    I have been going to Harrys restaurant for quite awhile I had lunch there on Sunday 29th June 2025. I am sorry to say it was not a very good experience which is unusual for Harrys restaurant. We waited over an hour for our meal to arrive on arrival it was lukewarm the vegetables were not not fully cooked. No one bothered to explain to us what the problem was. The restaurant was quite busy and there was not enough staff on duty. The staff need to be more attentive to what is going on in the restaurant I.e clearing tables instead of walking pass tables that need clearing when patrons have finished their meal after delivering meals to tables . I don’t expect a response to this comment but it would be nice if someone followed up on it.

    Excellent spot and the weather was spectacular that day. Food was quick and delicious, while being relatively busy. No wine by the glass was a shame.
