Beautiful and delicious. Was at table nearest the door which was rubbish as there was a constant draft so we moved to downstairs seating which was great, good decor and nicely lit (for some reason the ground floor was dark). Food excellent

Great service, amazing food and wine. We arrived early and it wasn’t a problem at all. Menu offered great choice and the wine was excellent. Really good value, especially as you can order a carafe of wine rather than a full bottle between two. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

House Red very acceptable but a wine bar with substantial canapés. Not ideal if you are looking for a substantial meal but great after theatre atmosphere and attentive service. A fun place.

This is a perfect pre-theatre spot for a bottle of bubbles and some nibbles. I loved the history and aesthetics of the place and would definitely come back. Service was great, as soon as the glass was empty and on the head the waiter was ready and raring to pour another glass. The only thing that would make it that little better would be that I would have liked to have had more cheese options on the sharing board.

Food was relatively good only issue was we were sat right next to a large group of drunk women. Who were shouting and swearing which was very distracting.

A charming intimate little restaurant, perfect for before or after theatre - directly opposite The Theatre Royal. Upstairs is the bar and a few tables but very noisy with loud music. Make sure you eat downstairs and they are very happy to turn down the music if you ask. Once that’s done, it is all lovely - great food and cocktails! Is currently my restaurant of choice in covent garden

Sadly on Friday last we were running late due to the trains. Tried calling the number on their website numerous times to advise to no avail. When we arrived, the table had gone and we were told they don’t have a land line...perhaps they should remove the number from the website then. Luckily a restaurant a few doors away and oppposite the theatre we were going to managed to accommodate us.

We had looked for somewhere for a post-theatre meal and saw reviews of Augustus Harris that were overwhelmingly positive, so we booked for last night following the matinee of 42nd Street at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, which is directly opposite. We were not disappointed, and enjoyed a great couple of hours here. The food was attractive and tasty, and exactly as described in the menu (which is also online) and a carafe of the rosata wine went down very well too, then the sorbet and finishing with a latte and a cappuccino. The ambience is lively yet cosy, and the waitresses were helpful and attentive. We had a cosy table by the window in the street-level bar area, which was pretty much full the whole time we were there. Overall Augustus Harris was just what we wanted - somewhere interesting for a leisurely meal, a bit different from the usual restaurant chains. We will definitely return if in the area again.

Nice atmosphere and service. Appetising food. Perfect for a light pre-theatre dinner. A little guidance on the menu about how many crostini/bruschette to choose might be a good idea.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit (although the music was a little loud for us, but we are of a certain age!) Charming waitresses, and very tasty dishes. Would have preferred the (flavoursome) icecream in a dish. Very much liked the atmosphere.

Cosy surroundings, friendly staff, reasonably priced. Only downside is very limited menu, particularly for evening eating - suggest offering more variety, e.g. range of salads.

We very much enjoyed our experience at Augustus Harris. I was a little concerned about getting enough to eat because it is a small to medium sized dish place. But I was very satisfied when we asked for the check. The only negative was the dessert, gelato in a paper cup. The food and wine were delicious. The service was friendly and competent. I would definitely return if I am ever in London again.

The issue was that the dinner was served rather haphazardly. The last dish was served once we had finished every thing else which seemed to suggest it had been forgotten by kitchen . The coffee never turned up and had to ask twice for the bill. The excuse was that they were really busy , it's Saturday night and of course they will be busy but you have to allow for that What we had was excellent and good value , just final execution was a bit of a drag

The food is incredible and the wait staff is so patient and attentive. Unfortunately I was that terrible patron on the phone for a very long time, but our server came by frequently to top off my glass of wine and ensure we had water or whatever we needed. It was exactly what I needed to endure a long conversation with my sister! They were so great and so was the food!

I met two cousins here for lunch in a Saturday. Food was good but most of all the staff were present but not obtrusive as we talked an occupied their table for 5 hours! They were not particularly busy but nevertheless did not make us feel rushed or unwelcome. Well done!
