Amazing food as always. Great alternative to Cipriani or the other Harry’s in Knightsbridge. Good if you want to chill around the area after as it’s very central.

Came here for Saturday Brunch. Sat outside by the street, but was not bothered by the noise. The food was good, the service was excellent and the ambiance was welcoming. Would visit again.

Never got to taste anything… sat there for more than 5 minutes nobody came to take my order… nice welcome at the entrance, sat me down with menu’s… then nobody showed up. maybe next time I’ll get a taste of their food, hopefully it will be worth the second visit.

I always enjoy Harry’s Bar anytime I’m in London or Rome. Tonight’s experience was poor. Awful service and was told, by my server, the bartender “cannot make a limoncello spritz” and was then treated very poorly. Really? Are the bartenders so inept they cannot craft a cocktail from existing ingredients or did the server not want to be bothered? I’ve had them every time I’ve been in London and Rome. Not typical Harry’s Bar style.

I took my friend here for her 24th Birthday and the waitress that took care of us was super lovely. Absolutely loved the Lady Mayfair Cocktail and would return here for drinks. My friend got a cute surprise at the end with a salted caramel dessert which was nice of the restaurant. However I thought the food was just okay nothing stands out. Would return here for cocktails though!

We had a birthday celebration of my friend here and I must say that we had a wonderful time! We were looked after, the staff was friendly and helpful. Francesco was the star! Super professional.Food was delicious, cocktails too.The place is busy, therefore a bit noisy but this even more gives a feeling of being in Italy 🇮🇹

Mains were nice, however got served gone off-milk and vodka instead of an espresso with the ice cream for an afogatto. Waitress decided she disagreed, with there incorrectly being vodka in there, but conceded that it was not right. This didnt go down well.Furthermore by the time I left, my stomach felt terrible and I think the prawn starter I had was the culprit. Avoid at all cost, there are better places only a short distance away.

Fantastic restaurant with friendly and helpful waiters, very tasty food and surprisingly generous portions. The Zucchini starter was fabulous and could be easily shared if you wish. A lovely lunch!

Extremely rude customer service.Having spent thousands of pounds in this restaurant since it opened, I felt very disappointed today, when the receptionist told me I can’t have a table for two, unless I order three courses plus drinks (!)When I told her we’re having food and drinks , but uncertain about the amount of courses, she promptly refused to seat us. Even though plenty of empty tables.How can you demand of a customer in such a place to order three courses? I’m of not a big fan of desserts, thus cannot be forced to order such when booking a table.Asked to speak the manager. A nice chap came along named Stefano. Little did he do apart from telling me he’ll have a word with the receptionist in question. Like, how about you seat us then ?Rudeness beyond measure. Harry’s Bar big fail 👎🏻

My Sister and I came in on the 7th August 2022 for brunch. The service was impeccable, the waiters and workers were very friendly and very attentive. We had reserved a table outside but at 12ish, there were a few tables but it had started to get a little busy. The food is absolutely incredible and mouth watering. I had two small plates and my sister had 1 and a bread basket, a mimosa and some bottled water; the total was £75 so a little on the pricey side but well worth it. I would definitely come back here! Thank you for your hospitality.

Food was good in general. Desert was amazing, exceptional service, as we asked to change one of the pastas after trying it and not liking it, they agreed to change it straight away with no questioning. Overall good experience. Will definitely visit again

If I could give zero, I would. I honestly cant believe how we were treated in this place tonight. I ordered the chicken Milanese and asked for a side of macaroni. I was fully aware that the side was an extra which I would have to pay for. The waitress came back and said "sorry do you want chips or green beans with your chicken?". Given the way the question was phrased, I assumed that I had misread the menu and that the chicken came with with either chips or green beans so I said chips believing I was still getting my side of macaroni. The meal then came without macaroni and I asked when it was coming to which the waitress replied "you said you wanted chips". I explained the confusion and she said no problem, that shed take the chips off the bill. I felt this had been managed appropriately given that it was the waitress who made the mistake and forgot my order, then asked me a misleading question. However, when I asked for the bill, a very rude and rather aggressive manager came over to explain to me in a loud voice that sides are not free. I found this quite embarrassing in front of other customers as I had every intention of paying for everything I ordered, but not for mistaken orders by staff. I was absolutely appalled that a manager would think it is appropriate to speak to customers in this manner. Im bitterly disappointed because I was looking forward to coming back to Harrys Bar but the whole ordeal left me feeling completely embarrassed and furious, not the way Id like to finish a nice evening out.

