This restaurant is chef-owned and it is outstanding! The menu was certainly a nice variety of items to choose from and the waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the food served. We didn't feel rushed at all and were treated so nicely by everyone we had contact with. Overall, a fabulous place to dine and I look forward to returning when... More

We have been dining at Bistro Henry for many years and I am always impressed. The food is delicious. My favorite entree is the wonderful steak au poivre cooked in an amazing sauce of flavorful peppercorns. My husband loves the crab cakes and scallops. The food is delicious and the ambiance and staff are terrific especially the ever present Henry.

First time in the area and Bistro Henry was a gem. Steak au Poivre was very good, loaded with pepper, cooked perfectly. Seared duck was delicious. Great selection of affordable wines.

We have been going to Bistro Henry for 8+ years. Great food, wonderful broad menu. Owner is a real entrepreneur, great promotions, nines ( nine dollar dishes on certain days ), summer barbecue, Tuesday/early dinner specials etc. Never had a bad meal. Wine list is terrific.

Don't even bother on a weekend without a reservation. Locals and visitors love this place, the food was very good and dessert was delicious. We would go back.

We spent a night in Manchester while heading to points farther north, and Bistro Henry was recommended by our B&B. We were not disappointed. Everything was delicious, the crab cakes in particular were outstanding, and service was excellent. I would definitely head back again if in the area, but if Henry is reading, I would also recommend a modest additional... More

Thanks so much for the kinds words. I am particularly flattered by the comment "talent in the kitchen" Since you mentioned me by name, I have to respond... Regarding flooring... the ceilings are too low and the building to old for anything but carpet. Tile would never make it. We did just spread 12 gallons of paint in the dining... More

Bistro Henry did not disappoint ...we enjoyed our dinner so much that I already made reservations for the next time we are up at Stratton. The service was good, the food was wonderful! Just a note...they have an early bird special menu that ends at 6 on specific nights.

I tried Bistro Henry on a lark and was very pleasanlty surprised with the experience. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and the ambiance pleasant (romantic, too, though I was solo this time). I went the four course route, starting with a autumn harvest soup that was pure, liquid goodness. The escargot were quite good, too. I opted for... More
