Bistro Henry

So much talk about this establishment.  Really disappointed started with a maitre d that is a bit cocky .  Whole dining room was empty he sat us in the middle asked to sit on the edge he said all tables reserved we left one hour later all tables still empty.  Lighting really bright not a romantic restaurant.  Ordered soup which was wonderful ordered apps had Nantucket scallops which were small bay scallops in a very bland sauce usually French influenced restaurants have spectacular flavors not so much with this sauce. We did not order anything else we decided to leave and go elsewhere since it just had no ambience.  Our server was super friendly though

Had dinner at Bistro Henry tonight and it was fantastic. We were seated promptly in a nicely decorated and comfortable room.  I had a spinach salad with gorgonzola and dried fruit and the spicy pork jambalaya.  My husband had gazpacho and braised rabbit with pappardelle, which was over the top delicious.  The service was excellent as well.  We would definitely return.

I decided to give Bistro Henry a chance based on all the Yelp reviews. I was actually disappointed. The atmosphere is not what I expected. It was quite dated. The food was definitely not great, compared to other Manchester restaurants. Someone in our party actually had to send his plate back and he didn't even want anything else because he was so unimpressed. It didn't help that our server was cold and seemed annoyed the whole time.
