    Service at lunch time is always a little slow - which is not ideal as people eating there for lunch during the week are mostly professionals on a 1h lunch break. Other than that, the servers are always super nice, food is good, and ambiance is also very nice! Brasserie Henri is always a go-to for me.

    Food was ok for the most part but not impressive but service was terrible. Never filled our water (had to ask several times), ignored us despite several signals to get dessert menu and order. Felt disorganized like the entire waiting and bussing staff didn’t know what to do.

    Our group of 11 had a wonderful experience. Charlotte, our server, did an amazing job and also helped pick some excellent wines for the table.

    Overall, my biggest impression was that everything’s overpriced. The food was decent (the duck breast was tender but the sauce was sweet for some reason, and the oysters were good) but some very well known French dishes such as duck confit were missing, and there was no complimentary bread at the start of the meal unlike other French restaurants.
