    Visited on a Sunday for brunch. Normally a brunch involves breakfast and lunch choices but this had like 6 choices on the menu. Service was slow considering it was empty. Breakfast came with 2 half piece of toast was pretty bad for a 28$ omelette. Will not be back

    The Henri Brasserie has beautiful design and decor and background music. The waitress was very pleasant and professional. The issue with the poor service is the lack of staff. Our before dinner drinks arrived after the appetizer! It took about 25 minutes to get them. They need to hire a few more bartenders to keep up. In fact, the table next to us cancelled their drinks because the wait was too long! Food was good. Again, service from the kitchen is slow. Maybe short staffed here too? Considering that you would expect a high end experience at Henri Brasserie, we were disappointed. Management has to step it up.

    L'ambiance et le service étaient impeccables. Toutefois, la valeur de la nourriture - à mon avis - qualité vs prix était juste bon

    A beautiful setting, good food, but misleading menu. There is no mention that "flat water" will cost you seven dollars. Or that three pieces of bread will cost you nine dollars. Also, my glass of Vouvray cost more, on my bill, than the listed price. Between the time we ordered and the arrival of my moules-frites, one hour and a quarter had passed. Too slow. Too expensive.

    The quality of service personnel was excellent, but time-wise, the service was quite slow. We waited over 50 minutes for the main course to arrive. Not easy to have a limited time lunch event here during the week.

    Service was unbelievably slow. Waitress said it was because of the new menu at lunch but they better do something about it because otherwise food was very good. Slow slow service spoils the experience.
