    Food and experience is always delightful. Did have a 2pm lunch booking though, and upon ordering a bottle of wine around 230 was told they closed at 3pm. Felt a little rushed to then drink the bottle while they packed up around us. If it was a hard stop, would have just ordered a glass. But on the whole - excellent experience as always. Cant beat the chicken salad!

    Harveys is a Brisbane tradition. The food is always excellent, as is the service. The welcoming feel is lovely as you walk into the restaurant and the staff are lovely, always happy to help. I look forward to my next Harvey's booking- which I'm sure won't be far away.
