Thanks for the great night out!!

by HarlemTScuba

Great night out! Went with a few friends who I hadn't seen in a while. Had a few drinks at the bar and was treated like royalty!! (great martini's!) At the table service was great and the food even better. I had the beet salad, and have been trying to replicate it ever since! And the lamb was to die for! I am looking forward to going back soon!!

• Pros: Food, Service, Bar...fantastic french fries

Average...

by debello73

A friend of mine has been under a lot of stress lately so I wanted to take him to a relaxing place and cheer him up. It worked! The food was lovely and the place was pretty but the servicer was rude which got me down. Another thing...... when I called to make reservations for 8pm the receptionist said they were booked up and could only seat us at 7:30. However the place was a quarter full all the time we were there. So I guess the food and place is pretty but I can't say much for the service.

our new favorite place

by billymm

I love the Harrison! We ate there for the second time last night and had one of the best meals ever. Each course was perfectly cooked and extremely flavorful. The panna cotta for dessert was the perfect summer delight! The Harrison is our new favorite place.

Artichoke hearts!

by sneakysis

OMG, the artichoke hearts appetizer. I've eaten there at least 10 times this year and cannot resist ordering that same appetizer every time. I love everything I've tried at the harrison, but I always end up dreaming about those artichoke hearts. Last time I was there I also had the lemon chicken and tried my husband's octopus salad and his lamb chop. It's a tossup which was my favorite. I could easily have finished his lamb chop if I hadn't stopped myself.

We live nearby and in that neighborhood (tribeca) there are hardly any places you can go spur of the moment, for a great, fun meal. So we really love this place. It's a lot of fun eating at the bar. I've also been for birthdays and everyone I've brought there has loved it. I sent my friends there for an anniversary, because they wanted a place that was not stuffy or too "fancy" but still felt special, and they thought it was perfect.

The waiters I've had were always really nice and knew their food. Always perfect service, and always delicious.

Bad Service

by DorschHite

I really wanted to like this place since I really like the Red Cat and everything started off well - nice table, welcoming staff, good drinks but everything went down hill once the food came. My wife's courses were excellent but both of mine were inedible, the clam special was filled with grit and my entree, a steak was really tough. When I complained to the server - he told me that manager said he didn't care. Must be under new management

Perfect!

by fashionboy

The food is wonderful, simple and always very good. The service is subtle. The staff is very knowledgeable. Prices are very good for Tribeca. Ambiance is good, sometimes a bit too dim though. Great place to take family or friends. Eating outside in the summertime is also a plus. They own Red Cat in Chelsea as well. Food is as good at Harrison and much better ambiance in Tribeca.

• Pros: great service

Absolutely Fantastic!

by ldanny

We had a large group ~25 people here for dinner and the service and food were spectacular. We were seated in the room downstairs that had great ambiance and the long table was perfect for our event. Everyone enjoyed the food, wine and the staff was really accomodating for our large group. Would go here again in a heartbeat.

• Pros: Dining room for large groups
• Cons: N/A

Rude reception

by inlovewithnyc

I always wanted to try The Harrison. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration for me. When

my friend sent me the Open Table Invitation I was thrilled. When we arrived for our reservation

we were greeted by a hostess with an immediate attitude. She said that we did not have a reservation

(which had been confirmed not only by Open Table on the phone through the restaurant). She led us

to a table in the back. It was very dark and unwelcoming back there. It seemed as though she was

doing us a favor. My friend and I looked at each other and said "let's go somewhere else" we told

the people at the front desk why we were leaving. We ended up at Bouley Bakery and had a

fabulous dinner with great service and a wonderful table with great views. There are so many

extraordinary restaurants in New York. Don't put up with that kind of service. Especially at those

prices. Our evening was saved!

• Cons: HORRIBLE ATTITUDE
