Harper's — Restaurant in Town of Greenburgh

Arrived on Mother's Day to find the brunch menu had been doubled (in price). Okay, special day special brunch maybe? Nope. Menu was reduced from the normal and doubled plus 5. For that I received "trout dip" which was smeared on one piece of small burnt toast, a dry chicken thigh sandwich that was not seasoned, and two mini prepackaged cannoli's. My partner's 65 dollar piece of french toast was inedible because it was only cooked on one side.

We didn't really get the opportunity to talk to anyone because they were obviously understaffed. The whole dining room seemed to have trouble flagging someone down. Food was getting sent back. In retrospect it makes sense when someone other than our waitress dropped off our food and apologized in spite of that particular course being delivered in a timely manner. They probably knew what was going on and likely wasn't on board, or knew what they were delivering was sub par.

No one in that dining room was happy. I was saddened at the realization that everyone else seemed to get it at the same time, we been brunch bait-n-switched (Brunch-N-Switch trademark pending). Buyer beware at this establishment, but YYMV. Their dinner service might be fire, we'll never know.

To review; understaffed, price gouged, inedible food, friendly but sad staff.

Nice place to sit overall, but I wouldn't want to eat there.

The new owner must have a contempt for their brunch crowd which I get. Super basic people getting day drunk (which moms should get a day to be turnt if they choose)... But if that's the case, don't be open for that crowd, because I'm going to tell everyone I know to never step foot in this establishment ever having the experience we had.

You don't understand, I'm going to start conversations with strangers from now on that begin with "Don't eat at Harper's on Main, lemme...

So let me begin by saying if you live in the area and haven't visited this place, you're doing a disservice to your existence! Sorry for being dramatic but hey, shame on you! I went in tonight looking for a mean classic Old Fashioned. What a woman has to do to find good drink these days! But to my relief, this place had Toni working behind the bar who served me the perfect, no exaggeration here, Old Fashioned. As much as I loved the notes of the drink, I fell in love with the cherry. Upon asking I was told Sarah, the genius behind not just the cherry but also their cocktail menu, was around. She was kind enough to tell me her recipe for those delectable cherries. Now if you want to know more about those, you have to visit Harper's! I am only giving this review for free, not Sarah's perfectly crafted cherry recipe!

I ordered Harper's Burger for dinner. The burger was splendid to stay the least. The fries were well done as well, they were so good that I had to stuff my insides because I didn't want them to go to waste. Forgive me Father, for I have gluttony-ed!

I also happened to meet the owners tonight. Ajna is a sweetheart. Muki (I hope I am not butchering the name) is incredible. Edi could use some work but he redeemed himself by offering to split with me an Old Fashioned on the house. I've never heard of anyone splitting a drink with me before, and I do not wish to split a drink with an owner of any establishment ever again. But I can't deny that all three of them were very gracious, as were Toni and Sarah.

They have incredible wine tastings on Thursdays. A must visit spot if you want a good drink or just need to decompress. The ambience will definitely help you unwind. This place is no fluke. Go experience it...

My wife and I used to frequent Harper's especially when guests were in town but it's apparently been a couple years since we ate there. Decided to grab a bite. I immediately guessed it had new owners -- the restaurant and menu was the same but different. We started with a Caesar salad with gem lettuce. It was poorly seasoned (no acid or anchovies that I could taste) and definitely just regular poorly torned romaine (which would have been fine except for the slight mischaracterization and the price tag). I had the paparadelle and my wife had the burger asking for it to be prepared medium. My pasta was a fettuccine, not its namesake and way overcooked so that it was clumpy. It tasted okay -- like something I could make at home but it cost me $27. It was also served surrounded by dyed blue orchid petals -- just felt unnecessary and definitely not appetizing. Please stop putting bad flowers on food -- it's like the new curly kale from back in the 80s. My wife's burger was well done, not medium. I did take a bite and thought it had good flavor. So....I really miss the old food at Harper's. It was solid, local and felt fresh. This feels like someone who wants to own a restaurant but doesn't love food. The caveat -- my issue with the old Harper's was the service. The staff was always borderline rude and one of the main reasons we stopped going. Tonight, everyone was so friendly, happy and brought little extra appetizers and offers to bring an after dinner drink on the house. That was nice and definitely worth something. Not sure we'll be back soon but we'll probably give it...
