Just finished up our trip to Brooklyn. For our “nice” night out we ended up at Henry’s End. We also went to Junior’s because tourists, and Forno Rosso.
Juniors is what would happen if the Marquette Inn and Dinkles had a baby. A large baby. That brings beets and pickles and slaw to your table gratis. I had the Matzo Ball soup and the pastrami sandwich. Both were quite good and I would be happy to go back but I would not make it a destination.

Forno Rosso is a wood oven pizza joint. We had a fish special and the roasted chicken. The service was terrific and I suspect the pizza is good but man oh man was the chicken garlicy. I almost never say that but my stomach hurt all night.

Henry’s End is in a short three-to-four block restaurant row leading up to the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s dark and bustling. I think it’s kind of a can’t miss. While the food is not relevatory it was very good. We had the sole and andouille & chicken dishes. I would have them again without question. The wine list was also very good. This really fills a niche -very good food that is neither pretentious or dull. No fireworks but a nice sophisticated meal.
