  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anna was incredible – she turned our day around and saved our visit! Visited yesterday, my nephew’s girlfriend’s first time, she loves a salad bar and had been so excited to come. Arrived at 12.45pm, asked for a table for 3. The tall lady at front was blunt & rude: happily seated the couple right in front of us, then told us no tables were free and said we could only sit outside. I couldn’t believe it. why sit outside when we came for the salad bar, plus you have those heavy glass doors? I even tripped over the big metal strip on the floor just getting in! I said I wouldn’t sit out, she cut me off mid‑sentence: “well I haven’t got a table for you!” Eventually booked us for 1.30pm like it was a total chore, such a bad attitude. We went shopping, my nephew didn’t even want to come back he was that put off. I talked him round as we really wanted her to try the salad bar. Returned at our time, got shown to a lovely corner table… only to be told minutes later we had to move, our pre‑booked table wasn’t even ours! Had to move somewhere far less comfortable, started all over again. This was ridiculous and so unprofessional. Then waited over 10 minutes just for drinks, we were literally walking out to leave or going to ask for a manager when Anna came over. She was warm, calm, professional, and instantly sorted everything. Looked after us perfectly all through the meal, took the time to explained it was chaotic because there were two shows on, which made sense. My nephew was so impressed he only ever asked Anna if he needed anything! He pointed out just how hard she was working and rushing around so everyone enjoyed their meals. After eating, she noticed I’d hardly touched my skewer. I didn’t want to say anything, salad bar was great, she’d been lovely, didn’t want to make a fuss, but she kept checking I was happy. Reluctantly I said it was too spicy; I honestly thought the sauce came separate, not already on it. She went straight to the kitchen, got them to make me a fresh plain one, even boxed it up to take away. Terrible start, but 5 stars purely for Anna. Absolute credit to Harvester you are amazing, the best staff you could meet, thank you so much Anna for saving our visit 💛 Gemma”

  “A nice place to stop for food with a good atmosphere and a great spot by the water. The staff were friendly and everything felt relaxed and welcoming. Overall a really pleasant experience and somewhere I’d happily visit again. We only stopped for some nachos & a few drinks but it was a lovely experience. The kind hostess Jessica also allowed me to charge my phone since it was running low! Top service”

  “We arrived to a busy restaurant which is perfectly fine for a Friday night, we were sat quickly and made to feel very welcome. Our server Elaine was brilliant, she was really informed and clear on where things were up to. She kept checking …”

  “I dare say this is one of the better locations for food quality, the chef does a great job and most of the staff are brilliant. However there is one member of staff who is rather grumpy and judgemental makes me and some others rather uncomfortable, Whenever I see the older lady working I don't bother going in. Noticed a few times she would put up a great smile in front of ppl then talk badly of them behind their backs. Don't let that put you off though.”

  “My partner, Steen & I called in there, on a May Bank Holiday weekend, it was a Saturday evening and we could tell it had been quite busy, that day as the salad bar they have looked as though it had been well ransacked. The fact that one or two customers, still sat in their with their football shirts on showed why it had been busy, because there had been a football match on close by, that day also. From going in, we waited quite a while for someone to come over and show us where we were going to be seated and then a little while after, another young waiter came up to take our orders too. I had their vegan apple pie with vegan ice cream and didn't have to wait too long back there, after my order was taken though and a real generous plate full., it was delicious also. You could have it with vegan custard or ice cream, my personal preference was the ice cream also. It's interesting as they make their own sauces, bottled up too and around 5 or so flavours, from what I could see on a picture up on a wall, in their restaurant also., nice one! The seats we sat on, came across a bit shot at, as they say. Rips down the middle of them, but apart from that, the decor in there was okay on the whole. I would love to go again in there ahead, as that desert I had was sublime!”

  “Had a lovely meal this afternoon with my family, fast service, staff very attentive, no complaints about food which is fab with 4 kids. I'd also like to make a special mention for Elaine our server, she was so good with the kids and made us laugh too and accommodated for us in every way possible. She even got my daughter who is on the spectrum to cheer up before a meltdown started which is amazing. 👏🏼👏🏼 Thankyou Elaine.”

  “Elaine and Rob provided fantastic service (sorry about the accident- you know what I mean) really made us want to come back. The food was tasty too. Salmon off the lunch menu, 3 plates off the small plates menu and the triple combo. All recommended.”

  “I’ve had some solid meals at other stand-alone Harvester locations, so I walked into the Salford Quays spot with decent expectations. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark - and pretty badly. …”
