   Honestly, this dinner was a disaster. We had a reservation and were told that we had two options: we could sit at the table they had for us but had to vacate the table in 1 hr 10 mins or we could accept a bar table right next to the hostess stand. I asked if everyone else had a reservation and she said "no, most people are walk-ins." So I was quite frustrated that our reservation didn't give us priority over walk-ins and that, despite having a reservation, we couldn't actually sit at a table in the dining room. Insane. With no other options on a Saturday night in midtown, we accepted the bar/lounge table. Big mistake! It was right next to the hostess stand so therefore right next to the hotel front door--every person opening it sent a gust of 20 degree December air our way. My wife and 8yo son ate dinner with their winter coats on the whole time. The dinner itself didn't go well, either. We waited almost an hour for food (we would have been kicked out of our other table right as food arrived!). My wife ordered a basic martini and it came with lemon (why?!), so she sent it back--they dumped it out and remade it in the same glass so it tasted of...you guessed it...lemon. We never had our water refilled. Our steak came without a steak knife so I had to get one from the bar. We never got a chance to order any additional drinks, so we ate our meal with no beverages. Just all around awful experience. There are too many good restaurants in NYC to waste your time here.

   Good value on the lunch prix fixe. Great ambiance and easy to have a conversation.

   Great Thanksgiving meal. Food was delicious and plentiful and nice and quiet ambiance. Price was also reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

   Booked a reservation here after viewing the menu and photos online. The place is beautiful in person, and the location is great, but the overall quality of the dining experience was disappointing, particularly the food. The potato and chorizo croquettes tasted like hush puppies filled with bland ground pork; if there was any actual chorizo in it, it was not discernable. My husband ordered the steak frites medium and it was truly some of the toughest meat either of us had ever had. The glass of red wine he received was full of sediment. The crab bisque was beautifully presented, but overwhelmingly fishy. If you are a visitor to New York City, I would strongly recommend dining elsewhere in the neighborhood. If you work nearby and want to have after-work cocktails with a small group, this might be a quieter and less-crowded alternative to some of the nearby staples.

   Went for brunch with a friend and we enjoyed a lot, we had good food and enjoyed the ambience and service. Food was very good, we ordered the Greek salad with chicken and size and flavor were on point, but what I loved the most was their coffee. We want to come back to the rooftop for drinks they should consider open the rooftop for brunch! Overall great experience

   Decided to try Harta during Restaurant Week for dinner and it was a wonderful experience! We were a group of 3, sat right away, and everyone we encountered was friendly and professional. The vibe was 10/10. Beautiful decor, quiet ambiance. The 3-course, $45pp menu they offered had great options to choose from. We enjoyed EVERYTHING we ordered. Would definitely come back!

   I had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant. The service was great, and the food was incredible. My server, Jay, knew the menu items and gave great recommendations. He even checked in from time to time to make sure we were good. The ambiance and decor I liked a lot. Very inviting and chic. I had the Charred Eggplant as a starter and the Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries. For dessert, I had Fresh Berry Catalan. It was delicious, a light vanilla bean custard like. Also had the chocolate cupcake that was topped with hazelnut praline, candied hazelnuts.

   We chose to sit outside, and the service was extremely slow. When orders did come they were generally delivered to the wrong person. One of our party suffers from a food allergy (almonds and sesame seeds) and alerted waitstaff in advance, was assured dish didn't include these ingredients but would alert the chef for safety. Food came covered in sesame seeds. Fortunately it was caught before they had to use their epipen, but this was really horrifying. Their meal and a drink was comped, but I truly felt this was less than should have been done in this situation.

   Very poor selection of wines offered by glass and bottle. A wine bar needs to have better choices! Over priced for oxidized and/or poor selection of wines. Red wine served -4 to -5 degrees colder. Outdoor area needs to be spruced up and cleaned regularly.