From the food to the service it’s been a total disappointment. I had booked a table at 3:15 and still had to wait 20min to be seated. The food was average from the parmigiana that’s lacking flavors to my lobster spaghetti which was the worst I’ve ever had in an Italian restaurant. Now, let’s talk about the service and the delay. The waitress was rude and non attentive. We waited half an hour to get our order taken. Whenever calling the waitress she would look unhappy and she forgot to bring us the water until I asked the manager to. However she took good care of other customers and constantly was pouring their water constantly.The food arrived after a long wait and wasn’t even served properly on the table. We were 3 and the food was dispatched randomly and rudely on the table as if we were 4. It’s been anything but total disrespect from the start. My sister and grandmother are visiting me in London and I thought I’d bring them from all the reviews I’ve read but DO NOT make the same mistake.The restaurant does not live up to the expectations of its reputation which I consider long lost. The manager or owner needs to react urgently to the chaos that’s reigning at Harry’s. I have heard similar notice from friends who visited previously but wanted to try for myself. Save your money and go somewhere else. I hope this helps.

Cute little brunch spot with outdoor seating that looks a bit like you’re in Paris. The food was ok, we had the brunch menu (avocado on toast). I wouldn’t return for the food but it’s a good spot for drinks outdoors, especially as it’s so close to the busy Oxford Street but feels a lot more peaceful.

The staff at Harrys was rude, disrespectful, dismissive, discriminative, just out right abysmal. I went bridal dress shopping with the girls and my mum. We wanted to grab a cute lunch between fittings. Harrys staff looked at us, and told us the entire place was reserved. Even though the restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday afternoon. There was literally 3 tables (if thatfilled. Mind you we was not dressed up to the nines, but we defo fitted the shopping for a dress attire (light summer clothing). They were so rude and gave us no option of waiting. They didnt let us know whether a reservation had been cancelled. Unhelpful!! We told them it was a special girly shopping trip for the bride, and that did NOTHING. As we where talking to them, two ladies walked in and sat down. I thought that was quiet strange. We all walked of and found somewhere else to eat. James Street Kitchen Indian food Cuisine. Welcome us gracefully. There food was lovely, nice and spicy. Customer service was excellent! They made us feel loved. While we were there we phoned Harrys to book a table and they told us there was availability. Thats was very unsettling to have discovered they lied to us. I have never experience blatant hostility in my life. They should be ashamed of there selves.

I love coming here, the food is always so good and the atmosphere is great. I can’t fault anything and the service is attentive.We started with the calamari fritti, gamberi e nduja, and Harry’s tagliolini. Then we had pizza funghi, truffled chicken and rosemary chips. Our drinks were Sicilian margarita and the Lady Mayfair. To finish we shared a Tiramisu.

We were meeting some family members for brunch.It was empty when we arrived at about 10.45 a.m.1. Coffee.I ordered my usual double espresso with hit milk on the side. The waitress forgot the milk and then brought me a small jug of mainly froth. By the time the milk arrived my coffee was lukewarm. Not a good start.Harrys bar did redeem themselves with the food.2. I ordered courgette fries which were really nice.Also the mini arancini were very nice. Probably one of the best I have had.Macaroni cheese was also very nice and cheesy.3. MainsOne person ordered the Eggs Royal and another the avocado on toast. Both were excellent.We also ordered the pasta verdict which was excellent.4. DesertAfter stuffing ourselves, we only ordered one desert to share. It was visually beautiful and delicious.

