First time at Harvey's!!! Wow!!! Very good find thanks to our friends. This is definitely a want to come back place. We had for drinks, Byrrh-Bon Cherry tart, Old Fashioned Sweet, Harvey's Manhattan and a Chardonnay. Starter-Grilled Baby artichokes brandied chicken liver pâté. Dinner includes, Gumbo, shrimp fettuccine, Veal Marsala, and Scallops dinner that was one of the specials of the day. Our server DAN was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the drinks and food . This is a place where you can sit around your table and listen to everyone at the table. Nice music in the background but not overpowering. read more

The last time I was there the food was NOT good, and actually BAD. Nice atmosphere, but bun on my burger was old and stale, lettuce wilted, and fries greasy. There was a time this restaurant was cool. Not anymore. read more

We went to the restaurant with a friend last night. There is a lot of parking space, despite being full, we got a good spot. The ambiance of the restaurant was good, with a large group of groomed diners. The staff and the service were also good. However, the food was disappointing and did not come up to the reviews we heard from friends. We ordered pecan crusted whitefish as the main entree and were disappointed by the blandness of the taste. The key-lime pie was however good. Whether we will take our guests there again is questionable, as so many other choices are available. The restaurant has to pay more attention to the savoriness of what they serve, if they want customers to return. read more

Friday night fish fry was ample in portion and delicious. Sharon our server was friendly & efficient - thank you. Lots of options on the menu. Definitely recommend. read more

Harvey's is a go to favorite when I'm in town because it's a non chain restaurant and we like to support local restaurants. Tonight it was a quick dinner and got Veal Piccata. It was good, however it was a little greasy. Yes I understand it's fried, but before plating it they could have let some of oil drip off. Otherwise it's very good. I also enjoy their ahi tuna and gumbo when I'm there. Service is always great. The waitress seem to know a lot of the patrons and are always circling the dining room to make sure you don't need anything. The bar is always crowded when I'm there and it's great to see on a Wednesday in the summer the restaurant is pretty full. The outdoor patio to both dining rooms tables were occupied. If you're in the Mequon area for business you won't be disappointed by Harvey's. read more

Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no, need to call Return worthiness: sure Highlights: - Slider trio: each with a different cheese (gorgonzola, cheddar, pepper jack) and grilled onions. Gooey and savory goodness. 4.5 stars - Shrimp: cajun with bell peppers and a melted butter to dip in, Well done. 4 stars - Au poivre steak: 2 hunks of filet with coarse peppercorns on top.

Enjoyed our time here and would return. read more

Went here with a large group for my husband's 40th birthday. Service was excellent and the food is always good. They gave him a complimentary dessert and sang happy birthday which was a nice touch. It's a bit pricer than some other places in the Northshore but excellent for special occasions or date nights. read more

We visited Harvey's for a recent birthday dinner. My parents and I met on a Friday evening with an early reservation. They were already at bar table so we all had a cocktail. The hostess kept trying to seat us before we finished our drinks. After she hovered we let a server take us to our table. We were just seated when the hostess came over to our table and told us we need to move as there was a larger party that needed ours. We did not want to move, but she insisted. We carried on with our orders and meal. Irritatingly, they eventually sat another group of four at our previous table - no larger group. So we presumed someone more important came in and we were rudely bumped. For that reason alone, we will never go here again. It's a pity really. The servers were quite good and nice. The food was good - we loved our fish special. Our cocktails were fine, if not great. They even brought a dish of ice cream with whipped cream and candles for the birthday pair. Alas, all too little and too late since we felt slighted and insulted by the pushy hostess. read more

Nice happy hour and friendly bartenders. Despite many items being on the menu for a long time they still often miss the mark. I. E. the halibut. The chef appears to be a wizard with scallops but few patrons order it due to a ridiculous ly high price. This is puzzling because the grocery store across the street sells large frozen dry sea scallops at a very moderate price. Wonderful hostesses and great wait staff. read more

Classy consistent place. Excellent music. Bar staff is always top shelf. Dining room folks are professional and friendly. Not the place for the deep fried crowd. Always a great experience and our go to favorite in the area. read more

I love the atmosphere at Harvey's, we try to get there early , and while there seems to be a fin crowd at the bar, we went right to our table, Service is always great, even during busy times. The food is our initial draw, we have had very consistent meals, done just as we asked. read more

Decent menu, good food, good service, cozy spaces. Long a favorite in the area I am told.

