Reviews Summary
Harpers Landing offers a beautiful, light-filled atmosphere and generally good food, with standout dishes like the scallop risotto and sticky toffee pudding. However, some diners have experienced inconsistencies in service and portion sizes, leading to occasional disappointment despite the friendly staff.
"Nothing but compliments!! Came for a birthday, one of our best restaurant experiences yet — mostly due to the outstanding service. Ivan helped us easily change our seating area, and made sure we were extra comfortable. Took care of each of our needs, and even informed of complimentary birthday dessert, that guy is amazing at his job! The food and ambience absolutely hit the spot, quantities were great and so many new flavours. Can’t wait to come back again some day!"

"Friday August 29th finished our dinning experience at Harper’s. Ordered from Happy Hour menu. The bill came out regular pricing. The food was charged regular price. For example pizza regular price is $19.50, we never got the $15 happy hour pricing. None of the foods we received the discounted Happy Hour price. Either the staff needs better training or this was intentional over billing. I’m very disappointed in this tactic. I would avoid this location and go to a more honest located like Beertown next door. I noticed less and less customers are coming to this location probably because of this reason."

"Was here about two weeks ago, and we had an amazing dinner for a sad day. Our waitress was amazing. The food was excellent. The cool thing is this place is that it does offer a select menu for a group or party you may want to have here. Which I thought was pretty cool. The drinks and dessert were top-notch and an enjoyable place to be. I can't wait to go back."
