    We go for the risotto--it is outstanding, with a flavour to die for. And we always explore the dessert of the day--usually delicious. Lovely, friendly but professional staff

    Harvey's food is always superb. We have been eating here for years and are always impressed with how the chef can make something simple taste so wonderful. We both had the scallop & pancetta gnocchi with a beautiful green salad but I often order their Asian chicken salad which has to be the best one in the world!

    Harvey’s has become something of a Brisbane establishment. It has a reputation for consistent high quality food and excellent service provided by professional staff. Harveys offers good value for money in my view. My fuse and I dive there on a regular basis and are never disappointed. An excellent wine list is also a standout with a good selection of reasonably priced quality wines, beers and spirits. Breakfast is at Harveys is without doubt the best in town. PJ, the chef, makes the best scrambled eggs in Brisbane. Like Paris mash, these are Paris eggs. My favourite restaurant in Brisbane. Highly recommended.
