Having spent a lot of my hard earned money at this venue I am appalled to see how they have treated there staff . The Heart has gone out of the Hart street tavern and the venue looks worn and the staff look unmotivated and the venue lacks leadership and direction . The venue needs to change Ownership or a new leadership team needs to turn this venue around it lacks soul and Hart !

As a local resident I been to the Hart Street Tavern many times with family and friends and have always enjoyed the experience - I have no idea where some of the negative reviews come from as they don’t reflect anything I have seen, heard or eaten. Anyway, we went for a family Sunday lunch and it was excellent. The sharing platters are an absolute winner. I also was guided to a terrific glass of wine specially drawn from the bottle with a coravin. The staff were all delightful, as ever and the atmosphere buzzing. Looking forward to going again already.

This was one of the best ever roast beef meals Ive ever had. The Angus beef was so tender and tasty the potatoes were perfect and I loved the cavelo nero, carrots and parsnips the sauce had great flavour. Hayley out waitress was superb attentive friendly and very smartly presented. I will happily return.

went for the first time for lunch there. We did not have the booking so were first looked upon differently and then we were given the table which was not even a table. It was there spare two small tables. The manager came up to me and asked where we were from. I told him and he then said oh I am asking because not manny brown or black people come here. He himself was black and we were brown. I found that so irrelevant and felt very uncomfortable as he probably thought we were not able to afford to eat there. Customer service was not very good. They kept taking our drinks or food to another table as we did not have proper table. My burger was so cold that I only ate quarter of it and left the rest. Chips were cold and disgusting. Overall not very nice experience for the money we paid.

Be aware they DONT do a Sunday Roast. They used to but have stopped! We went today specifically for a roast but no joy. We have been multiple times and the roasts have been great and no mention of this on the website other than being told to check the menu. Guests shouldn’t have to do donkey to outsource the problem to your customers!! Despite this idiocy the food and service were great but there were no other customers. I strongly suggest a rethink by the owners

Visited on Saturday. Sadly there were several dogs in the bar area - if you’re going to let dogs into your restaurant the owners should be asked that their pets should be under control, on a lead and certainly not allowed on any furniture - they are animals after all ….not humans! Burrata with Marinated Beetroot and Crispy Duck Salad for starters - both very good. For mains; Crab Linguini and Char-Grilled Cauliflower. It was a shame the Linguini had been kept hot for too long in the kitchen as it was a bit dry but the flavour was very good. Grilled Cauliflower was excellent. A couple of minor points; music was a bit too loud and a shame that the tables for 2 are lined up like some kind of conveyor belt - would be better set up interspersed with a couple of 4’s. We visit quite regularly and will go back - but the dogs were a big issue and this will deter us returning if the restaurant feel allowing dogs on public sofas is okay. Arguably they shouldn’t be allowed in a restaurant at all.

Popped in for lunch, hadn’t booked a table and managed to get a table in the courtyard at the rear of the restaurant. Wide variety of food available. Beer menu was a little restricted with not many lagers. Staff were all very friendly and approachable. I had the pizza and it was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend the venue and the food.

Tough one. It’s a very attractive place on a slow Tuesday lunch. I live and work locally and have wanted to try the burger as for £19 I assumed it would be great. It wasn’t. Average fries. Added points for construction and thin sliced red onion, deductions for added ketchup(!) and shredded lettuce. Didn’t taste charcoal-grilled. Only two draught beers available, both Rebellion. Unfortunate except for the cheery waitress and nice surroundings. Very disappointing hospitality, I so wanted it to be good.

