Thanks To Harrison is a chef-driven, European-inspired all-day restaurant and cocktail bar at 2001 Harrison St, Hollywood, FL 33020, in downtown Hollywood. Led by Chef Ivan Proseniuk, it moves from specialty coffee and syrnyky at breakfast to polished dinner plates and serious cocktails after dark, making it a strong stop for a languid brunch, a date-night meal, or a drink before exploring the neighborhood.
What to Expect at Thanks To Harrison
The menu is built around a flexible all-day format rather than a hard stop between breakfast and dinner. Breakfast and brunch run Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 1pm and on weekends until 2pm, with dishes such as Eggs Florentine on a donut and four variations of syrnyky, the tender Ukrainian cheese pancakes. Coffee comes from Kavka, a Ukrainian specialty roaster based in Maine, giving the morning program more character than a standard neighborhood cafe.
From 1pm through closing, the kitchen shifts toward lunch and dinner with whole baked branzino, a Wagyu burger, tenderloin, Wagyu cheeks, beef tartare with peanut-butter toasts, and gazpacho with stracciatella among the dishes associated with the restaurant. Save room for Basque cheesecake or tiramisu. The bar is a central reason to visit: the restaurant emphasizes craft cocktails by experienced mixologists, alongside a dedicated wine list and classics such as an Old Fashioned.
- Syrnyky selection: Four versions of the Ukrainian cheese pancakes put a distinctive European stamp on breakfast.
- Eggs Florentine on Donut: A playful brunch plate available during the morning and early-afternoon breakfast service.
- Whole baked branzino: A centerpiece seafood option on the lunch-and-dinner menu.
- Kavka coffee: Specialty coffee roasted in Maine by Ukrainian roaster Kavka, ideal for a quick morning stop.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reserve through the restaurant’s official Toast booking page for Friday and Saturday dinner, when the later 11pm close makes the cocktail bar especially appealing. Walk-ins are more realistic shortly after the 8:30am opening or during a weekday late breakfast. For dinner, book a table rather than counting on immediate seating; lunch and dinner dishes begin at 1pm.
Drivers should allow time for downtown parking, particularly on weekend evenings. The restaurant is a short walk from ArtsPark at Young Circle, the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, and the mural-lined streets around downtown’s Harrison Street corridor. Carmela’s Italian Ristorante is about one block away, while The Tipsy Boar is roughly two blocks away. Thanks To Harrison has not published a detailed accessibility guide; guests using wheelchairs, strollers, or requiring particular seating or restroom access should call before arrival to arrange the most suitable table.
