Birthday Brunch! Lovely welcome from the staff – they were amazing and patient, especially considering there were 14 of us all ordering drinks! Great choice of drinks – wine, Prosecco, vodka (Smirnoff), and cocktails! The boys had plenty of bottled beers. The food was delicious – the "Marry Me" chicken pasta was the highlight for me! The team really looked after us, even bringing out a complimentary birthday shot for our friend. The owner was front of house serving, then back in the kitchen cooking – what a lovely, hardworking lady trying to build a successful business. Well done – credit to you! We all left full and very tipsy! Thank you

Perfect spot for a god catch up with friends! We had the bottom brunch and I have to say it was the best brunch menu Iv ever had! The garlic mushroom starter was amazing, and the enchiladas was 10/10 all our plates were empty! The girls kept coming over to take drinks orders for our brunch and the cocktails wasn’t the usual weak cheap cocktails they were served in nice glasses, and tasted amazing! Highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Exceptional Food & Service! I went to Harper’s Bar & Café for my birthday in April and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We booked the bottomless brunch and from the moment we arrived, the staff made the day feel truly special. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. The food was absolutely exceptional—beautifully presented and packed with flavour. Every course was a hit, and the drinks flowed just as promised. The whole place had a fun, welcoming vibe that was perfect for celebrating. A huge thank you to Tieghan, the owner, who clearly puts so much heart into making Harper’s such a fantastic place. I felt so well looked after—it honestly made my birthday one to remember. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!
