Yelp.com Review - by Christopher H.

3.0 of 5 stars. I can't quite decide where I want to rate them. They're more a 3.5 than anything, and I'm not sure what side of that I want to rate them on. I think at the end of the day a 3 is about right.I swung...

5.0 of 5 stars. If you are in downtown Athens and don't want to wander too far or eat at a chain or cheap-student-food kind of place, then this is where you need to go. Really great po' boys on really good French...

Doesn't Get Much Better

The food here is amazing. And wash it down with a hurricane, and it doesn't get much better. Sit in the back for a nice atmosphere! Staff are great, and prices aren't too bad. Great for afterwork.

EVEN THE GNATS THOUGHT THE FOOD WAS GOOD !!

Date of visit: 9/9/08 time: 7p.m. Thinking that our second visit would be better than the first visit when we never got to eat at Harry Bissets, we made reservations so we would not have a problem getting a...

Nice upscale restaurant

A very nice upscale restaurant but reasonably affordable, especially if you can make it for lunch during the week. Also has a nice bar, which caters to an older crowd than most of the bars in a college town.

great food

The food is always amazing here. The dinner can be a little pricy but it is totally worth it. The food at lunch is great and the prices are a little cheaper then.

Absolute Favorite!

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Athens. I have never had a meal I didn't love and the atmosphere is really elegant but laid back at the same time.

Harry Bissets by Allison S. at InsiderPages

Fine dining, pretty expensive, but you are paying for their overly helpful wait staff and light hearted, comfortable atmosphere. The menu has a spicy shrimp option, and I promise you they mean it, it will...

We found a pearl by Nikki G. at InsiderPages

This is a decent place to eat downtown. The upstairs rooms are cozy while the downstairs are crowded. Get the dining room that overlooks broad street. Try the raw oysters, we found a pearl last time we went.
