- BBarryvipSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat service and seating around the chef counter was a bonus. You can see all the cooking action right in front of you. The wagyu carpaccio was the highlight of the night. It just melts in your mouth. The organic pear salad was also great for sharing. However the aged duck breast and the dry-aged bone in ribeye had some tendons and chewy parts that is unable to swallow.More infoCowboy StarPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.9

- LLynnvipGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •54 reviews5.0Dined on 19 Nov 2024We were greeted nicely. I fell down on the way to the restaurant and hurt my finger. The restaurant staff offered me a bandaid and some cream. They also checked on me during our meal! That’s an excellent compliment to them! Thank you so much!More infoGreat Maple San DiegoPrice: Moderate• American• Hillcrest•4.8
- JJillSan Diego •5 reviews5.0Dined on 15 Nov 2024We cannot say enough good things about Harley Gray! Prices were terrific and very good quality! First, we sat at the bar for a drink and a beet hummus appetizer (so delicious) during happy hour. Nick, the bartender, was so welcoming and attentive. Then we sat at our table for their Live Main Lobster dinner (on Thursday nights) that was cooked to perfection, served with a side of rice. My partner also ordered a side of green beans that he loved. We were pleasantly full by the end of the meal so we didn't have room for dessert...next time! We plan to return often, especially to try their other specials!!More infoHarley Gray Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Mission Hills•4.7
