    We dined early to take advantage of your set menu. The Cornish sole was absolutely delicious. The poached rhubarb, although tasty, was slightly undercooked. Overall a very enjoyable birthday meal.

    I ate dinner here last year with my family and I hoped to recreate the intimate atmosphere we enjoyed then at yesterday's lunch party for friends. Sadly the same feeling was lacking. It happens. Personally I found the Gluten-Free options which I had flagged up when booking quite limited. We are a tightknit group and have experienced many lunches in various locations, finally coming to Harpenden where we all grew up.

    Service very good, staff very friendly and on hand to help. Food was excellent but a shame more vegetables etc aren’t included in the dishes, having to order extra side dishes, thought the vegetable side was a little small

    Had a very nice meal of steak and chips followed by single origin chocolate mousse. The steak was a little overdone but still tasted nice and the mousse was to die for. Staff very polite and friendly but couldn’t always find someone when needed.

    Our favourite restaurant. The set lunch is outstanding value. This time I went for the steak frites( I am usually a fish person). The steak was absolutely superb and I would recommend the red wine jus as an accompaniment. For a light summer desert, choose the rhubarb and blood orange sorbet, it is to die for!!!

    After 6 years went again for a Birthday dinner and it was fantastic. The food, what we mainly went for, was absolutely delicious! Every single dish... That's what we call fine dining. We had starters, fish, meat, dessert, etc. Really nice and friendly personnel, quite and lovely ambience.

    the food was delicous, the waiting staff was excellent and prompt. we had 3 courses and were a party of 3 so i would reasonably expect to be allowed to have the table for 2 hours but the policy of only allowing 1.5 hours is too short for the courses we are buying! We were half way through desert when we were told that they needed the table back. You dont want to be rushed when paying good money for a meal. Please change this policy please. thankyou.

    Lovely place ate from set menu which had a good selection. I am particular about my wine choices and went for the reserve which was more expensive. It wasn't much to write home about. Staff were attentive and service was quick, polite and friendly. Will definitely go back.

    It is a pleasant restaurant with excellent service, it was no problem when we asked to move to a table by the window. The menu is varied and appealing. The quality of food is first class and the set menu offers good value for money. I had chicken chasseur with lovely, fresh vegetables, it would have been enhanced with some potato or rice included with the dish.

    Had a lovely dinner with family who were over from the US. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived and it took a while to get served and unfortunately our drinks didn't come until our starters were served, but the staff were very apologetic and discounted the drinks. Our server Jaida was lovely and very helpful. Overall we had a fantastic time and will be back

    Lussmanns always generates an atmosphere that is both buzzy and yet intimate. A perfect venue for either a table of friends or a romantic table for two. And of course the great menu and helpful friendly staff always makes for a very enjoyable evening.

    Very nice table by the window. We were served by an inexperienced waitress which is unusual for Lussmanns. There was a delay in serving the main courses which meant we were slightly rushed at the end. It was still a good experience and the food was excellent as always.
