The Vanguard - Harrison

My partner and I had a fantastic date night at The Vanguard for the first time. It's definitely a restaurant worth trying, especially during the holidays. Make sure to use the parking lot on the side of the building, as parking can be challenging. Cheers!

Thursday nights in Harrison have just gotten even better with Jazz Night at the Vanguard. Every Thursday, you can enjoy live music in a cozy lounge area where you can dine, sip on drinks, and groove to the music. The food was delicious, especially the recommended burger and beer special. The drinks were satisfying and the service was excellent. In the lounge, you have to order at the bar, but staff will bring your drinks and food to you. It felt like a private mini concert, and I had a fantastic time. My only suggestion for the venue would be to have some music playing during the musicians' breaks. I will definitely be returning and bringing along more friends next time.

The food was amazing! The server was fantastic! The atmosphere was really pleasant! This is one of the top spots for food in Harrison! I will definitely return and try more dishes. It was a delightful experience.

Such a lovely place. The Vanguard. So, I'm originally in from Texas, and eventually will be relocating to the area. Since my work is relocating me to the general visicinty. This place was very welcoming. I ordered a miller lite, and some fried pickles.Both were exceptional. Also, I ended up staying and waiting for my ole lady. We ended up having dinner and a few drinks there aswell. The location of this place is pretty good. It is located around really nice apartments that appear to have been recentlybuilt. So, the young people can come, eat, drink socialize. It's convenient to the train to NYC and if it's red bulls match day,I'm sure this place does quite the business. The price was pretty reasonable. Yet, for a place looking like this, I'd expect ahigher price tag. (Definitely not complaining). I wish the owners and everyone involved success going forward, and thanks forhaving me. I shall return.

Brunch at The Vanguard was about what you'd expect for a brunch. There was a light crowd. The space felt covid safe as groups were definitely seated spaces out. THE GREAT: The unexpected ???? of our brunch were the fried pickles. They were delicious. Light, crispy, enjoyable. The red sangria was so good. The waffle was amazing. THE NO-SO-GREAT: 3 of us opted for Chicken &Waffles which is served like a huge sandwich. While the waffle was outstanding (as mentioned) and the chicken was crispy,???????? the chicken could have used a little more seasoning,???????? It was dry,????????and it was lukewarm ????????. I mighthave sent it back, but our server was m.i.a. so I made it work. Overall, if I am visiting Urby again, I'll probably give TheVanguard another try. But for this visit, ??????
