BYWATER— Ann Maloney reports on what to expect at newly opened Cafe Henri: "Don't look for a theme here. The menu is comfortingly familiar, offering seafood, meat and vegetarian options, in simple, generous portions, such as the thick juicy burger, steak frites, lasagna, wedge salads and Johnny Cakes."
