This was one of those experiences that far exceeded every expectation, in every way. Absolutely…read moreworth the 20 minute drive from Portsmouth for our anniversary dinner. And downtown Suffolk is just beautiful and quaint, it feels friendly and idyllic. *Ambience: Extremely comfortable, super approachable, but also refined with lots of wood and brick, but open and airy, and lots of light. You walk in to a cocktail and bar area, with an incredible painted sign on the brick wall behind the bar, that is a total throwback. The bar is incredibly comfortable and open and warm feeling. There are hardwood tables and beautiful booths along with a private dining area in the back. Really couldn't ask for or want for a more comfortable environment. *Service: absolutely stellar, super friendly staff, our server could not have been nicer or more genuine, or had more of an "ownership attitude" as if the restaurant meant everything to her, and so did us being there. She knew everything on the menu, had great recommendations, and insured we were consistently taken care of. She truly missed nothing. Harper, the owner, came over to check on us and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. He couldn't have been nicer or kinder or more humble. Service was outstanding. *Food & Drinks: The food! The drinks! Oh man! I've been a "Yelp Elite Member" for almost 10 years and the food here at hT is near the top of all my reviews, hundreds of them. The highest quality ingredients, impeccably curated, ingeniously but simply paired, created with a true love for the art of cooking and the true joy of the consumer. This was obvious. We started with a Mainstream Manhattan and Old Fashioned from the bar. No ordinary bartender, she's a true mixologist/professional. Both drinks were excellent, no "simple syrup" used here, raw sugar cubes melted into the finest spirits, yummm! We order brussels sprouts from the appetizer menu everywhere we go and compare them. None have ever come close to our favorite, for a dozen years, until now. These were crispy on the outside, but juicy inside, flash fried to an al dente bite and finished (almost injected) with a cherry vinegar glaze that permeated every bite with sweet, tart perfection. We also started with the vibrant Camden County May Pea & Truffle Toast which was like a celebration of spring with a fresh, grilled baguette topped with fancy Italian truffle cheese (insane!), sweet tender may peas, and fresh pea shoots, all drizzled with olive oil for a fresh, earthy, and simple bite that captured the essence of this farm-to-table cuisine. For entrees we ordered the Ben Johnson's Soft Shell Crabs with remoulade and the Brown Sugar Brined Porkchop with pimp cheese, grits, and chard tomatoes with a side of hand cut fries with roast shallot mayo. Everything was stellar, no exceptions. I can honestly say this was **the best pork chop I've ever eaten, ever.** Tender, sweet, meaty and paired perfectly with the creamy cheese grits and the tang and smoke of the charred tomatoes. Ridiculously good! See my photos, too bad they don't come with "taste-o-vision", because, wow! The hand cut, skin on, double fried potatoes and roast shallot mayo were fantastic. As if that wasn't enough food, they also brought us stone ground cornbread, with a massive slab of rough salted butter, steamy, warm, soft, buttery perfection. I'm ready to go back now! *Value & Overall: I posted pictures of all menus and all prices. Their spirits and mixed drink selections from the bar are incredible. The food, service and ambience simply couldn't have been better. Prices, as you'll see, are exactly in line for what you get and an excellent value. Portions on everything were excellent and we ended up taking home quite a bit of food, which was also stellar the next day. I absolutely cannot recommend Harper's Table highly enough. This establishment, all parts of it, truly earn a five star review across the board with no exceptions. Have no hesitation, make a reservation, go, it will become an instant favorite.

Visiting family on the east coast and celebrating a new home. We were looking for a nice local spot…read moreand came across Harper's Table. From the reviews, it looked very enticing so we decided to take a chance here as opposed to venturing out to the bigger cities nearby. We arrived about an hour before closing and were seated immediately in a booth. Our server, Tally, greeted us soon after and offered some waters and menu suggestions since it was our first visit there. She did a really thorough job of explaining the menu. We placed an order for fried oysters appetizer and needed a few more minutes to decide on our entrees. We discussed sharing a few since we really couldn't decide. After a short time we then ordered our entrees. I ordered the Prime Ribeye, served with the "original" potato gratin and red wine braised onions. Amazing flavor! Julie ordered the Smoke In Chimneys Trout served filet with skin over Carolina gold rice, pink eyed peas and hope for Suffolk garden okra. Sara ordered the applewood smoked baby back ribs and requested the potato gratin. Finally, Larry ordered the Last Soft Shelled Crabs. Also added a pink lady apple salad to share. More on the food later. This is where our evening took a bit of a downward turn. Tally brought some plates and a sauce for our fried oysters appetizer. We had waited almost 30 to 40 minutes since being seated and ordering the oysters. After a bit of a wait, we didn't see Tally again so we questioned the delay with a few other employees because the table behind us had been seated well after our initial order and then soon after received.... three orders of fried oysters! We were still waiting. Another server whom we inquired about the delay came back and said they were working on our order and a manager would stop by to discuss the situation. A few minutes later another person arrived and presented a serving of fried oysters. Julie asked if they were the manager to which she replied, "Yes". It didn't appear as if she was going to discuss anything with us until Julie inquired is she was the manager. We proceeded to explain our discontent with the situation. She replied that our order was just placed a few minutes ago. Why did our server bring plates so much earlier? Why did she wait to place the order of our appetizers until after our full entree order was received? It was explained by Jessie, the manager, that all orders are placed and "fired" or initiated with the kitchen, together and entrees would follow appetizers being served at an appropriate time. While Jessie did apologize, it sounded like she was making excuses for the delay rather than owning any actual existence of the long delay. That didn't really make much sense since we ordered our appetizers well before with the purpose of having them served sooner since we needed time to review the menu for our entrees. Anyway, from that point on, we rarely saw our server. Other employees did stop in periodically to see how our meal was progressing. The website had a message from the owner stating, " honest seasonal cooking and remarkable hospitality" and "a memorable hospitality experience". Sadly, our experience lacked just that from our server. She never mentioned a miscommunication or any lapse regarding the food ordering/ delivering process throughout the rest of our meal. Not once! Thats strange since a manager was involved. Our visit was only "memorable" due to a lack of true "hospitality". Anyway, other than the lack of personal service from our server after ordering, the food was overall good. My steak was a little more medium rather than medium rare. But still tender, juicy and flavorful. The rib meat was good and the soft shell crab was delicious as was the pink lady apple salad. The trout was mostly flavorless and needed something to bring out any memorable taste. I just wish the service throughout our meal matched the food quality. We saw other members of the team more than our server after speaking to the manager. Not sure if that was by design or just happened that way. Jessie did stop by after payment and present a small gift card as a nice gesture due to the situation. Not sure if I'll give them another try as I do appreciate local spots and want to support them whenever possible. Just difficult when we're treated as an afterthought by our server. Keep on Yelp'n!

