Me and my group were looking for a nice place to listen to some music and get a drink. At a glance, Harat’s appeared to be everything we hoped for. Nice decor and menu full of pictures with english descriptions. I couldn’t find an entertainment line up on line, but luckily there was a performance that started shortly after we arrived.
Overall, i would say it was a decent experience but there were a few things we didn’t enjoy.
Seating:
First we expected the pub to be busy and crowded. Thats natural for any pub, and it includes bumping rubbing against people to move around.
Consequently, when we walked in with our group of four. It took a bit to seat ourselves. However, what i noticed was a couple occupying a table for a group of 4 to 6 people. In my opinion, large tables should have a sign that reads “reserved for groups of X to X”.
Additionally, on the left side of the room there was plenty of space to walk around. Conversely the right side was tight. Theres an opportunity there to evenly distribute the chairs on both sides. This way all the patrons get that good ole pub feeling throughout room.
Ordering:
Food and drinks have to be ordered at the cashier. Which is understandable for this type of business. Although, an order here sign would help. We found ourselves standing in the wrong spot to order at first. Then you have to yell or point at what you want to order. But, once again its a pub and should be expected. The staff were really nice though and spoke english well.
Volume:
The volume was way too loud for a pub. It reminded me of being next to the speaker at a club. Typically, there is a lot of noise at a pub from all the conversations happening. However, it was really hard to have a conversation over the music.
Food:
The food was our biggest disappointment. The presentation from the menu to the table couldn’t have been any better. However, of everything we ordered we only liked the cheese and bacon fries, and mozzarella sticks The rest of our food was decent to not good. The beef medallions tasted like they were boiled, and there was no flavor. The chicken wings also lacked flavor. The truffle fries were soggy. Finally, the cheese balls just had a weird creamy bread texture. Overall, the food left of us with regret. The one good thing is that it came out fairly fast.
Overall, the establishment has the potential to host a great experience. However, at the moment i would only recommend it for a quick beer.
