We came to the Henri before a show at the Warner Theater and it was wonderful. We started with charcuterie and mussels (which were a main but we got as an appetizer!). Both were phenomenal, I would order them both again! I also had their cauliflower purée soup to start and it was very yummy but might pass on ordering in the future. It was very tasty though! Our mains were the veal, which was good. It came with a lot of cream. The steak (which came with mashed potatoes and an aoli) was delicious. Very tender, I would definitely order it again. The stand out was a vegan roasted acorn squash dish which came in a pea puree. It was phenomenal. Nobody in our party is vegan but we ordered it when we heard how good it was. For dessert we ordered four items but the standouts were the bignets and the chocolate mousse. Our server was fantastic. She gave us great recommendations and made sure everything came out timed well. The plates were all beautiful, she checked in to make sure everything was good, and was attentive. All in all, with 4 people, where everyone got drinks, split apps, each got a main, and each got dessert, the meal cost $500 including tip.

We attended a wedding reception at The Henri and were absolutely blown away from start to finish. The space was elegant, modern, and perfectly set up for a celebration intimate yet lively, with such thoughtful details in the layout and lighting. The staff were exceptional: attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. Every drink was topped off before we even realized it, and the service flowed effortlessly all evening.
The food was phenomenal : from the appetizers to the main courses, everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The rotisserie meats and sides were definite standouts, and several guests at our table couldn’t stop talking about the cauliflower dish and crab cakes. Dessert was equally impressive and felt so personal to the couple’s menu.
The entire night felt seamless, thanks to the staff’s attention to detail and warm hospitality. The Henri truly delivered a first-class experience and made the celebration unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back for dinner soon!

The place is really cosy with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was incredibly fast and friendly. We had the luck of being served by Nathen, who was excellent very communicative, attentive, and professional.
The food arrived quickly, and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the steak tartar and the lamb shank, both were perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The Chardonnay Cordillera 2024 was also a great choice and paired beautifully with the meal.
I definitely recommend this place for dinner and would gladly come back again.

Making things right! I went with a friend before a concert at the Warner Theater. I expected the Henri’s usual good food and service. We had plenty of time before the show. We were totally engaged in talking so we didn’t realize that more than 30 minutes had passed with no food – not appetizers or return from the server. The table next to us had sat down way after us and were half way through their meal. I think the order just wasn’t put in. The restaurant made it right! Within minutes of noticing their error, food arrived, with complimentary champagne. A visit from their Dir of Operations to say sorry, too. And the food was delicious – snails, persimmon salad, paella, rotisserie chicken. And they even brought sorbet for my friend’s birthday, with a few minutes before departing. Thank you, Henri, for handling things professionally and swiftly. We had a lovely evening.

Overall the good was good not great. At the price point it was not good enough to return. The steak and the chicken tasted ok. The lobster was fine. Nothing blew me away and nothing stood out as a must have of the mains. The apps were better than the mains. All that being said , the service was outstanding and the restaurant is nice. If you want decent food with excellent service this a good choice.

As a wedding / event photographer, I have the opportunity to work at many venues across the city, but my experience at Tjhe Henri was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating—not just to the couple and guests, but also to vendors like myself. Their seamless coordination and attention to detail made the day flow beautifully.
The rooftop event space was stunning, offering fantastic view of the landmarks of the national capital and an elegant city backdrop for portraits and candid moments. It was the perfect balance of modern charm and sophistication.
During the dinner portion of the evening, I was especially impressed by the ambiance and layout of the private dining space. The service team moved effortlessly and made sure every guest felt taken care of, while allowing me the freedom and access to document the moments authentically. On our way out after the coverage, they generously prepared to-go dinner packages for us. This was an unexpected and thoughtful gesture that allowed us to experience firsthand the incredible cuisine The Henri is known for. It was a delicious way to end a fantastic evening.
Henri is not only a culinary gem but also a photographer’s dream venue in the heart of DC. I’m genuinely looking forward to returning for future events!

Went here for Valentines day. We were very impressed. Excellence from start to finish. Food was very very good, I over ate it was so good wanted to finished more but couldn’t. Not only was the food good you can tell they spend extra time to ensure food cooked perfectly almost like theirs’s Gordon Ramsey checking it before goes out. Was so good we had to get desert to at least try it. Service was perfect the staff equally shared ensuring tables were checked on. I left an extra tip. We told friends about the place and would definitely go back. Went to some other well known popular restaurants the next day which were “good” but didn’t compare to what we had at the Henri.

We went for New Year’s Eve dinner before the Flaming Lips show at the Anthem. They had a jazz duo playing music and that helped set the atmosphere. The service was top notch, but relaxed. The food and cocktails were the best I have had in DC. We enjoyed variations of the Manhattan cocktails. I had the specials (lobster thermador and chateaubriand). They were really great. I highly recommend this excellent restaurant which serves excellent food with a really nice staff.

Belgium (former owner) and French (executive chef) influence can be easily felt throughout the dishes. Each dish, is refined, flavorful and well prepared. The cocktails were original and delicious. As a Frenchman, I was most impressed by the snail croissant. I would have never expected this dish to work, but it did, it was incredible and would return to this establishment just for this particular appetizer. The other dishes were delicious. Although the lamb shank was good, it was on the verge of being dry. However, the polenta and jus that came with it totally made up for it. If you order that dish, ask for a little extra jus, as it was incredibly flavorful and elevated the whole dish.
The service was impeccable, our waiter was attentive and made sure that we would not miss our show time at the theater across the street.
The reason I took two stars away was partly due to the chairs. They were quite uncomfortable, and if you have a coat, you cannot put it on the back of the chair due to their roundness and design. I also wish the tables were a tad larger as it was a bit tight to share dishes. Finally, a quirky thing happened: I ordered an Armagnac as an after dinner drink. What came out was an Italian, clear colored grappa. I had to argue and request to see the bottle just to confirm that I was indeed, right… Our waiter did not charge us for the inconvenience.

My only quibble with the whole dining experience is with the descriptions in the menu. And perhaps that’s by design to either have a conversation with your waiter or be pleasantly surprised. The description for Venison is so vague that the last thing I was expecting was a meat stew with red wine, but with a French/Belgium bistro menu, I should have known better or at least asked questions. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised, and for a take on Beof Bourguinon, they did an outstanding job. Venison being a lean meat, this still melted in my mouth with the carrots cooked two ways, braised with the meat fork tender, and young baby, multi-colored carrots that were cooked more al dente. Our waiter was outstanding. The bar staff was stellar. I truly have no room for complaints nor want for improvement. If anything, we need to come back to try some things from the rotisserie menu.
