    Party of 7 for a birthday. Service was amazing, friendly staff. Food was delicious, dough balls to die for! We had a variety of meals including carbonara, seafood linguine, lasagne, pizza and aubergine pasta and all were gorgeous. Plenty of it all as well! Will definitely be back!

    Booked a table for dinner with a friend, atmosphere was great, really buzzy and there was a live singer. I like the fact that the restaurant is separated from the bar area, we received a warm welcome and were seated at a nice table. The atmosphere was very festive! We were served drinks very promptly, and the service was super attentive and friendly. There were a number of large groups (expected at this time of year) - and our server did say that there may be a delay with our food because of this - but actually it was completely fine. I have always found the food at Harry's to be excellent and this was no exception. We ordered the fish platter, asian pork belly and caprese salad, all of which were delicious. Drinks were refilled and the attentive service continued, which again was very much appreciated on a busy night. Love Harry's Bar it's a real local gem. My friend lives in London and was really impressed!
