    Love going to Lussmans but in this occasion the service was efficient but not friendly. We were surprised as we were the first people in at 12.00 so the restaurant was empty at first. It did get quite noisy at some point but overall a good experience. Would like better choice of desserts please.

    Excellent food served in good time, not too fast or too slow. The set menu is great value, however you need to be aware that you will likely want to order extra side dishes as most of the main courses come without vegetables and/or chips. Have been many times and have never been disappointed. The meals always taste great and the ingredients are fresh and local.

    There is no better way to spend a warm summer evening in Harpenden than in Lussman's garden sampling their new summer menu. Full of delicious surprises such as pork collar and organic mutton salad to name but two. Good full plates of food perfectly cooked and extra tasty, we enjoyed sardines salsa verde and aforementioned pork with large hazelnuts in their own dressing with a heap of summer slaw. The side dish of chargrilled hispi cabbage was not sufficiently charred, and was replaced instantly. For dessert there was the fabulously sweet and bitter orange brulee which was rated 10 out of 10, and a Knickerbocker Glory. Ice cream is de rigueur on such a night and what better way to enjoy it than in a large glass with cream and fruit? Shame the spoon was a bit short for the size of the glass, but we managed to get all the contents out with not too many sticky fingers. All round a five star excellent meal.
