                        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.

                        We LOVED The Harold. One of us had the French onion soup, and burger with truffle fries. The French onion soup was amazing and looked like it belonged in a French cookbook. The burger was great, but not something you can really eat as is unless you smush it down or deconstruct it. The truffle fries were yummy. The other of us had the cobb salad with chicken, and it was so great! The servers were fun and happy. We loved everything about this restaurant and will definitely be going back.
