Encyclopedic to a fault[edit]

I was reading a book about the American foodie scene and came upon the assertion that a certain important figure in that world regarded the service at Harry's as the ideal. I actually wanted to know where this particular guy was coming from in terms of his restaurant aesthetic but, not having been to Harry's, had no clue what this vague factoid was intended to suggest. I came online to try to discover something about Harry's. I find a few facts and a bit of history. What I don't find is any indication of what makes this place special other than that special people go there and their minestrone is very expensive. Is this the inevitable result of neutral, objective, and encyclopedic -- that we don't learn the more subjective things that people actually want to know? Is the joint any good? Do they always remember you after you've been there once? Are the servers brisk and British? Curt and French? Overly friendly and American? Solicitous and Italian? What? Is the place real comfy? Do you feel welcomed to nurse a drink for hours? Is it full of muses, one of which will drop onto your lap when you sit down? Are their drinks just real tasty? What is it about this place? (In fairness, maybe there is nothing special about Harry's; sometimes it is 100% buzz.)Ed-Claude (talk) 10:23, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in my experience it was nothing special. The drinks were overpriced but average, and when we weren't ordering them fast enough, we felt that we were being pressured to leave...not comfortable at all. I think we were looked down upon as tourists (which we were of course, though we weren't making a scene of it) not to mention that, because we were wearing shorts and not slacks (it was a rather hot day) and they had a no shorts rule during a certain time period, we had to wait until the regulars in their dress attire were done to be let in for a special "casual period." I mean, maybe that's a standard, but we didn't run into such a rule elsewhere in Venice. 70.172.230.196 (talk) 05:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
