    This was our first time at Harry’s and an ideal opportunity for a try-out with visiting friends on a seriously rainy day. We were not disappointed, everything was just perfect - beautifully prepared and presented food, interesting wines at sensible prices (Muscadet and Brouilly) and even just the right level of background music.
