"...Harveys has had a facelift, and it's more than just a lick of paint and some new furntiture...the whole restaurant has taken on a crackling new energy.

PJ has a knack of putting together flavours and textures that sing far beyond the sum of their parts, and his plates have a great balance between fresh and rich, light and heavy."

"The owner of Harvey's, PJ McMillan, received tongue-in-cheek death threat texts when he closed this James Street favourite for a renovation recently. The savoury mince tortilla spiced with cumin, coriander, carroway, chipotle chillis, fennel, garlic, topped with avocado, sour cream and a poached egg is the hangover panacea of choice to which most regulars turn. There's plenty for the sweet tooth too, including some superior ricotta-buttermilk pikelets with caramelised banana and honeycomb butter."

"Amid the crush of shops, cafes and bars that cluster James Street. Harveys is a serene oasis with cool comfort indoors and a picturesque covered terrace overlooking lawn and trees where patrons can enjoy the sub-tropical dining alfresco."

"There's competition aplenty on fashionable James Street, but if you're in search of depth of flavour and a glass of something other than the usual, make a beeline for Harveys."
