I've been eyeing this place for awhile on yelp, along with its sister m. henrietta, but because it's a good hour away, it took me awhile to test this place out. We got there around 10ish on Sunday, and the waiting area was packed; people were standing shoulder to shoulder. They don't take reservations, but luckily, our party of 3 barely waited 20 mins before being seated (Yay!).
Very nicely decorated, cosy, lots of natural light, but it was very loud. I had to strain to hear our waiter and raise my voice when placing our order.
We went with the blackberry blisscakes ($9.95), sweet potato flapjacks ($9.95), latina omelet ($9.95), their bread pudding full size ($6.95), and grapefruit juice. The juice tasted fresh and tart, not shy in pulpiness. Our food came out in a timely manner, and the presentation of the food was lovely & inviting, lots of bright colors and fresh fruit.
Blackberry blisscakes - thick, fluffy, and soft, very good, but they weren't the best pancakes I've ever tried. That would be Walker Brothers' banana pancakes over in Arlington Heights.
Sweet potato flapjacks - same texture as the blackberry blisscakes. Tasted more like pumpkin than sweet potato to me, but luckily, I like both so it worked out. I preferred the blisscakes more though.
Latina omelet - the potatoes that it came with were delicious, well-seasoned, but the omelet was average.
Bread pudding - glad that it didn't have raisins haha. Loved that it came overloaded with fruit, but it was boring after the first few bites. The soggy bread had a light texture where it was bordering on custard. The sauce that it came with was watery more than luscious, so that it made for a light dish.
Overall, I enjoyed trying this place out, but I didn't think any of the dishes I tried were rapturous.
Also, don't come here with a hangover.
Absolutely fantastic! m.henry's menu has something for everyone! From egg dishes to the bliss cakes, you will not be disappointed. I have yet to eat something on this menu that I did not enjoy, so I will recommend it all.
The atmosphere has such a mix, from families with small children to groups of friends. No matter what your situation, you will fit right in. It is a surprisingly pretty big establishment so the noise level is not exactly quiet; however, I have never had an issue hearing people across the table from me.
This is one of the most popular breakfast places in the city so yes, there is quite a wait. There is a small waiting area with a coffee bar - perfect to grab a drink or muffin while you wait - but I would suggest walking around Andersonville and coming back to check in on your party's status. I have seen some people complain about how the wait is never what they are told it will be. Because of the great atmosphere inside the restaurant, people don't just get up and leave as soon as their food is done. While the host/hostess will do the best they can to judge when tables will open up, it isn't always easy to get an accurate reading when parties are chatting after the bill is paid.
I would say the wait is 100% worth it because once you get your food, those minutes spent hanging around will seem like nothing.
I love m.henry! It's probably my favorite breakfast place in Chicago for a simple eggs/meat/hash/toast dish. Fannie's killer egg sandwich is also very good. I'm usually pretty critical about breakfast potatoes because the ones they serve at m.henry are just so good! Nice and crisp outside, soft inside, hints of herbs and cherry tomatoes as well. YUM! The only thing missing for me are a few eggs benedict options :P
The servers are always very friendly and attentive without being annoying.
I'm not usually a sweet breakfast kind of person but I'm a  fan of the pancakes here.
I used to live really close to m.henry, live about 20-25 minutes away now but the boyfriend and I still make the drive up every once in awhile :)
Also- haven't had the black bean chili but one of my friends highly recommends it-
Above average food for a fair price but HORRIBLE experience.
The good:
Food was tasty. Â We ordered the goat cheese rotolone, salmon benedict, chocolate brioche french toast and the drunken stuffed poblano pepper from the brunch menu; we recommend all, both the savory and sweet. Â Each dish was prepared accordingly and presented nicely. Â Our waiter was very pleasant and far exceeded expectation. Â I wish I could remember his name so I could give him a 'shout out'.
The bad:
The wait. Totally fine with this as the place was pretty busy. Â I never have a problem with this UNLESS the establishment is not upfront and communicative. Â Both of which M. Henry DID NOT accomplish. Â We were told 30 minutes. Â We waited for an hour and ten minutes.
