While some patrons rave about the warm welcome and delicious Italian tapas, others note inconsistent service experiences. The intimate basement setting enhances its romantic allure, making it suitable for pre-theatre dining. However, diners seeking substantial meals may find the limited menu of nibbles unsatisfying for the price. Generally, Augustus Harris is hailed as a delightful spot for cocktails and light bites, appealing to both casual visitors and regulars looking for a hidden gem in bustling London.
We went a few weeks ago with another couple for some lightish pre-theatre eats. We hadn't visited for a few years and it was as good as ever. The tapas were so scrumptious (carefully chosen ingredients in delicious combinations) that it ended up as more substantial than we intended. As before the staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. We highly recommend it. It's small so book a table particularly if it is pre-theatre. It is a delightful little bar if you just want a drink.
We were in London for a theatre weekend and this restaurant was recommended and it didn’t disappoint absolutely delicious tapas menu which we let the staff suggest options for us and it didn’t disappoint great cocktails too highly recommend
We popped in on the off chance after a show and were too late for food, but what a lovely little bar. The staff were the friendliest that we encountered on our whole trip.
Quite possibly I’ve walked past Augustus Harris many times without noticing ….. what a little gem hidden in plain sight! It is fantastically placed for theatre land the tapas menu is ideal for a pre or post West End nibble. It’s a fairly simple concise offer of crostini, paninetti, cheese, salami other savoury spuntini. Everything was absolutely delicious. To accompany, the wine cocktail list is short-ish but intriguing, of quality well thought through. Staff were friendly attentive. It’s a diminutive spot, with just 4 small, packed in tables counter seating at ground floor level (plus a couple of tables pavement side) a handful in the cosy basement. Loved it!
Tony, Ally and the team are absolutely AMAZING! We have been hosting welcome socials for our new starters at AH for the last few months and the staff have been phenomenal. Great drinks, delicious boards and fantastic, attentive staff. We have wanted for nothing, the service is out of this world (if you like cocktails, I 100% recommend their Mojitos! . Thank you so much, we will see you again soon!
