Mothers' Day Brunch was amazing! Food,drinks, service all of it. So glad the weather was gorgeous and we could enjoy the outside patio and play some games. Absolutely love this place.​ read more

I feel like this is one of the many spots throughout the metro area that has spent all its investment on making the aesthetics absolutely lovely, which it is and which is a huge part of the experience, of course, but like many of the restaurants lately the service and quality of menu items is less than expected. Don't get me wrong, I totally get that stress that many restaurants are under in getting quality employees, let alone enough employees to run a shift and understanding that I am very forgiving about maybe a little extra time it takes to take your order or get your food out. That wasn't the issue here. No one took an order until we asked 3 times, which even in the most forgiving situations is unacceptable. I'm trying to give you money yo and it was early. Food wise, when you read the menu it all sounds spectacular, but my friends ordered a few items and they both said that it was quite flavorless and honestly that's how I felt about my drink. Switched to beer after. Speakeasy implies a level of expertise in cocktails not sugary run of the mill. Like I said in my opening salvo, this is a beautiful location. I would love to think that this a great spot to rent out of an event or party but I will be honest, I'm not sure what kind of experience you will be getting. Attention detail doesn't seem to be their strong suit, if you want an example, check out their website and look at their hours. What's going on with Thursday? read more

I made a reservation for 10 people. I got there a little early to make sure everything was ok. People kind of trickled in. Eight of us ordered. Person 9 and 10 came a little later. My dinner, and only mine took 45 minutes. Person 9 and 10 ,who arrived 30 minutes after me, got their food before me. I asked for the manager. I was told there is no manager. I was also told that they would not comp my meal. I sent it back since members of my group were already leaving. This business has been open a few years. The bugs should be worked out by now. read more

Harrison’s Speakeasy - Food and Drinks were amazing - Restaurants Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

Amazing atmosphere and vibe. Love the ambience. Food was pretty bland and basic. For this to be a speakeasy, the drinks were very underwhelming and disappointing. My Apple pie espresso martini tasted like apple pie almond creamer no hint of espresso or alcohol. I'm not sure what alcohol they use but my old-fashioned tasted watered down. I would only come back to this place for a beer and their cute outdoor patio. My server was very sweet and kind. read more

Harrison’s Speakeasy - Apple pie, old-fashioned and apple pie espresso martini - Restaurants Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

Cool vibe and ambiance, poor service and not very good food. Made a reservation for a beautiful, sunny, semi-warm weekend. Arrived, only 2 other guests in the entire place.... guess that was a bad sign. We asked to sit outside. While the games and setup are cool, it was kind of a mess, toppled over tress/plants, pool balls and bean bags for corn hole MIA and took over 30 mins for someone to bring them out....again 4 people in the whole place. Ordered drinks and an app, drinks took FOREVER. Again, no one at the bar! Server comes back and informs us can't make the app gluten free despite it being labeled as GF on the menu. Order meals, once again took.over 45 mins to get our food. My fish was over cooked, collard greens bland and under cooked and mashed potatoes were ice cold. My husband liked his burger but overall it was disappointing and we probably won't return. read more

We came here on Father's Day for dinner and it was not crowded. We sat inside and the decor is nice. They have games and activities outside that looked fun. Husband ordered a beer (beware they only have 4 taps). I ordered the spritzer mocktail and it was very good! I ordered the boneless wings and truffle fries. They were good but overpriced chicken nuggets. The menu said they were $8 and the bill said $10 for 6 nuggets and the truffle fries were $10. Husband ordered the fish and chips and loved them. There was no baby changing station in the bathroom, so we had to change the baby in the car. read more

Nice spot, good food, vibe is nice. Lots to do on the patio - see pics. Lots of interesting options for food; egg salad on a burger? Drinks were okay. Happy hour on Sundays include 1/2 off bottles of wine and charcuterie boards. Service was decent - King was a gem but he was overwhelmed at times since he was the only server for a bit and I think there was only 1 bartender too. read more

Restaurants have an contractual obligation to inform customers when menu items are alacarte. When we received the bill we learned the bill was increased $23. This included taxes. Alacarte notice was never posted, printed or verbalized. And that's on EVERYTHING. Food was ok. Except coffee size was 2-4oz. Yes, very tiny cups. read more