***Note: I've seen this in several reviews. Â I guess M. Henry does not care.
Now for the ugly:
The floor manager. Â Either he was having a very bad day or he is in the WRONG industry. Â Very rude, defensive and combative with absolutely no sense of customer service. Â Upon inquiring if our group could be seated together (since we did wait over an hour and the table next to us was leaving), he refused very vocally stating repeatedly, 'you agreed to this'. Â I agreed to nothing and he assumed so without even asking. Â In the time he spent displaying poor customer service, we could have switched tables twice. Â He is a poor representative of your establishment. Â It is a shame that his behavior ruined our entire party's experience and opinion of M. Henry.
In summary:
Until they clean up their act, go eat brunch somewhere else. Â There are hundreds of establishments with better food and comparable pricing, that have MUCH BETTER customer service and will appreciate your patronage.
O.M.G
I seriously love this place. I honestly wish we had one over in california. Best pancakes and french toast ever!
Both the pancakes and the french toast had the right texture and the right amount of added toppings to make each bite equally good. I love when places don't skimp on the fresh fruit on their plates like m.henry!
M.henry has an old-school homey feel to it like as  if you walked into someones home. It was such a quaint little spot!
oh and no wait for us so that was a definite plus!
Definitely coming here again if I'm ever in chicago - without a doubt!
First off, a huge thank you to my server, Maggie, who always had a smile on her face every time she filled my coffee cup.
When it comes to brunch, I sometimes have a difficult time choosing between sweet and savory. Luckily, I don't have to choose here. You can have a half-order of any of the sweet selections for $6.25 and not break your bank or your waistline. So that made my choices slightly easier.
I decided on the bacon wrapped baked eggs with polenta & mixed field greens with a half order of sweet potato pancakes. Both were delicious and not too heavy, a perfect compliment to each other. I'm definitely going back before the seaonal menu changes.
WARNING: If you're not going by yourself, I suggest you go early for brunch. With no reservations taken and a delicious menu, the line piles on FAST. Also, unless you're one of the first tables, don't come here for a quiet meal.
When I first moved to Andersonville, a friend of mine suggested that I check out mHenry for their brunch menu. Â That was in 2007 and I still consider it the best spot for brunch on the northside of Chicago. Â The Latina Omelet is a personal favorite, though their Dagwood Veggie Sandwich and Tom Turkey Sandwich are also worth trying. Â I applaud them for using organic and locally-sourced produce (when available, their menu says)--you really can taste the difference. Â I suggest going early (pre-10am) or after noon to avoid the rush.
Review Source:Have been here 3 times, one of my favorite places for brunch in Chicago area so far. The food is always fresh tasting and interesting and always enjoy the latin twist in many of their dishes. They emphasize the use of local seasonal ingredients which makes their menu fun and constantly changing! Â I have yet to try their pancakes which I've heard are incredible but I am sure even more incredible is their bread pudding: buttery brioche in a vanilla scented custard with delicious warm fruit on top. DIVINE. I think I dream of this bread pudding sometimes but don't admit it. Getting there earlier is a must as there is always a 30-45 min wait to get in there.
Review Source:Wait time wasn't too bad, only about 10 minutes give or take, which was nice considering it was a Sunday at 11am. Friendly staff and atmosphere. I loved my dish (poblano pepper eggs), my husbands was equally good. Only thing I would say negatively about it was that they brought the wrong food the first time and that there was a piece of plastic in the food they brought the second time. They didn't charge us for that meal, without us asking. Overall it wasn't a great or terrible experience.
Review Source:This is hands down my favorite place in the entire city for pancakes. Â I have never had a better pancake.
They dress it up with all sorts of goodness... black berries, warm peaches, vanilla creme something rather... so many different varieties to choose from... and yet everyone delicious.
I challeeeenge you to find a better pancake. Â It can't be done!
I LOVE their food!!! I find the menu very creative and fun, with lots of "special" ingredients you don't find at all breakfast spots.
