Harpers Garden

Came here for a quick bite and few drinks while visiting Philadelphia. The restaurant was pretty full with brunch patrons, but the bar area was open seating with a few tables open. Once seated, the bartender immediately came from behind the bar to greet me and take any initial drink orders. Ordered a few cocktails and the Murray's NYC Cheese Board with 5 cheeses. Bartender immediately made the drinks and delivered them within a few minutes, then the Cheese Board within 5 minutes after that. When delivered, the explained the 5 different cheeses and a short history of them. In addition to the cheese, it included almonds, fresh fruit, fruit preserves, and mustard. The cheeses were a nice blend from soft to firm. Naturally preferred some over the other, but all were good overall. Drinks were well made and went well with the Cheese Board. It was a nice place to come for brunch and drinks. Service was very prompt and friendly. Had the Cheese Board this time, but will definitely try the other brunch foods as they all looked great in passing.

Excellent brunch spot! We visited from NYC and was recommended this place by a local. We got the truffle toast, eggs Benedict and short rib sandwich. Quality and plating of the food was excellent and the decor of the restaurant was beautiful. Drinks and service was great too! Overall would be back to try other items on the menu.

This place seems like a very popular brunch spot, people have been waiting outside for a while just to get a table while it’s most empty inside, maybe due to shortage of staff? I just wanted to grab a drink with my friend so we just found ourselves a seat by the bar and skipped the line. The have a “signature drink menu” but I think that was it, you couldn’t order any other cocktails that was not on the menu, and there were about 8 to choose from(not a whole lot) if I remember correctly. And I ordered some oysters to go alone with my drink, the oysters were kinda soaked in water and the sauce wasn’t very good, still edible though. So I would have to say the food quality was meh, but the place was cute and the staff was pleasant to deal with.

Beautiful outdoor seating with great ambiance! Food was okay, I ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict with potato hash, peach cocktail listed on their menu (can’t remember the name of the drink), and house special (homemade buttermilk biscuits with homemade butter w/ spices & jam). Surprisingly enough, the biscuits were actually my favorite! The butter was a neon green color but it was delicious and I used the butter on the potato hash for more flavor. My friends ordered the French toast and didn’t like it as it had some spices in it. The service was lacking a bit as it was very busy and I personally felt like food was pricey for staple brunch dishes.

Have been here a couple of times and both were lunch visits.. the place is really nice.. the menu is small but the food is amazing and the ambience is pretty good. They do have greenhouse seating which is good if you have a party of your own. We loved the main seating more though as it feels busy and connected.

Dinner here was lovely and delicious! Cocktails were very good as well! We sat in one of the greenhouses they had. I will say the night we came was very windy so it was a bit chilly in the greenhouse but I think otherwise it was a very cute place to dine. Staff was very sweet too!

We went to Harper’s garden for a romantic date night. The restaurant has nice interior decor. I was pleasantly surprised by their ‘Merican burger. It’s one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! We also tried their chicken, which was dry and unremarkable. They have some nice wines. We enjoyed a bottle of Rose; it was very good! Our server was very prompt and polite.

This is my 3rd time at the place. The first 2 times were dinner at their outdoor seating. They have this little 'greenhouses' set up that are nicely heated. Each greenhouse can accommodate maybe up to 6 people, really nice looking and comfortable. This 3rd time we had lunch at their bar. Gotta say it's kinda cold and drafty because the bar is right by the door that was open most of the time because the waiters use that door to serve the outdoor area. That being said, their food is quite good. Nothing exotic. Mostly classic menu but done quite well. So are their drinks.
