Harley Gray Kitchen & Bar

Friday we went to Harley Gray to celebrate my best friend's new path. I've been wanting to try them out and this seemed like a perfect opportunity. The restaurant is a nice intimate size and has such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I made a reservation for our group because I am a reservation person but depending on your party I think it is suitable to walk-in. The hostess was lovely on the phone and in person. I had to call to let her know we were running late. Once we arrived we were immediately sat at a nice table by the side door. Our server who was training greeted us brought water and took our drinks and appetizer order. He was great and was being shadowed by his manager, Manny, who was also personable and friendly. We started with the Billionaire Margs doubles obviously and they went down refreshingly and tasty. We each had two. Our appetizers came next. We had the calamari and the crispy fried artichokes. Both were delicious and made perfectly. For our entrees I ordered the pork schnitzel which was the perfect choice. It was outstanding! V ordered the mahi mahi which was also done well. It was light and flavourful. C ordered the Harley Gray burger which she said was great. I couldn't try I don't eat red meat. I'll definitely be back for more schnitzel! I'm a huge restaurant dessert person! I don't really eat dessert at home and I make dessert even less so when I'm out I love to sample. I ordered the Apple Brown Betty which my mom always made. It was so darn good! It wasn't cloyingly sweet either. V ordered her favourite tiramisu and said it was perfect. C ordered the s'mores which I tried and it was good but too sweet for my taste. We finished up our cocktails, chatted and digested, and then settled up the check. I love a restaurant that allows you to sit and eat and enjoy the company you're with and doesn't hover. Thank you, HG, we had a fabulous meal and evening!

Sean is in training. Manny is his supervisor. Kiele was another server. ALL SUPER FANTASTIC! Great food and great service! Love!

Let me start by saying that this review is more so based on their food because the staff is WONDERFUL. They are kind and efficient. Their service is always top notch. The food however could be better. I've had a few things off of their menu and it's been underwhelming. Honestly I mainly go because they have an amazing $10 bottomless mimosa brunch deal with the purchase of an entree. But the food isn't something to rant and rave about. The vibes are great and I love the outdoor space they have. It's a fun place to get together for brunch if you are looking for bottomless mimosa brunch.

So I feel like this truly has been our local and favorite Restaurant in Mission Hills! It has been our go to for Happy Hour, Lobster Night, Prime Rib Night - and we Love Sunday Brunch too! I guess I should include foodie pics, but I think I am enjoying so much that I don't take them ;-) Service has always been spot on! I think we have been a dozen times!

Second time I've had brunch. Arrived at 11 on a Saturday and was emptyOrdered the short rib Benedict. It was ok. Bland. Hollandaise sauce was broken. Potato tasted like burnt oil. Waitress was fine. Checked in a couple of time. But no personality. Got the Bloody Mary which was good. Drip coffee which was adequate. No expresso machine which seems weird. Over all just a ok experience. Not sure I would return.

Food glorious foood. There is not one thing on here that is nasty! Here is some assortments of food we got! Tacos, award winning clam chowder, sliders, nachos...all of it is AMAZING! Y'all must come here. The service is fantastic and you will never ever be dissatisfied coming here!!!!!

Nice spot for brunch on a slow day. Family and I visited on a Friday morning and it was only us and just a couple other parties. Bottomless mimosas are always a good idea! And the menu has a decent amount of options to satisfy for a light brunch. Avocado toast was yummy with the cucumbers and balsamic glaze. A little egg and bacon on top makes for a reliable dish.We also got the mai tai punch bowl which was pretty strong, but no presentation! The menu said it comes flaming but it did not. We should have lit it ourselves LOL. Great to share for a party of four, at least.

I joined my boss and team members for team building dinner at Harley Gray. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. It's quaint and romantic with candlelight and dim lighting. I could see having a first date here. We were seated along the far wall so I sat in the bench seating to face the entire room. I appreciated that they gave pillows to cushion my back from the hard wall. Our waitress was Emily. She was courteous. I ordered the Twerk is Work as I love anything with St. Germaine and Aperol. I was surprised by the size of the cocktail. See the photo. I don't think I have ever been served a cocktail in a coupe glass when it was not filled to the top. I was done with the drink is four sips. The cocktail itself was great but way too small. Needless to say, I was disappointed.We started with French fries, brussel sprouts and calamari. All three were good. The chipotle ranch sauce that accompanied the fries was fantastic. The brussel sprouts needed some bacon or something to zhuzh them up. As of the calamari, they were fine. We didn't receive any tentacles, only rings. For my main course, I ordered the pork schnitzel. It was a bit on the bland side. I couldn't taste any onion flavor in the gravy. The sauce didn't have much bite. I had just come back from Austria and Bavaria so I was underwhelmed by this HG version.

We have dined here several times thru the years. Nick was our server and he was wonderful and attentive. We were a party of 10 and I had placed reservations for us on open table. We ordered lavender lemonades as our beverages and my husband ordered a Cocktail. Each of us enjoyed a bowl of their award winning New England Clam Chowder. It was delicious and flavorful. Clams in almost every bite. I would order it again. Then we chose the following appetizers.-Calamaritender fried calamari, house saucesIt was delicious , Flavorful.

Thank you Nick for your kindness.

We attended The LGBTQ Center's Dining Out for Life event here and it was very tasty! Knocking off a star because we never got drink refills and didn't get checked on after our mains came, but it was very busy there tonight. The Apple Betty dessert is to die for! So tasty!
