What People Are Saying
from Google"I enjoyed the seafood more than I ever expected; it was truly stunning. The staff were warm, kind, and always ready to help. The place is small, so it can get tight, and at times guests had to squeeze past my table. Still, the dishes were so wonderful that every moment felt worth it."
"I've heard a ton about Henry's and now I know why! Took Mom for a birthday dinner. They were so accommodating to squeeze an additional guest in last minute! The cocktails....wow. my pomegrate martini was top notch. The food was phenomenal. All of it. I had the Caesar salad (salad is included with all meals), broiled seafood platter (the scallops were perfection....the best I have ever eaten) and tiramisu. Get the broiled seafood platter trust me (lobster, clams casino, crab imperial stuffed shrimp, scallops, sole in brown butter with green beans and a baked potato. Holy yum! Just go...but leave a seat for me!"
"After what felt like months of trying, I finally scored a last minute reservation at Henry’s Salt of the Sea a small, always-booked spot in Allentown that I’d been eager to check out. I lucked out with an 8 PM table the same day I called. When my wife and I arrived, the place was packed and lively. We waited a few minutes at the door before being seated, and from there, the experience was flawless. Our server was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had, extremely attentive without being overbearing. We started with drinks: I went with a chocolate peanut butter Old Fashioned, and my wife had a lemon drop martini. Both were on point. For appetizers, she had the colossal lump crab with warm butter, and I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops with a brandy sauce. Both were phenomenal and plated beautifully. The main courses didn’t disappoint. I went with the swordfish special, and my wife chose the classic surf and turf. Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and lived up to the hype, something that’s rare and refreshing these days. To wrap it up, I ordered the house made crème brûlée and a coffee. No complaints there either, just a great ending to an incredible meal. I can confidently say that Henry’s Salt of the Sea was worth the wait, and I’m already looking forward to the next visit."
"This establishment seems to be frequented by loyal locals. The ambience gives old school there are paper place mats booths with wooden benches. For the price I would expect white table cloth service. Any who on to the details the hostess was busy and cordial. A seasoned woman not charismatic has her best hosting days behind her. We order a couple of appetizers I will only rate the one we ate trying not to be negative, the mussels in butter sauce were plentiful however the butter sauce was extremely oily. I’m accustomed to a light butter and garlic sauce but we used the sauce to dip our bread which was more suitable. The two entrees in the photos are the seafood platter and the Walleye fish. The seafood platter received a good review by my partner with an inexperienced palette but I did try one of the scallops an it was a little gummy. The walleye entree the fish was soft and moist not over cooked with tomatoes and mushrooms in a creamy butter sauce that was light. It tasted fresh not a lot of herbs or salt. The mash potatoes were good and the vegetables were steamed al dente in their natural state. All in all the food was not bad but I found the quality vs the price $110 for food only, I don’t see the value in returning."
"My girlfriend and I visited here for the first time. We loved the atmosphere with its dark woods and narrow style. It was also great to see the chef cooking in an open kitchen next to our table. Our server, Holly, was welcoming, knowledgable, and had perfect timing. My meal began with clams casino. I have had the dish in Chicago, New York City, and several other places, but this was the absolute best I had ever tasted. We enjoyed their fresh dinner rolls and their stellar house salads, complete with in-house prepared croutons. I went on to plate of lump crab that was light and delicious while my girlfriend enjoyed her wonderful chicken dish. And our drinks were stellar. My Hendrick's gin and basal martinis were refreshing while my girlfriend loved her pumpkin martinis. It was like liquid pumpkin pie. We couldn't fit dessert but we took a limoncello ice cream treat to go, which was tangy and refreshing. We cannot wait to return!"
