This is a nice place for a date or a girls night. It’s more of a vibe focused place where you will spend more, so just keep that in mind versus a sit down date night kind of place. You will probably order two meals due to sizes. The only dish large enough was the chicken. For me personally the variety wasn’t enough, and not a lot of healthy options. However everyone at my table enjoyed it. We did a bday plate and it was a little lack luster but if you are focused on the surprise and not the actual sweet treat it’s fine. The drinks were good! This is on a VERY busy street so you will either park a bit away and walk or Uber. It’s located near a lot of bars and other spots too. Inside is super cute but bustly (again not a dinner sit done vibe). You will need reservations. The staff was VERY accommodating to us being late due to traffic, just call the and they will try to work with you. If you have a larger party they will try to make it one check, so you need to tell them immediately that you will split it (they seen a little frustrated we didn’t tell them).
Celebrated my birthday there and everything was amazing! Our server, Bryan, was absolutely wonderful! He was knowledgeable about the menu, so personable and went the extra mile to provide an exceptional experience for us! We had the cheesesteak egg rolls and fig & ricotta toast to start and I had the steak frites for my entree along with the Japanese sweet potato! Everything was delicious!
We had a wonderful visit at the harp and enjoyed the tasting menu, each course was full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The vibes were fab and our server Kyle was very friendly and attentive. The food was so fresh and portioned out at just the right amount. Our only note is that if you have a 4pm reservation they won’t let you arrive early, so be sure you get there no earlier !
Harp & Crown has a brunch buffet on the weekends at $38 per person. It was unfortunately a miss for our group. I do want to say that I enjoy their happy hour and downstairs bar a lot - this review is on the brunch. $38 per person felt steep, especially for the quality of food and zero alcohol included. We got espresso martinis, which were a little too bitter for our taste. We got a lot of different plates and things to try. Nothing stood out as good, everything was room temperature if not cold. The fried chicken was so dried out, nothing about it was juicy. It was pretty disappointing. The service was exceptional. We came for a birthday brunch and Kyle went above and beyond for us. I love the ambiance and especially the bar downstairs. I just wouldn’t recommend coming for the brunch.
We had such a lovely evening at Harp & Crown! From the moment we walked in, the cozy yet stylish vibe set the tone for a great meal. Our server was amazing — super friendly and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the menu. He suggested a few dishes, and we decided to go with his recommendations. From the small plates, we tried the pierogi, which was pretty good. However, the real showstopper was the pork spare ribs — hands down the best dish of the night! The meat was tender, packed with flavor, and had just the right amount of glaze. We also had the garlic prawns and chicken dumplings, both of which were delicious — perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The food wasn’t the only highlight, though. The ambiance was amazing and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. It’s one of those places that makes you want to stay a little longer just to soak it all in. Overall, Harp & Crown really delivered on great food, great service, and great vibes. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu next time!
