"A Tuesday lunch (online booking) for 1pm for myself and my parents. My father is Diabetic so we need to make sure he eats on time, hence the booking. Booking wouldn't have been necessary otherwise. I haven't lived in Milton Keynes for 27 years and was visiting the folks. Really impressed with the menu (it's essentially pub fayre) but with a huge amount of choice! I wanted to try their rotisserie chicken but I also wanted ribs. They had a menu item which had both! Result! The sage and onion fries were tasty (and a bit different) the accompanying gravy pot was excellent and just what the dish needed. It would've been a bit dry without it and I love dipping my fries in gravy! We were seated quickly, served politely and the food came fresh and really pretty promptly. We all really enjoyed what we'd ordered...parents went for Scampi and Fish&Chips. The free salad bar was superb, tonnes of choice! The only downside for me, is that it's pretty dark inside and the furniture (some chairs) were a bit grubby. They've definitely seen better days and the toilets were closed. The signage was terrible and a customer told me that I had to use the ladies. After eating the ribs I only needed to wash my hands. I'd certainly make a return visit."

The restaurant is lovely, the staff were lovely, and the food was delicious. The only thing I would like to see changed, is more mini desserts. I don't like blackberries, and I'm not a big fan of brownies, I did try the brownie, but didn't like it.

Restaurant heating was not on, had to go to bar area to warm up after our meal. Otherwise, service and staff efficient, attentive and friendly. The food was served in good time and was delicious. My husband is vegetarian and very impressed with his choices and options for non vegan cheese, portion size was good too, he is 6 feet tall and often vegetarian meals are undersized. Well done!

My wife asked for steak well done but it came back rare The waitress when informed immediately took the steak back to the kitchen however by the time she returned it my wife had already eaten the rest of her food and wouldn’t eat the steak on its own I never complain about restaurants I simply do not return so we payed including the supplement and left Also the lad who took our order did not appear to listen to anything we said the likely cause of the error) and I had to ask for a beer after I had ordered which he had forgotten

Went to Harvester last night with my family, haven't been in years. It definitely gone down hill. We were sited next to two untidy tables full off unfinished food, serviettes on the floor, it was not pleasant to sit there for 30minutes before somebody came to clear it out, oh and forgot to pick up dirty napkins off the floor. There was hardly any salad, most of trays sauces were empty and it was 6pm, rolls were not fresh, looked stale, my daughter had one bite and said they didnt tasted fresh. Pepsi tasted flat, couldn't drink it. Steak was ok but too grisly and lukewarm and halloumi again lukewarm, only chips were hot. The place also looked very understaffed. Sorry, but I wont be going ther...

First, worst experience, at a harvester. Usually the staff are really nice, polite and helpful. We got the waitress with attitude. We arrived and sat in reception to be seated. 10 minutes later still no staff. My husband went to find a member of staff. Boy did we. The girl waitress from hell. She said do you have a booking. No we don't. Oh well it is the weekend! The place was empty near enough. Then we are parade past empty tables to the furthest one. My husband said isn't there one closer as my wife is disabled and struggles with walking. To which she responded well the lady was sat down when I first Saw you at which point my husband got defensive and said he didn't like her attitude which...

"Absolutely average restaurant. Dirty bamboo table mats and super dirty windows, kinda sad to look out of them. Impatient service, who under 6 minutes 5 times came back trying to pressure me to take my order. I was confused as I thought it was a restaurant not a fast food place. Silly me who used to live in Japan though the menu is just like there, with pictures. How wrong I was...So getting my phone to have a look at their website, what kinda different that in the restaurant menu card one. When I tried to ask for reconditions, I didn't get any, she just straight away took the last what I asked. The steamed algae was very nice, but my noodle soup was a big surprise, as I have no idea what's roasted (burned) pepper and massive chunks of onions doing there? It's supposed to be sea food, but instead just some burned vegetables scared with frozen octopus, mussels and mini calamari rings poured up with chicken broth. So yeah, kinda disappointing. Drink wise I asked the waitress do they have any tonic water as it isn't listed on the menu card, she looked at me like I am a weirdo. I asked for Roku gin what is my favourite. On the receipt was counted as an extra pound because Japanese. Lol, no comment. Getting the drinks, from other restaurants you get the spirit on the rocks in the glass and front of you they pouring the mixer drink from the mini bottle. Here not, just straight away together as it comes. Oh and don't bother asking without lemon, because you are getting one either way. So Akasaka restaurant did not become my favourite one. Once and last. Easily can be forgotten. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £20–30 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4"
