Harper's has changed their menu since my last visit and I'm not sure its for the best.
We visited on a Friday afternoon and was surprised that it was almost empty.
We started the visit by ordering the dipping duo (creamy spinach and pimento cheese). Keep in mind that Ive been ordering this appetizer for over 15 years. When it came out, I was completely let down, as they'd completely changed the recipe. The spinach tasted like steamed spinach and you couldn't even taste the chopped onions. When I moved the dip around, half of the bowl had warm water on the bottom. The pimento cheese now has jalapeƱos in it and it super spicy (it used to be a true southern pimento dip with a hint of pepper). Our waitress was kind and allowed us to switch out the spinach for the guacamole. In my opinion, this dipping option is not worth the price ($11) because the taste isn't there anymore.
I ordered the Chicken Caesar salad (not on the menu) with Caesar dressing on the side. The breast chicken used to be blackened but this one looked like it was shredded chicken instead and was dry.
For dessert, we ordered the brownie with ice cream. The dish looked beautiful when it came out but upon further Inspection, was truly a let down. It looked and tasted like a little Debbie's brownie that'd been warmed up.
I will say that the service was very good and at the end of the day, it wasn't our waitress' fault for how the food tasted.
Im very disappointed as Harper's has been one of my favorite restaurants for well over TEN YEARS. I have never minded their prices until yesterday. I walked away paying $50 for a lunch and was overly disappointed because I felt that I could've gone anywhere else and have been more satisfied.