Cute little spot. Decor was nice, and the menu was pretty large. Drinks are advertised on the menu as having 2 oz pours. So yeah, one will be plenty. The night of my visit, they had music. The singer was well... interesting. It felt like a Saturday night live skit. Food was good and prices very reasonable. For an appetizer had the pretzel bites. The serving size was large. The beer cheese it came with was only ok. read more

Harrison’s Speakeasy - 8 oz filet - Restaurants Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

This place is trash. We used to be regulars here, but it's way too inconsistent, and there is way too much drama with the owner. Owner/manager is usually bitching at someone at the end of the bar. I've heard way too much unenjoyable drama, from employees, staff and the owner to be reason enough to never come back, but worse than that, the drinks are mediocre, and the food sucks. Their old fashioneds are meh, and inconsistent. The bartenders are spotty at best. Nick is pretty good, but he's fed up with ownership too. He's the only person there that can make a proper Spanish coffee. They're incapable of getting even the most basic, classic cocktails right on a consistent basis, and a lot of their ingredients are store bought bullshit. We had a Spanish coffee served to us cold when Nick wasn't working... not like, sat around too long, luke warm... ice cold, and the waitress tried to say "yea, that's how we generally serve them, do you want us to heat it up?"... uh, no... I want you to make it properly... We were told that if we want a properly garnished Spanish coffee, we should bring our own cinnamon and sugar, because they're regularly out. We were served a chocolate strawberry tart, that was obviously cut with a knife that had previously cut onions. It was gross. When we brought it to the owner/manager's attention they just said "really? we're sorry..." No comp, no replacement... Their dinner menu is garbage. The last chicken dish I ordered (Speakeasy Chicken) had my stomach in knots, likely due to cross contamination. They regularly overcook their steaks. Calamari is small, overly breaded garbage. There isn't anything on the food menu worth ordering. I can't believe the place is still in business. read more

Came here to try something new. I ordered a very strong tequila cocktail. Be forewarned, they do 2oz pours. The pretzel bites were good, not a fan of the cheese dip. I did enjoy the fish and chips. Overall, the food was decent. The reason for the 3/5 stars was the live music, and the hostess and server were on their phones a lot and seemed like they were in a bad mood. Parking was easy, no issues there. read more

I didn't have high expectations for Harrison's Speakeasy, but I was happily proven wrong. The restaurant itself is well decorated, as the "speakeasy" theme is prevalent. I don't want to spoil what makes the bathrooms unique, but it's definitely something to see. The outdoor area features a large chess set and corn hole. Upon walking in, we were barely greeted by the hostess. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there. On the flip side, our server, Cassandra, was attentive and professional. The lavender martini was my favorite of the 3 drinks I tasted. The metro parkway was well made. The bathtub gin had a strong ginger taste, but went down nonetheless... and yes, you get to keep the rubber duck. As for the food, everything I tasted was somewhere between above average and amazing. The pretzel bites and pineapple baked brie cheese were both pretty good. The blackberry, basil, and ricotta pizza was to die for. It was honestly one of the best pizzas I've had locally. Both the Harrison burger and mac & cheese chicken sandwich are worth ordering. I did prefer the burger over the chicken sandwich. The orecchiette pasta's presentation and flavor were equally impressive. The fish and chips were good, and didn't have that typical frozen look to them. However, the portion size was a little disappointing. Of the 3 desserts I tasted, the chocolate lava cake was my favorite. Both the cheese cake and the pistachio & ricotta cake were good, as well. This wasn't the best restaurant I've ever been to, but it's easily one of the best I've been to on Jefferson. read more

When we first sat down we were given 4 glasses of warm water. We had to ask for ice. The drinks took too long to get. We got 3 out of the 4 meals we ordered and the waitress came back to say that the Salmon would be another 5 minutes or so when everyone else was basically done eating. So my husband didn't get to eat a meal because it took too long and everyone else was done eating. Usually a restaurant will bring all the meals at once. Bad service. The food was decent. They need to improve on wait staff. read more

Harrison’s Speakeasy - My steak!!! - Restaurants Near Me - Harrison Township, Michigan

