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!

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.

Henry's Salt of the Sea is a French-inspired seafood restaurant located on W Allen St. in Allentown. It's open Monday through Thursday, 4:30 PM - 9 PM, and Friday and Saturday, 4:30 PM - 10 PM. Reservations required. I can't believe it's been nearly a decade since I was last here. It feels so good to be back, everything is just as incredible as I remember. My friends and I started with the bacon wrapped scallops, fried calamari, and escargot and garlic butter. The scallops could have used a few more minutes in the oven, but overall, the appetizers were flavorful and skillfully prepared. For dinner, I ordered the fruits de mer, one of my favorite dishes, and Henry's absolutely knocked it out of the park. The dish features a generous mix of lobster, shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat, all served in a creamy garlic sauce over linguine. My friends had the broiled cold water lobster twin tails and chicken Alfredo. The lobster was sweet, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and served with brown butter. The Alfredo was rich and creamy, with juicy, well cooked chicken. Our server, Jaime, made the evening even better. She was attentive from start to finish. Henry's is hands down one of the best restaurants in the Lehigh Valley.

I’ve been coming to Henry’s Salt of the Sea for decades, usually a couple times a year, and it’s just one of those places that never disappoints. The food and service are always great, and I really like that the atmosphere hasn’t changed over the years. It feels familiar and welcoming every time. My go-to is the broiled seafood combo. They do it really well and it hits the spot every time. I’ll try a special once in a while too, and those are always worth checking out. The bar makes proper drinks, which I really appreciate. Whether I’m there with one other person or a group, I always leave feeling glad I went. Just a dependable spot that’s been doing it right for a long time.

The seafood was some of the best in have ever had. People and service were amazing very nice and attentive. It is pretty small. People were literally putting their butt's on my table to squeeze by. The food was so great made it worth it.

This is definitely a hidden gem. I absolutely enjoyed my meal. The vibe was great, and it was well lit while still keeping its romanticism flare. The food was out in a timely manner, and they did not have you waiting odd times to bring out your dish. The drinks were good, and the cocktail mixes were tasty. I didn't feel like they were stiffing you. The portion sizes were very reasonable for the price that you paid. The dishes were running a $35 and up price range, and it did not disappoint. There is off the street parking so please be ready to find parking or rideshare over. (Especially if you consume alcohol) Dont forget to make your reservations! I would definitely recommend this hidden gem and I will be back another time.

I finally got to have dinner here! Decision to try it was based on feedback from neighbors and co-workers that gave it 5-star reviews My comparison is based against the Marblehead Chowder House and Youell's Oyster House. I'll offer my final assessment 1st. Bottom line is given the cost of dinner, the small portions, the hassle to park your car, the long line/waiting time to sit (even with a reservation), it's just not worth my trouble. To me the food was very good, not great. I ordered the broiled seafood combo ($49,00), and it felt fresh. The place is very busy, and I felt rushed. The tables are close together, be ready to rub elbows. They let you know someone will be displacing you from your seat, so move it along doggie - lol! Each dish appears to be individually cooked to order, and they do a good job preparing your dinner in the kitchen. The staff is far too busy to be very friendly, but it feels more businesslike. They must be doing things right considering how packed they always seem to be. Maybe it's just not right for me? Marblehead and Youell's have their own peculiarities, but you can't go wrong with the meal at any of these places.

I am not sure what I am missing here but we have been a few times and I am always hoping for a better experience but it always disappoints. We went with a small group for a birthday party and were completely underwhelmed. The service was terrible and our waiter was very short and rude. We got a variety of entrees from fish to steak. The steaks were flavorless and the fish was rubbery and lacked flavor as well. The next day a couple of people in our party were ill. Not sure how this place packs the people in. I am fine paying for a higher priced meal but this place is just not worth it.

An absolute classic. It's been 20 years since I last visited Henry's and I swear it's exactly the same. In a great way. The inside looks and feels like home (if that makes sense) old school vibe. The service is amazing. My waitress was wonderful and very charming. The crab cakes were exactly as I remembered. More crab than filling. I hate crab cakes w too much breading. These were perfection. Please don't ever change!!!

