On a whim while in town on vacation we decided to stop by for drinks at the bar. Julia and Jimmy were great and we enjoyed it so much we ended up ordering the special dinner (after Jimmy described it). We haven’t been able to stop talking about the wonderful service and delicious food. Thanks for making it an enjoyable evening for my husband and I.

I celebrated my birthday at Harper's last night, and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable – attentive and personal without being intrusive. I think the waiter's name was Cody. He went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special. The food was equally outstanding. I had the elk tenderloin, which was cooked to perfection and incredibly flavorful. Our friends raved about their steaks and salmon, saying they were cooked exactly as ordered. The ambience was perfect for an intimate celebration – elegant and inviting. If you're looking for a top-notch steakhouse experience with exceptional service and a memorable atmosphere, I highly recommend Harper's.

Harper’s is definitely the #1 steak house in Middle Tennessee hands down. I highly recommend visiting the next time you’re in Nashville. Everything on the menu is delicious and well prepared you will not be disappointed. I’ve found my new favorite steak house to bring all my friends and family to now. And I would recommend the Elk Tenderloin with the Lobster Mac & Cheese on the side. And don’t forget to order the butter cake for dessert you’ll thank me later!!!!

Hands down one of the best restaurants in town! My friends and I are chefs and so we are usually hard to please but EVERYTHING our table ordered was AMAZING. The drinks were also great with the perfect amount of alcohol. I just wish they put less ice in some of them because that felt like a rip off. That was the only bad feat. Our server Clifton was very nice and accommodating despite us being there pretty late and taking a while to get settled in. I will DEFINITELY be returning. This spot has been on my radar to try since their grand opening and I’m happy I finally got the chance to stop by. My next visit will be brunch as I heard it’s just as amazing as dinner.

My husband took me here to celebrate our 15th anniversary. From the moment we walked in, it was amazing. The front desk was so sweet and understanding that we got a little lost getting there ☺️. They sat us down at our table and the epic experience began. Our waiter Gage(I hope I’m saying it correctly) was such an informative guy. He constantly checked in to make sure we were okay. My husband and I order the bang bang shrimp for a starter 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Then we both ordered the boneless ribeye steak. They were cooked to perfection. Melt in your mouth. The potatoes were good and warm all the way to the end. I highly recommend this place to enjoy a wonderful time and meal. Not only for the meal but also the vibe. I’m very big on the atmosphere of a place an feeling warm. While sitting there I was like what would put the cherry on top off this ambience would be a fireplace 😁😁. Harper’s just had an overall welcoming vibe. Before my husband and I left we decided that we were definitely coming back. Thank you Harper’s for helping us celebrate our anniversary!!!!🥰🥰

This was a wonderful place to have a nice dinner and relax. Ask for Jack when you go. He was an excellent server and had the best recommendations. Be sure to save room for desert. Get the butter cake! Steaks here are some of the best I've ever had!

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Harper’s! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our anniversary celebration. Our server, Adam, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel special. He provided excellent recommendations and ensured that everything was perfect throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were outstanding, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients and attention to detail were a priority in the kitchen. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly crafted and refreshing. To top off the evening, the staff surprised us with a special anniversary dessert, complete with sparklers, which made the night even more memorable. It was such a thoughtful touch and truly showcased the restaurant’s commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for its guests.
