About

Harlees is a well-known spot on the Quay. While many enjoy the fresh fish and crispy batter, there is a significant divide in customer experience. Some find it the best in town, while others complain about small portions, high prices, and rude staff. It is a convenient stop, but consistency seems to be an issue.
