HENRI on Fifth

We shared the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes and the three egg scrabble with sides of breakfast potatoes, kale salad and toast. Everything we ate was delicious. Perfectly prepared and flavored.
The blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are a MUST. I’m not a lover of lemon flavored desserts or anything of the like, and still I LOVED the pancakes. The lemon is very subtle and enhanced what was already an excellent pancake. Moist, fluffy, and the other ingredients take it over the top. No — the pancakes don’t taste like cheese or lemons. Again, everything is subtle and I think the ricotta enhances the moistness and richness of the pancakes.
The three eggs scrambled were also very good. The potatoes are perfectly cooked — not diced to large or small, nicely seasoned, not over fried or undone. Kale salad was tasty as well.
The peach bellinis are over the top good. Also a must try. I can’t think of one complaint.

This place looks so cute from the outside. However, the service and food fall wayyyyy short. We were here on a Sunday and there were 2 servers for the entire restaurant including the outside tables. No one greeted us or
came to our table for 20 minutes. Once we ordered, it took 40 minutes before I had to go up to the bar to even get a servers attention. I was met with glares from one of the staff members while I was asking about our drinks. Once the drinks finally came out, another 15 minutes passed before our food came out. The turkey club had the fattiest turkey I have ever had. It was slimy and gross with only half a piece of bacon in the sandwich. We got truffle fries and they didn’t taste like truffle at all.
The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because they were nice enough to comp our drinks, even though everything else was unpleasant. I will NOT return and I wouldn’t waste your time here.

Delicious and unique dishes. Portions larger than I expected. Owners are friendly and welcoming.
Check out the fabulous wallpaper in the bathroom and ask them for the backstory!

Great fresh food and drinks, the vibe is really chill and good for a long convo or they have games to play if you’ll be awhile, just a chill spot.

This is my go to place for watching my favorite UFC ppv. The place is cozy, and people are friendly. I enjoyed my truffle fries with devil’s eggs, they taste delicious. It is much better than spending time the fight at home alone.

Went for brunch. Service was good but food was bad. Burger patty lacked flavors, chicken in kale salad was dry and finally ciabatta sandwich was greasy. Avoid them for brunch is my advice.

Cute atmosphere to hang with friends and have some drinks and play board games. Waiter was nice, french grilled cheese, wings and banmi fish tacos were great!
Chicken and waffles lacked flavor Truffles fries was super disappointing, didn’t taste fresh, taste reheated and hard.

I never seem to have brunch luck at this spot on the map (hated the previous restaurant).
For Sunday brunch, diners seat themselves and today there was just ONE server for a Spring-​like weathered Sunday. We chose our seats and the waitress greeted us with drink and food specials, and assured us she would be right back to take our orders. Shortly after she took our order but then things went a little down hill.
There are carafes of water on the tables but our had no glasses. As all the tables around us got their coffees and mimosas, I had to ask for glasses and coffee. Not until then was I told they were brewing s new batch.
We ordered an appetizer and an entrée each. Unfortunately it all came out at once. Imagine a bowl full of sheep’s milk ricotta with white bread toast cut into strips (don’t order this), chicken and waffles (special of the day, chicken is crispy and well seasoned but waffle wasn’t good/​spongy vs fluffy) and a croque madame with duck bacon, too much carmelized shallots, and Swiss cheese coming at you all at once.
I felt pressured to eat my sandwich as to not let it get soggy or cold, but then the ricotta toast got cold. Also, I was too full o to enjoy any of it.
We asked for more bread to go with the ricotta and it came out 15 minutes later and was burnt? I looked around the restaurant and everyone’s toast was burnt?
Just some advice (take it or leave it), have more than one server and have the kitchen staff know which dishes are appetizers and entrees. Perhaps a new toaster maybe? Totally not the server’s fault.
I don’t think I’ll ever come back to this corner of Park Slope.

While there was plenty of available tables at 11AM on a Sunday morning, I should have been alarmed because the place stayed empty for quite a while.
The atmosphere — nice and casual and easy to catch up with friends over drinks
The food — Left a LOT to be desired. The «truffle» fries were terrible, as was most of the food that was placed in front of us. The egg scrambles were dried out, and pretty much everything was a «meh» experience
The Drinks — the cocktails were pretty bland for the price, but at least there were a couple of good beers on tap.
Overall a good meetup spot for a quick beer, but not recommended if you are planning on eating.

