    Daily smoothie tasting: mango and strawberry
    Amirah S.

    Came here for brunch Saturday with my boyfriend, a little after noon and we got seated right away, greeted by our server Stacy! Who was really informative and really sweet. We each got two eggs any style, and then we shared a short stack of pancakes. The food was good portions and really good. We also got a tasting of their daily smoothie which was mango and strawberry and it was really refreshing and tasty. For drinks I ordered a pomegranate mimosa and my boyfriend ordered the daily smoothie. Beautiful restaurant with a view of the ocean and great service.

    Butchers Shop Omelet, filled with multiple meats. The size is deceptive!

    The last time we stayed at Oceans we came across this place as we were leaving and decided the next time we stayed we were gonna go. That brings us to today. We had a 1030 reservation and were seated within 5 minutes of arriving. We had pregamed the menu on the TV in room, but ofcourse once we got there we changed our minds We got the sticky bun to share...and glad we only ordered the one because it is HUGE! You can see the remnants of it in my picture. Perfect level of sweet served in a skillet! Let it sit a minute because it's hot. I ordered the butcher shop omelet, came with chorizo, bacon, cheese, etc. It is PACKED! it looks small in the picture compared to what you'd get at a Jersey diner but it's deceptive. I could not finish it, and it was delicious. The orange juice was very fresh also.

    Food was TOP! Exactly as described in the menu. Service went above and beyond. Very kind and attentive staff. The restaurant itself is very spacious and beautifully decorated.

    Good breakfast spot, plenty of classic options on the menu, good size portions, reasonable prices. Service was a bit slow but our waitress was the nicest person. Spacious and comfy sitting area.

    Very disappointing overall. The food was either completely bland or overwhelmingly seasoned. We tried to branch out and order some of the more unique items on the menu rather than sticking with the basics like pancakes and eggs -- that turned out to be a major mistake. As I walked around the restaurant, I noticed that nearly every table had the "safe bets": bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Now I see why. Since it was our first time here, we wanted to try dishes that you don't usually get for breakfast. The quiche lorraine had no flavor whatsoever. The poached egg on the mitake mushroom benedict was so overcooked it was almost gummy -- I didn't even know you could get that kind of texture in a poached egg. The mushroom and the home fries were similarly bland and under-seasoned. The shrimp and grits, on the other hand, were completely overpowered by whatever blend of spices they used. And apparently, they love crispy fried onions here, because they top nearly everything with them. In my experience, touches like that are often used to cover up poor cooking in the kitchen. Also worth noting: the cappuccino came out lukewarm. No flavor, bland sides, and an overall underwhelming experience -- especially considering the prices. We probably won't be returning. Dio, however, was an excellent server. Friendly, attentive, and warm -- he was the highlight of the visit. None of the food issues were his fault, and he truly provided wonderful service.

    Steak & Eggs

    Harper's is a brunch restaurant inside Ocean Casino Resort. They are open Mon - Fri 8AM - 1PM and Sat - Sun 8AM - 2:30PM. Every time I stay at Ocean I make sure to stop at Harper's. I've seen a few inconsistencies with the food and service here, but overall it's a great place to grab breakfast/lunch. I'm one to try different things on the menu, but when it comes to Harper's I always order the same thing; steak & eggs. The dish consists of two petite filet mignon medallions, two eggs any style, bearnaise, home fries, and toast. Service is good to great depending on who takes care of you. Fran was my server on my last visit and he awesome. He was friendly, accommodating, and attentive from the moment I sat down.

    Eggs, potatoes and chicken sausage.
    Maream S.

    We went to Harper's around 1 PM on a Sunday, there was no wait and we were seated promptly. We were immediately greeted by someone that filled up our water cups and within a minute or two our server Mike came by and promptly brought coffee over. The coffee was wonderful. We placed our order. I had the eggs with potatoes and chicken sausage. I was happy that they had an option for gluten-free toast. My husband ordered the steak and eggs. Our food was delivered in a timely fashion and looked very appetizing and also tasted great. The portion was large for me so I took my extra for later. The restaurant itself has a prime location with views of the ocean if you sitnear enough to the windows, everything was clean and inviting. I would definitely recommend if you are at ocean or in Atlantic City.

    Blueberry pancakes
    ManTat C.

    I'm not a morning person and rarely wake up in time to go have breakfast. Staff were all friendly and polite. Our waiter "Hao" greeted us and even offered us a shot glass strawberry smoothie. And I really appreciate that. Now, usually when I do go for breakfast the portion is small at other places and afterward I'll be hungry for more but not Harper's! They have some pretty big plates of food. I would have to say, I almost couldn't finish my food. I recommend getting their French press coffee. Waiter brings you a pot and you press the coffee down. It is on a pricey side but you get about 4-5 cups out of it. I gotten the blueberry pancakes. Pancakes were packed with fresh blueberry. You know it's fresh because the blueberries wasn't syrupy or gooey. Also comes with whipped cream on the top. Such a tasty breakfast. If you're a morning person and you're by ocean casino, stop by and catch h them out.

