night. The restaurant's menu offers plenty options for a variety of dining preferences. Our entrees included salmon, ahi, pasta, short rib and a hamburger. All were well prepared and delicious. All of the entrees were ready at the same time too. The mac-n-cheese is made with fusilli which holds onto the yummy cheese sauce better than elbow pasta. Several of us ordered the house special gin-based cocktail, one ordered the smoked pineapple margarita, and another ordered a regular margarita. The beer list included my companion's favorite local brewery, The Wren House. The Henry's beverage program is comprehensive and well developed. We split three dessert, the olive oil lemon cake, the bread pudding and chocolate cake. All were A-plus! Our waiter Vinnie was so personable and attentive and did not flinch at any of our requested entree modifications. The atmosphere is lively, yet the music was not too overpowering, so we were able to hear each others conversations. read more