Nice looking restaurant in Henley. Could be excellent with a few basic improvements. Table was sticky when we sat down, asked staff to clean it which was done quickly. Roast beef Sunday roasts arrived quickly. Good meat and veg, but the gravy was like water, and had already been poured over everything rather than being served separate which is the norm nowadays. I noticed at the entrance the piano looks like it needs a good clean. Generally a nice place, but has room for improvement.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and quality food. We were a party of 16 and we booked the wood panelled Bremont room free of charge. I cannot fault the staff and the food was really good. I had the Hart Street Tavern burger and it was delicious and well cooked. Some of the other guests had the same, the halloumi burger and Ceasar salad and they were all very happy and commented on the tasty chips! The service was also excellent. On other evenings they have a live jazz band or a piano player. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Overall a very mediocre experience. Staff were not trained but the single biggest failing was the quality of the food. We only ordered three breakfast plates, but they all had a common theme, elements were cold as if the food had just been taken out of a fridge or had been cooked but left before plating up. I expected so much more and was left disappointed, so much so I would not recommend.

Second visit this year. Really great food, well prepared and good value. Throughly recommended for food. However, our experience and having checked with others since l, it is a consistent theme that senior front of house is not to the same standard and needs attention. Bill adjusted and apology given so due acknowledgement, but a bad end to a good night is what one walks away with. I would have given four stars but that says ‘very good’ so it had to be three. Sorry.

I visited the establishment for my birthday meal and I wish I had read all of the reviews before I went because 30% of them are VERY POOR! Our tablet was right in the centre of the busy area (so couldn't be missed) but however our waitress was extremely forgetful... she would forget to take our order, bring things we ordered or ask us if we wanted any more drinks. I had to wave her down each time which was embarrassing for me. And as much as I love a roast dinner, I dont enjoy eating my yorkshire pudding on its own at the end. Anyway, these were the red flags I should of picked up but I continued to enjoy my company. So the bill comes, and its a special occasion so although spending almost £300 on a roast dinner for 4 we decided to go to the bar to continue the party. As soon as I got to the bar I was asked to wait whilst the barman got his previous order ready (Which is fine), I then went on to ask him for 4 tequilla rose shots..he responded "They are too expensive" and then said £10 each. I hadnt asked for the price and nor did I think the bar man would tell anyone else in that restaurant that the shot is too expensive. My friends and I (all who are of colour) were really offended by his remark. He then went on to pour a clear shot, I said that the tequilla rose and he replied yes its a premium version we do its flavoured tequilla. I then responded that thats not what we had asked for and asked him to replace it for something not so strong. The comment really bothered us all but the overall experience made us feel invisible there. At no point did I mention a refund, that wasnt what I wanted, it was a birthday meal and we wanted to be treated like paying customers. I then reached out to the restaurant over Instagram as I am a food and lifestyle blogger and my friends also agreed that I should raise this with them. A lady from the restaurant responded quite abruptly and asked for my number. On the phone she said "theres no way he would of said it like that". As a paying customer I expect you to investigate racism thoroughly - she then went on to make her own dialogue up with "his side of the story" when it must of all been recorded on CCTV. I also had 3 witnesses. She went on to say "my husband is nigerian" - which is COMPLETELY irrelevant to my complaint. She didnt resolve the issue, instead sent me a follow up on message on IG offering me a free birthday drink lol I didnt complain to get free drinks. If me and my guests are visiting a restaurant we expect them to treat us with respect and then for management to take this matter seriously and not brush it off as a "misunderstanding" on my part. I will continue to raise awareness until the establishment takes FULL accountability for this incident.

Our Sunday lunch started well with enjoyable starters (prawn cocktail, smoked salmon) promptly and cheerfully served. But…we then had to wait over an hour for our main courses. Given that we were with a small child, this was way too long and even if we had not been with a child, it was still unacceptable. When we eventually asked, we were told that the kitchen was busy serving a table of 14 and that we would have to wait until that was completed. Another fifteen minutes went by and we asked again, this time being told that the food would come in five minutes. Fifteen minutes later it arrived. At no time did any of the waiting staff proactively warn us that our food was delayed, no offer was made to give us eg, free drinks to compensate and the bill came with the service charge added. There was no apology. Why the manager did not come to explain and apologise is quite beyond me. As for the quality of the mains, a mixed report. The burger was overcooked but the chicken burger was quite enjoyable as was the pizza. This was all a great shame as the place had real promise and the space was warm and welcoming.

