                        Food was delicious, they have added new items to their menu. Breakfast items are available all day now. The service was extremely slow, and the server seemed disinterested doing her job.

                        Picked the Harold for a business lunch. Ticked all the bases. Quiet environment, decent portions and efficient service without a hefty price tag.

                        Nice place, good value for money, food was really tasty and staff friendly. Did not love the cocktails. But may be a question of taste.
