Wonderful view and we had great service. We've always enjoyed coming here. The food was very good. We had the lobster bisque and the clam chowder. Both were good. We shared the Caesar salad, which was crisp and tasty, and we shared the chicken creamy pesto pasta that was very satisfying, our server was very attentive, and the food was presented promptly, considering the location and the quality of food and the ambience of the restaurant. We felt that we got very good value for our dollar spent.

So LOVE this restaurant. Every time I am in town, I come here. 4 times this week so far. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful and they always greet me with a big smile and hello. Thank you so much.

Drink orders were very slow. Asked for a soon three times. got it on the third time. Great menu! Food was nicely served and hot.

The food was delicious but the service was very slow and it was very loud. That's understandable with holiday parties yet no one addressed my concerns and the waiter had so much to handle he was slow getting to us. Also when I called earlier in the day to reconfirm the reservation they confirmed that there valet parking available. When I arrived on time it was full, causing us to be 30 minutes late in order to find parking 5 blocks away.

We arrive for a reservation at 5:30 pm. We informed the server after waiting 20 minutes.  that we needed to be out of there at 6:40 to catch a boat. 615 we still have no drinks. Waiter is nowhere to be found. Finally our drinks arrive and we didn't have time to order dinner. The server of the drinks from the bar was kind enough to take our order and we ordered appetizers which were fabulous. We also asked for our bill at the same time when they delivered that

The Harborside is a great location to enjoy the boating activities in Newport Bay. Located in a unique, old building that is part of the history and culture of Newport Bay, the food is fresh, good and reasonably priced.

The Harborside has long been our go-to place for special occasions. The Thanksgiving menu was so delicious and just the right portions. Our server Felix was friendly and professional and took very good care of us.

Although loved the chance of window seating being placed in the bar did not the ambiance we thought would have been, we had been told that the main restaurant. was full and very noisy. Unfortunately, some of our party felt uncomfortable and would liked better seating. The food was very good, the turkey cooked to perfection, with all the trimmings. Our waitress was excellent, very friendly and helpful, We will be going back but with a little more knownledge.

Not happy with both food and service. D lady called to confirm my reservation but did not even let me know or check if i was aware it was a set Thanksgiving menu. I thought we could order what we want. Not coming back.

We had a great time at Harborside. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. Bus boy was on it for our waters. We were greeted by the Manager Jeffrey. Burgers were amazing and plentiful

Wife and I eat here whenever there is a discount available. This review is for our visit on Veterans Day. Relatively new waiter who did a great job. We had a reservation requesting a table at the windows and our table was available as requested. We both ordered Coconut Crusted Salmon which is our favorite. This restaurant never disappoints.

I ordered 1/2 rack of lamb...was tasty but very fatty My friend ordered pot roast which she said was not very good. was happy to get window table with view. The service was top, ladies were very friendly, cooperative & gave excellent service.

Quality wasn't what I expected. Fish and shrimp meal was skimpy and tasted like frozen fish from the grocery freezer. My sis had potatoes with gravy that tasted like it came from the jar. Quantity didn't measure up to the price

Delicious food. Had muscles for appetizer, 5 guests had the scallops, swordfish, gf BBQ shrimp, all dishes prepared perfectly, sauces delicious and presentation lovely. Service was outstanding. Our desserts were flourless chocolate cake and key lime cheesecake, they were yummy as well. Coffee was strong and not bitter, just the way we love it!
