Simple order of sandwich and salad took 30 minutes to do. Place wasn't busy at all. Workers chit chatting at the kitchen.

The only choice at Two Harbors, but well worth it! The food is well prepared and the staff is courteous. I highly recommend it.

I ordered a fruit cup and a latte, and unfortunately it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. The latte was probably the bitterest I’ve ever tried, and the watermelon in the fruit cup tasted like it had been sitting around for a week—it had already gone bad. On top of that, the service was not welcoming at all. Definitely won’t be coming back, even if it’s the only place around and I’m hungry.

This establishment is the worst for keeping the whole town awake at night with its electronic music.

We had such a pleasant lunch at Harbor Reef. We got the watermelon salad, chaat-chos, and the fried chicken burger with gochujang and kimchi. Everything was delish! The watermelon saladwas so refreshing and scrumptious. It was a little bit overdressed, though, so if you are particular about your dressing-to-salad ratio maybe ask for the dressing on the side. The chaat-chos were surprisingly good! They really did get a good chaat Indian flavor going. I only wish they serve it with actual naan and not pita bread. The kimchi fried chicken burger (can’t remember the actual name) was SO GOOD. Loved the potato roll, the flavors, and the spice. The fried chicken thigh was juicy and crispy. Overall, a truly great experience!!

We came up for a late lunch and had the BEST time. Our server Caroline was very sweet and accommodating (we had a few special requests) the food was 😋 we had the Chaat-chos as an appetizer, but we dug in so fast, I didn't get a picture. My husband had the black bean burger and I had the ahi tuna and my friend had the oke poke and it was all very fresh and tasty. Thanks again to Caroline for the exceptional service. We hope to come back soon and taste the rest of the menu.
I almost forgot to mention the fresh cut potato chips were also great 👍

Yum!

We stopped for lunch at Harbor Reef while we were visiting Catalina. We were actually the first people to get the lunch menu (which starts at 10:30) and it was great.

We got their burger, their hot dog with bell peppers and bacon, and their nachos. All 3 were delicious and fresh. The nachos were generously topped, which I appreciated because dry nachos suck :(

The seating outside was beautiful and gives you a good view of the palms and sand.

Everything pictured came to 46 dollars, which I think was fair for a heavy lunch, especially in a more touristy area.

Good eats! 😼

The food tasted a bit off. Like something wasn't fresh or had been sitting too long. Not just bland, but questionable. The wait staff seemed completely disengaged, like they'd rather be anywhere else. No energy, no hospitality, no effort.
Beautiful location, but it feels like they're phoning it in and coasting on the view. Would not recommend.

Our most recent visit was awful. The food was shockingly bad. The orange cauliflower was soggy and flavorless. The pub burger tasted like it came off a cafeteria tray. It was dry, bland, and low quality.
Worse than the food was the atmosphere. The energy in the restaurant was cold and off-putting. The staff all looked miserable.
