    Wonderful view and we had great service. We’ve always enjoyed coming here. The food was very good. We had the lobster bisque and the clam chowder. Both were good. We shared the Caesar salad, which was crisp and tasty, and we shared the chicken creamy pesto pasta that was very satisfying, our server was very attentive, and the food was presented promptly, considering the location and the quality of food and the ambience of the restaurant. We felt that we got very good value for our dollar spent.

    So LOVE this restaurant. Every time I am in town, I come here. 4 times this week so far. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful and they always greet me with a big smile and hello. Thank you so much.

    Silverware and plates were dirty. But overall, not a bad place for a quick lunch.

    The food was delicious but the service was very slow and it was very loud. That’s understandable with holiday parties yet no one addressed my concerns and the waiter had so much to handle he was slow getting to us. Also when I called earlier in the day to reconfirm the reservation they confirmed that there valet parking available. When I arrived on time it was full, causing us to be 30 minutes late in order to find parking 5 blocks away.

    We arrive for a reservation at 5:30 pm. We informed the server after waiting 20 minutes.  that we needed to be out of there at 6:40 to catch a boat. 615 we still have no drinks. Waiter is nowhere to be found. Finally our drinks arrive and we didn’t have time to order dinner. The server of the drinks from the bar was kind enough to take our order and we ordered appetizers which were fabulous. We also asked for our bill at the same time when they delivered that

    The Harborside is a great location to enjoy the boating activities in Newport Bay. Located in a unique, old building that is part of the history and culture of Newport Bay, the food is fresh, good and reasonably priced.
