    We had such an amazing experience. The ambience, wait staff and food was incredible. We had reservations at 8 pm and the show was about 9:15. Had table side Caesar salad (highly recommended), steak was perfectly cooked, my daughters had risotto with steak and seared ahi tuna. Everyone said this was their favorite restaurant ever and we have been to some very nice restaurants.

    An amazing vibe but nothing particularly impressive about the steaks. It’s above water and there are a bunch of other restaurants and incredible wood artwork along the way. Leave time to walk around and see the art. The vibe was sexy and fun. Super loud at times which was cool if you like a party feel. Great place to go for a birthday.

    An amazing kick off to our Cancun vacation once again! We were lucky enough to sit at the exact same table and have the exact same server as we did last December! Juan Carlos is a phenomenal waiter with wonderful experience as he has been working at Harry‘s for over 10 years. The manager, Sergio, greeted us with warmth and a smile. The food is displayed beautifully, taste incredible, and the entire experience is phenomenal! The table side ice cream making was a delicious treat and an amazing thing to witness! The huge cotton candy at the end is the icing on the cake at Harry’s!
