    I’d say food is average. However, I like the energy of the place, the burgers are great, and our service was very good.

    Friendly service. The quality of food is good. The drinks are pricey. The atmosphere is cozy with moderate noise level.

    My husband and I were highly disappointed especially with his meal. The menu stated Surf and Filet Mignon which stated 6 oz. The filet mignon was medallions. We have been to this restaurant many times but were told new management and new menu. Dinner menu was limited. We don’t mind paying for a good dinner but unfortunately was very surprised how much it has changed. The server was very nice and polite. Definitely not happy again with the menu choices..

    Usually love the place. What I ate this time gave me stomach issues. Bad fish maybe?

    Love Harpoons, but the entrees are all over $32 which is fine if the quality is great but in recent visits the food has been mediocre. I miss the Harpoon days of a variety of entrees plus gourmet burger and sandwich and salad options. I love the location and ambiance but miss the great food. We don’t go as often as we used to.

    I’ve had better food there before and again the server rushes us out of there. There’s no one waiting and insist on asking us 50 times. Do you want anything else?
