   Poor attitude of staff, poor service waiting an hour for a main and very poor value for money. 61 euros for a small chicken let and a few roast potatoes. No veg or sauce. There are much better places to spend almost 400 euros for three main meals and a couple of drinks each. Will definitely not return.

   Food was sandy/gritty and desert was stale. Service looked pretty but much ado about nothing.

   Harry’s Bar is a must stop in Venice. Just be prepared to pay for it. The food and service are impeccable. The drinks are small but mighty and expertly made. I’ll take a small Martini well made over a a large one done poorly. When we return to Venice one of our first stop will be Harry’s.

   We booked a table for dinner but left without ordering. We paid for our 2 drinks (Gin & Tonic, Billni) 50 euros which for a small cramped bar with no atmosphere or view was expensive. Menu looked pricey. We decided to leave and try somewhere else. Staff were efficient and friendly

   Harry’s Bar was quaint and the food was excellent. The ravioli and selection of breads were delicious. The servers were very hands on.

   The food was terrific! It’s a fascinating experience overall but our evening was tainted by poor service caused by what looked to be significant understaffing. One waiter was overwhelmed by 6-8 tables of various sizes. Her helper tried to make things better by delivering and serving food but it wasn’t enough to improve the overall service. There was one other employee who could have been a sommelier? but it wasn’t apparently beneath him to help deliver a better service experience.

    Overall, it's very expensive to have drinks and / or a meal. It's a bustling place if you like that kind of atmosphere. I went during lunch, and they had a limited menu. It was 35 Euros just for a cocktail and 4 pieces of finger sandwiches. I also went for dinner, thinking it would be better. I was seated in the bar section instead of the dining room upstairs. I inquired and was told this is the only seat. Well, the food, in my opinion, was not better than lunch, mediocre at best. And of course, it was very expensive. Also, the tables were very close to each other, and with all the people both dining and at the bar, the room got extremely warm, which made dining very unpleasant. I couldn't wait to get out of there into the fresh ajr. The night before, I ate at the restaurant just acoss from Harry's Bar, which was much nicer. It was on a terrace overlooking the grand canal, the food was superb, and the service was outstanding. Overall, I think this Harry's Bar in Venice is overrated, in my opinion.
