We chose Harry's Savoy Grill for our anniversary, hoping for a great dining experience, but unfortunately, we left disappointed. The food was inconsistent, the dress code was confusing and not enforced, and the service was underwhelming. For the price, there are much better options if you're willing to drive a bit farther.
Overall Ratings:

Restaurant Atmosphere:
The restaurant looks impressive from the outside, but the interior feels dated. When we made our reservation—and even received a reminder 24 hours before—we were informed of a "Smart Casual" dress code. However, upon arrival, nearly half the guests were in jeans and t-shirts, making it clear that the policy is not enforced.
Service:
We were seated promptly, but our waitress lacked engagement, and the service felt very average. In a fine dining establishment at this price point, I would expect at least a brief rundown of the menu or daily specials—neither of which were provided.
What We Ordered:
-New England Clam Chowder – Just okay, and served lukewarm.
-French Onion Soup – Overly salty and tasted like it was microwaved.
-Harry’s Signature Filet Oscar – While the steak itself was cooked perfectly, the béarnaise sauce was just average. We substituted asparagus for broccoli rabe, which was completely bland, lacking even a sprinkle of salt or pepper. The "jumbo lump" crab meat was a letdown—it tasted like canned crab meat, lacked freshness, and felt like an afterthought on the plate. For a $70 "signature dish," this was extremely disappointing.
-Prime Rib – This was actually very good, and the dipping sauce complemented it well. However, it only came with au gratin potatoes—no vegetables, which felt incomplete for an entrée at this level.
Final Thoughts:
The experience reminded me of Creed’s in King of Prussia—a restaurant that tries to be fine dining but seems unsure of its identity. The lack of dress code enforcement, average food quality, and poor attention to detail make it hard to justify the high prices. I noticed more staff standing around than actually serving guests, and our water was only refilled once throughout the meal.
