First time visiting Harrington’s, went on a recommendation from a friend. It is A very pretty restaurant, decor is really nice. Doorway is exceptionally pretty. I am not criticising anything about our experience, it was fine. I do think though there are a few easy wins to go from it being fine to really good. The first thing would be attention to detail. At first we were just given forks and no knives. The forks had plastic elements on them for decoration. They felt really cheap. When the knives arrived they were from a different cutlery set. I think all cutlery should match no matter the style of restaurant. When we had our meal, nobody visited to check the food was ok, which I can live with. However, nobody returned to offer more drinks. This wasn’t good we had to go get someone to come over and take a drinks order. Whilst we were still eating, a member of the staff came to ask can she take any of the plates, pretty standard in tapas places we go regularly to. The problem was non of the plates were empty and it was a bit uncomfortable having to explain we are still eating the food. Overall it was ok and nothing that I would ever complain about in person to a staff member on site. I just think it would make the place even better to tweak a few things that matter. Food was fine. Atmosphere was ok and the singer was a nice touch. I won’t go back but it’s nothing to do with the place. It’s just not my type of tapas restaurant.