Went to the Hart Street Tavern for a Xmas Eve lunch which fell on a Sunday so it was the Sunday menu . We were going to order the Sunday roast but luckily baby Jesus smiled down on us. The table next to us had Sunday lunches served before we ordered - one look at their faces of absolute horror and we changed our order to 2 chicken burgers, as the rest of the menu was limited due to it being Sunday. Burgers were £18 each and were served with ‘house fries’. Burger was dry and bland and a little overcooked and and it took up about half the bun. Fries were pretty good and we also ordered 2 beers and a glass of house wine The bill came to £64 which took an added 20 minutes to get, and included a generous tip for the service. This is the season of goodwill but that was pretty poor by any standards. Won’t be going back anytime soon.

Sad to say a bit of a disappointment. The staff seemed very disorganised. I know it's the Friday before Christmas, but we arrived at 6pm. Missed sales opportunities due to lack of attentiveness, around empty drinks. The challenge with having an open serving area is that people can see the disorganisation happening, and the chef trying to get service, with food under the lights. The Goats Cheese Flatbread was lovely, as was the pork tenderloin. I'm sure a watercress salad should contain more than just watercress, and I did manage to find a slice of pickles shallot. Sadly, the crisp belly pork was anything but crisp.

Dueto the great ambiance we previously had come here for a few pre diner drinks before heading out somewhere this time we thought we would eat here. But seeing tripadvisor rating of 3.5 I started to have second thoughts..... but we were very nicely surprised some of the best pork fillet I have tasted and perfectly cooked. The belly of pork was equally amazing. We could not fault it so clearly the food was not the issue. Maybe service.... Nope that was also some of the best we have had for a little while friendly prompt and when they did not have the beer I wanted they bent over backwards to find something I liked (and succeeded). So brilliant night, great food, service spot on (there only when you needed them, attentive and very friendly). Great vibe...... So clearly some might have felt they got a 3.5 service in the past but we certainly got 5 out of 5 service/food and great value for money.

Service appallingly slow. For a chef that has worked in Michelin stared restaurants the menu is sad. I ordered a rare sirloin steak, it arrived over cooked and was happily replaced in 10 minutes, unfortunately it was Blue, I could live with that but it was taking me 3+ minutes to chew 1 mouthful, I gave up. They did not charge. Wine was very expensive for a Bistro [that is what it is] £140 + service for a mediocre Meursault! I will not be returning.

When I read the reviews about hart street I was shocked as a local I have always loved Hart Street and the times I have been have always been enjoyable. I am not one to write reviews but I always read them before I go anywhere, I would like to let everyone else who may be reading these reviews that Hart Street has always been my favourite Dinner or Sunday lunch spot in henley. I went to Hart Street last Sunday and I had the most wonderful staff serving me. They were fully aware of what was on the menu both drinks and food. This made the whole dining experience better as I always know what I will be receiving. I came with my family and son who had a nut allergy, they were very accommodating to this and made him feel comfortable about the food he was eating. Both front of house and management team are just superb, This is a restaurant where I come with friends or family and they always want to go back. We had sat on the lovely circle tables, which led to it being easy to communicate with my family across the table. Hart Street is one of my favourite spots to celebrate as they always make birthday plates which make anyone who receives them feel so looked after. They are so accommodating for any customer requirements, I asked the waitress if the bartender could make me an Oat Latte with a bit of chocolate in it, she assured me that he could do that. When it came out it the latte art is phenomenal and it was one of the best Oat milk lattes I have had. I would highly recommend everyone to go here.

It has always been a nice place to go to for dinner. This time - piano man was loud and not great tunes. Staff seemed more interested in chatting to themselves including the manager, so had to keep putting hand up - nearly had to get up and find someone to get the bill. Food - ok - missed the flat iron steak that seemed to have gone from the menu. Just all a bit meh, which is a shame.

