Harp & Crown

My husband and I decided to come here yesterday for a last minute night out and we have 2 complaints - 1. The menu on their website reads as if they have gluten free pasta and pizza options because both sections are not marked with the “cannot be made GF” asterisk. I am gluten free so this was a let down. I definitely recommend management update the website to be more clear. 2. Our cocktails were bad. We each had one of the signature cocktails and felt like they were unusually sweet. We then got 2 dirty martinis and they were very bad. We had asked the waitress if they were served in chilled glasses and she said yes but that was not true. The martinis we received were warm and not dirty. Could barely drink them. Our food was tasty and the service was good so I hope next time is better on the cocktail front!

We had an incredible experience at Harp & Crown on a Friday night. We initially called for reservations and the person on the other end of the phone was very kind and patient, willing to help us get a reservation that fit our desired times. The ambience and vibe inside is stunning. Our server, Tara, was absolutely outstanding and their vibe was incredible. They were knowledgeable about the menu, helping guide our options and ensure we had enough food. They were knowledgeable about gluten free options which was a huge plus. Drinks were delicious, but small. We got two espresso martinis that were delicious but definitely relatively small. For the time and place, it was honestly perfect for our outing. The food was outstanding. We started with the burrata which had so many favors that complimented each other between the sourdough, leeks, and walnuts. Tara even brought us out more bread to finish up our burrata. I got the grilled squid and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprout serving size was very large and I brought half home. The grilled squid looks small at first but it is easy to underestimate the denseness of the squid. It was filling and appetizing. It was truly perfect. My friends split a mushroom pie and mac and cheese. For dessert, my friends split the cosmic brownie sundae and we all split the crème brûlée. Everything was perfect. Overall, we left saying over and over how happy we are that we ended up there. It was perfect for a quick girls night out. We only had one compliment of the entire night… Upon being dropped off by the uber, the sign for the restaurant is NON-EXISTENT. We walked up and down the street confused at the storefront looks like an abandoned place aside from a small, brass sign to the right of the door. If you are not actively looking for the sign, it’s impossible to see. That may be something to be reconsidered for those who have impaired vision or just to get some more attention to the restaurant itself. The sign is pictured for reference for those looking to come to the restaurant. This is a very small thing to look past for a great night out!

Be careful if you require a gluten free meal. We noted it on the reservation, talked to the server, got a marked up menu, and requested that they advise the kitchen about the GF ask. I ordered a salad and it came with croutons buried in it. If you have celiac disease, I would avoid this restaurant.
