The bacon wrapped scallops were phenomenal! The wait staff was exceptional! The noise level was ok but if you are looking for quiet, romantic...not the noise level you want. It lent to a very enjoyable evening, however. Everyone laughing, talking, and having a great time!!

The wine dinner was great. Food was paired nicely with the delicious wines by Antinori vineyards. And afterwards the staff was kind enough to put both Philly games on - World Series and Eagles. All in all a wonderful experience and look forward to the next one.

The crabcakes were fabulous! The service not so much. It was as if after we declined to place a drink order, the server decided we were not worth the effort. We didn’t know you had to ask for bread. We didn’t know there were any specials until we heard another server explaining them to an adjacent table. Our entrées came in a timely manner and were hot. However as good as the Crabcake entrée was, the broiled seafood platter was meh… Shrimp was over cooked, cod had absolutely no seasoning. At $48 it was very disappointing. The last straw was when the check came and it automatically included a 3.5% credit card fee. We paid cash. Again, overall it was disappointing.

It was lovely to get a table in the back garden! The Bloody Mary drinks were so tasty, as was the flatbread appetizer. Only downside was the salmon entree, it was very overcooked and dry. I’ve had it before and it is usually cooked perfectly.

Dining on the back patio at Henri’s was like being in a garden hideaway. Despite all tables being filled, we did not feel crowded. The drinks menu never disappoints. Our food was tasty and hot. Our server was terrific, friendly and attentive.

Service is probably the worst in Sea Isle and the meal prices are definitely too high for the quality. Wait staff did not check in for over 25 mins after giving us water.
