Harry Sasson Cartagena: The best meal of your trip, or the most mediocre

When Harry Sasson, Colombia’s most famous chef, decided to open his 6th restaurant, and first one out of Bogota, in Cartagena’s Charleston Santa Teresa, there was no doubt it would be a hit.  His name has become synonymous with high quality food, mix that with the exquisite location within a restored 17th century convent turned hotel in 1995 and you have a recipe for success.  Harry’s Cartagena has quickly become a local hot-spot as well as a tourist destination, which is why I was surprised to find less than stellar reviews about it online.  Having visited various times I have found that it has as many strengths as it does weaknesses causing a disparity in dining experiences.  You can have the best meal of your trip, or the most mediocre, depending on what you order.