It makes me laugh reading some of the negative reviews-people be more grateful to have someone else cook your food, serve it and clean up after yourselves. I sure am grateful to have found M Henry a few years ago. I've been going there as often as I could. I always find new things to try off the menu.
Job well done, M Henry!
After hearing nothing but fabulous reviews about this famous Andersonville brunch spot, I was rather excited to give it a try when I had an out of town visitor come to Chicago. I was always a little reluctant to try, because as most people, I rarely carry cash on me and from what I recall, this place was cash only... however, that has changed!
So after a long wait, I finally get to try M. Henry and much to my chagrin disappointment awaited me. Upon entering the establishment there was a major line with no where to go, so crowding should always be expected Saturday and Sunday mornings. I put our name in with the pseudo-pleasant hostess and we attempt to find a place where we would be out of the way. After a good 30 minutes we hear our name being softly called.
Now, on to the meat of the review... the pros and cons:
Pros:
* Nice menu with a twist from the traditional brunch fair. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Though my brunch companion said the soup was too acidic I found it to be the perfect dipping companion to my grilled cheese.
* The atmosphere was country and cozy, though a little cramped. I really enjoyed the mixture of table styles and hanging art.
Cons:
* The service was HORRIBLE. Our waitress not only had the speed of a snail, but the personality of one too. More often than not we had to either flag her down or ask another member of the wait staff to find her.
* Expect a long dining experience... in combination to the slow service our food seemed to take forever to get to us from the moment we ordered to the time it arrived on the table.
Over all, I wish I could give M. Henry more stars - but until I decide to try it again, 2 is the best I can award them. Pity really... not worth the hour wait.
So I was visiting my friend in Chicago for her birthday weekend, and we decided we would be fatties and make the entire weekend about eating good food. After seeing the amazing reviews and hype of the place, I thought I was in for a big breakfast heaven.
Maybe it's because I'm a huge breakfast fan, but this place didn't live up to the hype or the expectations. The bread pudding was probably the best dish out of the 3 we ordered. It was pretty good, but again, my expectations were really high, so based on all the hype, it wasn't THAAAAT good. I also got the banana french toast. As much as I love sweets, it really was waaaaay too sweet for my tastebuds and the syrup literally felt and tasted so sticky, I felt like the french toast was just drenched in melted caramel. The sweetness of the dish could've definitely been toned down. My friend ordered some dandelion greens omelette and I don't think she liked it very much either, 'cause from what I remember, she didn't even eat half of it.
Probably wouldn't come again the next time I'm in town, just because there's probably many other places to try.
I was SO excited to come here. My friend was visiting from back home (aka thousands of miles away) and both of us were stoked to try this place after seeing good reviews online and in a magazine. Unfortunately, the food disappointed.
Granted, the food was still good. But it wasn't GOOD... wasn't worth the long EL ride over. We got the bread pudding (I think it was called "out of this world"?) and... it wasn't. Good, but again, nothing too special. I ordered an omelette with dandelion greens and shallots, and that was also "ehh". My friend ordered some kind of banana french toast, and the sauce was really sticky.
All in all, maybe if my expectations hadn't been so high, I would have liked this place better. But for now, I probably will not be back.
I just had brunch at m.henry this morning, and I have to say that the Blackberry Bliss was delicious. This is a good brunch place. The reason I only gave it three stars is that I didn't feel like it was anything special. The menu was pretty typical, and my entire group liked their food but didn't love it.
However, a big plus is that it's BYOB so we brought champagne and made our own mimosas.
A very cute little restaurant in Chicago.
I had one of their breakfast sandwiches which I thought was very savory. I really enjoyed it. It came with a side of their famous Rosemary Potatoes. I thought the potatoes were mediocre. My friend had their Brioche French Toast which was quite delicious. It was sweet but not overly sweet.
We really enjoyed brunch here and would definitely go back on our next Chicago trip is time permits!
They told us the wait would be 20 minutes. After 50 minutes of waiting in a claustrophobic lobby, during which time the hostess knocked a half a pot of hot coffee onto my friend's leg, my friend and I decided to walk outside while the other two people in our party waited. Then the hostess called our name, and because we all weren't standing in the lobby, they crossed our name off the list completely.
