    The place is quaint, and the service is great. Food is a bit overpriced for non-fresh seafood (a can of octopus for $24 seems a bit outrageous). Wine is really good. The real bummer really is the ambiance. For a wine bar, playing LOUD hip-hop at 5pm seems like the most anti-social mood ever. They seriously need to do some revamp of their playlists for the place to set up the nice mellow and cool vibe they aspire to have. Having said that, service was pristine, and we were happy to support a local business.

    5/26/2023 Ethan was great server and friendly. The wines were expertly described and the experience was fun. We had great conversation at the bar. It's a small place with big heart. I really enjoyed this.

    Super upbeat wine bar concept with a tiny kitchen and a bunch of excellent staff. Sat at the bar which is also the kitchen. Bartender was awesome. She recommended wines to pair and honestly made the whole experience really enjoyable. We had charcuterie and pan con tomate to start, paired with white wines. Both dishes were very good. Great flavor with a nice Spanish flair. For the main, my wife stayed with white and I moved to red. We had seared tuna and pumpkin risotto with scallops. Both very good. Risotto had more of a lemon flavor than pumpkin but good nonetheless. Finished with bread pudding. Absolutely outstanding. Fun place with a great vibe and energy. Highly recommend.

    This place is AMAZING. I will recommend this to anyone who likes wine and is in Boston. We will be coming back here. Food/Drinks: I didn't have any food but their wine selection was so diverse and they will give you recommendations if you are new to the wine world. Service: The waitress we had was so nice and gave some good wine recommendations. Atmosphere: I loved the atmosphere, they have inside and outside seating.

    Wine bar in downtown. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable It a tapas and wine place. Good for after work meet up with friends. It’s a cozy little place with indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the Malibran Rose a dry crisp rose as well as well as a Riccitelli Malbec fruity and a more full-bodied red. For tapas we had deviled eggs, beef sliders, cavatelli and steak tartare.

    We were here on Valentine’s Day, and it was a really nice experience. All the staff are extremely busy, but they did try their best to service. I love the idea of ordering half a bottle of wine. We can try out a few more drinks without getting too tipsy. Food was ok, they don’t have a big kitchen as it is a wine bar.

    We took a shot on the Feast of Seven Fishes. Everything was very tasty but definitely left hungry. There is a nice wine selection and the service was friendly. It’s an interesting place, just eat before you go!

  • 2/5 Andrew L. 2 years ago on Google
    The decor is nice but the food is mediocre, the music is blaring and tasteless, and most of all it's outrageously overpriced. 22 dollars for meat and cheese plate that was 75% bread and 10% meat and cheese. Nearly 20 dollars for (albeit premium) tinned fish. As a former food service worker, I was also surprised to see staff on phones rather than taking orders. At this price point, I'd expect an excellent service and dining experience. I got neither. This place is fine for some quick drinks and tapas but don't dine here for dinner. It's a waste of money and time.

    What a great find tucked away on Province street in Boston! We made the comment several times throughout the evening we felt we were at a nicer ‘Cheers’. Great local wine bar everyone knew each other which created a warm, intimate, fun evening. Haley Fortier the owner of Haley.Henry has done a terrific job finding lovely boutique natural organic wines from all over the world and pairing them with lovely dishes. Many items on the menu are tapas style plates allowing you to taste and pair. Although I’m a California Cab kind of gal, we thoroughly enjoyed an educational evening learning about wines I’ve never heard of and their wine making process. Big thumbs up and we’ll definitely be back !!!!

    Had a fabulous evening here! Staff were experts, recommending us wines to try based on our taste, and what wines! So interesting and complex. If you love wine, I cannot recommend this place enough. Offbeat, lively and welcoming. Would love to come back with friends, just a shame we’re on vacation!

  • 5/5 Kasey B. 1 year ago on Google
    At around 10PM or so, I was looking to get out of my hotel room. I had already eaten dinner and was looking for a lowkey place where I could hang out and read a book. Haley.henry was the perfect place. When I got there, the place was packed inside. The staff sat me quickly even though it was packed. I sat outside and got a half bottle of wine and the mix and match charcuterie board. If I had more room in my stomach, I would have definitely tried the tinned fish which seems to be one of their specialities. Would recommend!

