Henrys Salt of the Sea - Allentown (PA)

5 /5 Dylan Foster: I enjoyed the seafood more than I ever expected; it was truly stunning. The staff were warm, kind, and always ready to help. The place is small, so it can get tight, and at times guests had to squeeze past my table. Still, the dishes were so wonderful that every moment felt worth it.

5 /5 Just Witty: 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.

5 /5 Jennylyn Escritor: Ordered the haddock and loved it, it was so flavorful and reasonably priced. Staff were very attention and friendly as well. The roasted potatoes were one of the best side dishes I’ve ever had as well. I’m giving a 4-star rating because the green bean vegetable dish was bland and flavorless. I would recommending adding some salt or roasting them as well. Would definitely come back.

5 /5 Karen Johnson-Susko: Ive heard a ton about Henrys and now I know why! Took Mom for a birthday dinner. They were so accommodating to squeeze an additional guest in last minute! The cocktails....wow. my pomegrate martini was top notch. The food was phenomenal. All of it. I had the Caesar salad (salad is included with all meals), broiled seafood platter (the scallops were perfection....the best I have ever eaten) and tiramisu. Get the broiled seafood platter trust me (lobster, clams casino, crab imperial stuffed shrimp, scallops, sole in brown butter with green beans and a baked potato. Holy yum! Just go...but leave a seat for me!

5 /5 Crash Palace: 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 Hendricks gin and basal martinis were refreshing while my girlfriend loved her pumpkin martinis. It was like liquid pumpkin pie. We couldnt fit dessert but we took a limoncello ice cream treat to go, which was tangy and refreshing. We cannot wait to return!