No pancakes are that good. NOT. WORTH. THE. WAIT.
F THIS PLACE!
I came here for breakfast and was given a 20min wait estimate. Â
During the wait the greeter spilled half a pot of coffee on my friends coat. Â This is not an exaggeration. Â It was all over the floor and soaked one side of her coat. The greeter looked at the coat and said, "just a minute" and walked away, never to return. Â It was shocking. No apology. Â No offer of a napkin. Â etc. Â I would expect better manners from a 7 year old. Â
But we were all hungry and we decided to let it slide. Â They hired a socially challenged greeter. Â It was mysterious, but whatever.
After 50 minutes. Â Something was obviously wrong. Â Greeters are not psychics, being a little off on the estimate is no big deal. Â Being 300% off on an estimate is not cool. Â We asked for an updated expectation and were told that the wait would be another 10 minutes. Â we were HUNGRY. Â so part of our party left to check the wait time at nearby places. Â
At that point the greeter crossed us off the list and started to seat another party. Â I asked why and was told that we gave up our place when one member of our party walked away, its their policy. Â I complained. Â The manager came over and repeated their policy. Â I explained the situation including the hour wait and the coffee spill. Â The manager did not care. Â He was not apologetic about the coffee spill. Â He was not concerned that the greeter had not apologized or offered help. Â He did not care about our wait. Â He said that he didnt care if he lost a customer, policy was policy. Â
F THIS PLACE
I went here for brunch and had the Fall Comfort Plate. It was basically a seasonally-inspired, locally-sourced version of a good ol' American breakfast - eggs, sausage, and a crepe in place of the hash browns.
Frankly, I think they try too hard, and was left a little disappointed with this plate. The flavors were just a little too much for first thing in the morning.
Now, my date on the other had went for one of the all-out sweet breakfasts. THAT was amazing. I think if I were to go back (which is unlikely) I would lean toward one of their sweet concoctions, rather than savory.
Service is prompt and professional - Props.
We went to m Henry today for the first time because of the yelp reviews and because the menu sounded delicious and different from our typical breakfast placed- bongo room & over easy.
M Henry delivered !!! We absolutely loved the food, the service was great, very attentive and polite, the restaurant is really nicely laid out with separated areas.
We had the banana French toast, with caramel & toasted pecans- it was SO good especially compared to the banana pancakes I had at bongo room last week. The French toast even came with banana chips on top.. What a unique addition to a dish ! We also tried the egg sandwich, which despite the common name was really tasty, and we loved the potatoes ! Someone below mentioned this and I agree- m Henry has almost perfected breakfast potatoes. I also had the chai latte and it had really good flavor. We also noticed that it is BYOB which is kind of nice!
We loved this restaurant and will definitely be coming back multiple times to try the rest of the menu !
Brioche French Toast with berries & vanilla creme for the win!!
To be honest, I was a bit skeptical after reading the most recent reviews. Â I was worried that the place wouldn't live up to its hype despite the 1000+ reviews and a solid 4 star rating.
We arrived around 11:30 on Saturday afternoon and found the waiting area was relatively full of people. Â We were quoted with a 5 to 10 minute wait. Â My boyfriend and I were super skeptical and to be honest, a bit put off by her estimate. Â We don't even get that short of a wait time for places around our place in the suburbs. Â
We were seated relatively fast and waited probably closer to the higher end of our wait and maybe even slightly over 10 minutes. Â We sat in the main dining room toward the windows at a table top for two. Â We were seated next to another group. Â We were close to them and could hear their conversation, but we were not sitting on top of them, which was good. Â
The restaurant was somewhat loud, which was a bit off-putting at first, but then we got used to it so it was fine. Â Also, I really liked the decor of the restaurant. Â I enjoyed the exposed brick walls and the decor was tasteful. Â I also enjoyed how a desk was used as a table.
