Harden's survey result
Summary
Carrying the name of Richard Caring’s famous Harry’s Bar in Mayfair (which is still members only), this sub-brand spin-off near Selfridges aims to encapsulate classic La Dolce Vita-style glamour. All of the limited feedback acknowledges decent Italian cooking, but is riddled with quibbles feeding back to the level of expense (“good food but the tables are packed too tightly and we’ll give it miss in future, as it did not have the right ambience for the price…”; “food was mediocre at the ridiculous price…”).
Summary
“It’s lovely to be able to sit outside” at this carefully styled Italian, not far from Selfridges – Richard Caring’s second spin-off carrying the brand of Mayfair’s famous Harry’s Bar (which is still resolutely members only). Feedback otherwise is fairly thin on the ground and a little up-and-down.
Summary
Richard Carling’s cutely-situated yearling north of Oxford Street – his second ‘accessible’ version of Mayfair’s famous Harry’s Bar (which is still very much members only) – hasn’t yet hit the same level of satisfaction as its Knightsbridge sibling, Harry’s Dolce Vita. But most diners like its “spacious” interior and “good atmosphere”, and even those who say the food’s “distinctly average” can still feel “it’s a useful casual-dining addition”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
