   Overpriced and low quality food. Service was fine. Would only recommend for a quick bite or drink.

   The service is great, but the food just wasn’t very good. I’m sorry.

   Excellent food. Service was a bit spotty, but it was busy...it was Valentines Day . It was not a bother & we were not rushed. We had a wonderful evening.

   6:15 reservation. Hoping to see some food soon…. When they took our order at 630 they told us they were out of Crabcakes and making more, we asked how long should they take to make and the waitress said 15 minutes, we said that's fine because we will have our soups or salads and appetizers prior to that. Soups came out at 7pm, but were waiting for 2 caesar salads, which should be out quicker you would think. First addendum: 7:23 pm: one appetizer has been served. They tried to bring us dinner before the appetizers. We are hoping that when the dinners come out, they haven’t been sitting under the heat lamp for an hour. 2nd addendum: appetizers arrived at 7:30 PM. We devoured them in two minutes. I will say that the oysters were good. We will keep you posted about the dinners. 3rd addendum: dinner arrived approximately 740, probably because we downed our appetizers. I will admit that everything was warm and tasty. We are thinking that maybe they gave our original crabcakes to someone else because the crabcakes were actually (luke) warm but very tasty. My sirloin was cooked perfectly; fries seriously cold. 4th addendum: dessert was cute. Four little round cheesecakes, different flavors. However there was no rhyme or reason as to who got what flavors, so we did a lot of trading. The chocolate mousse was actually like a Domino’s lava cake. But, apparently, it was very tasty. We were suppose to get a complimentary glass of wine for each of us and they charged us for the complementary glasses of wine which were included in the Valentine’s Day special. 6th addendum: the charge for the complementary glasses of wine were removed from the bill. They asked us three times throughout the evening if we were staying at the hotel to which we responded each time, no. We are not sure why they kept asking us that… Did it have something to do with the complementary wine… We will never know. 8:43, and we are finally on our way home. 2-1/2 hours.

   I sat at the bar and ordered an appetizer and an espresso martini. The bartender was less than enthusiastic. He made the drink and I took one sip, it tasted like watered down coffee. I did not touch it again. It sat there and he never asked how it was or did I want something else When I got the bill and realized it was $16 for a drink that I didn’t drink I asked him to remove it from the bill. He asked “whats wrong with it ??” In a vary annoyed tone. The manager then came over and removed it from my bill. No apologies or offers to make me a different drink He must have been having a bad night

   My comments are not based on actually eating at Harry's- but I was required to answer the restaurant questions on my review. The restaurant was closed when we arrived. Our reservation was accepted; the website says it's open; we received a reminder about our reservation ---- but when we arrived Harry's was closed. Not a good way to treat customers.

   Decent bar food and drinks. They’ve had live music on Saturday nights when open during this winter which is a nice added touch.

   We traveled over 30 minutes to go to this restaurant with the reservation, confirmed by OpenTable. When we arrived, we unexpectedly found out that it was closed for the season.

    Had the fixed New Years Eve Menu. All the food came out at once and was lukewarm warm, even the soup. It almost seemed like the fixed menu items were cooked in advance and sat out. For a $250.00 dinner, I will not return, especially for a holiday or special occassion. Please note, I’ve spent years working in the restaurant industry and understand it can get busy but this experience was very pricey for the product produced.