Stopped here for a happy hour drink and some food on a Saturday night. Finding a happy hour on Saturday in this area can be a little hit or miss but HENRI on Fifth was a pleasant surprise. We were a bit hesitant to go in at first because it was absolutely empty but hey why not we had the place all to ourselves. The bar tender was super nice.
I am not sure if we hit this place on a off night but I have no idea why this place was not packed. The bar itself is super cool inside with a large open layout and a upscale feel. The thing that made this bar stand out though was the food.
After ordering our second of third happy hour round we ordered some truffle fries. WOW thats all I can say… wait no its not. I have more.
The fries are served in a metal shaker/​canister thing which yes looks really awesome but moreover actually seems to serve a crucial purpose. I am not sure if they intended it or not but the metal shaker insulates the fries to preserves the cheesy truffle goodness to perfection so you dont have to rush to eat them before they get cold.
Check out this place for some happy hour brews and dont dare leaving without trying the truffle fries.

This place is FUN! Great food for very decent prices (during happy hour). While you’re eating, you can ask for one of many board games. The service was great. Just a really nice fun place to go with a group of friends!

Went here after a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed.
Had the asian chicken salad was very good and really enjoyed the truffle fries. Great service.
Will be going back again.

The food here is very good. Well cooked. Not too expensive. Tasty.
Burgers, wings, fries = all very worth it. I enjoy the open setting, as well. Plenty of board games. Play some games, don’t play some games, whatever you want.
The $ 4 coke was a bit much, and no free refills meant it was $ 8 for soda. What is this Yankee Stadium? Do I get to keep the cup? Beware of that, but otherwise it’s a nice night out.

I liked the bar’s atmosphere. It has an open storefront letting air flow seamlessly from 5^th Ave into the bar. The layout allows you to speak intimately with your party but roomy enough where you don’t feel clustered with other tables. I really liked all of the board games available. There must have been at least a dozen. The game we played was in good shape. It wasn’t dirty or sticky like games at some other bars.
The beer selection is fair. There are a couple of craft options on tap.
We sampled a fair share of the menu. I was unimpressed with the grilled cheese sliders. It was a typical grilled cheese that you make at home except it was cut into four triangles and presented on a paddle in geometric pattern with a small dip of tomato soup. The truffle fries where pretty similar to McDonald’s excepted there was some shredded cheese over them. The bani mi tacos were just pork buns that were rather bland. I did enjoy the Vietnamese summer rolls and the hot pretzel roll.
The service was very slow as they appeared to be understaffed. They had one girl bartending, waitressing, and hosting. The food came out slowly and at random intervals. One of my co-​diners ordered a salad; it came out 15 minutes after the second to last person received her order and it was missing ingredients.
I’d only suggest HENRI for drinks and board games.

I went to this bar on Wednesday night just to get a drink. I didn’t realize it was trivia night, but it was fun to listen to and we ended up playing one of the rounds. I ordered a margarita, which was good and we ordered the classic grilled cheese to share. It had fontina, cheddar, and pancetta. It was pretty good. They had a nice menu. I would like to return to try some other things on the menu.

Devil’d eggs and bahnmi tacos were the only standout dishes out of all the things we tried
Weak cocktails
Slow service.
Probably would not come back

After checking out the brunch menu online I was pretty excited to try this place however I was quickly disappointed.
For a regular cup of coffee it’s going to run you 3.50 (they don’t have espresso drinks). The sheeps milk ricotta was a plop of cheese with stale brioche — $ 13. My wife had a thymbol of fruit granola for $ 8 it included 2 blueberries and 1 quartered strawberry. I had the croque Madame which was actually decent but the ingredients were very stale.
I thought Henri’s might have been one of those underrated foodie gems you come across in the slope but their prices are outrageous. It must be because of the location and their expensive looking interior. Zero points for authenticity.

This place is so chill and relaxing. Great place to come for happy hour after work.
AND happy hour is until 10 on Wednesday!
The bartenders are super easy going and nice. No matter how bad your day was, you’ll feel better the minute you step in.
The space is cozy but big enough for groups of 6.

I was kinda bummed to see Apertivo go BUT there are many Italian places in the nabe. The Henri concept is fun-​I have rediscovered a love for the game UNO! The kale cesear salad has TOO MUCH dressing on it but the snacks were pretty good. We ordered some food and decided we wanted a pretzel which took forever to come. We were told they would comp it but when the bill came it was on there. They recently started serving and it has been packed. I want in on the table-​top pac man. You may want to skip if you are the type of person who thinks babies should not be in bars.
The wallpaper in the bathroom is awesome.

New spot to try… why not?!
Friday night my friend and I went to try this place. It’s definitely a cool looking spot and the music that was on when we walked in got my attention… I had a feeling I was gonna have a good time.
We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender, Crystal. She has become my 2^nd favorite bartender ever! Yes, she is gorgeous and I’m woman enough to admit it… lol. She also can make a helleva drink! From the cocktail menu I had the whiskey games and the dirty henri… they were definitely a yummy treat.
With those drinks we had the deviled eggs, grilled cheese sandwich made with guyere cheese & garlic butter (amazing), wings and parmesean truffle fries… YUMMY to it all!
I am a fan of this spot. It was nice to be in a neighborhood spot that had the feel of fun and adult appeal without being cheesy.
