    I made a reservation for 12pm and when I arrived the restaurant was closed for the day. I received no notification from the restaurant or OpenTable. Very unprofessional and caused me inconvenience.

    When we arrived THE RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED, regardless of having made the reservation through OpenTable. I don't know whose error this was, but it was extremely embarrassing showing up with clients to a closed restaurant!

    The reservation was made for Fathers Day. We live in westchester county so not a neighborhood jaunt. We arrived to a sign that states the restaurant was closed. A call should have been made or a reservation not taken

    We arrived for our scheduled reservation and discovered a note on the door. It stated that they would not be open today. We were not the only people surprised at this. There were around a dozen people, all with reservations, that were stunned. As we left to find another restaurant, other groups were heading to the door then leaving. They need to notify people when they decide to close!

    The restaurant wasn't even open! It was father’s day! There was a note on the window saying it was closed. Dozens of people came up to the door with reservations and turned away in disgust. Many of them with their dad’s and families. I talked to one couple who said this had happened to them before at this restaurant. Go somewhere else!

    I was able to make a reservation at this restaurant and traveled two hours to meet family only to arrive and see that the restaurant was closed for the day. Completely inexcusable!

    So disappointing. The host staff was welcoming and accommodating with our request for a booth and the restaurant looked lovely. Sadly, our server was pretty terrible with three requests for lemon for the water starting things off. Other requests had a delayed or no response until requested again. It wasn’t that busy. She wasn’t stretched across tables. My husband’s French toast came out stone cold and was delivered back just about as we finished. It was his birthday. On that note the nice host staff said they’d do something nice for his birthday. Nope. Kia didn’t provide, do or say anything. We paid our check and left. UPDATE: restaurant just called me and apologized and sought to understand what happened. Now that is what we expect from Harlan Social. Greatly appreciate their ownership and hospitality. Thank you Harlan Social. We will give it another shot.

    Not a good- dining experience was extremely rushed, not by one but by two servers. Overall experience was equivalent to what you’d expert to receive at a Chillis. Never coming back to this place again

    The first thing you notice arriving at this restaurant is the noise level, you can hardly speak without screaming, snd that would be tolerable if the food and service were exquisite. But sadly this is not the case. I ordered a hamburger cook medium, but when the hamburger arrived it was cold and tasteless, and I had the sane complaint from my nephew, as well as my niece who ordered an strip Steak.

    The value dip is due to cost for the portion size. I realize you are paying top dollar for the space but a few extra ravioli are not going to impact the ability pay the monthly bills. And the space is really loud. Any type of fabric on the walls or ceiling would help, a lot! It is also very inexpensive.
