Harvester - Southampton

Visited today and had amazing service from Pheobe. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family and friends due to quality of service.

Popped in for a meal last minute after not being able to get a table anywhere near by. Very well run but the nee COVID processes are a bit silly. Laura was the waitress and she was very attentive, always around to top up your drink and very friendly. A credit to the business. Food was very good too and would definitely return if I’m in the area again.

Firstly the good bit our server was very nice, diligent and polite. The food was very average, but what we expected (our son's choice of destination! . My main concern was the complete lack of any distancing between the tables. My husband was sat about 1/2 meter from someone at the next table. We certainly were not 2 meters away. The table we were sat on was sandwiched between two other occupied tables and could quite easily have been removed or not used. It felt like profit was chosen over safety. The tables near us were literally sat back to back. The risk is lower sat like this but I don't feel it was reasonable to have people sat in such close proximity. If this doesn't bother you too much then go ahead and book. If you are concerned about social distancing or are in a particularly vulnerable category you may wish to check where you are sitting as you may find you are sat far closer to your neighbours than you feel comfortable.

Well, I get that C19 is proving to be a challenge but whomever thought of the one way system in here clearly doesn’t understand about safety. Having sat on the left of the restaurant and being escorted to the salad bar, we walked right past the salad bar, through the busiest section and then presented to the salad bar on the other side. How this can be seen as safer, I just don’t know it’s actually nothing short of ridiculous. There was no one standing at the entrance where the salad bar was so I just didn’t get the reason for this. It was a busy night, the car park was full and the staff were great. However, lots of salad items missing, only brown bread rolls, no Mac and cheese and no mayo. All said and done, the food was good and the chap looking after us was great. Would I go again? Not so sure as I didn’t feel safe walking past best part of a 100 people that were lol sitting rather close to each other.

The service was terrible. The lady that served us didn’t care at all. She forgot to bring sauces or a tea spoon for the tea. She forgot to bring out the toast and jams, we only got it after the main breakfast meals after asking for it from the young man server that wasn’t looking after us. She never came back after taking the orders and seemed grumpy. You have to ask for re fill drinks now but they never come to check up on you or if you would like another one, you have to hunt them down to get another one.