Delicious food every time I go to Harvey's. Service is great and I love the atmosphere. Thank you to our waitress, Rachel for her excellent hospitality read more

Went to this restaurant with a friend & thought it was pleasant & a good bargain for a nice meal. We got rib-eye & veal & found both well-prepared & nicely presented. Service was very good & ambiance was comfortable & unpretentious. Not the best option in a city with many wonderful restaurants but a good choice on a rainy night. read more

Great non-chain restaurant in Mequon! We usually come here for appetizers and drinks but sometimes for a nicer dinner. Warm welcoming spot with friendly staff, they have a lot of regulars here. Dimly lit bistro feel with a bar section that includes numerous high tops. Outdoor seating with heaters also available. Good cocktail selection and many appetizers to choose from. Smaller entree menu but food is great and there is always a special. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries, they're very thick more like sweet potato chunks but SO tasty with the aioli. read more

In town for business and stumble upon Harvey's. I thought the look of the restaurant was lovely and the patio areas are very nice. We had scallops, grilled shrimp and a few other appetizers all where fantastic. I highly recommend the scallops as an appetizer and a main course. During our meal Harvey's was pretty busy, but the service was amazing. Our waitress made sure the wine glasses were full and checked in with us several time. 10 out of 10 and highly recommend. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with dinner here and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This place is truly a hidden gem - between their beautiful inside dining area, the patio out front, or the screened in porch, I don't think you could possibly have a bad dining experience here. We started at the bar for a drink and we're greeted by the most wonderful, cheerful bartender. He had a full bar and was visibly attentive to each customer - he was great. We loved our drinks and his demeanor that we almost stayed and ate dinner right there. However, after much debate, we decided to check out the screened in porch. I'm told they heat this in the winter, so it's more like a 4 seasons room which is super fun. (Plus no bugs!!!) They gave us bread right away (my favorite) with butter. The butter was very hard, but we didn't mind too much. We also ordered shrimp tostadas and the scallops for starters. I've only really enjoyed scallops at one other restaurant - I'm picky about my scallops - and these were DEVINE. I was thoroughly obsessed, which lead me to substitute my shrimp at dinner for scallops in my dish (which they were happy to do! My only *complaint* which truly isn't a complaint, is that they sliced the scallops and I would have preferred to do that by myself - but it still tasted absolutely delicious) my boyfriend got their pecan crusted whitefish which was also amazing. Crusty on the outside, but nice and flaky and moist on the inside. His also came with broccoli and brown rice! We finished with the key lime pie, because we just had to try their desserts and it was truly the icing on the cake. This place was really awesome and we will be back! read more

Outstanding management, incredible service and fantastic staff. It's favorite spot in Mequon Wi.

Excellent quality special food entrees, service and reasonable prices! I Liked the bar and met very nice professional and polite people.

I ate at Harvey's for a birthday dinner and I'll never be back. The staff doesn't greet you and quite literally just watched me stand at the podium looking for my table. Eventually, without their help I found our table where I ordered the ahi tuna which was awful. read more

Delicious food & great atmosphere with friendly efficient servers. Great place to celebrate special occasions.

Had the strip steak and it was great. Appetizers were also delicious. The scallops were good and the naan platter was soft and warm.

We did touch-less pick-up so can't comment on the dining room. The outdoor patio was full, overlooking the parking lot. Gumbo & slaw was meh. Wednesday special ribs were yummy. Fall off bone, thick somewhat spicy sauce. 3 tiny corn bread muffins & kind of soggy fried potatoes. (Could be takeout factor). Service was friendly & speedy. Clientele leaving at 7pm skewed senior. read more

We assembled family from out of town to celebrate my brother and SIL's 43rd wedding anniversary. We ordered several small plates to serve as appetizers for our group of 6. Plates emptied while we oood and ahhhed each delectable choice. Entrees were just as enjoyable. Cocktails spot on and a few desserts made it around far sampling. Servers were outstanding and the ambiance, relaxed. We were there on a Wednsday, reservations are recommended. Some folks dining outside, enjoying one of the few comfortable evenings left in Wisconsin. Will definitely return as well as share the experience with others!! read more

This place is awesome!! It is my go to in Mequon. The staff is great, the food is excellent!!! I love coming here!!!

