I've ended up at the Harp more than a few times over the many years I've lived in Cleveburg - I'm kind of a sucker for any place I get get Guinness. If you haven't caught a glimpse of the restaurant as you zip by on the shoreway then you must be paying attention.
The atmosphere is jovial and the decor is quite fitting. The food is, naturally, Irish inspired.
While I was impressed at first, it seems that either the quality has diminished over time or my expectations grew.
I admire any restaurant that gives wait staff freedom to say "I'm sorry but we messed up your order and we want to do it again but it will take a little longer" over the kind of place that brings out what even they must realize is a hastily prepared meal hoping that I don't notice. Lately (Mid-Late 2009), the Harp has fallen into the latter category.
I will give it one more chance in a few months, hoping they were going through a rough patch and revise my review when it happens.
