The Hart Street Tavern

I and my family of five dined at your restaurant on Christmas Eve.
I booked the table online via OpenTable on the 18th December.The only availability was for an outdoor table at 5pm.
I was prepared to accept an outdoor table as your web site promised an under cover and heated environment.

It was not what we had expected given the several good experiences that we have had since you opened the restaurant in Henley.

Upon arrival at 5pm prompt we were escorted to the garden via an almost empty restaurant.After ordering drinks and food from the outdoor menu,I asked for the burner adjacent to our table to be turned on.Despite several attempts by a member of staff the heater could not be lit.We were then told that it had been problematic during the day.
We asked if we could be seated inside and were told that the restaurant was fully booked.Instead we were offered complementary mulled wine and that the manager would attend to the burner.
We did not see or hear from the manager.

We endured the cold however my wife and I decided to curtail our evening earlier than we had hoped for.
Upon leaving at 6.15, the restaurant was no busier than when we had arrived.
My sons who left 30 minutes after us at 6.45 confirm that there were still only four tables taken.

I am not happy with the way in which we were treated and as things stand I will not be returning to your restaurant anytime soon even after the restrictions are lifted.

Good choose of vegetarian and vegan options and a delicious cote de beouf to share for the carnivores, we did not have a pudding but had another cocktai which was lovely finish to our meal.
I found the noise level rather loud and it was difficult to hear our guest.

Great menu, good atmosphere, excellent staff and food to enjoy - a perfect night out.

We had a delicious meal with great service. Great wine list too.

A very pleasant experience with excellent staff who made the occasion special. Food and presentation was superb well done!

Excellent service, very good food and the best pineapple daquiri!

Outside dining at its finest! Amazing pizzas with delicious toppings. Everyone is so happy to help in our unusual world. Great social distancing. lovely, warm and cosy under the tent.

This is a comfortable, attractive venue. Food well presented and well cooked. Service attentive and pleasant. Slightly pricey though.

The food was superb, even though times are difficult. The Tavern did a great job with outdoor seating / tenting / heating.....it created a nice ambience and was perfectly warm. The service was a bit patchy though with no explanation as to how to order. Once we figured out you had to use the QR code, only one person's phone could pick up the menu so we had to pass that round to read it which defeats the point of not having a menu. The waitresses pretty much ignored us and we had to keep asking for drinks....to order....the bill etc. Considering there were only 4 occupied tables outside that was a bit poor. Finally we were a bit shocked by the bill......the drinks are VERY expensive and a 15% gratuity is automatically added.

Nice friendly place. Food satisfactory but not fine dining. Good wine selection

Great food, atmosphere and staff
Highly recommend

Friendly welcoming service and well paced. The hake and risotto dish we had was delicious.

Family Sunday dinner out after shopping. Only people in the restaurant. Staff were attentive but the food was unfortunately not very good. Shame as we had a few Sunday’s booked in for family meals which I will now cancel :(, shame.

Highly recommend Hart Street Tavern. The fish dish was top notch, absolutely delicious.

Great outside area would highly recommend! Lovely pizza too!

Excellent night. Very good food and lovely cocktails as well.

Like the wide choice of menu - anything from their pizza oven is wonderful. Staff great and food delicious - a great place for a night out.

Food, ambience and service very good, but could have done more as far as social distancing was concerned. Tables may just have been one metre apart, but it didn't feel like much had been done to be 100% sure.

We had a great time and the food was very good ! As we’re the cocktails ! Very enjoyable evening !

So nice to be back in restaurants. The food was amazing and the service was like something from a Michelin star restaurant. 10/10!

Lovely restaurant, good vibe, great food.
It's not cheap but you get what you pay for.

We had a fantastic last night before lockdown. Great food and atmosphere, just what we needed!
Thank you so much.

Staff efficient and helpful; excellent menu and food superb,
Great atmosphere.
Great place to eat

It was nice to return after 6 months absence and fin d everything was as good as ever. Hart Street tavern was just what Henley lacked ,first lass provider of steaks as swell as other popular choices for those not as particular about their steaks as our grandchildren and me.

Amazing restaurant, amazing service and amazing food! Would definitely recommend.

One of the best places to dine in Henley. Great menu and cracking gin collection!

We had Sunday lunch and had the Ribeye. Seemed expensive until we saw what we got and more importantly the quality was excellent

Great menu and the starters were lovely. The food is great, but a bit over-prized and wouldn’t recommend the cocktails. Fantastic ambiance and great staff! So overall a 3.5-4/5!

Very quiet evening, the virus is taking its toll, so a bit dead atmosphere-wise. Strangely service was also a bit off from normal, the staff seemed distracted. Food however was good :-)

Perfectly cooked fish with very attentive wind helpful service.

We had a really disappointing lunch at the Hart St Tavern unfortunately. The staff are nice and it has a good atmosphere. But the food was overpriced and very disappointing. The chicken In the chicken burgers was only just cooked - I contemplated sending it back - and the burger was really sloppy, with too much mayo and another sauce. My son’s kids fish and chips had the skin on the fish, which is unappetising inside batter and not child friendly. Good chips though!

Fantastic food, great services. loads of space to social distance - would fully recommend it

They had run out of 2 main course meals by the time our table was booked. The menu was pretty average and was just like a slightly upmarket pizza restaurant. The staff were friendly and efficient but overall a disappointing experience, expensive for what we had. Unlikely to return or recommend.

Amazing as always! The chicken burger is the best I've ever had

Comfortable - well organised. Enjoyed the dinner and the piano playing.

Super place - great service great food and great atmosphere

Considering the current times we are in, the service was great, staff were very welcoming and friendly. Pizza's were exceptional, as was the rest of the meal infact.

Delicious food, good atmosphere - a little escape from the strange world we now live in. We will be back, especially for the ham hock croquetas!!

Had a great afternoon at Hart Street. Staff always attentive and friendly. Good with great and the ambience, even during these covid times was great.

Food and service was excellent, would definitely come back!
