OK, Harry's has been around for like 20 years. They just remodeled last year and they bungled a simple dish (over-cooked NYStrip) on my last visit. Their service is always impeccable, so of course, my over-cook steak didn't cost me anything (and they replaced it with one that was slightly less charred).
So, last week, my wife and I were celebrating (she got a new job, yay!)...so we decided to give Harry's Savoy another go (I'm not a fan of the Seafood Grill at the waterfront - only had one REALLY good meal there in 5 tries plus too much of a fishy scent for a place that makes fresh(?) sushi)...
Anyway, Thursday night, at the bar (Savoy Grill on Naamans Rd), is $1 oyster nite. HOLY SPIT! If you like oysters, they have 6-8 different varieties with excellent descriptions of what to expect. And, they started a "small plate" menu for the bar...sliders, mini-prime rib sandwichs, tuna cevieche (I don't know how to spell it, but it's "raw" seafood "cooked" in citrus juices), buffalo tenders, and more....normally when my wife and I do a sit-down at Harry's it's $125...at the bar it was $79 (which was basically 2 dozen oysters, one of everything on the small plate menu, and 5 beers). Plus big screen high-def TVs to catch the Flyers (although they lost that night!).

I've only been twice, when the company was footing the bill.
It's definitely nice...but too pricey for my taste.
For half the cost and all the taste, I go to Texas Roadhouse.
Nowhere near as refined, but neither are we 
I do know that I'd probably make more money waiting tables at Harry's than I currently do.
I'm not a complainer at restaurants IN THE LEAST. I spent 3 years as a waiter...I ALWAYS overtip...I NEVER complain....
But if I'm paying Harry's prices for a steak, it better be PERFECT. (Or at least at the doneness I ordered it)
At least they comped it. That's classy. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Kid Lester For This Useful Post: | |

It wasn't all that big (3-4 bites maybe), but only $3 per portion...and with fresh tortilla chips (and some other root veggie that had no taste)..... |

OMG! There's nothing like a little slimy ball saturated in lemon juice, horseradish, and other sauces to get the juices going....I didn't like them until I quit smoking 14 years ago....perhaps they reminded me of the lung chunks I was coughing up.... | | The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Raptor For This Useful Post: | |
