My bride-to-be and her parents and I went to Harry's Bar this past weekend hoping to have a wonderful meal. I had read the reviews on this cite and expected an average meal (I was hoping to believe those Harry must have paid to say good things). Unfortunately, we had the worst food I have ever eaten at a resteraunt, let alone one that is supposed to be good (or charges $100 plus ahead).
I tried each of the four entrees that we ordered and each of them was horrible.
The shrimp thermador would have been thrown out by the nursing home crowd for being so bland. In addition to having the smallest shrimp you have ever seen. The steak had no flavor and was served with bernaise sauce to try to mask the poor quality of the meat. The "spicy tomato" Americaine topped noodles were not even edible. The best entree which puts it just behind a McDonald's hamburger was a pasta dish with curry flavor.
The dinner salad was not tasty at all. The pasta fagoli soup tasted like 3-day old baked beans dropped in water. Even the wine that Harry's pompous staff recommended was bad.
Stop in for a drink if you feel that you must go to Harry's Bar when in Venice (I know the feeling because I remember reading about Harry's 10 years ago in GQ and was excited to go.), but have dinner next door.
