    Made a reservation in advance of the Michelle Obama event at the Tacoma Dome. Even received and confirmed that we would be there! Reservation was 2.5 hrs ahead of the event, but when we showed up, no reservation! Got two stories from the hosts- one was that OpenTable had crashed and lost all the reservation. The other was that Harmon is no longer using OpenTable, and that it was OpenTable’s fault because they had not removed Harmon from the app. Wound up having to eat crappy super expensive stadium food. Good thing Michelle Obama was so awesome the lack of real food didn’t ruin a special day we had been planning for months!

    They did not honor our reservation or any other reservations made on open table due to large event going on and told us it would be a 1.5 hour wait so had to go to another restaurant

    Terribly mismanaged. Went before Michelle Obama event, was told their Open Table "crashed" and they were not honoring reservations. They would not even look at the reservation on my phone. We were 45 minutes early, and they still did not seat us for another hour. The kitchen was so backed up that our orders were never filled, and we had to get chili to go and eat it standing outside in order to get to our event on time. Being so close to the Tacoma Dome I would expect that they would staff up to handle crowds before events. I'll never go here again!

    Upon arrival to our 5:45 reservations we were told Open Table server crashed and they didn’t have any of the Open Table reservations. It was an absolute poorly handled mess. Michelle Obama was in town and tons of people were in the area trying to scramble to find dinner. The restaurant refused to even acknowledge that I was able to show my reservation on my Open Table app. Huge fail of both Harmon Pac Ave and Open Table.

    Made reservation via OT before a Tacoma Dome show. They did not honor the reservation from any OT reservation holders and we were left scrambling to find something to eat nearby to avoid an hour wait. Super unprofessional and incredibly disappointing to find out they were going to do this upon arrival. At the very least, it would have be courteous to send an email or text beforehand since OT has this information. What’s the point of using OT if you’re not going to honor reservations when people need them most (pre-show when things in the area is super busy and time is limited).

    I made reservations via OpenTable one week prior. Upon arrival we were told that the OpenTable server was down and that they had no reservations and that tables were first come first serve. They didn't attempt to honor our reservation or allow me to show them confirmation via email of our reservations. Nor did they seem to care or offer any type of restitution. Michelle Obama was in town and every restaurant/bar downtown was slammed. When we walked to the a restaurant just a few store fronts down the street we were told OpenTable was not down nor had it been all day. Interesting. Luckily we found a bar down the street that worked hard to seat us and had a wonderful evening. I've been a loyal Harmon patron but will never go back. I felt they not only treated us poorly - it appears they were dishonest. Horrible customer service.

    I would not recommend coming here when there is an event at the Tacoma Dome. They were incredibly unprepared, understaffed -- it took us an hour and 20 minutes to get our food AFTER we ordered, and that was after waiting 40 minutes to place our order. The food was good though!

    Dinner before Michelle Obama speech, so obviously packed. However we were told “The Open Table” system crashed and all reservations were lost, so had to get on list. Waited 50 minutes for table and almost 90 minutes for simple food, that was cold and expensive. Brought our salads after almost done with main course. Ugh.

    I would recommend them, however they didn’t actually have our reservation made through open table. We had a larger party (10 people) and food took over an hour to receive and we didn’t have much an an explanation to why it took so long. The food is good and the location is fantastic.

    Juicy hamburger with tasty tomatoes even in winter. Don't often have fries but these were great. Size is too big for me, but provided a second meal, so not a bad thing. Was there after lunch crowd so really quite quiet which made visiting easy