The 'Manager' took it away and we asked for it to be cooked, half an hour later we still had not received the order back! I complained to the 'Manager' who was the rudest hospitality worker I have ever had the misfortune of meeting, said we told him we did not want it any more! He obviously didn't listen to what we said and when we stated we had been waiting for an hour and a half, he said 'well that's your opinion'. This armature manager (possible co-owner) has no idea how to manage and run a successful restaurant. I would give this place a wide berth if I was you, disgraceful service and what food was received was uncooked and underwhelming. Side note, the owners details we asked for were incorrect, obviously ashamed of his own actions.

Food is very average, but the ambiance is wonderful, with live jazz and lovely interior.

Main course took its time to arrive, had to be reminded after a our starters. We also mentioned a birthday celebration at the time of booking, which was totally forgotten. Will be thinking twice before booking.

Always been one of our go to places to eat until last night…..!! None of the favourite snacks on the new menu, ham hock croquettes, focaccia bread were the best, instead just starters which aren’t particularly mouth watering, so we had none!! No fish on...

2 amazing cocktails and mouthwatering sorbets. Great taste, relaxing venue, fabulous service from the cocktail barman. Very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. Would definitely revisit.

We came here on a very dull and rainy afternoon for lunch and it was still rather busy, so assume it is a locals favourite. Service was with a friendly smile and was swift and efficient. Some excellent choices of drinks as well as food, something for everyone, the half hungry or starving! Decent non alcoholic drinks / beers for the drivers of this world which was nice! Opted for the fresh plaice and deer steak both succulent and perfectly cooked and proportions were perfect. Prices on par with others in the area, all very clean and spacious, there are a lot of decent eateries in Henley but this one is in definitely in the top half.

We went for a family meal and decided to treat ourselves, one of my daughters is a vegetarian and she found lots of options. The food was lovely, my other daughter and I shared the châteaubriand which was genuinely melt in the mouth, so amazing...

Large bistro restaurant with a variety of seating areas, bar and garden. Service was friendly and menu has something for everyone. We shared a crispy flatbread and had salads to follow (super greens with halloumi / chicken Caesar), both fresh, well dressed and tasty.

On entrance to the tavern, i appreciated it’s it’s subtle decor. This contrasted well with the grand design of the indoor restaurant, which was accompanied with a view of chefs working vigorously over their stoves. As I reached the end of the restaurant I first...

This is a wonderful place to eat, great food but some may feel it is expensive. Food worth it though.. We visited during the Henley regatta period but we were able to walk in and grab a table, they advised they have some for walk-in diners. We sat in the garden, lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Great selection of beverages including several gins which we just had to try. Would go back if in Henley.

What a fantastic little find! My husband and I were in Henley at a hotel round the corner from this wonderful bar. Lured in by the live music we were truly wowed by the Thursday night piano player. Just fantastic to see so many people...

I don’t usually write bad reviews but feel compelled to after our very poor and disappointing experience. We came on Father’s Day and have never had such a bad meal. Service very slow for food. The halloumi starter was dry and minuscule and the deep...

The food was excellent but the service was poor. Maybe not enough staff? We were in the garden and waited more than an hour for the waitress to return and check if we wanted anything else

The steak was local and was cooked perfectly. The wait staff was very attentive and the price was right. I highly recommend this establishment.

Very disappointed with our visit. We have always loved the Bottle and Glass and understood that the Tavern was linked to it. We went on a Monday evening. My burger was dry and tasteless, the bun tasted stale. Service was pleasant although not very attentive....

First time at the Red Lion and if they keep the quality that they had today, it will certainly not be the last. From the lovely touch of having an old book to show my table was reserved, the beautiful artichoke soup, the perfectly cooked lamb, one of the best I have ever eaten, hardly any fat and just the right amount of gravy, the seasoning that was spot on and not the over salty trend that has hit so many good pubs in Oxfordshire. Hold on to your chef and lovely young team please! This was truly a sensational Sunday Roast, served with a smile. Ps cherry on the icing, being greeted by the scent of an open fire on arrival!

Lovely place for an evening cocktail (or cheeky glass of Rose) in Henley
