    Went in before closing for a cocktail, the waiter was polite and the inside was nice. The kitchen was closed and we only tried the cocktails, they didn't taste bad. But they hey forgot to put one ingredient in the liquid gold cocktail for my husband, namely tajin. My cocktail on the bar card cost $16 , but the bill showed it for $18. We had no desire at all to deal with the situation. So we just paid and left. I'm not sure what grade to give for the error in each of the orders, but I think it's fair to give it a 3. P.s. I ordered the island breeze, which was $18. If you have any changes to the menu, it would be nice to change it.

    Harper's has brought a minimalist style- even when 'minimalist' wasn't a trend 10?, 11?, 12? years ago! The style is very stripped-back with a white-washed effect, wood accents, few, sleek iron touches, a frame here and there and a bar+area that's popping. Located on Main St in Dobbs Ferry, we decided to come here since we were close by. And their menu- while not 8-pages-long, said, "let's really enjoy Harper's". Plus my friend Jason M., had a lot of nice things to say. One of the blank spaces when you reserve on OpenTable- that you can navigate through Harper's website, has the 'select an occasion'. I normally forgo this option because even when I used to plug in the specific occasion at other restaurants, they just turn a blind eye on the request. Not Harper's my friend. Not Harper's. Greeting was warm with, "ahhhh, Mercedes....yes" and we were seated in no time. As if the warm greeting wasn't enough, 2 glasses of bubbly were brought over in the quickness. Thank you so very much. From there, everything still went uphill. From my wonderful girl Kiera, to the host, busgirls, cocktails that packed a nice punch that got you later and of course, the food. Every element has been thought of. Even with their 'minimal' feel, their menu mirrors that concept as well. From our cheese plate, to my chunky smashed potatoes to hubs' root vegetable medley in his dish- everything was very natural and so tasty. And while not strictly devoted to seafood, Harper's still serves up an aquatic bounty with care and flair. From their octopus appetizer that sounded nice, to their baked oysters- we went way off on another tangent and ordered other items instead. Everything about Harper's set the tone for our special evening to celebrate the first time hubs and I met 21 years ago. It's only a matter of time before we return because the pull of Harper's' seafood options (and other selections) sound too delicious to pass up.

    I've been going to Harper's for the last 6 years now. My wife and I both live in Yonkers but we make the trip out here because of how amazing everything is. The atmosphere is superb, the waitstaff is lovely, and the drinks are one of a kind. With that being said, the food is what keeps us coming back to Harper's. The food here is second to none, my favorite dish is the Lamb chops. My wife usually gets the fusilli or the gnocchi. I recommend this spot to all my friends and family when they ask me for restaurants!

    Salmon was delicious and broccoli rabe

    I had my Christmas party here in Tuesday night and it was fabulous! The food came out perfectly . The manager was so helpful in putting together prefixe menu for me and my coworkers . The drinks were amazing! So much flavor with exotic ingredients. The staff was friendly and on point . It was overall a great night and am going to come back for date night with the hubby . The dim lighting and music had such a good vibe . Thank you Harper's !!

    Black or autostic explain to us why they did not honor our reservation But she did the white people without one

    Absolutely love, the new owners, personable, engaging, checked on us several times. Will admit was a little disappointed with the change of menu. Some of my favorites are gone, but the new additions are absolutely fabulous! The servers were extremely attentive and accommodating. The new owners I think are there about a month. There were a couple little hiccups, but they made sure to accommodate. They gave us a desserts for free, which I will say do not pass up on the crème brûlée cheesecake absolutely fabulous. Love what they did to the backyard space looking forward to many other meals.

    A nice setting for a special occasion, with attentive service, relaxed atmosphere and pricey food…read more(seafood, steak, etc), with a Hispanic twist. However, I'm not one for expensive places if the food isn't outstanding, and also just not the fancy schmancy kind of person. We've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got the chance on a Saturday evening. With a view of the Hudson and even the city in the distance, it is a picturesque spot to make memories. The space is well staffed, with many people milling around, and they make you feel well cared for. The menu is a mixture of seafood, steak, and tapas type things. Entrees are about $40-70, appetizers are around $20-30, and the tapas items are $5 but small. They had a few specials, one of which was a $68 steak social with bone marrow filled with cheese and corn, as well as guacamole and aioli sauce; with the caveat that I'm not a big fan of meat, I didn't think this was a special dish but i liked the concept. The flounder was breaded with a well-dressed salad; typically I don't like fried fish and now I remember why and for $46 and a pretty common fish, i want to be wow'ed. The calamari and croquette were fine too. I did enjoy the tiramisu ($15) but it didn't feel like the best ever per se. Yes they had a couple lobster dishes and other seafood like mussels and oysters. The space has a lot of windows, which makes sense given its proximity to the city. Parking was easy. Overall we had a nice time, but don't "need" to return for awhile.

    I love the atmosphere here. It was my first time here and definitely not my last. The food was to…read moredie for. The oysters were very fresh, and the chicharrón was the best I ever had. And the beef short ribs were amazing. The service was on point. ITS A MUST TRY !!! YOUR MISSING OUT!!

    The patio and scenery is beautiful. It was the perfect weather to be out there. We called ahead of…read moretime and they told us the roof top was closed for dining and the patio was first come first served. Which was fine. We took the 45 minute drive. I walked up to the hostess and asked if they could accommodate a party of 4 for the patio. She asked me if I had a reservation for it. That confused me.. lol She told us it would be 15-20 minutes wait. as she was taking our info another group of 4 walked up; the guy that took their info was quicker so they go ahead of us on the list. We waited anyway about 25 minutes. My mom had to go back to the hostess station since we saw 3 empty tables. FFWD, Alex was not our server, but maybe the busser. He was great. He was attentive and friendly and helpful. He seriously should be promoted. He did more than our server. We asked for bread for the table, ordered the whipped ricotta app. we got the app, never got the bread. Asked for ice, never got that until Alex came by and got that right away. He was great! Our entrees were the quinoa burger, chicken caesar sandwich and turkey clubs. They were all good, nothing incredible. Maybe dinner is better. The view is spectacular, the food is great and the service was meh, other that Alex, who we appreciate!
