Became aware of this place due to their participation in Devour Indy, with an exceptionally reasonable deal including an appetizer or dessert, 2 salads, and 2 entrees for $50. In looking them up, I discovered they renovated a former bank. Also learned that they had only been open for around a month, which made me a tad nervous as we had visited a couple of new-ish restaurants in the past during Devour that were a tad rocky experiences (and also lead to one of my very 1st Yelp contributions).
To access one of the 18 or so spots within their on-site parking (pretty nice perk for downtown), you need to approach the restaurant from the south on Delaware. Also if you wish to exit to North Street, you may have to navigate around a vehicle using the ATM still in operation from the previous tenant.
The host stand was not easily evident to me, but it was just to the right after you walk in. They promptly seated us in a space on the west-side of the building semi-separated from the main-room by vertical slats. Our table included part booth and 2 chairs, although it was a little awkwardly tight to a table of 4 just northwest of us. Our server, Hope, was prompt, courteous, and personable, as were the runner and busser.
My wife ordered their Ash & Elm's Fleeting Youth Draft ($5) while I chose the Founders Porter Draft ($6), which we both very much enjoyed.
For an appetizer, we shared the Four Cheese MezzaLuna ($12). It is described as fried ravioli stuffed with 4 cheeses (mozzarella, provolone, asiago, parmesan) that comes as an order of 5 on top of greens and served with house marinara. The marinara is good and the cheese combination is absolutely amazing, but my wife described the ravioli shell as a very thin cracker and on its own would prevent our ordering the dish again.
We each selected the House Salad ($12). It was a decent sized plate filled with spring mix tossed in Italian dressing with red onion, cucumber, tomato, croutons, and shaved asiago. It was well composed and I would order it again.
For entrees, my wife chose Grilled Salmon ($29) and I chose Chicken Piccata ($25). Her salmon was finished with a creamy Italian chive sauce and came with broccoli. Although the varying sizes of the broccoli caused some of them to be less fully cooked than others, she said she would order it again. My chicken was tender and juicy served over linguine. It was fine, although I personally prefer a little more lemon flavor.
Overall, it was a pretty good experience in service and food at very reasonable prices. Not sure it's one of our favorites based on this visit, but would definitely be open to returning. Perhaps a different spot in the restaurant, like their outdoor patio space, or if we would have ordered a couple of different items, like the Crispy Parmesan Garlic Brussels Sprouts ($12) or Judy's Lasagna ($22), would have made more...
Read moreAfter a weekend of board gaming and food trucks, Harrison's was exactly what we needed. We were looking for an upscale dining experience with good food and drinks and that is what we found. Our token vegetarian was not present for this, but she should have been because almost everything that we ordered was vegetarian and delicious. I consider myself to be a Brussels sprouts connoisseur. If there are Brussels on the menu, I'm ordering them. I can say with confidence that this is the best Brussels sprouts that I have had in the state and maybe in any state. Perfectly crisp and perfectly seasoned. Not too salty. Not too mushy. Not drowning in a sticky sauce. They were perfect. Great job. The creamed corn was outstanding as well which is to be expected with Indiana sweet corn, but with out of state guests visiting, they were extraordinarily please with the dish as apparently "Michigan lacks good corn." The chocolate spoon cake was the big surprise for me. 2 of us at the table don't typically care for cake and I dislike super rich chocolate desserts. Not sure why, but this is what caught my eye. It wasn't quite was I expected when it was brought out. It appeared to be a typical chocolate layer cake, but it was unique. It was almost a hybrid cake. The frosting wasn't super sweet and rich like buttercream, but not as creamy and mild as a pudding/custard. It was a perfect balance. And the cake wasn't too cakey. It was a well balanced dessert that we wasted no time in finishing. We also tried several other dishes such as the flatbread which was very fresh and flavorful, the raviolis, mussels, and filet. Service was more than excellent, atmosphere was excellent, food and drinks were excellent, and we couldnt have asked for more perfect weather. Thank you for a perfect end to a fun and tiring weekend. We will return with...
