Harvey's Central Grille

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.

Nice restaurant had drinks and eats in the bar area.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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