Harvey's Restaurant 3.0 star review: A nice place to come for lunch. Menu is very reasonable with a good selection. Very friendly waiting staff however service could have been more efficient as we were waiting quite some time for our meals although the restaurant wasn't particularly busy.

Harvey's Restaurant 4.0 star review: A good value mid week lunch. The food is good, the service fine. Its a restaurant, not a pub and its food reflects this.
The atmosphere lets it down a little.
It is good, just not great.

Harvey's Restaurant 2.5 star review: It was my first time going to this restaurant and I have to say I wasn't overly impressed. It was a wet and cold night but we had to keep our coats on as it was pretty cold in the restaurant. The menu doesn't have a lot of choice in it and on the night the server told us that a couple of items were unavailable which limited it even further. I had prawn & crab cocktail and the Morroccan lamb. Both were fine but nothing particularly special. The service was ok, again it just lacked something.

Harvey's Restaurant 1.5 star review: I am generally very fair in my reviews and I err on the positives rather than the negatives. I had lunch here with my friend. To be honest it was a big let down.
The food was ok but the guy who served us was totally disinterested and we felt that we were more of an annoyance than 2 paying customers.
It totally lacked atmosphere and when we went to pay the person at the till didn't even say thanks - in fact he said nothing to us.
The food was ok as was the price but the attitude or lack of it made us feel uncomfortable. I have been here a few times and in general it has been allrightish but I will take a rain check on whether I will go back or not.
Come on Guys - SMILE - and communicate.

Harvey's Restaurant 4.5 star review: Excellent service, very pleased with our meals. Very nice setting for a small party of people. Very good value food and affordable dining with good special offers.

Harvey's Restaurant 2.5 star review: HARVEY'S: BETTER ON THE WEB!

HARVEY’S

Heard some good reports (mainly lunch/brunch) about Harvey’s of Academy Street. Checked out their website and was quite impressed. Booked a table for dinner and was expecting great things.

But the website flattered the place. Both it and the entry in Whazon says it is fully licensed but they sell only wine, no beer. The expansive list of dishes on the web is a fiction as the actual a la carte menu was much more restricted, disappointingly so. Another letdown came when we asked for dessert. Just five on the list and two of those were “off”. Coffee on the web is set at €2.00 but its actual cost is €2.50.

Started with a pretty average Bruschetta of vine tomatoes, fresh basil and garlic. My main course wasn’t bad at all and well priced at €18.95. It was Ribeye Steak, cooked as requested, with onions and mushrooms, a wee bowl of salad and chunky handcut chips and Cafe de Paris butter.

Following a decent Tomato and Red Pepper Soup, the other main course wasn’t as satisfactory. It was deep fried Brie with Parma Ham and a red onion marmalade on salad leaves (12.95). Three generous chunks of cheese and the ham were mounted on a mound of iceberg lettuce, a few slices of cucumber and three cherry tomatoes and no noticeable sign of any dressing.

Dessert was a non event so we finished off our average house wines which were priced at five fifty to six fifty per glass. Oh yes, that glass. They use a small non standard wine glass and fill it to the very brim. So don’t swirl and don’t put your nose in! One person at the table ordered Coke. The glass was filled from a large bottle; the Coke was flat and lukewarm and cost was €2.20.

The city centre bistro, which does a 3 course early bird for €20.00, is neat and tidy with very good space between the tables. It was busy enough on the weekend night that we visited and service was efficient.

Harvey's Restaurant 5.0 star review: Always come here when having lunch in town. The food is always high quality and very affordable. Good location also.

Harvey's Restaurant 2.0 star review: Arrived to the restaurant at around 12.50, received menus and sat just under the kitchen..literally! We flicked through the menu, decided what we'd like, and closed the menu. We waited at least 10 mins until someone came to take our order. Now, if they were rushed off their feet i'd say something. When we gave out order, we waited another 10 mins until we received our drinks at which were just plonked on the table, no queries to who was having what. at about 1.35 we finally received our food. We both ordered the same thing- a chicken and bacon taglatelle in a white wine sauce. In fairness it didn't taste that bad, the chicken didn't taste very real and the bacon was a quite fatty but it was ok otherwise. Even though it may not seem that we had to wait a huge amount of time for anything, what annoyed me most was that people who arrived in the restaurant after us, were getting served before us. After the meal, we asked for the bill but once again we were left waiting, we were waiting about 10 mins so my partner decided to just go up and pay. It came to just under 30e altogether which isn't that bad.

Over all between the atmosphere and service, we were very unimpressed. As we were leaving, I spotted another couple who had arrived just as we had received our food, and they hadn't ordered yet and were looking very anxious, felt like recommending them to leave!!

Harvey's Restaurant 3.0 star review: The restaurant is middle of the road. I had lunch there today and price is good and also good choice. The Kitchen is too near the eating area and as the ceilings are low it gets very stuffy. Also we were rushed at the end with our plates almost taken before we were finished.
