The Harbor Bistro offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with a small interior space decorated with local art and a casual bistro feel. The menu features a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, such as the beet and goat cheese salad, the grilled peach and prosciutto starter, and the perfectly cooked sea bass served with smashed potatoes and lobster nage. Guests have also raved about the French onion soup, as well as the rib-eye steak, salmon, and other entrees. Recently, diners enjoyed a fantastic brunch-lunch experience with delicious food and a lively, buzzing downtown scene filled with activity from the farmers market and art show. The outdoor seating was comfortable and shaded, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a great meal just minutes from the beach.
The restaurant is run by a seasoned restaurateur, and the staff work to provide a welcoming experience for diners. Recent reviews praise the excellent service, with the server Tammy described as professional, engaging, and fun. Customers have highlighted the delicious food, including the perfectly fried calamari, ham and cheese sandwich, and steak sandwich. The mussels in a buttery garlic broth have also been a hit. One guest mentioned the lobster roll with fries, filled with plenty of fresh lobster meat and great flavor, while another appreciated the accommodating service for a Connecticut style lobster roll, hot and buttered. The homemade chips received praise for their yummy taste. The cocktails are also well-loved; a lavender martini is crisp and infused with fresh lavender, not thick or overly sweet, and a drink with limoncello cream, prosecco, and mint was described as very yummy, with the limoncello cream sourced straight from Italy.
With its charming ambiance, delicious food, and attentive staff, the Harbor Bistro has quickly become a local favorite, offering a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience in a very casual setting that feels special with five-star food and service.
