Some imports to Los Angeles take a more humble approach when entering their new environs. Not The Henry, a Phoenix concept from Sam Fox and Fox Restaurant Concepts that recently landed in West Hollywood. They came up with a tagline that they clearly intended to turn heads: “The Greatest Neighborhood Restaurant.” It’s possible to read this motto many ways. Is The Henry simply a restaurant in the “greatest neighborhood” or the pinnacle of neighborhood dining? Either way, modesty isn’t on the menu.

This restaurant, which occupies prime real estate in retooled Robertson Plaza, could easily become a commissary for the trendy shopping corridor. The Henry’s inviting space features a wraparound patio, handsome dining room, and L-shaped bar with high-top tables. A bakery and coffee bar by the door provides both caffeinated and pastry enticements. Food spans an eclectic “American” spectrum.

Hank’s Homemade Sparkling Teas & Sodas ($5) don’t call for a detour, but are worth ordering if you’re already at The Henry. They also come in handy if you’re in the neighborhood on a hot day. I enjoyed a crisp, refreshing blend of English cucumber, mint, and lime. I’ve also seen tart grapefruit and yuzu soda and sweeter strawberry and mandarin soda on the menu.
