    Very nice food included the chicken schnitzel, the prawn risotto and the lamb but none of these dishes had the wow factor and our group felt they were a bit over priced for what it was. Wait staff were very friendly, particularly a lovely french woman. The restaurant wasn't full and they didn't rush us through which was a nice change from so many places these days that are always in a hurry to get you in and out. Background music wasn't intrusive so we were able to carry on a conversation.

    We had a lovely family birthday celebration at Harvey’s last night. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. Some even declared that the oysters were the best they have ever tasted. Thanks for a fabulous evening.
