"My family and I went out to celebrate a birthday, and the food at the restaurant was decent. However, while sitting on one of the chairs, it unexpectedly fell apart. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it was alarming as a retiree was sitting in that chair. Despite this scare, our overall experience was pleasant. The salad bar seemed to have fewer options than before. We were too full to try any desserts."

We made a last-minute reservation, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

We sat outside on a nice sunny day and all had half ribs. Good value but wouldn't choose to sit inside as seemed very dowdy and messy. View menu

The staff were very polite and helpful and food was really lovely. Could do with some background music to assist with drowning out loud peoples conversations and crying kids.

We popped into The Compass with our two small children after shopping. We had a pleasant lunch, the grilled was particularly good and the kids enjoyed theirs. The staff were very accomodative. We would recommend particularly for families with small children.

The Harvester Compasses, was brilliant especially as we booked using ‘open table’ which confirmed a booking but didn’t actually book the table with Harvester, they were fantastic and helped sort out the mess. Please visit eat at Harvester but do not use ‘open table’. View menu

The restaurant did not honor my booking, citing that OpenTable is a third party and they should not have accepted the reservation. While it may be unfair to rate Harvester poorly as they are blaming OpenTable, it ultimately resulted in my mother missing out on going out for Mother's Day.

a rare family day to celebrate a birthday was eating in order. probably one of the chairs fell apart while he was sitting on it. no one was hurt to the happiness, but scared us when sitting in the seat was a profiter. overall, it was just a bit afraid. the salatable seems to have less choice in comparison to pastness. too full to try the dessert.

"Visit with friends. Arrived and the restaurant was very empty at that time of the evening. Shown to a table that had been allocated to us. Asked if we could move to another and I was initially given the impression that that might be difficult. Just to say again that the tables were allocated rather than reserved. Another customer was making a similar request and after some back and forth we could both move. Not the greatest of starts. This restaurant specialises in Punjabi cuisine. That is what attracted us in the first place when reviewing the menu online before we booked. Starters were of a generous size but rather stodgy. Perhaps more filling for a starter than you might expect particularly if you had ordered a main course and were intending to have a dessert. In contrast my wives dessert was very small for the price charged. The main courses were very spicy even though we requested mild. I appreciate that is a preference on our parts but my wife felt the same. We went with a friend who was visibly sweating. He comment on his main fish course was that under the spice it was a little bland. A lady I took to be the owner asked if we were enjoying our main couse? We commented on how spicy they were and asked for some yoghurt to cool them down. This was supplied with no issues and in fact my wife's prawns (only three found sadly) and my lamb main course were taken back to the kitchen to have I assume some of the chillies taken out or additional yoghurt added. This was done very politely and efficiently. Just to add we have absolutely no issues with regional food differences whether they may be. Perhaps our preference in this instance for less spice takes away from the experience the restaurant seeks to give. However requesting when ordering a mild version, and when asked what we preferred as well, makes the customer right. To drink. A beer for me and our friend. A cranberry juice for my wife which apparently tasted like a squash. Service left something to be desired as well I am afraid. On our initial table three menus supplied. On the second only one and had to ask for two more. Table wiped down after our main courses but only one corner? Had to ask several times for the bill, having asked the lady above who dealt with the spicy food issues. In fact she was eating her evening meal behind us with other customers and jumped up and apologised when she realised she had not let us have our bill. The waitress who we dealt with initially about our table allocation asked at the end of our meal if we had enjoyed it and if we would return. Afraid we said no to both. We had a mutually respectable conversation as to why not and discussed the issues above and others. So a disappointing evening I am afraid. However this is a true reflection of our experience from our perspectives."
