Brussel sprouts
Jennifer C.

Really enjoyed our time here and happy they have a dog friendly patio! Located in a shopping mall, the parking was a bit tough on a Fri night. We got there at 5:45 and was quoted a 20-25 min wait for the patio but ended up waiting close to 45 min. The space isn't actually that big and I heard a couple other groups getting quoted wait times as well even though it was early. They have their beer menu but also have wine, cocktails and some other non-alcoholic drinks. I got a red Pinot noir that was pretty good. My partner got the tiramisu stout and didn't really taste the tiramisu part as it mostly tasted like a standard stout. For food I got the brussel sprouts with the pineapple kung pao sauce on the side. It was a pretty good portion and a decent amount of pork belly. Most of the flavor comes from the sauce which mostly just tasted sweet to me but was still a nice contrast to the saltiness of the dish. My partner got the fried chicken sandwich with the hot honey addition ($1.5) and fries. He loved his dish.

Biscuits and gravy
R H.

Parking is easy it's in a strip mall in a nice area. We sat outside it was a nice day and they have shade for outdoor seating. Waitress was great, I ordered some biscuits and gravy. It came with home fries and 2 fried eggs. Everything tasted great and was seasoned perfectly. Their cooks obviously know how to cook. The biscuits reminded me of red lobster cheddar bay biscuits. I've never had biscuits like this with biscuits and gravy but it was different in a good way. The biscuits were not crumbly they had a firmness. I'll add a picture. I recommend this plate, the potatoes and eggs were cooked and seasoned well. Oh and the gravy is a sausage gravy. Enjoy!

Shrimp and Lobster Roll
Maria D.

Came here on a Wednesday night and was told there would be a wait. Looking inside, there was quite a bit of empty tables (see photo I took) so hmm not sure why the wait. While waiting outside, spoke to another couple waiting and they were told there would be a 30 minute wait and it was over 30 mins and they still had not been seated and it was a bit cold outside. Maybe the kitchen was catching up? Maybe soft opening so they are still figuring it out. Food was just ok. Very small size of calamaris. I got the lobster shrimp roll. Pre warn: not much of lobster shrimp in it and lots of celery and cucumber. I got it with salad and my plate looked more like I ordered a salad with a side of lobster/shrimp roll (see photo). My son had the Chicken sandwich which was good and came with awesome fries! The fries were my favorite item of the night. For drinks, I got the Japanese Lager, which is Puffed Jasmine Rice and Toasted Rice Flakes. Sounded exotic and it was a Good beer! Our order of dessert never came and when we finally asked if it was coming, they apologized that it seemed order was not put it (or maybe they were out?) not sure but either way, we decided to forgo the bread pudding. They have been opened just a week so perhaps they are still ironing out logistics.

Half-Roasted Chicken.

After much anticipation, Harland opened their new restaurant in 4s and I was able to stop in for a visit. The vibe of Harland is fun with an elevated menu much like many of the micro brews that have been growing here in San Diego. I'll be optimistic about its success, but my recent experience was a little mixed. The staff were very friendly and all seemed to work well as a team. Was met with a friendly greeting and was able to get a seat pretty quickly without a reservation. I was looking forward to sampling a few of their beer selections on the menu, but was told that several were not available. After ordering a beverage, I was looking forward to an appetizer before sampling one of their entrees. To start, I selected to the Garlic Noodles and for my entree, I ordered the Half-Roasted Chicken. Both the beverage and the appetizer arrived very timely. The Noodle dish was a good portion for an app, and had a slight kick to the sauce. Beyond that, it was pretty average. The Half-Roasted Chicken arrived with lots of accents with its sauce and toppings. It had a good portion of chicken which was cooked well and was moist as well. The chicken was served with a jus and topped with shaved fennel. Unfortunately, the jus was more of a thicker sauce and was a bit short of savory flavor. Good potential, but crispy skin and savory jus would have made a huge difference in my opinion. Not something I would order again. For a new restaurant in the area, I remain hopeful that Harland will work through its new restaurant kinks and become one of the local favorites. The location is solid and a good history of success in the area. I'll be sure to stop in again sometime in the near future.

Fish taco
Saadia P.

Newly opened in the neighborhood. A fantastic addition to the eateries. Great food, great ambiance and efficient service of very polite staff. The wait was very long on a Saturday evening and they dont take reservations. We decided what to get while waiting to be seated. Quick service after we ordered. Every dish was tasteful. We were starving by the time we got our food that I could take pics of half empty serving.portions were good size. Best was Harland burger. Others that we got were three cheese corn bread, gnocchi, shrimp and lobster roll, fish taco, chicken burger, bread pudding They will be serving brunch soon and I am excited to go there again.

I wanted to love this place since they shut down the one in One Paseo, but it is just not as warm and inviting. Not super busy on and Sunday evening. We sat at the bar and had a nice chat with the bartenders. They do serve food so that is a step up, but the atmosphere was just kind of lacking and sterile. We ordered garlic noodles and the 5 cheese cornbread. They were both really good. We wanted to get the beer of the month to go but they were sold out. Overall I was a little sad. Wish the other one never shut down.

