It’s like the only bar in town, but still good.
The staff were so kind and welcoming to our group of queer friends!
Food not bad- typical bar/american fare but right off the ferry dock when you arrive to Catalina, and just wow- these views and experience unbeatable ♡

The Harbor Reef Restaurant & Bar is a popular spot on Catalina Island, known for its friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The menu, recently revamped with a new chef, offers a variety of options such as fish and chips, hamburgers, swordfish, tuna poke chips, clam chowder, mahi sandwich, and more. The location right on the beach provides stunning views of the pristine harbor, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Customers have praised the service, with staff members like Terri being especially friendly and caring, making diners' experiences enjoyable. The restaurant also offers a self-serve drink bar with free refills, adding to the laid-back vibe. They have a vegan option called the Ben Weston Banh-mi, which is good but a little salty, and vegetarian options are available, though some are not labeled. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, with a variety of beers and tasty food such as okie pokie nachos and fish and chips. Recent reviews highlight the great food, friendly service, and beautiful outdoor seating, with dishes like the fried chicken burger with gochujang and kimchi, black bean burger, ahi tuna, oke poke, and fresh-cut potato chips. Customers especially enjoyed the fresh and flavorful meals, noting the generous toppings on nachos and the juicy, crispy fried chicken thigh. Overall, Harbor Reef remains a favorite for its friendly staff, excellent views, and delicious menu.
