Editorial Review for Henrietta's Table – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
Henrietta's rustic, farmhouse decor makes for a homey atmosphere within the chic Charles Hotel. The main dining area, casual and friendly, attracts local professionals, families and hotel guests. A sunny patio is open in warmer months, and bar dining is available for a solo meal and perhaps a chat with one of the friendly bartenders. Waitstaff is always pleasant, adding to the restaurant's "down on the farm" feeling.
The Food
An emphasis on fresh, local, farm-grown fare is clear as seasonal ingredients purchased directly from local farms fill the short but robust menu. Fresh salads served in wooden bowls whet the appetite with crisp local greens and cheeses. Main courses, such as seared wild king salmon, Yankee pot roast, and grit cakes with sautéed mushrooms, are hearty and flavorful. A dessert list as long as the rest of the menu tempts with homemade concoctions such as cheesecake, bread pudding, and ice cream.
Hits
The freshness of the food cannot be understated, as dishes delight the eyes as well as the tastebuds.
Misses
A bit on the expensive side, a complete meal with side dishes can bring the bill to a level higher than the casual atmosphere might suggest.

I went to henrietta's table last week, on an extremely busy monday night (we were a party of 5). The restaurant was completely full, however, the managerial staff only had three servers on the entire floor, at least that we noticed. Despite the hectic night inside the restaurant, and the fact that it was understaffed, our waitress was phenomenal (her name was Ashley, and she was a young, cheery female). She was extremely friendly, very accomodating, and shared with us a vast knowledge of both the foods offered on the menu and the wine list. Despite the fact that she was obviously very busy, she took time making us feel very welcome, and often stopped in to check on us and make sure we were doing well. Ashley recommended the pork chop and it was met with rave reviews from those of us who ordered it. To be honest, the food was mediocre, fatty, and slow. However, our service more than made up for it. I'm not sure if i'll go back, but if I do, i'll certainly request the same waitress.
Pros: great server
Cons: fatty, greasy food. slow kitchen service.

Had heard good things about this restaurant and was looking forward to a good meal with good friends. First - the staff seating folks seemed bored, no eye contact and certainly no pleasantries! The table cloth was dirty and had not been changed in between guests!!!! The waitress was young, attractive and couldn't have cared less. The restaurant was half full on a Saturday night so there should have been no reason for the waitress to be so hurried, to reach across people to hand you your cutlery, to walk off before anyone had been asked if they wanted coffee....it was just pretty unblievable actually. Now - the food. The presentation was very poor and the food was mediocre at best. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for any reason.