This place has such a cool, cozy atmosphere! There are tables, booths, & bar seating but there are also couches with coffee tables for seating. They do have an outdoor area that looks really fun with a life size chess board, but the few times we've been in have been cold or rainy so we usually hangout by the fireplace. Last time, we had their Mac n cheese which was really good but could have use something added like bacon or breadcrumbs for some more texture & flavor. Overall it was still pretty good! The campfire old fashion-ish is super tasty & looks cute with the toasted marshmallow garnish. The brown sugar bourbon espresso martini is a hands down must order every single time because it really is just THAT delicious! The service is always fast & friendly as well! read more

Hmmmmm how to review this place ? Soooo much potential- 9pm reservation. Hostess was incredibly RUDE- threw down menus- left. Place was nearly empty. Patiently waited 15 minutes. Finally waiter Luke to rescue. He apologized. Took drink order . Had to try the bathtub gin drink. He recommended the speak easy chicken & Cajun pasta. , along with house salad . After long wait entrees came . Luke showed us his slip for salad - never appeared. Dinners tasted very good. If they can go from being totally disorganized- will be a hit place. read more

Definitely will be back to try the swings and food!!! Drinks were good and loved the Peaches n Cream very delicious and definitely recommend. First time here and will be back again and telling my friends and family about this place!!! read more

Food is awesome, the atmosphere is awesome and the patio is perfect for the kids. The bathroom was a little fun touch.

We were able to get right in and sit at the bar. Great service and friendly staff. Although it is a little cramped as you walk in, it really opens up as you go into the restaurant. There were a lot of people but it didn't feel overcrowded. The menu had a lot of options and I went with a burger. The burger was ordered medium and cooked to perfection. The fries were also very good. There is an extensive liquor selection and they definitely know how to make a cocktail. read more

Fantastic food service and atmosphere. So happy to have a great restaurant in the neighborhood. My new go to when I want to impress someone.

Not what I was expecting at all. The food was just ok, and the drinks too. The pistachio cheesecake was NOT good. Fairly expensive also.

We loved our valentines dinner here. A little issue with the service but our waitress was new. We weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal, but she was so kind even offered to pay for our meal but we turned her down and gave her a big tip to let her know we believe in her. The food was yummy! I'd come back for everything we ordered. The calamari was tender, crispy. The fish and chips were perfect and huge. Steak was perfectly cooked. A little expensive but we enjoyed it and that's all that matters. We will be back read more

This is the only restaurant review I've ever done that starts with a recommendation to visit the bathroom. This is not a commentary on the food, which I liked. But, the food can wait. Head to the bathroom, and you will see portraits of Al Capone, and a stylish lady of the same era. Where's the door? You'll figure it out, but it's pretty cool. If your significant other gets mad at you for tricking them, don't blame me. And now, we return you to your regularly scheduled review. This is actually a review of two separate visits, since we loved it so much we came back. This location was previously the home of a neighborhood restaurant, The Pier. The cramped entryway hasn't changed, so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw the spacious interior. I'm glad they didn't go with a full on nautical theme, which I was expecting after seeing the diving suit outside. Instead, restraint was shown in the decor. It took me a while to realize that the ceiling lights were diving helmets. But who cares how cool a building is if the food doesn't deliver? Fortunately, it does. There are a variety of mixed drinks, all for $10. A real stand out is the bathtub gin, which is served in a mini bathtub with a little rubber ducky. Not only is it cute, but the packs a wallop. There's also the massively powerful Final Absolution ale, brewed by Dragonmead brewery in Warren. Very unusual to see this in any restaurant. The pretzel bites are the first clue that you are getting something you wouldn't normally get. They aren't exactly uniform size, which is a testament to the fact that they are all not only handmade, but made to order. The pretzels themselves are tasty, and the cheese dip that comes with it is an appropriate compliment, though I'm a yellow mustard kind of guy when it comes to pretzels. The service was mostly solid, except that my wife wanted dressing on the side instead of on her Caesar salad. She had to wait a few minutes while they remade the salad. The dressing has a nice tang to it. There was also a good amount of high quality chicken breast with crisp greens. It's a bit small to serve as a complete meal, but it works with other items. On our second trip, they had a creamy lamb florentine soup, which was light on the spinach, but heavy on the lamb. It's hearty and rich, with a massive amount of ground lamb, and could be a meal unto itself. Get it to share if it appears on the rotating featured items menu. We also got hush puppies. They're larger than you might expect, about pool ball sized, but they're perfectly cooked. The "voodoo sauce" that came with it isn't spicy at all, but it's tasty. I got the shrimp poboy on our first visit. Unlike just about everywhere outside of New Orleans, Harrison's gives you a generous portion of fried shrimp. The remoulade is the same as the "voodoo sauce", and it works. This is a damn good sandwich. We ordered sliders and buttered noodles from the kids menu to take home. The sliders have a wonderful beef flavor (sorry, kids, but we had to try it), and you get two of them with fries for $7. The butter noodles are excellent, also for the same price. if you have small kids, this is a great way to keep them happy without spending a lot of money. The chicken pot pie is one of the items that I'm sure people will complain about because of the price. For $22, you get a small skillet with the best chicken pot pie you've ever had. It's deconstructed, with a tasty biscuit on top of a sort of stew. But, it's not quite enough for a meal. For those complaining about the price of the dishes, I hear you. Some things, like the shrimp poboy, feel like a bargain. The mixed drinks seem just right, and some of the entrees feel a bit pricey. But, you're paying for quality and presentation here. Don't compare this to Benvenuto, the family restaurant across the street. Compare it to trendy Detroit eateries, like Lumen. Save yourself a trip downtown and go here instead. read more

