Henry's Restaurant (Campus Area, Durant Avenue)
Durant Hotel
Restaurant review
Basic info:
Kind of pub grub as part of a hotel setting in Berkeley. Joie de Vivre hotel chain.
This place has always been iffy. Kind of a dice roll when you go there and I knew they had a new chef so I wanted to see what was going on here. We had an occasion for a group lunch, student leaving so we thought we would try this place. It is nicely situated in the hotel and I really like the decor and tile floor. Chairs are comfy.
Well, I really wish I had not. My burger tasted like a piece of tasteless wood and it totally fell apart. Not good. I did enjoy the fries with sea salt and the little pot of ketchup that came with them. That was cute. But the mainstay of my meal was not good. I also found that there menu was not very interesting. Not much to choose from and not much variety. Berkeley is a foodie kind of town and so our choice will not be this place as there was not much to draw me back there.
Thumbs down here. Also, too expensive for what we got.

PS - I am going to add previews and trailers to my culture vulture posts and count those. I need more posts and think those count. I will do commentary with those.
