    In our opinion Lussman's is really the best place to eat in Harpenden. We have been many times and have never been disappointed. We have always received a very warm welcome, and the food is first class We would certainly recommend it to our friends.

    Lunch on the way to a drop-off at Luton airport. Friendly, welcoming, comfortable and relaxed. Timely service. Food was of a much higher standard than offered by highly-rated pub restaurants we had considered, with more choice available, and at not much more cost when taking the two or three courses for a fixed price. The 'acoustic clouds' on the ceiling are a great idea (although a little stained!). Their presence means that, however busy the restaurant becomes, conversation is easy.

    It was our first visit to Lussmans and definitely won’t be our last. The service was friendly, slick and efficient. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. I hadn’t realised that the restaurant has an ethical policy of using local and UK produce and recycling everything, which is another reason we will be returning. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you to all the staff.

    Our Valentines lunch was enjoyable. The meal was good. Slightly clouded by staff bickering/ banter - we were seated near the kitchen. The door being left open for some time while deliveries were brought inside- it was draughty and we were again opposite the door. The staff that served us were friendly and efficient. We have been eating at Lussmans in Hertford for Many years and always enjoyed our meals there. We thought we would try a different venue this time. Maybe stay with what we know in the future.

    My name is Barbara Jones and I traveled from Tring (with my husband) to meet up with two friends to have lunch yesterday. 9/11/23 We had the most wonderful food - what a surprise! The whole (3 courses) lunch was delicious, and perfectly presented and served. Have been to Lussmans in St Albans after being in the Cathedral for Concerts - 12 of us and on 3 occasions - food o.k but service poor, and very noisy. We were not expecting such a pleasant experience as our lunch yesterday and we will be back! A huge thank you to you all.

    Food and service was great, only issue was the table was in an odd place with the light hanging over one dining space, so the other two spaces were darker, and the space with the light was too bright. We moved the table ourselves and it was fine. Chicken schnitzel was amazing!

    Have had many outings to Lussmans and they never fail to impress. Delicious food, tried the new Bolas as starter and very good. Bill was higher than usual but then I realised we'd chosen a £39 bottle of wine, so that was entirely our fault.! Excellent staff and ambience. Definitely my favourite Harpenden restaurant

    Never had a bad meal at Lussmanns, either in Harpenden or St Albans. Service and food always good. the 12.5% "optional" tip rankles a bit. Nearly 30 quid on a 260 quid bill (7 people). Should have only paid 20 quid, which would be more appropriate (for me!).

    The food was quite good without being outstanding. The cod loin was smaller than expected and the potatoes came covered with greens and onion, which wasn’t on the description and wasn’t wanted. The ox cheek was a good portion and tasty. The apple crumble tasted a bit burnt and more ice cream would have been appreciated. We won’t be rushing to go back but won’t rule it out in the future.

    A great find in Harpenden. Although we were there on a quiet January afternoon, we felt the atmosphere was lovely. We had a nice welcome and good service. The food was very good and the set menu good value. The house wine was good too.
