Henry's End

The Absolute Best Restaurants in Brooklyn Heights

"Open since 1973, this neighborhood institution feels like a comfortable spot for visiting parents and serves a meat-forward menu from a minuscule open kitchen — think juicy duckling glazed in honey-soy, walnut-crusted chicken breast, and retro mid-century dishes like steak Diane and veal scaloppine. The narrow room can feel cramped when full, but the kitchen turns out impressive plates, and each fall the annual wild game festival brings rotating seasonal specials (from elk chops in sour cherry sauce to rigatoni with emu ragù); there are also decent seasonal starter salads and several preparations of tuna and salmon for non-meat-eaters." - Kaitlin Jessing-Butz
