| - I've been to Harper's three times on business lunches and thought it was time for a review. This place does a lot of things right, and it's another one of those times that I wish I had a half star to give out. If it weren't for being a little overpriced, this would be four-stars, so take that as you may.
One of my favorite things here is walking in the door to that wonderful smell of a wood-fired grill...can't beat it. The salmon they cook on that grill is just as good as the smell: always cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. Their pizzas are decent, but oddly, I find them to have too many toppings sometimes. They would benefit from less, so you get more of the dough and sauce taste. The pulled pork is decent, but it has to be vinegar based with a double side of coleslaw. They get a little stingy here with the slaw, and that can be a problem. My favorite menu item is the portabella mushroom soup on Tue/Wed. It is creamy, heavy mushroom taste, and very light on the seasoning. I love it when the ingredient really shines, and this soup hits it out of the park (if you like mushrooms as much as I do).
The service at Harper's is usually really good, they never let the drink hit the bottom of the glass, and they're not overly intrusive. Atmosphere is great and the big boothes are perfect for a business lunch.
