Mietta's Review
Harry's, so long resident in the old bathing pavillion in Princes Park has moved across the road to the first floor of the Esplanade Hotel. It still has great sea views but the beach shack has changed into a relaxed but more settled situation. Michael Barrett still produces his repertoire of dishes.
Other published opinions
Age Good Food Guide 2008 "Harry's balcony - complete with wicker armchairs, decorative oars and a handsome seaside aspect - has a holiday-house air that's only reinforced by the food"
The Age Good Food Guide 2006 "He may have moved from the kiosk across the road, but don't let Harry's new breezy balcony position fool you. Chef Michael Barrett retains the emphasis on local seafood, keeping things fresh with a daily chalkboard menu."
The Age Good Food Guide 2005 score 12/20 "THIS no-frills restaurant - little more than a marquee hanging from a toilet block in the middle of a seaside park - evokes rhapsodic memories in scores of fans. They'll wax lyrical about the laid-back vibe the pier views, the special bottles they've BYOed over the years and, of course, the fresh seafood."
The Foodies' Guide 2004,Allan Campion & Michele Curtis,'This place is legendary.Yes,it's a small kiosk in the middle of a park overlooking the pier,perfect for working up a seafood dominated appetite.Don't forget it's BYO only,but the food is the stuff dreams are made of.Bookings are a must.'
