Restaurant review: Henry’s in Stanley – familiar decor and decent sized dishes done well
With delicious dishes such as the spinach and feta soufflé and salmon fishcakes still on the menu, a lamb fillet that hit the spot and decor unchanged, the new owner of renamed Stanley fixture Lucy’s continues a winning recipe
The ‘help wanted’ sign outside Henry’s restaurant in Stanley almost made us decide to go somewhere else for lunch; the fact that they were looking for a chef at “any level” did not sound good.
We tried it anyway, and had an enjoyable meal.
Henry’s looks exactly the same as we remember it from long-ago visits when the establishment was still Lucy’s – the exterior, signage, interior and even the blackboard listing the specials, which is carried from table to table, was the same.
Lucy’s has a sex change - South Side restaurant saved from closure, to reopen as Henry’s
And many of the dishes seemed the same – and why not? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You don’t come here expecting foams or caviar – just simple food, done well.