The food was amazing! Â The french toast came with three thick slices and had some sliced strawberries and powdered on top of the first slice on the stack. Â Blackberries and blueberries were also included. Â The vanilla creme was the best thing though. Â It was smooth, creamy and not too sweet. Â I loved cutting off pieces of my toast and dipping it into the creme. Â The portion was too big for me so I took the rest home. Â I had some the next day and it still tasted good.
My boyfriend got the quiche served with a side salad, which he enjoyed. Â The quiche had pieces of applewood smoked bacon in it that I enjoyed. Â The salad also had a great dressing. Â Oh, and I got the applewood smoked bacon on the side, which came with about four pieces of bacon. Â The bacon was delicious.
The service was OK. Â Our server was friendly, but my boyfriend had to ask about twice before he got his cup of coffee refilled. Â The hostesses at the front could also be a tad more friendly.
Other than that, overall, a wonderful experience at m.henry and I definitely want to go back or try their sister location m.henrietta. Â Oh, and save on parking costs by snagging a spot on the residential streets instead of parking on Clark.
Went here for brunch on New Years Day. It was packed and we waited 30 minutes for a table. They have a large waiting area indoors so we didn't have to stand outside and freeze. My friends ordered an egg sandwich and I got the salmon eggs benedict. My friends said the sandwich was unremarkable even though it had "killer" in the name. My salmon was cold from the refrigerator, so imagine biting into a perfectly warm poached egg and getting a bite of cold raw salmon. In my past salmon bennie experiences at other brunch spots, the salmon has been room temp. The dish didn't come with potatoes or bacon - just a side salad. It was just all-around odd. I wouldn't recommend this dish or this brunch spot. I'll go elsewhere before coming back to give it a second chance.
Review Source:This place was packed but quite honestly I don't get it. Yes, they serve breakfast but no better than iHOP or Denny's.  Quite honestly the host was rude - we wanted to sit at  a bigger table and she made us sit at a table for (2) vs. a larger table for (4) the whole time we are there... no body came in groups of (4). And there were 6 empty tables.
Don't flatter yourself next time - if a paying customer asks to sit at a larger table because they don't want to be benched up between a row of busy people  - meet there request - not coming back
PS your potatoes were dry
Rosemary potatoes! Yes, m. henry has perfected the breakfast potato, and if you haven't had them then you are not whole.
Also awesome: fresh squeezed juices and the latina omelet, a fresh southwest-y creation rich with black beans, sour cream, and a delightful adobo on top that provided the perfect amount of heat.
Dim lighting, nice décor, cozy atmosphere.
Food was good.
Quiche was dedacant. Slightly cheesy with vege and onions in it. Really enjoyable. Strawberries were random though.
Hotcakes with marscapone and berries was absolutely delicious.
Server was unattentive, rarely present other than taking orders and delivering food. She seemed REALLY tired and didn't want to be there.
Did not even offer to split the check.
Was having trouble with the to go box right  in front of her and she didn't even offer to help. It is the little things.
May be understaffed.
Close fight between M. Henry's and the Bongo Room. But the Bongo wins by a nose in terms of the atmosphere, menu choices, and service. M. Henry's win in terms of it being opened earlier though it is closed Mondays which the Bongo Room is not.
A nice break from the trendster brunches I've been going to
Staff- very helpful
Wait - took a bit to get seated but the wait was considerably less then the estimates from the other places I called closer to the city. Plus there is coffee and baked goods available during the wait
Ambiance- crowded as expected. Â Lots of sunlight
Food- the strengths were in the sweet department rather then savory. Lots of the items could be converted to vegetarian which was a plus. Nothing special about the egg sandwich. Lots of great baked goods
I really love their breakfast. The coffee is delicious and the food always tastes extremely fresh. Â I wish they would mix up the menu a little more during the weekdays. Â
I don't like waiting in lines so I skip out on Sunday brunches, I would love to see more of a variety in their everyday menu.
I went there on Sunday with a few friends and we were extremely happy. The wait was a little long; the hostess told us 25 minutes and it ended up being 40 minutes. When we were waiting, one of our friends didn't show until a little later and they said they wouldn't seat us if we all weren't there. After waiting for that long, we weren't too happy. I understand there were others waiting but he was just a few minutes late.
