Hear from our valued guests
Been here a couple of times from work and on my own. Great food. Right on the Lake it a great place to eat. Had to try this new meatball sub I saw on the menu. 👍
Awesome dining experience. Harborside was recommended by one of their servers. “”Anthony !!”” His descriptions of the food offerings and invitation was the reason for our visit. Service was perfect, food was excellent and served with incredible timing (Anthony & Tausha). We will definitely return and bring guests for a great experience.
Instantly become on one of my favorite!!!! Must go and it does matter if you don't like desserts, try the pinaple romcake. The best I ever have in my entire life!!!
For the concept and seafood, I was here for lunch so not sure how representative it is of the rest of the offerings but I was happy with what I got. Ordered the Baja tacos and the alligator bites (since I’m in Florida)… the bites were well seasoned and the creole dipping sauce was good. I should have waited for lemons tho. Not sure if anyone out there can make gator less tough… may just be the nature of gator. The tacos were pretty good. Service was good but the atmosphere was lacking some boat life vibe IMO..
Service was awesome. Atmosphere good. Beautiful lake. Food was good except the steak. I requested very well don't no pink. The steak was very uncooked. I couldn't eat it.
The food is amazing. The triggerfish special is outstanding as well as the truffle filet mignon. The pineapple rum cake was delicious snd moist. We went there for New Year's Eve when we started dating, and now again for my boyfriend's birthday. We even got to see a fisherman catch a bass. If you haven't been, you need to go!
We had a delicious lunch after our 2 hour boat cruise overlooking the lake. Me and my significant other got the ribeye meatball sub and it was one of the best we have ever tried. My daughter got the kids Alfredo pasta which was a big hit!! Highly recommended
We loved The Harborside so much that we ate here three times in one week — and honestly, we’d do it again just for the fish sandwich. Holy moly. Perfectly cooked, fresh, flaky fish with a light, crispy coating, piled high and bursting with flavor. Every bite was better than the last. This sandwich alone is worth the visit, but the consistently great food, relaxed waterfront vibe, and friendly service keep bringing us back. If you’re anywhere nearby and don’t stop at Harborside, you’re seriously missing out. We’ll definitely be back… probably sooner rather than later.
We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant today. The atmosphere was great. We were welcomed and immediately offered a booth overlooking the water. Shortly after being seated Ainsley our server came by and took our drinks order and introduced us to her trainee Skye. They did an excellent job taking care of us. We loved the clam chowder. I’m from New England and worried about the added flavor but the fresh dill added a lovely flavor to it. There was home made crusty bread and butter served next. It would have gone well with the soup but we did get oyster crackers. We shared the coconut shrimp with fresh mango pico and remoulade. The shrimp were jumbo and perfectly cooked. We each ordered the beer battered fish and chips with key lime tartar sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked. The fries are coated and would have been better left as is but they were crisp and cooked. The tartar has a nice tang from the lime. We took home loads of leftovers and a slice of pineapple upside down cake in a pinacolada sauce with a cherry to have for dessert. We will definitely be back and would 100 percent recommend.
Love this place! We had just watched the ski show, and needed to find somewhere to get dinner with our dog in tow. I wanted fish n chips. We asked Google and harborside was on the list. There was a wait for inside seating, but we had our dog so we needed patio seating anyway. Lots of tables available, and a beautiful view, it was a very nice day to sit outside, by the time we left though it was dark and the mosquitos weren't being nice! Patio over looked shipp lake, and a canal leading into it. We got hush puppies with a dipping sauce, hush puppies were delicious with or without it, the sauce had a tiny bit of heat. We also got gator bites with a dipping sauce. I'm not a big fan, but my husband is. For gator bites they were good, the sauce was kinda blah. We both got the filet with twice baked potato, and sautéed mushrooms. We both got our steak cooked medium, came perfectly cooked, nice cut of meat! Tender, juicy, no unedible peices! The twice baked potatoe was very good, as well as the sliced (portabella?)mushrooms! We ordered desert to go, cheesecake with berry compote and homemade whipped cream, chocolate cake with whipped cream and an orange garnish. Omy gosh it was worth it! Large portions of everything, i had leftover too take home with my dessert. Our dog Tucker enjoyed some gator bites! They also brought him a water dish as soon as we got there. The servers were all so attentive, friendly , and happy! So happy we came here, i didn't get fish and chips, as its a lunch item; so I'll have to come again, but earlier next time! Not disappointed though!