Service and communication is lacking. It isn't uncommon to assume a restaurant provides a take out service. But if it's limited then have a public communication about it like on your FB page or website to indicate operations of restaurant wouldn't be a stretch. What is puzzling, is the excuse not to communicate/publish. They stated nowhere is "take out" discussed on their website so why would they need to communicate that take out orders are only available before 5:30. I would have planned differently when I looked at their hours of operations at 6pm and the menu. At least be friendlier on the phone....not like I should have known. read more

Excellent! Scallops were amazing. Shrimp bisque was so very good...I wanted more than my cup. Duck salad was good. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for: nice restaurant - could be romantic or ladies night out or small celebration or, as in my case, single woman on a business trip. I love this place. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely stop in. Parking was easy with a big, nice lot. I wish I had sat on the lovely patio. Being from Austin, TX, I take patio-sitting weather for granted. read more

This is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. I called Harvey's to place a to go dinner order. I was told the cut-off time to place an order was 5:30 PM. They are busy and cannot accommodate the request. What's the difference between a to go order and placing the same order from a table in the restaurant? Again, never heard of a restaurant turning away business. Who does that? read more

Fantastic classic bistro spot! My family and I go at least once a week and love their food. My favorites are the kung pao chicken tacos and the boursin flatbread on the cauliflower crust. Sharon, Rachel, Amy and the whole staff are wonderfully kind as well! read more

Always good, consistent food and service. Nice atmosphere--always enjoy dining here. Pleasant patio dining available during good weather.

All-around a great experience. Service was top-notch, the food was great (and priced appropriately), and the dessert options were plentiful. Will be back! read more

I've eaten at Harvey's on several occasions as it is conveniently located near my mother's house. The last time there I was with four other people. The service was okay, not great. The waitress forgot our appetizer and brought it after our meals were served when reminded. She comped it. I ordered the scallops with wild rice. The scallops were big, fresh and sweet. No complaints. Fresh steamed vegetables, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli and, oddly, a single leaf of lettuce and garnish, accompanied the main dish as well as the "wild rice." The wild rice wasn't wild rice at all, but rather seasoned white rice. The waitress informed me that they frequently make such substitutions. She offered to bring an order of wild rice instead. This turned out to be more seasoned white rice with a scant sprinkling (and I do mean scant) of wild rice. Why bother with such transparent deception? Does a Wisconsin restaurant really not know what wild rice is? At $29 for the entree I expect to be served what I am sold. More than disappointed. Three stars because the scallops were excellent. Minus two stars for either blatant deception or unforgivable ignorance. read more

Food was very good. Atmosphere was crowded, loud and somewhat hot. Avoid root salad if you expect to have root vegetables. It is mostly lettuce with possibly 1/4 cut dice root veggies. Service was a disappointment. Dinner took 2 hours for the 4 of us. We had reservations for 5pm and didn't finish until 7. read more

The chicken gyro sandwich was poorly executed. The chicken was overcooked (dry), the pita was inedible, the sauce was not tzatziki. At a price point of 18$, a complete failure. Won't go back to Harvey's. read more

service was slow, food was NOT good, and it was way too loud inside the restaurant that i could barely talk to the people next to me

The best food and best service. We loved everything about this restaurant. We didn't have a reservation but they found us a great table. After our meal the waitstaff and hostess brought us a Wisconsin limoncello drink and toasted with us. read more

Our group was in this past weekend to celebrate a belated Christmas dinner...2 couples & a single. Our entrees were truly wonderful...absolutely delicious...no complaints here. Our issue came when it was time to pay. Apparently this restaurant will not accept separate checks. Every other restaurant we have been to in the past 2 years will happily divide the bill & accept payment by credit card from each payer in the group. As no single payer wanted the full amount on his or her credit card, we all had to come up with exact cash for our particular entrees, drinks, appetizers, taxes & tips. It made the end of our evening a little stressful. Again, every other restaurant we've been to has been very accommodating...except Harvey's. read more

We went here for a quick bite to eat during happy hour. Overall we felt that the experience was just "meh" Their happy hour pricing is not as welcoming as others. Wine is about a dollar off, martinis are two dollars off. We had the baked goat cheese and a hamburger. The burger was quite tasty, and is the reason why this review was a 3 vs something lower. Pros - the burger is quite tasty, and they made a good martini Cons - the service was slow and not very pleasant, and overall the food was pricey for what you get read more

The food is good but over priced. But the drinks are crazy high. $20 for a shot of tequila? That's crazy. Never again.

The food is good but crazy expensive. A shot of tequila $20. Crazy. They never had prices like that before. Never again.
