“ My son loved his huge TBone. He couldn’t finish it and took some home in a doggy box. Would’ve preferred the gremolata on the side of my tuna, as tuna taste was smothered for me. Similarly I would’ve preferred my green salad W no dressing, the vinegrette was very strong and overpowered the salad. Less would’ve been more for me. Note to self... remember to ask for sauce/dressing on the side :). The decor and staff were lovely. Felt like a nice treat. ”
“ Harry's was everything I expected, a warm and cozy environment. Service was fantastic the staff were fast and welcoming. Came here for a Valentine's Day meal both me and my partner absolutely loved our meals the tuna steak was cooked to perfection (Credit the the chef) the blue cheese gnocchi that my partner had was also exceptional. Overall an amazing meal I will be coming again highly recommend. ”
“ Came in tonight and had a lovely birthday dinner tonight. India (the blonde waitress) was amazing!!! She was so kind and considerate, and guided us through menu and wine recommendations. I also just wanted to say thank you to the brunette waitress with a braid in the back of her hair, who gave me a candle with my tiramisu and wished me happy birthday. It really made my 21st special. Thank you so much to the team for making sure I had a great birthday. 10/10 for everything I will definitely be returning. The food was incredible as well as the wines and the service. Much love from a fellow waiter, genuinely couldn’t fault the service ”
“ A really lovely meal out for our anniversary. Ambience is lovely, and service was attentive but not overbearing. We had cheese souffle and steak tartare to start, both were really exceptional. Mains, we chose grilled tuna and grab linguine. The tuna was a really generous portion, cooked perfectly and accompanied by crunchy beans. The linguine was delicious, but could have benefited from fresh pasta. The cheese platter we had for dessert was plenty for two, and some of the most delectable grapes we have ever had! Great wine list, and very knowledgable and engaging staff. ”
“ Still a go to for special occasions since almost 20 years! Found the seasoning lacking across all dishes we ordered, especially the main event - steak. The service was pleasant, professional and non-intrusive as always. The atmosphere and decor always cozy and special. Hopefully, the seasoning can be less reserved and more confident on next visit! Overall, still our favourite. Visited 29th April early dinner. ”
“ We went for a meal here on Valentine’s Day and the food was sublime. Our dishes were cooked and seasoned perfectly and came out piping hot. The fries were especially delicious! The atmosphere is also lovely, as tables are spread out well so it isn’t too crowded or loud. We will definitely be returning! ”
“ Amazing food and staff. I got the roast cod, absolutely delicious. The mash especially. My boyfriend got the Rare Ribeye steak, which he also loved, very flavourful. Said it was one of the best steaks he’s had. Cocktails were great. One of the staff made me a drink, that was amazing (not on the menu). But the staff were so kind and helpful. Will definitely go again! ”
“ Beautiful & quaint. Focusing on quality not quantity. Fresh produce. Attentive staff. The nicest cut of fillet that I've seen & tasted. The cheese souffle was to die for. Worth the travel. Will definitely be returning ”
