This was a great place for our event! We had a 15-20 person event and this was the perfect place to hold it. The food is amazing and FAST! Unbelievably FAST! The server Colin was excellent! He help get things set up, very professional, friendly and welcoming! The vibe of the entire restaurant was on point, very diverse crowd, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their self! I'd for sure come back several times over, especially if Colin is helping me!Parking: Safe and secure. Semi-private. Well lit.

Very limited menu. The burgers taste like frozen bubba burgers which are extremely salty. Asked for rare and came out well done. You have to pay extra for bbq sauce. Steak salad was good!

This restaurant is a hidden gem! From the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the incredible food, it's a true 5-star experience. The staff (especially Xzavier) made us feel like VIPs with their friendly and attentive service. And let's talk about the food – it's like a symphony of flavors in every dish. Fresh ingredients, exquisite presentation, and a menu that caters to all tastes. We left with full bellies and big smiles. This place has earned its 5-star rating without a doubt!

look if you calibrate your expectations this is a completely acceptable place to spend an hour or two take a drink enjoy the outside views of the waterfront the marina but please do not expect anything significant from the food. as pictured below, everything is uninspired see the kids meal which consists of Kraft macaroni and cheese barely cooked out-of-the-box wings and a knockoff bloomin Onion that are at best and main course dishes that border on flavorless. excellent server good location nice views nothing wrong with coming here if that's your intention.

We were a large party and ordered our meals at the same time. It took some time for the food to come out, but it's a large party, brunch and Sunday, so no worries! But everyone commented on the fact that their food was cold. We didn't send anything back since we had once children 14 mos., 4 & 9 and they were getting ansey. What we ate was good, our server was great and attentive to us, the children had a ball in the room! We have decided we will try again, hopefully the food will be hot.

We came here for a birthday celebration & unfortunately every single one of us were disappointed. Our waiter was okay & nice but didn’t check up on us often. The food was honestly just not good. Dry, bland, burgers were well undercooked & had to send 3 back. I would not recommend this place to anybody i know. Try at your own risk. The view of the water is nice but that’s really all this place brings. I definitely enjoyed the coca-cola though. Overall, needs a lot of improvement

Xzavier was our waiter and provided excellent service! The food was also great! The seafood Carbonara was a great size and had lots of flavor!

Xzavier was our server & he was awesome!! Great recommendations & super friendly! Food was great too! The fried pickles, hush puppies, and crab spinach dip was my favorite! I also got a Caesar salad with steak which was pretty good! Wish the steak had a little more flavor but all personal preference! Would definitely come back!

Everything was pretty good, but I would have thought a place named Harbour Grille would have more than two seafood options (see menu picture). They did have crab cakes In another section. We ordered an appetizer of hush puppies that were my favorite part of the meal. I had the Blackened Alfredo with Chicken. It was pretty good, but the garlic breadstick that came with it was cold and tasteless. My wife had the mini crab cake appetizer and a side of grilled vegetables. They aren’t joking when they call them mini crab cakes. ? However, the portion of grilled vegetables was surprisingly big. The service was okay, but not great. We sat outside and the atmosphere was “beachy”. Most people were dressed quite casually and there was music playing. The cost was $65 before tip which I felt was a little high for the quality of food and service. All in all, it was a nice meal and pleasant experience, but nothing too special that would make me want to return.Kid-friendliness: There are child options on the menu.
If I could give service here at 6 I would. Romeo and the staff is great here and super welcoming. The drinks are awesome and atmosphere is very chill. They have a lot of events throughout the week so we look forward to those. Definitely check it out!

Wondeful romantic place to get away. The restaurant is next to a marina, so there are lots of boats docked. I expected more seafood other than shrimp and crabs. The service was great, and there was a live band to entertain. One drink I would recommend, sangria or River Water.

Great food great atmosphere. The bartenders Romeo and Dickie are friendly and fast and they keep me coming back.I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience there. I am impressed with this place from one end to the other. It has a large inside bar, great view from the outside bar and deck, clean spacious dining rooms. The Harbour Grille is my favorite restaurant. Kudos to the management too. Keep up the good work.

I hate doing this. Been going here sometime now. Two ownership changes in the last year. I used to take clients here to hang out on my boat, then go up for dinner and drinks. The menu has really shrunk and a lot of the good meals and appetizers are gone! No steak or pasta dishes. Some of the best appetizers are gone. Only 6 full dinners on the menus. It’s becoming more of a bar than a good restaurant. Was there on Friday night and there was hardly no crowd with a band there. Our food came out cold and we seldom saw our waitress. Service was never fast there, but they were always busy. They weren’t on Friday evening and it was still slow with not a good menu to choose from.Being along the water, you would expect a menu featuring seafood, possibly a raw bar, and a good selection of dinner options. Please don’t turn this into another run of the mill sports bars catering to heavy drinkers!
