The overall theme of this review is the story of a restaurant trying but truly failing to be FAR more than they actually are. Location: It’s a strip mall, and not a nice one. Service: Wait staff is adequate, but nothing great. Valet parking at a strip mall feels a little pretentious and excessive. Greeting you at the door you have either a kid that looks about 17 without a clue who happened to be too busy checking Instagram to even notice that I’d walked in, or you have the young lady with the “please notice how hip, trendy, and individualistic I am” vibe. Neither seemed to actually have any particular skill at their job, and generally fumbled through the interaction. Menu: Once again, trying too hard to imitate their idea of a fine restaurant, but failing to execute an actual clear vision. Hey, if you’d like to see whatever random ingredients they think are trending at the moment slapped together, then you’ve found your restaurant. Food: Trendy ingredients used for the sake of using them. Execution, concept, and flavors lacking. Depending on what you order, you may find a top of the line ingredient sitting next to something that clearly came from a package. Gnocchi were inedible for example, which is a shame because the sauce was actually fairly good. Overall: Just not good. Is it truly terrible, no. Is it in any way good, no. Are they under the mistaken impression that they are a top tier restaurant, I’m sure they expect their first star any day now. If it were some random chain restaurant meal I’d say down for, they would have met expectations. Congratulations, you’re on-par with a Bonefish Grill…sadly probably not what you were hoping for though
We were in from NJ and our Friends bragged about this wonderful place. Trust me it was not disappointing. Exceed expectations. I had the Veal chop which was amazing, cooked to perfection!! All the others meals were alo great
Incredible service and outstanding food. My husband said it was the best Salmon he has every had. My scallops were perfect. The cream of mushrooms soup exceptional. We sat at the bar...what a treat. Great interaction with all the wonderful staff. Topped it off with the Smore cheese cake...yum! Harold's a must...you won't be disappointed!
