Nice place, but very poorly managed.
We’ve been here three times now—hoping each time things would improve—and unfortunately, we’ve been disappointed every single visit. Having lived in the area for over 20 years, we truly wanted to love this spot, but the lack of proper management has made it nearly impossible.
This most recent visit was the worst yet. Our party of ten waited over 20 minutes just for drinks, despite the restaurant not being busy at all. When food and drinks finally arrived, they came out one by one with several minutes in between—completely disorganized and frustrating. Most upsetting of all, the guest of honor (whose birthday we were celebrating) never received their food at all. Everyone else had finished eating by the time we realized their meal wasn’t even coming.
What’s even more disappointing is that this place could be great. The atmosphere is nice, and the waitstaff is genuinely fantastic. Our server went above and beyond, apologizing repeatedly for issues that were clearly out of their hands. It’s evident that the problems lie not with the servers, but with the management and bar/kitchen coordination. The staff was left hanging without proper support from the rest of the team.
We feel terrible for the waitstaff trying to make the best out of a broken system. This restaurant needs serious changes in leadership and backend operations to live up to its potential. Until then, sadly, we won’t be returning.

Wanted to come
Back this year after our first visit last year. Food was watery bland or frozen. Honey butter used on the broccoli instead of garlic parm butter. Missing items from the salad without saying anything to us. Asked for the nuts for the salad and they gave pecans instead of the listed candy walnuts. The only food that was tasty was the chicken soup. Not going again.

Tonight was our first time in and definitely not our last. So nice to go to a place that makes fresh and delicious food. we started with the cheddar hushpuppes that were perfect. My husband had the harrison burger, patty was cooked perfectly! and I had the Cajun seafood pasta that was amazing. everything was seasoned well and came out hot. you can tell they take pride in the food they make.
service was also great. attentive and offered suggestions! and my drink...yum!
we will definitely be back!

Wonderful restaurant! I had the Harrison burger. It was amazing! The chips and fries were both delicious too. The atmosphere is amazing as well. It would be a great date night or you can bring the whole family!

You can play chess, checker, Jena, etc. In the back. I'll be back. I was disappointed that the bartender did not know how to make a proper old-fashioned & expresso martini.

For being a speakeasy, the cocktails were bad. My pomegranate 75 was warm, I had to ask for ice. My friend got a traditional margarita and it tasted like they used the most bottom shelf liquor. Rose margarita was good but didn’t blow me away. The food was mediocre, we all had the burgers cooked medium. The atmosphere was very nice, fun outdoor setting. Hard to find the restrooms (hidden behind pictures that were doors). It’s too bad the drinks and food weren’t better because the concept is terrific! Our server seemed new, she was friendly.
What a great place! Cool atmosphere, great food and awesome service! We will be back!

After going to a play in Grosse Pointe, we needed a place to eat for 7 women. Harrisons served the situation perfectly! The staff was very kind and accommodating. There were some unique and delicious food items too! Use the bathroom before you drink too much though. It can be a little tricky! 😙

Not much of a speakeasy, it was a pretty big place and loud AF. I would say it's more like a mid scale bar with decent drinks. Comparable to Terry's Terrence.
