Consistency. Not all places can boast having consistency. Although, I suppose in chain restaurants you can find consistently mediocre food. If you like microwaved, pre-prepared food. Myself? I prefer the small restauranteur type establishment. I like knowing that the owner has his finger on the pulse of his restaurant, that they care about what's served. I also appreciate staff consistency.... More

This was the best meal we had on our trip. We started out with an appetizer of Oysters Maryland, lump crab on an oyster covered with a sauce ( not sure what kind of sauce it was but it was delicious). We then had for our entrees Chilean Sea Bass covered with lump crab meat, mushrooms, green onions, and tomatoes... More

If you want an excellent seafood dinner in a small, locally owned restaurant in the Allentown area, then it would be hard to beat Henry's Salt of the Sea on Allen Street, just a block off the "theater district." I have had the pleasure of eating there with dear friends and family on 6 occasions now and can honestly say... More

I only get to Henry's a few times a year but love it! The atmosphere is dated but I think that adds to the charm. We like to have dinner at the bar where you get a lot of attention as well as a great drink. . Youells Oyster House in Allentown is another Oldie but goodie located in the... More

My husband and I eat at Henry's Salt of the Sea often. Service, food, and atmosphere are all excellent. We have never had a bad meal here in the many years that it has been our favorite restaurant. The only problem with this restaurant is that sometimes, especially on weekends, they are booked up. We are not their only fans,... More

I still don't have words to describe the dining experience I had in the middle of Allentown PA ( yeah I didn't know before yesterday either). Phenomenal food made to order, served piping hot, immediately from the fire. Seafood specials... Great bar selections ( and Frank the bartender).... CALL AHEAD!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!

We want to eat here more, but we forget to make reservations. Finally went back, and enjoyed three wonderful courses. We asked about New Years Eve reservations, and were told they were booked as of the previous New Years Eve. In my opinion the limited seating makes it easy for the chefs to do everything right. Favorite of the night... More

Let me start by saying that I was at Henry's about 15 years ago and really thought it was ok, hence why I didn't go back for 15 years. Well, I met up with a friend and his spouse and sat at the bar. The bartender was great, very attentive and timely. He had went over the specials with us... More
