    Love the Harlequin for its reliable drink, service, vibe, and location. It is one of our pre-theater dining locations that never disappoints. We happened to be there for happy hour and got a deal on oysters and a cocktail. All the food was quite good, the oysters, tartar, octopus, and pasta. Beef in the pasta was not as tender as we would have liked, but the rest of the meal was spot on. Wine by the glass offered a good Pinot and Malbec.

    The service was excellent and the food was very good. The atmosphere was fun but the one thing I would suggest is music that more meets the ambience of an old building. Maybe jazz or blues or something other than rap music and pop. Otherwise we had a wonderful time.

    Phil was great with helping us set up our marketing happy hour. He was flexible with the changes we made, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The event itself was set up perfectly, and the service was outstanding. Thank you for hosting our group, we will absolutely be back again.

    They kept the kitchen open, specifically for us, after we had a performance! Such a life saver in a city where finding good food after 9pm is such a struggle! Thank you Harlequin!