    So much potential. Which makes having two frustrating visits a bummer. No wine descriptions on the menu, a choice I suppose, though I’ve worked in a few wine bars and find this an annoying choice. The window bar top and regular bar top both have slats filled with a rubbery/gummy caulk (?) between them, making it impossible to swirl a glass. This sounds snooty, but it’s a wine bar?!?! A good selection of tinned fish and definitely a romantic vibe.

  • 5/5 Monica W. 1 year ago on Google
    My maid of honor came here after one of my wedding dress fittings. The wine selection was impeccable, the food was divine, and our server (I wish I could remember his name!) was outstanding. Apparently there are also hotdogs on Wednesdays. I texted my fiancé in the middle of it all to tell him we needed to visit. 10/10 highly recommend

    Great cozy place to visit on a Friday night. Right beside the orange T line. Not an extensive dinner menu, but light on tummy and good wine. Amazing service as well. must try: tomato soup (very flavorful)

  • 5/5 Harmony B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing wine cafè! Inconspicuous spot but that’s part of why it’s awesome! Delicious wine all around. Can’t wait to return!

  • 5/5 Stephanie H. 1 year ago on Google
    We love HH! The best vibes, natural wine, and food. Get the deviled eggs and beef sliders! 🙌🏽 Thank you to Camden for a wonderful evening and fantastic service! 🥂

  • 5/5 Shawn B. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place for a date or as a quick detour from the Freedom Trail. I went there with my partner and friends, and we shared a couple of half bottles of wine. We got two different "orange" wines that were really fantastic. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, walking us through the wine offerings and all the current specials. I would go back in a heartbeat if visiting the Boston area again.

  • 5/5 Dennis C. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun natural wine bar that opened my eyes up to different styles of wine making that I'm not used to. The sommeliers were patient and informative in sharing their wine knowledge which we greatly appreciated. Food was simple but expertly cooked. Loved the dim ambiance and killer hip hop soundtrack. Would come again, just to miserably fail at my blind tasting a second time.

  • 3/5 Gabriel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is tasty and wine is great. However if you have too much money and are not Hungry, this is your spot. Over priced for such tiny portions. Got 2 glasses of orange wine, which was great. (Orange wine is not made from oranges). The sliders were TINY as was the salmon crudo. Came out to $80 which is a bit much to still be starving afterwards. Service was great. The real downfall is the portions.

  • 3/5 Jon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Second time here. Consistent plus: good food and service. Downsides: poor value and the stools are absolutely horrible. Please replace them.

  • 5/5 Josh M. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m a Boston transplant recently arriving from Philadelphia, which is an amazing food town. This restaurant renewed my optimism about Boston restaurants after trying a few underwhelming spots. The staff was super friendly, and everything we ate — tinned mackerel and lobster pâté, and heirloom tomatoes and a pasta dish — was scrumptious. I will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Denise Smithson G. 2 years ago on Google
    Chef Katt killed it tonight. As a newbie to tinned fish, the presentation and instruction were spot on and the taste delicious! Ending the eve with my favorite dessert (Panna Cotta) and watching Chef Katt take care to pick the perfect leaves for garnish we’re truly the perfect end to a perfect eve. Thank you for a great way to celebrate 10 years of marriage!

    Canned fish is underrated. This was delicious.

  • 4/5 Yuliya S. 2 years ago on Google
    Well-selected wine list (they do have several orange wines, including Rkatseteli from Georgia) and great appetizers (we picked up cheese and charcuterie board and it was great). The only thing that confuses a bit (though I think it's common for Boston) - the bar was empty when we showed up (and when were leaving), but they have not allowed us to took the table / place we wanted ("it's all reserved, sorry") - even though we said we just stopped by for a drink ‍

  • 4/5 Alex Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Worthy of five stars if you know what you're getting into. Their wine and food selection is eclectic. Wine pairings make perfect sense here. Their staff is friendly, and they're all very knowledgeable about wine. Small operation. Place is cosy. Will have to return another time.

  • 5/5 Clint C. 2 years ago on Google
    We had such a lovely evening here! The wine selection is so incredible, and they allow you to do half bottles of anything on the list. We love trying new wines, and there is so much to choose from. The food is also amazing. We had a number of dishes, but the radishes deserve an award. I’ve never been a fan of them, but they were so so tasty. Last but most certainly not least, the staff are so friendly and informative. 10/10 across the board. Just make sure you make a reservation well in advance because they were packed.