    Maitake Mushroom Toast
    Alison C.

    I had been to Harper's several years ago and had found it very over-priced for mediocre food. However, it moved locations within the Ocean Resort and seemed to take their food up a notch, while bringing their prices down one. The new space, which used to house an excellent Hawaiian restaurant, was spacious, modern, and relaxed. The service was timely, and our waitress was a sheer delight. We ordered a pot of the French Press Coffee, which was rich and super strong, just how I like it! For my brunch meal, I opted for the Maitake Mushroom Toast, which started with two large slices of sourdough bread, which were topped with a hefty amount of sautéed maitakes, crispy onions, and a poach egg each. I ordered the included truffle hollandaise on the side in order to pour it on as needed, and I thought it was generously packed with truffle essence. The toast came with a side of breakfast potatoes, which were greasy, but soooooo delicious. We were very impressed with Harper's changes and would definitely return.

    Turkish Eggs
    Kevin B.

    Excellent breakfast and service. A little pricey but that's to be expected at a casino restaurant. Had the Turkish Eggs which was a very unique and refreshingly light. It was a play on a traditional Eggs Benedict and was delicious. My wife and I went twice on our last stay at Ocean and we also had the shrimp and grits, Ocean Benedict and the quiche. All were awesome. Probably one of the best breakfast spots in AC!

    Leah L.

    The food was good I had the shrimp and grits it was delicious. Service was fast although crowded the food came fast. Place was cleaned and nice atmosphere. Definitely will be back.

    Hot Chocolate with the complimentary shots of Mango Smoothie
    Sheri S.

    Harper's made my list after doing some research on notable trendy brunch spots in AC. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess, informed them about our reservation and were promptly seated. I will say, the Ocean Resort and Casino is definitely my speed. Harper's has all the making aesthetically of the Instagram worthy brunch spot. It's open and airy feel with trendy, neat, and clean sleek decor made it very inviting. Their reservation system was efficient, and the staff were polite and attentive. However, the food left more to be desired. Before we ordered, our waiter, Nancy gave us complimentary mango smoothies in shot glasses. For starters, we had the sticky bun which was quite large but good to share with our group. Our waiter, Nancy, did warn us that the portions were large and suitable for sharing. I could tell the bun was not fresh but the flavor was decent. We definitely had other patrons looking over at our table because I think the size of the dish brought on some attention. The hot chocolate was a decent size and flavorful. It reminded me of rich flavored hot chocolate from my childhood. I ordered the egg white omelet but forgot to ask if I could replace the mozzarella cheese with cheddar cheese. In my opinion, the mozzarella cheese did not blend well with the vegetables in the omelet. The home fries and wheat toast that accompanied the egg whites were good. The whipped butter definitely hit the spot. Nancy and Francisco were a great team that took care if us! We were thankful for their hospitality.

    Busy Brunch Spot.....service is good enough through the busyness!! The dining area is loud, and packed. The bar is actually quieter. What's nice about Harper's is that the menu changes frequently, there are always new things to try!! Delicious pancakes !

Caesars Atlantic City felt deserted, and Tazza Cafe was the last light left burning. It sits in the lobby like an airport quick service stand that learned a few big words and decided it was sophisticated. The desserts and sandwiches on display looked wonderful, the kind of food you might photograph before reality sets in. The glass case promised a feast for the eyes and a famine for the soul. I ordered a meatball sandwich on toasted ciabatta, a small bag of chips, and a soda. The total was just shy of thirty dollars, which made me nostalgic for a time when that kind of money could buy you hope. The meatballs were dense and flavorless, like someone had wrung all the joy out of them. The sauce was red and nothing more. The bread was there, technically, but it felt like a prop. Each bite filled me up while emptying something else inside me. The two employees behind the counter seemed deeply committed to doing as little as possible. Taking my order was an inconvenience. Serving it was a punishment. They moved with the urgency of people who had already decided that nothing really matters, and perhaps they were right. Tazza Cafe might be fine for a coffee or a pastry. The coffee smelled decent, even at 6 PM. The cakes and pastries looked lovely and harmless. But for anything more substantial, for anything meant to feel like dinner, it is a place best remembered as the only option when there are no options left.

We chose the lemon and vanilla coconut slices. The coconut cake was covered toasted coconut and the layers contained a pineapple filling. The layers were moist and the cake amazing! The lemon cake was not a slice, but a two layer round with lemon cake and filling topped with a lemon mousse. That was amazing as well.
