TRIP's Review of Harper's

Harper's is a very popular restaurant—you'll see everything from mothers with their kids to business suits and ties—and the reasons are simple: the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, the servers are friendly and efficient, and the food is invariably good with no need to be pretentious.

This is hearty American fare with a decidedly creative slant. Start with one of the meal-sized salads or daily scratch-made soups such as southwestern torilla or Colorado chili. The wood fired pizzas—consider the Sicilian with olive oil, herbs, seasoned chicken, pepperoni, kalamata olives, and fontina and mozzarella cheeses—are always crowd pleasers, along with unique sandwiches like the portobello mushroom with Carolina cole slaw, provolone, and chipotle mustard served with sweet potato fries.

Pasta, chicken, beef, pork, and seafood are all represented among entrees here, with standouts like the Danish baby back ribs, tender and juicy with Harper's proprietary barbecue sauce!