Really good, happy to see a fun place in Harrison TWP. Just thought it was weird I could only get a bowl of soup with a salad not just buy a cup but if I got an entree it comes with a cup of soup. read more

Atmosphere: boat life, from swimsuits to polo's with boat shoes and flip flops (went during dinner/summer) Service: the server was great, the kitchen making the totally wrong order, taking 50 minutes from order to table and then forgetting the order again after saying something, it's astonishing this place has customers. The server made it a bit awkward by saying,' I'll pay for the wrong meal' Quality: food came out cold, wrong dish, forgot sides Drinks: they were out of things to prepare some of the selected items; ordered the lavender, best drink. Never seen a manager, they still charged for wrong items. I won't be back, it's a rotating menu with a majority of the items not available and the ones that you order, you may get something totally different then charged for it. I don't think it's the servers fault but, mistakes were made with no management oversight or retention attempt. read more

Had a 6pm reservation. We arrived about 5 minutes early. Place wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. We waited about 15 minutes after we sat down for our waiter to come over. The tables without reservations that had arrived after us had their drink and food orders taken before us. For the drinks- they were really good. We ordered a bourbon cocktail and I had the lavender martini. Generous pours. We put in our appetizer orders first as we were still debating on entrees. We ordered the cheddar jalapeño hush puppies and the tuna tartare. The hush puppies came out first- the presentation was beautiful but they were bland. No sign of cheddar or jalapeño anywhere. We had to flag our waiter down for additional sauce (which we were charged for). Now for the tuna tartare- that was a health risk. It arrived 10-15 minutes after the hush puppies. It was extremely low quality tuna (definitely frozen). The only taste on the tuna tartare was "fishiness". It was served alongside 4 cold, pieces of grilled pita. We decided to cut our loses and get the check. read more

We made dinner reservations for 4 at 0630 on a Friday. After being seated we were not greeted by staff, after twenty minutes we flagged down a waitress. She apologized and immediately took our drink order and said she would locate our waiter. She came back with our drinks and said she would serve us. Turns out she was a great waitress. The food was mediocre at best. The jambalaya had a metallic taste, I'm guessing they cooked it in an aluminum pan. Very disappointed overall except for the waitress. I had the fish n chips, which were just ok. read more

So there's an up charge to get a carrot ginger side salad. Bitter lettuce, limp pile of shredded carrots and a dressing that is creamy with no ginger. Disgusting! The calamari is not bad. I would get that again. Frozen bagged vegetables as a side. Again yuck! The butter baked cod is definitely not baked with butter. No flavor other than the capers and scallions with another cream sauce. Cream is not flavor! Herb, spices, and caramelization are. The lamb was good according to my partner. Mine was bad enough that I ate a small amount and left the rest. Our waiter as nice, but he was too busy. I guess there is not enough staff. I like the vibe, but the food falls so short. read more