I wish I would have taken pictures but this is not the kind of place you whip out your phone. The scallop daily special was amazing but the Caesar Salad and the homemade ice-cream are hard to forget. So glad we were able to get a table while we were in town. Don pass this place by. You'll be glad you stopped and consider yourself lucky to get a seat.

Old school seafood restaurant. You need a reservation, but worth it. Seafood Fra Diavlo is my favorite and the Escargot is awesome and buttery. Been here twice now and everything we've tried has been great!

Had a great dinner tonight at Henry's, the ambiance couldn't have been better, reminded me of the super clubs back home in WI. Our server, Ashlie was fabulous, super friendly, she recommended the limoncello dessert so yummy!...I travel a ton for work, one of the foods I love in this area of the state is the lump crab with brown butter,so excited they had it on the menu....it was perfect! We will definitely go back!

So happy to be back on a date with my husband! Jaime was an exceptional sever. Friendly, very efficient and appreciative of our patronage. The food is full of excellent flavor and the presentation is true perfection. You may want to save room for appetizers and dessert. Key lime pie was one of the features tonight. We will be returning soon!

Very good food, nice salad bar. Last experience with the wait staff made us feel a little rushed to be out of there by 9. Not the best ambiance, there have been little to no modernizing done here.

First time dining here and all I can say is my hubby and I will definitely be back! Love the old school atmosphere. Had a reservation for 7 was sat and greeted by 7:15. Holly was our server and was pleasant and on point. We ordered some appetizers, bacon scallops and cold jumbo lump crab. Excellent and fresh! Dinner was surf and turf. Melted in our mouth, steak was cooked to perfection and the tail was fresh and the brown butter topped it all off! Excellent can't wait to go back!

Update. As usual the Food, service from our waitress Joyce was outstanding. We can never forget the Ambiance. It feels like an adult only to us. Comfortable Booths with patrons who feel very good at the bar. There are tables for many also with bigger groups for maybe a celebration or anniversary. We've been going to Henry's Salt of the sea for many years and will continue into our twilight years.

The food was average, upon entering my party noticed non of the wait staff were smiling, the bar was on the small side could seat maybe 12 clients, the dining room is on the small side, have fun parking, prices were above average for the area. When ordering at the very bottom of the one page in size 6 font stating 90mins limit to eat. Our waitress never said anything and it is not stating on thier website about limiting cliental to 90 mins. I have eaten at places where the waitress will inform the cliental about the limit seating time restrictions. This was my parties first and last time at Henery' Salt of the Sea.

I can't wait to come back to Henry's Salt of The See. First off, when you walk in the front door, you are taken back to an old school, hole-in-the wall era that is very warm and inviting. I love all the wood on the ceiling and walls. It was so beautiful and cozy. The waitress we had was just wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menue and all the specials for that day. She was very attractive and service was in a timely manner which I totally appreciate. I hade one of the specials for that day, which was trout with a side of steamed vegetables and another side of potatoes. The sides were pretty good but that trout, oh man was it good! Absolutely delicious. I would recommend anybody to visit Henry's Salt of The Sea. Plus their not too bad with the price. About $100 for two people and a few drinks. I will be coming back the Henry's Salt of The Sea.

Amazing food! Best seafood restaurant in the valley. It's a bit of a tight squeeze, small inside, outdated. But who cares because their food is top notch! All the staff is friendly and check on you frequently through the meal. Make sure you make your reservations ahead of time. Well worth the wait!!

Was in Allentown for an event dined at this wonderful location two times while here. The first time sitting at the bar with Frank well he suggested what we needed to order... He was correct on all counts. Food was so good we came back two days later and had a meal at one of the tables. This is a wonderful location, somewhat catchy and small but great cuisine. Highly recommend this when you're in Allentown. I will definitely be back

This was our first time here and we were ready to book another reservation for next week! It was amazing. The food was fresh and unbelievably delicious, good size portions to feed a hungry appetite and the staff was attentive and friendly. No pictures because we ate them up fast, but we had bacon wrapped scallops as an appetizer, seafood scampi & the broiled combo. To die for!! It was a cozy environment, which I loved. Every seat was full. Will definitely be back soon.

Reservation highly recommended. Appetizer: - Brown Sugar Bacon Scallop 5/5: bacon is crispy and scallop is not dry... but it's kinda cheating because bacon makes everything better! - Salad: from a salad bar. Blah Main course: - Maryland Lump Crab Cakes (fried) 3/5: My husband loves crab cakes and he gets crab cakes everywhere he goes. He said the crabcakes is bland and needed a lot of sauce - Duck special 2/5: duck meat is dry, the skin is bland and not crispy. The sauce is raspberry based - too sweet. I had to add a lot of salt! - Green bean sides that come with the meal 0/5: Is this canned green beans? For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected a decent fresh veggie instead of canned. The green bean was pale and overcooked. Well, overall the food is very underwhelming. Everything needs seasoning! This is not a fine dining restaurant... I mean which fine dining place put salt on the table? It's like they know the customer would need it. For the price, I expected more... although I must say the place gives you a unique experience. Service was good.

Great menu and food. Lobster française was delicious. The shrimp français was great, but the veal it was served with was a bit dry. Excellent salad and sides. Our server (Angelo?) was outstanding. Its long narrow ldining room is quite crowded but once you're seated, it's OK. Will definitely go back again.

I didn't enjoy Henry's at all. It was so highly recommended and I went there with my husband to celebrate my 60th birthday and felt like I was in the 1960's. The place is old school, the food the same. I don't understand why anyone would recommend this place - maybe when I get to my 80th birthday, it would work. I will say, the server was lovely and very attentive.

Always the best service, Food, presentation and overall experience. This is our go to for all special dinners. We love Holly she is an excellent server. Highly recommend you have reservations and that you experience both their seafood and steaks - as their entire menu is excellent -- best in the Valley!!! And the dinning room is quiet - something that's super important to me -- you don't see many kids running around - a PLUS!

My spouse and I recently enjoyed (immensely) dinner at Henry's. Everything - the service, food, comfy ambiance - was excellent. I'm a seafood lover and got the broiled seafood combo - lobster, scallops, clams, shrimp topped with crab Imperial, sole fillet, accompanied by a salad and garlic parm potatoes, perfectly done green beans that still had some snap. Besides it all being really tasty, this place continues to do brown butter right! No, not melted butter, or blackened butter with grit, but actual smooth and savory browned butter that added the right touch to the meal, enhancing but not overpowering the seafood's delicate flavors. Vegetarians may have to flex or negotiate, because the awesome salad bar is gone (at least right now). My spouse ended up getting a kitchen-made salad not on the menu and they were not grudging about topping it nicely with lots of goodies. We had a really good and friendly server, Rodrigo, who was quick, attentive and creative with suggestions. He knew his specials inside out and sold them well. Will we be back? This wasn't our first meal there, and definitely won't be our last. On a closing note - the prices are very reasonable for the high quality and decent quantity of food you get. If you're used to getting your seafood at, say, Red Lobster, this'll be a step way up worth taking. And unless you're disabled, it's not a huge deal to park on the street. After your big meal, the short walk will do you good.

Doesn't look like much when you walk past and it's definitely a neighborhood staple. Almost everyone there was a local who came there once a week or more. All the bar and wait staff is so friendly. I even ended up making some local friends that helped me with recommendations for my next restaurant. I forgot to take pics of my food. But everything was delicious.

Man, oh, man! Did I have my hopes really high for this restaurant, but we were not satisfied. You have to call to make reservations, so be sure to do that. Didn't catch our server's name, older gentleman, shaved head with glasses. He was polite and sped through the specials, holy moly, it was way too fast! We sat at the first table closest to the salad bar and we watched him grab a napkin, remove something from the salad bowls and throw it away. We didn't eat much of our salads after seeing that. We both ordered the special pan seared rainbow trout. This was my first time having rainbow trout, we are from southeast Texas and always have saltwater trout and redfish, both very flaky. The outside of the rainbow trout was crisp and flaky but when we got to the middle of the fish, it was mushy and not hot, wasn't cold, but wasn't hot. Needless to say we didn't eat the majority of our dinner. I ordered a baked potato, do not recommend. Comes out plain, it was small and warm. I asked the server if I could have some butter, cheese and sour cream. He pointed to the table and said to use the butter that he gave us for the bread and brought me some cheese and sour cream from the salad bar. As you can see in my photo the potato was small and not even warm enough to melt the toppings. My fiancé had the mashed potatoes and they were good. Tried the frozen mixed vegetables, they were bland, overcooked and should just remove them all together. Maybe their other food options are better, but our experience was not very well. $86 for two meals and two drinks.

This place is an absolute gem. First off the service was absolutely outstanding. Some of the best service from a waitress I have ever had. The food was absolutely delicious The owner cooks and is the sweetest man. This place is seriously so good. From the hand shaken cocktails to the delicious crab. It was truly incredible and we will be returning often!

Food was absolutely DELIGHTFUL! Service was Amazing! Our server Joyce gave us 1st class service! Ambiance is rustic, it was clean. It was very busy -yet Not bothersome in any type of way. The lighting is perfectly set and the decor was accommodating. Food was priced appropriately, being that it's seafood one should already expect to pay $$. Fortunately for anyone dining here you get your moneys worth! Serving size is abundant. They have a good variety on the menu- from appetizers to entrées and desserts and they also offer evening dinner specials, which were pretty amazing. Food Presentation was aesthetically appealing and the food was top notch. From ingredients to quality A+++ ‍ This is the type of food and service one would receive at a high end restaurant in New York City. No exaggeration. We also had 2 mojitos and they were not cheap on the liquor quality or serving size! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! Not something you would expect to find in Allentown PA. and you won't. Henrys Salt of the Sea is one of a kind around here. This place is a Gem!

Unique place. Service was very good and we appreciated not being rushed. Alcohol was fairly priced, so was the food unless it contained Lobester. We had 3 apps, 2 entrees, but nothing we had was notable, way too much butter for our taste. The Waitress took it upon herself to change both of our dishes from how we asked her to tell the kitchen we wanted then. She told us she did as she was serving them to us. That was a first.

This place deserves more than 5 stars. Food was amazing and the service was even better! We went out for my birthday and brought our 2 kids with. Joyce, our waitress was so accommodating with the kids! My the dinner so easy with them. Especially since our daughter is a picky eater! Appetizers, dinner and dessert was all top notch! At the end of the meal my 9 yo said how many stars do you give it. I said 5/5 and he said me too, it was great! I was amazed to hear him say that. It truly was the best dinner out my husband and I had in awhile. Food and service!

I should have reviewed this place years ago as it's an Allentown staple for seafood. The quality/freshness of the food is always great, friendly staff, has that cozy wharf kind of feel, and good cocktails. Overall you get a lot for your buck. I would suggest this to anybody who likes seafood.

Had broiled scallops last time here, which were good. Tonight I ordered one of tonight's specials, Rainbow Trout stuffed w crab. It was good although little fishy. Parmesan potatoes, green beans, caesar salad all good. Enjoyed onion soup bordeaux, as I did first time here; served hot as soup should be. Rolls and slice rye bread w butter okay. Waitress took good care of us. Kitchen is behind the bar, so restaurant is warm and cozy when you come in on cold winter night. Look forward to next visit.

Upon knowing a few days ago that we'll be doing a quick getaway from NYC to Allentown to visit some family, I already started looking up the best restaurants in town and this was clearly a consistent favorite so I knew we had to excuse ourselves for a date night escape from the family. This was last night. Our hotel was a $20 Uber ride going there and $45 ride going back. Yep we spent that much alone on the transportation, that's how much we wanted to try the place. Reservations were easy. We were given a table at 8:30, welcomed warmly, noticed how all the wait staff were strictly in masks and also only allows customers wearing masks, a good sign during this new normal. Kendall was our server and she was friendly and had a great energy. Thanks, Kendall! Placed our drinks ( a glass of Cabernet & Sauvignon Blanc each) and some warm bread with butter were served. So good. We had the fried calamari for starters, which was just okay, it wasn't as crispy and was a little soggy and felt it lacked a bit of salt. Tasted the house salad to try the homemade bleu cheese that everyone's been raving about. Delicious. I got the Broiled Seafood combination which was Lobster, Scallops, Sole Filet, Crab Stuffed Shrimp & Clams Casino with brown butter on the side. I really wanted to love this and I wish I was raving about it but for $40 per order, this felt lacking for me. I'm a seafood person and sadly, nothing stood out to me on this plate. My husband got the Fruits de Mers which is Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops and Crabmeat served in a Creamy Garlic Sauce over Linguine for $40. This was really good and thankfully made up for it, though I really wish I had a better meal, especially because we spent $65 for the Uber ride alone. It was honestly all the reviews that pulled me in. I do realize how the Chef and the staff are working so very hard especially during this time so I give them full credit and still giving 4 stars. Could have been an off night for my broiled seafood plate. Thanks, guys!

I took a chance once again and hit a Diamond in the Rough. I decided to go to this establishment and even my kids were impressed. The service was top notch and the food was delish!! We had everything from Pasta to Escargot. The server remember us from her old job and even remembered that my daughter has Celiac disease. The steak was tender, lobster was tasty and the food was just perfect. Wife ordered some lamb chop dish, she said it was delish. The cold lump crab meat was a fave across the table. Cant wait to go back!

This is my favorite restaurant in the area! The seafood, steaks, and desserts are by far the best of any restaurant I have been too. I long to come back and try more of their menu items. Their servers are friendly and helpful with menu selections. The ambiance is that of a comfortable place to relax and enjoy an unhurried meal. Everything I have tried on the menu has been wonderful. I recommend reservations. This place is so popular. Even if you don't live close by, it is well worth the drive.

How have I not written a review yet for one of my top two favorite restaurants in the world (and definitely #1 in PA)?! That's right, this restaurant is one of my all time favorites and tops my list. I am drooling right now thinking of all the delicious food I've consumed from Henry's over the years. I usually come here for the seafood, but I've also ordered the chicken and steak and have never been disappointed. I normally go for the broiled seafood combo so that I get a little bit of everything. The combo includes a lobster tail, clams casino, stuffed shrimp and scallops. The brown butter served with the lobster tail is delicious! The french onion soup is also to-die-for. Did I mention my favorite part?! They have the greatest salad bar ever. It's old school, has different salads to choose from, bacon bits, egg, cheese... all the good stuff. The blue cheese dressing is out of control... best I ever had type of OOC. Henry's old school vibe makes for such a great experience. The staff make the experience. It's small inside so I'd definitely recommend making reservations. The service is pretty old school as well and while I admire that "this place hasn't changed, including service.. it would be nice for the waitress to give separate checks. It's really not a hard thing to do, but they refuse to do it every time we go... so then I waste time getting my calculator out and figuring out what each person owes, this annoys me. *end rant* Since I don't live in Pennsylvania any more, I get some serious FOMO when my sisters plan a sisters dinner at Henry's (sisters dinner? yeah that's a thing in my house). I've actually looked into booking a flight home JUST to meet them for dinner at Henry's.. not even to hang out with them (don't tell them that part though). I can't wait to visit my Henry's again next time I'm in town! Also, can you open up a restaurant in Tampa so I can eat there every day? K, Thx, Bye!

Called in a few days ago and Had dinner reservations for 4/22/23 for a party of 6. After not getting a confirmation today, we called in only to be told that someone erased our reservation and put someone else in our place! Nobody seems to know how or why.... And now we are without anything. Not sure how the food is but after seeing how badly they screwed up our dinner reservations I'm not sure they are worth another try!