Came in for a night cap and was not disappointed. All drinks were made right and a bit on the strong side, so we had a massive headache the next day, but as expected. Our waiter, pictured, surprised us at every corner so we had a fun night out. Aqua panna to top us off as we walked back to the hotel.

The lady Mayfair must be the best cocktail I’ve ever had! The place is beautiful the decor the ambiance - real boujeeand the food was delicious..tried the hyped mushroom 🍄 dessert not a huge fan of white chocolate but it wasn’t bad think the pistachio crumb cut into the sweetness of the white chocolate and ice cream, really well made. the truffle tagliatelle was heaven so rich and creamy and the prawns nduja sauce had a real kick to it10/10 experience

My friend and I were very excited to finally come to this restaurant!Unfortunately weve been a bit disappointed.Our table was very small and placed behind a corner basically in the dark.The whole place seemed to be very chaotic and there where not even space for the staff to walk through between the tables.The food was nothing special, almost everything was tasteless.We ordered their famous "mushroom" dessert and but apparently somebody messed up with our order and it took ages to arrive, it came basically after we paid our bill.Not a great experience unfortunately.

Has been on my list for a while now! One of the best places to find Tiramisu around central London. It’s not too sweet allowing you to have the complete pot in a single serving.Also had a toadstool & the way fresh basil cuts. Through the sweet flavours will blow you away!A party of the Ivy group, Harry’s Bar lives up to the standards & the name earned over the decades.

The place was very beautiful. Food was very average. They first served us risotto and arancini to start. Risotto was too salty and the arancini was really nothing special at all. After receiving our starters, our server didn’t really come back to ask if everything was okay with the food. We tried to call a server to the table multiple times but no one noticed us because it was too busy. When a server finally noticed, we asked to send back the risotto because it was too salty and he seemed like he was arguing with us that it risotto is really that salty (lol). Gladly they took it out of our bill. For the mains, we ordered the fish and spaghetti vongole. We also had the polenta and creamy mash as a side. We were very disappointed with the fish because the skin was burnt. We didn’t really bother complaining about the fish anymore because we already complained about the risotto and it seems like the servers were really busy anyway. The spaghetti vongole was delicious but I feel it was slightly over drenched in butter. The creamy mash was really good and the polenta I feel could have been cheesier. To finish, we had a tiramisu for dessert which was very good. Overall, I feel like some of the dishes were good but we were just unlucky with the risotto and the fish. I also feel that the service could’ve been a bit better considering how much we were paying.

Gorgeous restaurant, lovely staff all of who were very accommodating to us and my 3 month old son. I had let them know we needed space for the stroller and we had a lovely table, no problems with having stroller next to us. Menu had some amazing dishes on it...difficult to choose! Everything we had was so tasty, service was quick even though restaurant appeared to be quite busy. Coffee afterwards was also delicious. Would recommend a visit to Harrys!

The place is very nice and staff are very friendly. However the food arrived late, and it tasted average for their prices. The pasta was overcooked and the bolognese sauce was quite runny. Although, would give it a second chance by visiting again to try other dishes, as the atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing!

A lovely Italian restaurant in Marylebone - great food, friendly staff, impressive interior…high prices 🙈I had a lovely brunch here with my girlfriend. Menu features a good mix of traditional brunch dishes with Italian twist (for example, eggs royale…on focaccia!and Italian dishes (risotto, pasta, you name it)I had eggs royale (served on focaccia with rosemary chunky chipsand avocado on a side, my girlfriend had truffle risotto. We both loved our food! Coffee was also delicious - ask for chocolate on top no matter what you order!

Saturday night drinks and nibbles. Took some appetizers and enjoyed the special truffle menu, for the fresh truffle season.The truffle carpaccio was great along with the focaccia and the Burrata.Iconic Zucchini fries did not disappoint either.Drinks were quite nice too, especially the North to South Negroni.Some disappointment of the Tiramisu which lacked coffee and rum (or another alcohol flavours and was quite plain).Lovely service overall.
