Came here for the st paddy's day special. The prime rib slider was out of this world, rosemary bread really brought the French dip to new levels. Steve the bartender who helped us was the awesome. Definitely made our experience 10/10
Came here for my moms birthday along with 13 other people. I appreciated the staff letting me change my reservation number last minute with no issue. WOW, all I will say is this place is busy on a Sunday! So many birthdays, celebrations, and a dj was playing in the front where people was dancing. The brunch menu was great where you can order brunch or lunch. French toast bites for an appetizer were delicious. Jesse the waiter was SOO nice, friendly, and very attentive. The restaurant let us bring in cake and cut it for us which I thought was super nice. Tips for your next visit: -make a reservation early -park in the back for free parking on Sundays -request Jesse as your waiter -if you don't want to be too close to the DJ on Sunday, tell them/check the schedule online.
Ambiance Decor Service thanks ty Food ehhhhhh The bread was delicous ! Do not skip it! Baked clams app - overcooked, fishy, not seasoned well Lobster pasta- noodles over cooked extremely soft made the dish soupy Tuna poke bowl- delicous Cocktails delicious -The VIP - The blackberry lavender gin cocktail Price point You're going to spend a pretty penny here. Would like to come back to try the brunch menu ...otherwise maybe just cocktails at the bar. I'm not a steak person so I can't give a fair review on the steak menu. I know they also have live music so would like to enjoy that. Update: I have been back a few times just for drinks. Great bar area !
What was supposed to be a quick stop before heading to a lounge in Brooklyn turned into a two hour detour filled with rum, Guinness, and endless espresso martinis; curtesy to the youngin sitting next to me, very determined to get everyone at the bar more than a little tipsy. The bartender was super cool and engaging, creating a great vibe that had everyone enjoying each other's company. The drinks were strong but deceptively smooth--they definitely sneak up on you! I was even talked into trying a slice of cheesecake, which was absolutely on point. I'll definitely be back, this time to dine and explore more of the desserts.
11/10/24. It was brunch time so there was a crowd and a dj. The music was very loud, but it was great music (80s-2000s pop). Everyone, well mostly women, seemed to be having a great time. Holly, the bartender, greeted us. We didn't eat, but enjoyed the drinks she made.
Ate here few times. Went to the bar this time and the bartender was engaging. Service was good. Loved the ambiance and the decor. The place is bigger than it appears. My issue is that they close early at 10pm & 11pm.
First experience at Harley's! Overall very pleased. We started with the crispy artichoke salad, which we really enjoyed - also, we told them we were splitting and they brought it in two bowls, which is always appreciated! I had the branzino and dad had the boneless strip. I thought the branzino was wonderful and light, he enjoyed his steak but thought the cut was too fatty (I agree). Mashed potatoes were fab! Service was wonderful, attentive, thoughtful, friendly. Vibes in restaurant are nice - modern and upscale. Would return! PS - The bread they bring to the table is fabulous and they have mocktails on the menu, which I always love.
I had the pleasure of checking out Harleys on a Saturday night. We went around 8, which was towards the end of the dinner rush. We were seated right away and the waitstaff were kind and attentive. We ordered cocktails - I tried the Hot Honey Peach Margarita which was yummy and not at all spicy. We split their classic calamari which was as to be expected, and cooked to perfection. The star of the show though was my main entree which was their Braised Short Ribs with Korean barbecue, scallion slaw and kimchi mashed potatoes. The dish was excellent, it had a nice kick without being too spicy and I'm still dreaming about the potatoes. The only thing I'd take maybe half a star off for was, we were sat behind the bar, and the ambience was as to be expected on a Saturday night. The only thing that was a bit annoying but not a dealbreaker was there were some gnats flying around, which is to be expected during the summer but my guess is they were attracted to the sweetness of the liquor at the bar next to us - but again, far from ruining the great experience. I look forward to coming back!