First of all, I'm angry that a place like this is in Harrison twp instead of Chesterfield. Second, because of that darn selfridge Air Force base, it took me fifteen minutes to get there when it could potentially be about five if I had a straight shot. Now that I got my true pain points out of the way, let's move on to the real story. The place is beautiful; I read a lot of complaints about "dim lighting" and it makes no sense to me. It's so inviting and so clean and it's a place that allows you to have a quiet conversation. I had the campfire old fashion-ish and the applewood smoked old fashion-ish. They were delightful. My buddy got the cranberry margarita and that was delicious as well. The food was as follows; calamari, truffle fries, apple & Brie stuffed chicken and filet. I must say the absolute best part was the calamari. I know for sure any future visit will definitely include that. The voodoo aioli is insane, I took some of those truffle fries and dipped it in the sauce and it was magical. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that apple and Brie chicken. I barely got any apple and the Brie was almost nonexistent. I usually stay away from chicken dishes when I'm out to dinner but I love a good Brie and it just was not there. The chicken was still good so don't shy away from getting it if you want chicken. But the richness and creaminess of Brie wasn't present and that was the only disappointment. But we are coming back in the summer time to throw some cornhole bags for sure! Got to meet the owner and she was very cool, but if you're reading this, can you make something happen in chesterfield/new Baltimore?? Thanks! read more

We ended up at this place because they have live music. The initial impression wasn't great - three different staff members came up to us at the hostess stand and to each we said that we have reservations and each would walk away and not come back. After 15 min someone finally told us they will sit us at a table that was already set for us literally right behind hostess stand. I have no idea why they had to make us wait. But once this was straightened out - we ended up pleasantly surprised with the food! In fact their Jalapeños cheddar hush puppies are absolutely amazing. Portion is big enough to share between 2-3 people. I also had a burger and it was fantastic! I asked for the meat to be medium and it came out just as I was hoping for. Great flavor too. The speakeasy theme gave a nice touch to the bathroom entrance experience . Is it a portrait or is it a door? Bottom line - service is slow but once you are seated - food is definitely worth it. I hope the restaurant figures out their staffing situation because the kitchen seems to be done right! read more

We have been wanting to come here since before they opened their doors! We just had a hard time coordinating it in with our schedules. Today was the day!

I loved the atmosphere here and would recommend this as a place nearby to bring out of town guests. We absolutely loved it here and will be back over and over! read more

I love the look and feel of this place. It truly feels like a speakeasy and the decor is super cute and fun. I came on a Sunday night with a friend. The music was sooo loud, we had to shout to hear each other. Our waitress was friendly, but quite slow. We ordered cocktails to start. I got the lavender cocktail and it wasn't that great. My friend's cocktail wasn't great either. I ordered the Harrison's burger with chips. It was just okay. It tasted like it was missing something. I considered putting ketchup on it but there were no condiments on the table and the waitress wasn't around, nor did she check on us for quite some time. The chips looked homemade but also weren't anything to write home about. It was disappointing because the menu was fairly small, and usually a small menu means they specialize in what's on there. My friend got fish and chips, which she said was okay. At one point, I asked for a refill on my water and the waitress just brought a jug of water and set it on the table. It made me feel like asking for a refill was an inconvenience to her so she just wanted me to pour my own. Also there was no ice and I love my ice. The water glasses are small- I think bigger glasses would be a good start. My friend was a little annoyed with the waitress because she spilled some of my friend's cocktail on our table and did not say or do anything about it. We just cleaned it up ourselves. She also spilled a French fry onto her lap when she put her entree down. Again, she didn't apologize or otherwise acknowledge it happened. We were neglected through much of our meal and then randomly checked on like three times really close together. On the way out no one said anything or acknowledged us. Very unwelcoming feeling. Overall, I was disappointed in the food and service. I really want to love this place, so I'd be willing to give it another try. But not in any rush to go back. read more
