    It's much nicer dinning at night time rather than lunch time. I don't like sitting by the window as it's very tight and uncomfortable and everytime without fail we are offered our table by the window. Last night I had the beef, I personally did not like it, it had a lot of fat. My daughter however, enjoyed her Chicken and Truffle and her Christmas dessert. When I went there for my birthday back in June, I think the service was much better but nevertheless a lovely place to eat but it's on the pricey end.

    Restaurant was lovely but the staff were awful. When I arrived for my booking I was told my table wasn’t ready and asked to come back in 15 minutes so I had to wait out in the freezing cold they didn’t offer me a seat at the bar so I lined back up after 5 minutes as I was so cold and asked if I could wait at the bar which they then allowed. We was seated at our table 40 minutes after our booking time and we got no apology for waiting. The staff came across very rude and aggressive. On one occasion we was trying to get the attention of a waiter as they had not brought our water over and he turned to his friend rolled his eyes before he came over to us and was rude to us. We also had to ask numerous times for our wine to be refilled which we shouldn’t have to do. I have never experienced such rude staff especially in a well know popular restaurant I was really surprised and disappointed and it has put me off coming back or suggesting this restaurant to my friends.

    Inspite of a couple of starters that were not properly hot the food was absolutely delicious. The risotto was particularly moorish. The bolognese was excellent and as ever the bread basket was brilliant. The help in choosing an appropriate wine was particularly impressive.

    We ordered the sharing doughnuts that comes with a hot chocolate dipping sauce. The doughnuts were cold and so was the chocolate dipping sauce. Additionally, there was no sugar given with my tea. It was a bit of a shambles to be honest. Very disappointed. We also waited around 20 mins for the doughnuts to arrive which was shocking it’s like they had forgotten about our order.

    I ordered the mussel pasta which was overcooked, the mussels were out of the shells and I ultimately received a plate of cold pasta, with loads of shells. Some shells were broken and very badly hidden under the pasta and I almost swallowed a shell piece. The bread was all hard pieces of bread and we received that after our mains had nearly been finished. The staff weren’t very welcoming. The ambience was nice but nothing worth coming back for.

    I came to Harry’s as a walk through - and the staff said there was no tables available. Looked online and booked within 2 minutes and then was seated. Staff were very rude and condensing both at the entrance and serving. Tried to get the staffs attention a few times to be ignored. Food was okay. I wouldn’t recommend coming again - the looks and service from the staff was not acceptable.

    When we first came to Harry’s we had no complaints. We sat outside so we were not subjected then to the noise coming from the bar area. Food is still tasty but most of the time it’s not very hot. iIs it sitting in the kitchen a while before it’s served? This was a birthday lunch for my friend and although I had made a note about it on the reservation, it was not acknowledged. We do like Harry’s very much but there’s a few things that need attention to make the experience 5*

    Harry’s is a lively restaurant. It has a brassiere style and it’s great for people watching. It has a good ambiance. The service is friendly but brisk. The initial, new waiter made a mistake with the wine but this was rectified at the time. However, we then had to get their mistake taken off the bill at the end of the meal. My husbands beef was good and tasty. My steak was average. The rocket was wilted and just a garnish rather than a salad. Just two baby tomatoes listed as a salad too. Overall disappointing. I had hoped it would be a special treat for my husband’s birthday, but sadly it wasn’t.
