Henrietta’s: The Culinary Gem Within the Dewberry Hotel

When you first step inside Henrietta’s, you immediately feel the French influence and inspiration. Their website reads “Rooted in Lowcountry bounty and Southern Hospitality, Henrietta’s menu draws influence from around the globe” which was completely evident to me when I perused their French-inspired menu this week.

I have to say, I was just as pleased with the impeccable service as I was the delicious food! The staff and the chefs were so accommodating for this shoot, and every dish and drink and shot was thought out down to the last detail. I really appreciate being around people who love what they do, and the vibrant energy that came flooding from the staff at Henrietta’s made me feel so happy. I returned for lunch today actually, and we were so well taken care of by our server.

What also makes them unique is their features and specials! I love that they do Wine + Dine Wednesday, where their bottles of wine are half off! Also, if a restaurant doesn’t have happy hour, I’m always super disappointed, and Henrietta’s not only has one but it’s a really great one! Check out what else they have going on:

What to Order:

I had the most difficult time choosing what to order. Everything looked so good! I’m such a fan of French food, and the Southern touches on each dish were so delicious and unexpected. Everything that was brought to us was also gorgeously plated. You can see how much effort and thought chef Michael Tuohy puts into each dish. I couldn’t’ wait to dig in! Here are the details on the items I tried on the menu:
