John Henry's

I have had many meals at John Henry's since the mid-1990's, and virtually all of them have been fabulous. Even their experimental fare, which they test on us regulars at special wine dinners, is usually wonderful. We're very lucky to have this cailbre of establishment in our neighborhood. And it's really great to actually know the owner and staff...there's a lot to be said for valuing customer loyalty. Their lobster bisque is especially wonderful... Pros: Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. Cons: I always leave too full... more

I was a little unsure about trying John Henry's after reading the previous review, but I'm glad I didn't let that person sway me. The food is very good, great portions and good prices. Giovanni was our server and he was EXCELLENT!!! Five Star service all the way!!! I recommend this establishment, you won't be disappointed! more

There's something going on with these reviews. I have a feeling they were written by the owner or someone with an interest in this place. I flew in from out of town the other day to visit family and my mother and I were in the area so we stopped by to get a drink and a bite to eat. Pros: Strong Drinks to drown out everything else... Cons: Service, Food, Ambience more

John Henry's is a great restaurant to go to for casual elegance without the premium you have to pay at many of the restaurants in Scottsdale. The menu is excellent - steaks especially - and the service is attentive and accommodating. You won't be disappointed if you are looking to take the in-laws out for a nice dinner or to meet up with friends in the bar. Pros: Atmosphere and food more

Great Place to go for dinner or drinks. Great Atmosphere. friendly and prompt service. Definitely a ""go to"" place. Pros: Service more

I have to say that John Henry's has got to be one of the finer places to eat at in Tempe. The food is great and the service is awesome. At first, from a glance inside I was thinking that I was a bit under dressed and I probably was, however, that didn't stop the staff there from treating me just as good as the guy 2 tables over that had on a 3 piece suite. I've been there several times now and it still impresses me, especially when the chef surprises the patrons with those daily specials. Speaking of the chef, this isn't something that you see often but he comes out and actually walks around and talks to the patrons which I REALLY think is cool. Pros: Food, Staff, Ambience, quality Cons: Bread is just ok. more

This place is awesome!! We were greeted at the door, which was held open for us. We were seated promptly. When we told our server that we were foodies and interested in something unusual he actually had one of the chefs come out, Sean, who introduced himself and talked us through our meal. We had a great oyster rockefeller and crab cakes for appetizer, lobster bisque and a grilled salad with chipotle dressing for salad course and Sean put together a special combination of Mahi Mahi and Lamb Chops. Out of this world! I can't remember a better meal. Live entertainment started about 7:30 and was a very nice addition to the atmosphere. The service was prompt and courteous and very cute! He suggested some very nice wine matches to accompany our meal. Management bade us farewell at the door. This is my new regular place--cant reccomend it more.--Jodi S. Pros: Food, Service, Entertainment more

Overated dining. The food was geasy and not worth the price. Waiters are good, bartenders offensive and not a nice place to socialize. I found the menu was upscale priced but the restaruant was less than adequate. Bathrooms dirty. Over hyped computer rating. I found it a bit sleezy. Pros: Location, Vine next door Cons: bad drinks, smells more

We accidently ran into this establishment and decided to go in and give it a try. Boy are we glad we did!! The service was excellent, service you would expect from ""The Top of the Rock"" but get at ""Macaroni Grill"" prices!!! Waiters in tuxedos. Wide variety of appetizers and entrees, a friendly bar and entertainment. Must try!! Pros: Great food, Value, friendly more

This stand alone building had plenty of space, so there was no wait when we just showed up. The waiters are in tuxes, but the service could've been better. My wife's glass of wine came so late in the meal i thought she just wasn't going to get it at all. Then she had to chug it before we left. The place looks like a $20+ per person type of place, but the prices were more like 10-15 per plate. So it's a pretty good deal for the value. But you come back for the food. The alfredo cream sauce was a little to rich from my taste. There were a lot of items on the menu. If your looking for some upscale italian without going overboard give it a try. Pros: no wait, reasonably priced Cons: service was slow more