Besides from the wait, the food was really good and the Chai Tea was the best Chai Tea that I have ever had. I ordered the m.henry's home comfort plate and it was really good besides the random food that didn't seem to go with each other. Everything tasted good, especially the apple-gouda chicken sausage drizzled with the a red wine syrup.
I am telling you order the Chai Tea you will NOT be disappointed.
I went here with a group of 5 women for a brunch to celebrate my best friend's wedding. M.Henry doesn't take reservations but I called and let them know we were coming and they said they would keep a table open for us. How nice! One of the reason's we chose to come here was their BYO drink policy. We had bottle after bottle of champagne and they do not even charge a corking fee! Whoa- that's special.
The food at m.henry is stellar. I had the quiche with loads of veggies and it was really good and very reasonably priced. In fact, everything at m.henry's seemed reasonably priced. I'm a fan and I'll likely return on my next trip to Chi-city.
Hey man, here is an excellent little place, ripe with beautiful mothers whom I worship from afar. That sounded creepy.
Here is a lovely little breakfast / brunch / lunch nook in a very safe part of Chicago where if you don't wear lands end, you will stick out like I did in my silver, black & gold Osaka tigers jacket. I also dined alone which had the $500 stroller crowd thinkin I must've either been a homosexual stay at home father, otherwise known as a gay at home dad, or a loser derelict with no scruples about eating alone. A strange combination of both is the case, however I digress.
The food:
I wanted to try a savory and a sweet, cuz I saw they had both.
Bliss Cakes - WhooOAaoOahOAOH!!! If I was a hot trophy wife in this hood who just got to stay home & do pilates & yoga I would get these on the regular tip. Â They smother one in powdered sugar and nuts and the underneath one is drenched in a raspberry sauce that is AMAZEBALLS. And just in case your food boner isn't fully twerked, they cram the middle with a CREAMY SAUCE THAT MUST BE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. Â Its like a delish cream. I don't know what is real anymore.
If I stopped there this place would get 5 stars, but
Fried Egg Sandwich - Saw this mentioned in a few reviews, wanted to get sweet & savory, again. So I got this one, meh, it was not bad, but not great, it seemed lacking. It was def big enough for my fat ass, but it seemed like something was lacking. The potatoes that came with it were not very good at all.
Fresh made lentil soup - I got this 2 go, and it was unreal, very awesome and very fresh. But I found a pebble in one, wah. Perhaps a sifter? I would still get their soup du jour again, despite this.
Overall, very awesome and worth multiple trips. I want to get everything on the menu.
This is a nice brunch place, but I can't say it is any better than the other dozen or so in Andersonville.
Strawberry-Peach Bliss cakes. They weren't bad, actually it was pretty good with the vanilla mascarpone. The problem was the cakes weren't "blissy" enough. Looking from the pictures others have posted of their dishes, everyone else got a generous granola crust. I barely had any. So my bliss cakes were more so like slight nirvana pancakes.:(
The one thing that was amazing were the home potatoes. A lot of times they're plain and under-cooked, but these were spiced heavily and well done. The chicken sausage was okay, and the vegan dish was pretty good, even for a carnivore such as myself.
I wish the portions were larger, or at least the specials came with sides. My pancakes came with nothing, and the vegan scramble came with one side. One thing I must give them credit for is their fruit salad. This damn salad had, and we counted, 8 different fruits included. And none of them were the typical throwaways like melon and cantaloupe. Good play M.Henry.
This place was amazing. Â I've been to Chicago three times in the last three months on business, and this place was brought to my recollection on each of those times.
This visit, however, I was able to make the detour to check it out, and I'm so glad that I did. Â Definitely read the reviews, and pay attention to the wait! Â As a party of one (one of the many downsides of traveling on business) I was seated promptly, but I watched the waiting area grow more congested as the brunch hour turned to lunch.
I'd reviewed the restaurant ahead of time but even so had no idea what I'd order -- I ended up with the dandelion omelette and it was all that I'd expected and more. Â I also, thankfully, ordered a whole bunch of food to go as I was immediately heading to my flight home.
