 The owner was Paul O'Connell, who still owns Chez Henri, between Harvard
 &
 Porter squares in Cambridge. He decided that running 2 restaurants was
 leaving him too little time for his family (he has two young kids.)

 Chez Henri is somewhat more casual than Providence and boasts French and
 Cuban
 influences in it's food. I liked Providence quite a bit, but I think
 Chez
 Henri is even better.

 For a real deal sit in the bar and have a Cuban Sandwich or conch
 fritters.
