    We were welcomed with open arms when they realised I had booked the wrong day for our meal, and they made room for us, when my face must have looked horrified. The steaks were amazing and just like slicing through butter, and really enjoyed the pavlova and cocktails 🍸 😀

    This is one of many visits to Harry’s, and I want to prefix this review by saying we’ve never had a bad meal there. We love it for special occasions and I recommend it to everyone. However this visit I was let down, I wrote in the reservation this was for our wedding anniversary: I didn’t expect special treatment but we were given the worst table in the restaurant (a booth right next to the door to the toilets and function room). It’s a noisy and busy area with staff and people going to and from the bathroom. It’s also removed from the body of the restaurant so you don’t benefit as much for the ambience which is one of the main reasons we love it there so much. I didn’t ask to move, it was very busy and I couldn’t see any other tables. Our cocktails (festive 75) were really good and so were our little appetisers of pigs in blankets and aranacini (like REALLY good). My husband had the fillet steak and it looked amazing, he loved it. I ordered lasagne and I was really disappointed, the bechamel had congealed on the the top with the cheese and I found it quite unpleasant to eat. I left more than half, which I never do but it was just not nice. Our desserts were nice, but the chocolate torte I didn’t feel was the usual standard I expect at Harry’s. The service was excellent as always.