Lemon blueberry dessert
Carolyn C.

So excited for this opening in our community. We arrived tonight for the soft opening and enjoyed trying many different beers and a full dinner. This place is casual but classy. Real heavyweight silverware, glassware and plates. Beers - We tried a flight and then some. The flight is a great way to sample the different varieties. We went end to end from the hoppy Nelson Nelson, Hazy IPA to the very flavorful stouts (tiramisu and coffee stout was amazing). Can't go wrong with anything on the beer list. Food Appetizer: Calamari - great flavor, not too breaded and the sauces served with it are really flavorful - the hung pao sauce was on point. Entrees: Salmon on rice, lots of flavor, seared perfectly with side of broccoli. Chicken Curry Pita - moist and tasty chicken, stuffed into a pita with tzatziki sauce, fresh veges- delicious Dessert: yes we forced ourselves as our appetizer and meal was super filling but hey we were up and down the menu so had to complete the night wit the lemon with blueberry dessert - Umm Yes 100% We will certainly be back as the beer and food were great, friendly servers (thanks Jay) and I loved meeting the owners tonight as they were visiting every table. We wish you all great success and look forward to your growth in the community.

Chicken tendies
Laylah G.

I have never been to a Harland location, so this is my first impression. Located right next to Piacere Mio, this brewery has a great patio and super nice interior. It was mostly empty for a Tuesday lunch, so that was very nice. The shared plaza parking had more than enough space. I was part of a large group (10+) who made a reservation in advance, so I will try to be nice. The server was juggling a lot for us, but I found it odd how infrequently he checked on us. He forgot to take our drink order entirely. We passed around a few of the appetizers, the flatbread was my favorite. The menu was a bit overwhelming with no singular theme, more of a variety. I chose the salmon poke bowl for something light and it was amazing! Unlike a traditional poke bowl, but I liked their take on it. My friend said the honey bbq sauce was to die for! She ordered a Cesar salad with chicken on the side. When the chicken arrived bare, she ordered the honey bbq to smother it in, and she said that salad was the best she's had in a while! Overall I think it was a solid lunch spot and the variety of the menu could be hit or miss depending on the crowd.

Let me just say this - Harland's Japanese Lager might be the best San Diego brewed beer right now. It's truly a homerun product from this company. Imagine a lager like a Sapporo with a hint of toasted rice. It's amazing! On to the review. This is the 'new' Harland Brewing tasting room but its more like a restaurant... I was a HUGE fan of Harland at One Paseo. It was a place to chill on a leather sofa or out on the patio in Del Mar/Carmel Valley to have a beer, shoot pool, people watch, watch the Padres, etc. Many were sad to see it close as it was much needed in the area. (so I might be comparing here). To be honest - I wasn't feeling it at this new location. Sure they have the same beers, added a kitchen with a full menu but the vibe is just sterile. Its just tables and chairs with a bar. It just has that stucco, drywall, steel feel to it - that you find everywhere else. As someone mentioned, Board and Brew next door has cheaper beers. Harland does have the $5 beer of the month and when Padres are playing they have the Cronezone lager for $5 (at least they did last year). Maybe its just new and it needs to show some patina but I'm probably not going to go out of my way to come here.

Smash burger w/side salad
Vida K.

Very good smash burger and some unique and tasty beers. Harland replaced Ponces Mexican restaurant and they did a GREAT job making the place look really lively and nice. The beer prices are my only negative, $9 for a 16oz beer when there's a board and brew right next to it with often $5-$7 beers makes it difficult to spend that amount but for the ambiance it is worth it once in a while. The quality and service were great and they have a decent appetizer and food menu.

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce
Angelyne S.

My husband doesn't drink beer very often, but when he does, it's Harland beer. He's always wanted to go to the Scripps Ranch location, so we decided to check it out for lunch, when we looked up driving directions we found out there was a 4S Ranch location. So that's where we went instead. The service was amazing. The hostess was sweet, our server was so helpful and everyone else that brought our food was just great. We ordered the hummus for appetizers. My husband ordered the fish tacos. I ordered the lobster roll. Our kids got cheeseburgers. We also tried their desserts. Everything was delicious. The aesthetic was clean, modern and simple. We sat inside, but they also have an outdoor patio area. They had some pretty sweet merch on display as well. I bought a gift card to put in an auction basket I'm putting together. Overall, pretty satisfied with our visit. I reached out to the manager, I'm waiting for a response back.

Fish tacos
Kashaf S.

Limited menu, decent price and tasty food. Cornbread was the best.. yummy and a must try! Friends had gnocchi, fish tacos, chicken and the lobster roll and they said it was great. I had the smash burger and it was good as pretty classic but nothing new I should say. There were eight of us in our party and the dishes were brought out in parts so it affected the overall experience as some had to start eating otherwise their food would have gotten cold while the others sat and watched them. It's a great addition for people who live close by otherwise not something which will make me especially drive there.

We tried the Fried Shishito Peppers, Veggie Potstickers, Grilled Broccolini, Rosemary Garlic Fries, Whipped Burrata, Garlic Noodles, Salmon Poke Tacos, and Lamb Chops.
