Review of Harry's Finer Foods

I really wanted to love this place, the atmosphere...

I really wanted to love this place, the atmosphere is wonderful and thoughtful and it's right near my apartment so I envisioned becoming a regular. The first iffy thing happened when my husband asked what toppings come on their burger, the person helping us couldn't answer confidently and ended up failing to mention an ingredient my husband doesn't like so he ended up barely eating any of his burger. I ordered one of their specials, a pork chop. The pork chop was well cooked and it was a huge portion of food for the price. What I really didn't enjoy was how overwhelming the plate was. It came with kimchi potato salad which while my favorite part of the dish, was more like cold mashed potatoes. It also came with sauerkraut (so now I've got two fermented cabbage things on my plate), a cooked tomato and onion mixture, asparagus, plus a sweet tomato jam, plus a ridiculous amount of chopped chives. It was like they couldn't decide what toppings to put on the dish so they just added everything they could think of. My pork chop was literally buried all of the toppings. Each option tasted great by itself with the pork, but all of it and together was a confusing mess.

I would probably go back to try their brunch options or just for an order of the fries and dipping sauce, but my husband and I were both disappointed by our plates during this visit and if Harry's were any further away I likely wouldn't consider going back and taking another gamble at all.
