    Visited The Henri for a business lunch, and it was a gastronomic delight. The tomato tartar was bindblowingly delicious - it ate like steak tartar while being vegan. The smoked duck was sublime and the grilled Caesar salad was perfectly executed. The wine list is also notable, offering a broad selection and great value. Highly recommend for lunch, drinks at the bar and dinner.

    Servers should not take way plates until everyone is done at the table.
