Harvey Nichols' Dominic Ford points out that the store carries only two restaurant guidebooks, including the Zagat Survey, which gave his restaurant a mixed review. "I would not refuse to stock a book based on a bad review," says Ford. "I have just chosen...

...Harden and Zagat both acknowledge that for a restaurant to be reviewed it has to be mentioned by the people who fill out their surveys. "Harrods and Selfridges in-store restaurants hardly ever come up, even though I am sure they have good food," says Harden. "Harvey Nichols' restaurant is open at night, which makes it a destination restaurant rather than a place you stumble into for lunch while shopping...
