Harley's Italian Bistro

Service is wonderful (staff was very nice), but the food and atmosphere is a kick-back to the days of Golden Girls meets Mel's diner. I began my order with a glass of cabernet. It was served in a white wine glass, thus to embrace its aroma was not a possibility. I order a small salad and veal marsala. The salad with brown edges was served with a mix of stale croutons, that were soft and damp. The veal, frozen in the center, warm on the edges was smothered in mushrooms with a base sauce tasting of apple jelly. After a meal that tasted like a tv dinner, I foolishly convinced myself to order a desert. Again I was dispointed in the lack of quaity, I received a chocolate pie straight from the freezer box (Ms. Smith's, I am confident). As I looked around, I kept waiting for Alice and Sophia to walk in charmed with the smell of grease and stories of Italy... picture it, 1980, white floor tiles, plastic grapes hanging from empty wine bottles and red table clothes, cover with a slate of glass with streaks of glass cleaner between patrons.

The warmest and friendliest staff on earth. Excellent food, bar and ambiance. They even have a patio for those who wish to smoke while they dine.

Just a quick note to say that I had visited last night, my first time... it was a very quiet night, which is apparently the norm for this establishment. Sundays are ALWAYS slow, they said... I was immediately greeted by "Justin", who also ended up being my waiter. My lucky night, I guess... this guy is loaded with personality, good looks, nice body... oh... nevermind. Back to the food... The food was very good too! The presentation of the dinner was ALMOST as nice as the server of the food. Very tasty, decent prices, I'll be back! P.S. HI JUSTIN! Thanks for the great service! :)

Great apps, good prices and friendly staff...Will be back many, many, many times...
