Harvey's

All-Day Harvey’s Brings Falls Church Homey Comfort Foods With Local Flair | Eater DC

"Stepping into Harvey’s, I was struck by a chalkboard wall that artfully lists the names of local breweries, wineries, farmers, meat purveyors, and even construction partners — a clear sign of its commitment to sourcing local. This family-friendly, 48-seat all-day American eatery and market from first-time owner and Virginia native Thomas Harvey (formerly executive chef at Partisan and Red Apron Butcher and most recently with Tuskie’s) features a 12-person bar facing an open kitchen, a 60-seat patio, and walk-in–only service; hours run roughly 7 a.m. to 9–10 p.m. Monday through Saturday with Sunday service coming soon. Breakfast offers La Colombe coffee and four breakfast sandwiches (including the “Sweet Fire” with scrambled eggs, fried chicken, pimiento cheese, and hot honey) plus build-your-own options with toppings like smoked tomato chutney and IPA-ioli. A combined lunch/dinner menu ($12–$28) leans comforting and pub-style — fried calamari, fire-roasted onion dip, Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese, Caesar salad, burgers, pastrami sandwiches — alongside mains such as spaghetti carbonara, porter-braised Seven Hills beef short ribs, chicken Cobb salad, and steak frites, with veggie-friendly dishes like a Portobello mushroom “steak” and royal trumpet “scallops,” all served on decorative vintage plates. The market sells the same local ingredients featured on the menu, including Seven Hills beef, bacon and charcuterie from D.C.’s Epicuring, and produce from Sylvanaqua Farms; wines ($25–$80) can be enjoyed in-house for a small corkage fee, and a subscription wine club (two bottles for $45) debuts in May. Harvey sprinkles personal family touches throughout — a black-and-white floor tile modeled after his grandmother’s kitchen and a honey-sweetened cake recipe from his mother-in-law — and his culinary background stretches back to cooking in Purcellville in 2004, work as a personal chef, training at the Academie de Cuisine, and stints under Frank Ruta and Fabio Trabbochi at now-closed Palena in Cleveland Park and Casa Luca." - Eater
