Food: bang bang mango shrimp- decent, sweet. Would order again. Lobster chowder- crunchy veggies in, no discernible lobster taste despite the tablespoon of diced frozen lobster on top; tempura asparagus: giant asparagus spears, perfectly cooked with delicious sauce but half inedible due to woody stalks. Crab cakes were terrible--crunchy exterior w mushy brown interior. Flavor off, crab not fresh, no obvious pieces of crab. Apparently frozen mass produced. Fried catfish: heavy crunchy breading. Good except for the bloodline. Coleslaw mass produced from a bag. Blackened snapper: good flavor, overcooked and dry with succotash made from either canned or frozen corn and beans. Drinks: nothing special, watered down, service: average. Ambiance: very casual and fast paced. Limited water view with loud interstate noise. Extremely disappointed with mediocre if not terrible crab cakes. Would I go back? Hell no. Red lobster food touting itself as fine dining.

We meet some friends here for lunch. We sat on the patio and the weather was perfect. Since we have not seen our friends in a while it took us a while to figure out what we wanted to eat since we were talking a lot. The wait staff did not rush us at all. The food was great. We will definitely come back.

I was working at the MSC office on Harbor Drive and decided to come here for lunch with some co-workers. It was close proximity to the office and had amazing views. The weather was absolutely perfect so we sat on the patio. Everyone else had the same idea so there was a short wait- maybe 10 minutes. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich which came with a side Caesar salad. The salad was a bit bland. The dressing was lacking flavor. I did really enjoy my chicken salad sandwich though. I'd rate the sandwich a 7/10. Service was fine too but our checks did take a bit long. A lot of people come on their lunch break so that could be a problem if you're pressed for time. Overall the food was a 3.5 but the atmosphere and views really enhance the vibe to an overall 4 stars. A lot of the appetizers looked really good and I wished I could've tried them but I didn't have the time. Would come back again for the drinks! They had two pages of cocktails and I'd I weren't in the middle of the work day I would've loved to try a few.

We have been here multiple times, usually with a group or work associates. Lots of options, some things are really great, like the scallops, some dishes are nothing to write home about. I do love their espresso martinis.

North Harbor Club never disappoints. The food is consistently high quality and well presented. The service is a good balance between a water front casual and fine dining. The staff are always attentive and professional. Regardless of dining inside with my wife on a date or meeting friends outside beside Lake Norman views North Harbor club is a go to place.

Pretty typical bar food. Fried everything, if you're good with that. Its not fine dining to be fair.

I called this morning to make an Easter reservation & was told to call back 15 minutes later. When I did, someone picked up the phone but never said anything. Thinking something must have been wrong with their phone, I hung up & redialed only to be told "If you're the one who keeps calling, it's obviously not helping you get a reservation". I have never been to this establishment but was excited to bring my family. This will now never happen. The disrespect of the hostess or whoever answered the phone has turned me off to this place. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Unfortunately the food we ordered was very bland. We chose the restaurant based on the good reviews and pictures, but they were deceiving. We ordered the Lobster Chowder, Crispy Snapper Sandwich & Fried Pickles. Lobster Chowder was too sweet due to carrots. No crackers came so we asked for some which they apparently charged us $3 for. Snapper Sandwich was generic and ketchup was the only thing that made it palatable. Fried pickles were good though and so was the service.

Ate at the bar because the restaurant was slammed on a Friday night. Crab cakes and salads were delish. Burgers too. Our server was prompt. The bar atmosphere was loud with lots of screens on mute. Hard to hear each other at our table for 4.Dietary restrictions: GF friendly
Great location, it is missing some love and attention to detail. The waitress was very friendly, the food was average in terms of presentation and lacked real taste. The location is beautiful, so much more to do with it.

Our server was awesome, restaurant was busier than expected (management had sent 2 servers home before dinner, thinking it wouldn't be busy) & they had a wifi issue, our server was very apologetic & remained pleasant & attentive. The food was so-so, the crabcake was too spicy (there was no mention of spice level on menu). The beet salad was plentiful with good dressing, but the beets tasted canned. The beef short rib was very tender & flavorful, the sides were just average. Drinks were creative mixtures & on the pricey side. I am not from the area, just passing through, however if I'm in the area again I would not return. The view was very pleasant & if warmer sitting outside on the water would have been our choice.
