Description

Diners have experienced a wide range of quality at this establishment. While some praised the delicious steaks and impeccable service, others encountered disappointing meals, particularly dry or overcooked dishes. The atmosphere has received mixed reviews, with some enjoying the vibrant ambiance while others felt it lacked energy. Highlights included the carefully crafted cocktails and the restaurant's commitment to providing a variety of drinks, including non-alcoholic options. Overall, it seems that while there are commendable dining experiences to be had, consistency remains a concern, making it a hit-or-miss destination for guests.

We went in on Monday night, it was quiet but we were greeted by 2 really helpful and friendly staff members. They made a fuss of our dogs and brought them water. The food was excellent and so fresh! I had the burger which was delicious and I was stuffed afterwards. My partner had the steak which was cooked perfectly. Definitely would recommend this place Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We visited Henlys during our holiday in Cornwall on a Tuesday evening, when they had a special deal—two basket meals for just £12. The bar area was quite calm, and the owner made us feel very welcome. They offered a nice selection of Cornish beers and ciders; I opted for a pint of Korev, while my wife picked a large glass of white wine. For our meals, I had the chicken wings and my wife chose the chicken strips, both of which were basket meals. Our son went for the baked cod from the specials menu. All three meals were delicious. For dessert, my son enjoyed a chocolate fondant, and I had an excellent lemon tart. We enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to make a reservation for the following evening to try the two steaks for £50 (I'll share my thoughts on that later).

Booked into Henley’s last minute, and what a pleasure it was. Service was brilliant and our host, Emma (I think), was fantastic. The food was perfect and our steak was probably one the best we’ve had. Cooked to perfection (it’s amazing how many get a simple steak cooked right so so wrong) but not here, absolute perfection. Best meal we have had all week in Cornwall! We will be back next year Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