Overall this is a solid restaurant…read more.. My husband and I visited this restaurant I believe a year or two ago we came one night for dinner and everything was delicious I'm not a big soul food person so every now and again I'll go out with my husband for a soul food dinner. Even though our first visit here was about 2 years ago we did visit this past Saturday with two other couples to celebrate our husbands for husband appreciation day which is the third Saturday in April always. We had reservations for Saturday at noon and we arrived right on time and our space was already set for us. Our waitress/bartender Alize took care of us... very personable ...very sweet... customer service was a 10 out of 10. I will make mention ahead of time I did order cornbread later on and I never got it :( Omg! I did call but no answer so I figured I would just go ahead and charge it to the game but I was definitely looking forward to trying the cornbread with my grits. The ambience inside is definitely welcoming the music is not blasting definitely a comfortable volume. The parking can be an issue but we didn't have one. Parking was available on the street and it was only a short walk for us to get to the restaurant. Our meals out of the six of us present I believe at least half of us ordered the catfish one person ordered the turkey chops and that was basically the gist of our meals. I don't think anybody ordered any straight up breakfast food but I will say everybody was in agreeance that this meal and dining experience was amazing! We will definitely be back soon and we definitely recommend you trying out this restaurant. My meal in particular I had the grilled catfish and created my grits with honey jalapeno and butter and oh my goodness everything was good from beginning to end. Our drinks were top-notch as well! The bartender even made up a drink for one of the wives at the table. She didn't know what she wanted but wanted to be surprised and she was pleasantly surprised she ordered another one. Our husbands enjoyed their surprise brunch even though they had some kind of inkling that something was happening because we did get shirts for them to wear to match each other... Such a fun Saturday and a great dining experience by all highly recommend you give them a try if you're in the area! Have fun and enjoy life :)

The bread and salad were good and the crab balls were decent but that's about all the positives I can say. We ordered new york strip and delmonico and wondered why the server repeatedly asked us if we wanted steak sauce. No good steak house needs steak sauce. Well when we took the first bite we figured out why, the meat didn't have a spec of seasoning on it. His was overcooked also. I ordered succotash and it tasted straight out of a can AND was cold! The server asked if we wanted boxes and was shocked when we said no. Left both our meals on the table, paid and left never to return again. I don't get the hype at all. Go if you want, maybe your experience will be better.

Nevertheless, Da'Lish to the rescue, and they did not disappoint! I heard of this place, and had it on my radar to try. It's only been open a few months now, but seeing the menu, this place is tempting. Well the wait is over, yesterday, my mother and I dined her for a late lunch and everything was on point. Our server, Rachelle (spelling maybe off) was friendly and greeted us immediately. My mother and I already knew our purpose... dine her for restaurant week so we selected items from the three course menu. We both had the 15 bean soup. Main dish - my mom had the pulled chicken and ribs - myself - the strawberry salad with salmon. Dessert - they were sold out of the cobbler, it was peach. Therefore, the only other option was cheesecake. However, we could choose our drizzle. Carmel for me and raspberry for my mom. My mom enjoyed every bite of her meal. With me... while I enjoyed my meal, I was a little disappointed in the salad. I did ask the contents and it was missed that onions are in the salad... yuck! I do not like raw onions. I did my best to eat around them and overall it was good, but I much would have loved it without the red onions. I asked to have my salmon blackened and they were able to deliver! My salmon was super tasty! I did eat a few strawberries, nuts and spinach leaves. I did try ribs and pulled chicken and both were tasty! My mom loved the toast that came with the meal. She even asked for more. The soup was flavorful and we wanted more, but kept it cute. The owner Dennis came out to talk with us and he was an absolute pleasure. I read the story on the menu - it was a good read. So I had an idea who the guy was when he walked out. Easy to talk to and he said he is the cook also! We definitely complimented him on everything. I even mentioned I wanted to try the jalapeno jerky he mentioned in the write up and to my surprise he had some for me to try! Da'Lish!!! I love jalapenos!! And this jerky had the spice and a hint of sweetness. An awesome combination!!! I highly recommend you stop in and dine because this hidden treasure is sure to delight you. From starters to dessert, definitely come to Suffolk and check them out. I understand they offer brunch on Sundays only from 9am to 2pm. I think I just might come here again very soon. The hospitality and food - they have what it takes! Wishing you all the best! Da'Lish it is!! Plenty of parking as this restaurant is located inside the Suffolk Cultural Arts building. Not hard to find at all. Come for a real treat! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. You can sit at a 2 or 4 person table and bar seating is available as well. Outdoor dining is an option too! Have fun and enjoy life :)
