9 reviews for Harry's Seafood Bar & Grill
This place was great....Google maps and your GPS will make it a little hard to find and park at, but it's well worth the find.
We sat at the bar and I ordered a tasty hurricane (yeah, it was a long day)
We started with the Shrimp and Crawfsh Fondeaux which knocked me off my feet. It was just a dream to eat.
I ordered a cup of the gumbo, which I loved, it had a nice taste, and wasn't too acidic as many poorly made gumbo's are. I really enjoyed the balance of the herbs and spices. The Harry's hot sauce is a welcome addition to it.
For my entree I had the Blue Crab Crusted Redfsh, which is actually a redfish WITH A WHOLE CRAB CAKE ON TOP!
The dish was flawless, I smeared the crab cake on top and went to town....As a side I got the fried grit cakes with a tasso cream sauce, and was nothing short of amazed.....
The atmosphere here is lovely, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. One of the better meals I've had in this town.
This place is absolutely amazing! I've been here over ten times in the past year and 1/2. The food is amazing and plentiful. I have never been able to finish an entire dish. Get this, you don't feel ripped off after leaving this restaurant. I feel like each time I go here, I get the most value for my money. I can feed me and my girlfriend, have leftovers, go for dessert and still have money left to spend on additional entertainment for the night. I recommend this place as one of the best cost/taste/value everything restaurant in Tallahassee.
Keep is up Harry's
Guess Harry never made it to the Big Easy. This "New Orleans" style eatery got no style, at least none that calls to mind the great eats found south of Lake Pontchartrain. You could hang in the bar for a while and enjoy a few drinks, but venture any further and you'll be disappointed.
This is the best Tallahassee seafood restaurant I've been to thus far (although I will admit that other than sushi, I've been to Red Lobster and Barnacle Bill's, so my experience is limited). I went here with my boyfriend and two of our friends on a Saturday night. They do not take reservations (or so they said on this particular trip), but we did not have to wait long. They initially told us twenty to twenty-five minutes, but it only took about ten. I would suggest calling ahead and putting your name on the list if you think it will be a busy night.
I had the sugar cane shrimp and scallops with mashed potatoes, which looked nothing like the picture (they said it would be on a sugar cane skewer, but it looked as though it was never skewered at all) but was still pretty good. It didn't have much of a flavor to it, so I dipped the pieces of fish in the sweet sauce that came with it. My friend had the salmon, which was burned on the bottom because of the skin. The skin was impossible to remove, so she had to pick at it a bit since the skin was too charred to consume. Our other friend seemed to enjoy his steak. We also had the clam chowder as an appetizer, which was good but very thin.
The service was fine. Nothing too remarkable, but acceptable. I really liked the atmosphere and location. As you walk into the restaurant, there is a glass dome above you that is really pretty. Overall, with tip, the meal cost about $70 for me and my boyfriend.
For me a restaurant review is first the food, then the service, and last but not least the host/hostess. Everything is relative. This in my opinion is a 4 star in Tallahassee, FL, if I were to place this restaurant in DC or San Francisco, CA or Dallas, TX, it would drop a star to a 3.
Food: The food is good once they heat it up in the microwave! Ordered the seafood gumbo and it arrived cool to the touch, and cool to my lips. When I request the soup she grudgingly took it and said to me, you want it heated? Duh! I want cold soup at the restaurant?!? The crabmeat stuffed shrimp were plenty and good. Hubby had steak, it was well prepared about about 14oz.
Service: Could be better. There wasn't any enthusiasm at all, like "I am not here to be of service to you, but to get a paycheck to pay my rent"
Host: Comparable to similar restaurants.
Phenomenal food (whenever they get around to serving it and IF it's hot).
The reason I loathe going to Harry's is because their service is bottom rung. I've never had horrible service with such great consistency as I have at Harry's. I have been to Harry's at least 6 times over the past few years with maybe 1 positive experience.
Wait staff doesn't bring drinks in timely fashion, refills, food, etc. They'll serve a hot dish that is cold (plate and all). One time a single order (my wife's) was "lost" when dining with a group of 8.
Another time, on a week night, there were less than 10 people in the entire restaurant. We waited over an hour for 4 soups and 1 salad. That's all the group had ordered! Then the soups came out ice cold. When they came back out, they were too hot to eat.
I'm by no means a restaurant snob, but this place always enfuriates me. It's a real shame because the food really is great.
Les a le bon ton roule! Delicious New Orleans food...the Chef is from the NOLA, so he knows his stuff! Everything is good, but I love the grit cakes and the drinks. Go there and eat up!!!
While showing my 6 year old grandson around the state capital and the flavor of the old south, we happened upon Harry's. It is conveniently located right at the top of the elevator of the Kleiman Plaza parking garage and surrounded by interesting touristy spots, like the Challenger Learning Center, and the Museum of Arts and Science.
However, it is not a typical touristy, children's restaurant. It is an upscale, polished New Orleans Style Restaurant. Most of the entree items are priced around $15-30, but well worth it.
After seeing live alligators at a nearby state park, Joey was into eating gator and Harry's deep fried Croc de Jacque was tender and succulent. I went for the pecan crusted catfish with a crawfish sauce which was the optimal complement! If there had been room for Lagniappe, the waitress highly recommended the rich, chocolate, custard style bread pudding drenched in a white chocolate bourbon sauce--a helping made for sharing. NEXT TIME!
And there will be a next time. I brought a copy of the menu home with me and I have my mind already made up for my next visit.
The food is great. I like the location and I love the atmosphere. Ofcourse, if you have really upscale taste, you may think its just ok. But I have no complaints my food.