Service was excellent. Â Food was incredible.
High points:
- Oh, that omelette!
- Oh, that scone!
- Oh, that empenada!
- Oh, that tuna sandwich, which I'm sure saved my life while I was suffering my traumatic flight home.
Low points:
- Oh, that wait! Â (if you're in a party of more than one, that is)
Maybe my first mistake was coming here for Sunday brunch. Actually it was probably going anywhere for Sunday brunch. I get that you're going to wait on a Sunday, and for delicious food and a nice meal with friends I don't mind that- for what we got at m.henry, I left pissed off.
My parents and I came here, waited 45 min, were finally sat -if you can call it that; the dude just pointed to a table and we assumed it was for us- and then barely given a chance to look at the menu. My dad was sort of iffy on what he wanted and the waitress suggested a dish and basically wrote it down & walked away before he had a chance to agree or disagree. We waited probably 25 minutes for the food to come out and when it did, the dish she'd ordered for my dad was a dry piece of brioche with an egg in it and a big bowl of salad. Not exactly what he'd had in mind for breakfast. The crab cake eggs benedict was fine, but the plate was so full of greens I barely had room to cut my food.
Our waitress had the check on our table before we were even done eating. And the whole time, there was a man standing in the room surveying, scouting for tables and yelling "3! 2! 4!" and herding people in and out as fast as he could.
It was pretty much the most unpleasant dining experience I've ever had. I know that Sunday brunch is going to be a madhouse, but the service here was basically rude, and the food just wasn't good enough to bring me back.
Sad.
Split the bread pudding as an "appetizer" as listed int he menu because we'd heard so many good things about it, plus it's named "out of this world." They were indeed quite good, but maybe not out of this world good, and left us quite full before our actual food came out.
I ordered some sort of caribbean omelette thing, which was all right. The orange juice was also okay.
Very popular and busy place. Got to sit outside in the patio on a lovely morning.
Very cute place! Â I must say the decor and mom-and-pop feel of this restaurant was my favorite part of the dining experience. Â The wooden tables and seats and hanging window panes as separators between tables, as well as the friendly service, made my feel so comfy and at home in the restaurant.
We ordered the blackberry blisscakes and the sandwich with egg and bacon (Frannie's fried egg sandwich).  The blackberry blisscakes were drenched in the berry sauce, filled with a sweet white cream, sprinkled with oats, and topped with a generous amount of strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries.  The berry coulis was a little sour, but the sweet white cream helped balance it out. The sandwich was okay (I don't really like runny eggs, so this compromised my opinion of the sandwich :P ).  The portions are pretty big, so we could barely finish our orders.  Overall, I'd give the food about a 3-3.5, but the whole feel of the restaurant and  overall dining experience would be a 4!
4 and a half stars!
Loved this place. The food is delicious and the service is great. Be prepared for a long wait, but it is a perfect place to catch up with friends on a lazy Sunday morning!
We tasted their truffled brioche, stuffed poblano, banana pancakes and a dandelion, leek ometette.All the dishes were delicious, but the truffled brioche and the stuffed poblano were absolute genius. My only complaint being I had to order toast as a side with my omelette, it did not come with it. And I need my toast with the eggs :)
We also tasted a cranberry scone from their bakery while we were waiting - and it was just scrumptious!!!
A selection from the current m. henry menu:
"jorge's black bean cakes & huevos borrachos (drunken eggs)
two homemade black bean cakes served w/masa tortillas topped w/chorizo or soy chorizo, eggs any style or scrambled tofu, topped with adobo sauce. served w/sliced avocado, queso fresco, & sour crème"
My version--with the soy chorizo, scrambled eggs, and hold the sour cream--was hands-down the best breakfast that I have eaten in years. Â Staggeringly, breathtakingly delicious. Â Perfect, even. Â Between that and the fact that the dining room is gloriously calm and quiet at 9:30 on a Tuesday morning, m. henry reaffirms its number-one place in my breakfast-loving heart.
