Brunch was ok. But is was better the last time we went. The French Toast bites were extremely disappointing. They were so good the last times there.
Food was just ok. Cheddar grits were not hot when they came out and had a LOT of black pepper in them which overpowered any other flavor. They don't have non dairy creamer which was ok but the coffee was really acidic and not enjoyable. Atmosphere is always cool but the brunch options have been scaled back and it's pricy.
Soooo good!!!! Love this place and the service is always outstanding.
Always fantastic!
Food and drinks were amazing and service was outstanding, I'll definitely be returning
I did not get what I ordered. The waiter did not check back with us. The heat wasn’t working.
I love this place!!
This was the perfect place for brunch in a safe and socially distant place. The restaurant is very large and open and the food is incredible. Definitely one of the best places for brunch in Harrisburg
This was our second time coming in for brunch. Both times we were incredibly impressed. Please keep up the good work! We will definitely be recommending this to our friends!
First time there, food was amazing and staff was incredible. Great experience and I will definitely be back!
What a great night out! We haven't had this much fun in a long time. The food, the atmosphere, the servers were incredible. Even the General Manager made us feel like special guests when we walked through the door.
They feature local artisans in their rotating décor, as well as locally sourced micro-brews and craft cocktails. It's definitely a Harrisburg experience worth having if you live in the area or are visiting from out of town. 1500 is the place to be.
Amazing and incredibly accommodating
Came in for the re-opening/ZeroDay beer dinner. The food was great and the beer was as well. Everuone on the staff was great. We had a great time and loved the whole experience. Highly recommended.
Always excellent food, good safety/mask measures, space. Our waitress was outstanding.
Service was swift, friendly and professional. Menu is creative with something for everyone.
Staff was cheerful and welcoming even though Covid restrictions keep it from being the bustling, rocking restaurant it used to be. But still worth it on all levels!!
Great food and great atmosphere! first time having brunch there and will definitely be back!
Love love love this place, I’m a regular here and everyone is always so great. Although I noticed a completely new waiting staff. One of us accidentally knocked a mimosa glass over and it broke, so we started to clean it up and
This place is a gym! It was our first time but it won’t be our last time. The staff was super enjoyable. With so many restaurants closed for lunch due to the current distress, this place should be packed. You should check it out! By the way, I am not an employee just a new delighted fan
Wonderful wine dinner. The wine and food were both excellent and complemented each other very well
Chef Ethan and manager Patrick work very well together to allow for a completely wonderful gastronomic experience.
So good loved the food and atmosphere staff was very nice
Amazing service! Our waitress was super friendly and helped me choose the pork belly Benedict, which is to die for!
She also was able to combine OJ with cranberry in our mimosas (all her idea) — super happy with going there for brunch!
we got French toast bites and two different benedicts and both were delicious
It was a little noisy but otherwise great!
Cafe 1500 never disappoints! This was our first time attending brunch and it couldn’t have been a better meal! Thanks for making our anniversary that much more special!
Excellent service, exceptional meal, and awesome drinks! If you go - you MUST try their Bloody Mary special!
We went for brunch. Mimosa was great. Food was great- especially the donut french toast. Service was good as well. Tables were spread out well enough and the place was very clean.
So great! Best mimosas and breakfast for brunch. One of my favorite places!
Came for Sunday brunch. Good experience. Mimosas great. Will definitely return.
Awesome brunch with my daughter! She loved her French toast because of the soft taste. I love my shrimp and gritts because it was savory and filling!
The food and service was great. I really wanted lunch and they were only serving brunch. The one brunch item I was looking forward to trying was sold out. Otherwise, an enjoyable experience.
Brunch was fantastic! It was our first time but we will be back. Appreciated the adherence to social distancing guidelines. Felt very safe. Staff there are wonderful!
Go for the mimosas and bloody Mary’s
Great food, great drinks, and great service. First time here and will definitely be back again!
Our server Sam, was fantastic. I took my parents here for their 40th anniversary and Sam was so kind to them and accommodating and attentive. We had a great time. The food was wonderful and the service was lovely.
The brunch menu is very limited and what is posted on open table is not accurate.
Lindsey was our waiter. She was awesome, Friendly and checked on us often. The food was excellent. There was good social distancing. It was quiet in there. We loved the atmosphere. We definitely will be back.
A friend was in from Pittsburgh and wanted a low key brunch outside...1500 did not disappoint! Our server Kelsey was outstanding, as usual! And Justin always makes the best drinks! Keep up the great work 🙌
Excellent brunch. The Blackened shrimp and grits was a great combination of flavors.
First visit and it was amazing!!!
With everything that is going on right now, its become necessary to find safe restaurants to eat and escape. You also want those restaurants to be GOOD. We have always loved Cafe 1500 since we first ate here 4 years ago for a wedding anniversary. When they re-opened after restrictions were lifted, we knew we had to get back in for brunch. It was delicious as always, comforting, an oasis and the staff is always on top of things and masters of their craft. We will be back soon for dinner because great places that care about the food and service, as well as safety right now are few and far between! Thank you C1500!
