                        Worst service in all of nyc. Waitress took forever to come We waited for water for so long - she was chitchatting at the podsum. Drinks took forever. Dessert took forever, Bill took forever. Very unpleasant

                        The french onion soup was especially good. Not too salty like most others.

                        We had the fajitas, jerk chicken, and fish tacos. ALL were OUTSTANDING. Best meal of our 4-day NYC trip. The wait staff was exceptional as well and the price was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend!

                        Booked a table last minute. Food was excellent. Very large starter of calamari so glad we had that to share. Staff were very friendly and service was good. Attentive but not in your face. Would certainly recommend The Harold for an evening meal. Only very small criticism is the tables are quite close together.

                        We were attending before going to a show for my mother's 60th. They were quite busy as expected but we were asked to leave our table after 1 hour 10 mins as they needed it for another reservation. We had paid but were finishing our drinks off. We had also been a reservation and when I asked how much time we had been allocated for a table the server replied he didn't know and they just needed the table. Very much felt pushed out and was an abrupt end to dinner.
