Restaurant Name: Harry's Bar
We generally don't frequent "World Famous Restaurants". Having read an article in Saveur Magazine we thought we would take a shot.
I can't say that this is a horrible restaurant, but it's designed to milk every cent out of the eager tourist.
Food quality and presentations were right out of the 1950's. If you're going to charge $25 for Carpaccio the appetizer ,at least put it on a large chilled plate (not b&b size) with some garnish.
Had one of the Bellinis ($11) in the bar. It was presented in a 6 ounce juice glass. Tasty, but not particularly cold.
Service was uneven, slow at first even though the restaurant was not full. The entree was delivered before we finished half of our appetizers. We requested a window table but were told that they were not available. They were not occupied during our dinner. We were quite close to the kitchen door.
Waiters were pleasant and fun (bartender was a bit snobby).
The total bill for dinner (not including the Bellinis in the bar), was $239. 2 courses per person plus 2 beers.
Favorite Dish: The Scampi was flavorful, but again poorly presented and stingy with the shrimp. Overall the food was not memorable.
