The food, drinks, and atmosphere were excellent, but the service was disappointing. Our server, Jaydee, was inattentive & unprofessional with the restaurant not being busy, the lack of care stood out.

Meh. I don't write many reviews but here we go..
my bf and I were heading south for a few hours from fairfax and needed a brunch spot. First time here. Pulled into the parking lot on sunday morning around 11am and hardly any cars(first red flag) was seated immediately because nobody was there. We each ordered a drink. He got a mimosa and I ordered a red sangria. Server came back few minutes later explaining they didn't have ingredients to make sangria. They just opened and it's Sunday brunch.
GM came by to ask how things were and we said fine even though we had no food. Few minutes later my Moscow mule came with my food.
French toast- dry. Came with potatoes even though it doesn't mention it on menu. A side of scrambled eggs- runny and under cooked. Potatoes- mushy and oily. His food- crab soup- mostly broth and nothing else. Basic side salad and side of breakfast potatoes as well.
I always finish French toast- not today. Scrambled eggs- not a chance. Def not potatoes either.
Not sure how this place makes it. Sunday brunch should be busy. $65 and def not worth it.

Beautiful location fell short by sub-par food, and very OK service. Crab cake was one I would expect to get in an area that isn't known for blue crabs. The peppers in it were overpowering. Very disappointing. Would not be somewhere I'd recommend.

Harbor Grille has the best fish and chips that we have had in Virginia so far.

What are these white shirts? Part why I come here is the relaxed and fun atmosphere. I came in decked in my Adidas sweats and was greeted with employees in the psuedo-fine dining attire. Part of The Harbour Grille’s customer appeal is the ambiance of a relaxed, family friendly, and personable environment. These white shirts ARE NOT it! If you have a wedding or formal event, I can understand supporting uniforms but not at the bar and general area. Terrible branding. No Jerseys on Sundays? Terrible idea! Change it back.
Vegetarian options: The portobello sandwich is good with a little salt

We experienced significant issues w/ food quality, communication & hospitality on a slow Sunday afternoon for a birthday brunch.
Communication- [3 issues] (1) The adjustment to our party size was acknowledged by the restaurant prior to the day of our visit. That wasn’t communicated internally, and the manager initially refused to see us in the area that was agreed upon - despite the availability of a table/s since it was slow. (2) They didn’t communicate they were out of creamer AND milk until they brought the coffee. (3) When we sent FULL drinks back that were inedible, the waitress didn’t communicate that she would still charge us. Yet, she was happy to bring the other drink I requested as a replacement so she could charge for both.
Food- [4 issues] (1) Chicken was too salty. One in my party sent it back (was still charged), the rest of us drowned it in gravy bc we were starving. (2) The French toast was stale for my friend. (3) My other friend ate her steak but the rest was too cold (pictured) (4) The espresso martinis we gracefully spit back into the glass bc they tasted like pure rubbing alcohol. We sent them back, glasses full. We were still charged WITHOUT the waitress communicating she would still charge us.
Atmosphere- The outdoor area is cold during the winter. There was no heater on the side of the room we were seated (right in front of TV). Avoid that area unless you have a blanket or are ok with keeping your coat on.

Stopped in for some pre-happy hour drinks. Xzavier is one of the most ambitious and talented bartenders. He’s super creative and bursting with drink ideas! Definately the energy you want to find in a bartender. Rare to find in most places; but here they have it.
PS. Tell him to make you custom shooters! They were delicious and so much fun creating. Pictured below… salted recees (cream) and dragon’s blood (pink).
Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Will definately return to have their food!

The Harbour Grille is nestled on the river and is a nice place to eat. The food and drinks are a little pricey but the atmosphere is good. The staff is always attentive to the customers needs. Decent karaoke on Friday nights.
