The standout feature at Harbour Fish and Grill is the fish and chips. Many patrons rave about the perfectly crispy exterior and fluffy inside, asserting it's some of the best in the region. The burgers also receive high praises, with many declaring them among the best they’ve ever tasted. Another highlight is the desserts, especially the sticky toffee pudding, which seems to have left a lasting impression on visitors. The quick service adds to the charm, with diners often noting the speed at which food arrives, ensuring you won’t wait long once you’re seated.

Most Disliked
While Harbour Fish and Grill generally garners positive reviews, occasional criticisms arise about the busy times when it's hard to find a table. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak hours. Some have noted that the noise level can be elevated when the restaurant is bustling, which might detract from an otherwise enjoyable meal. A few patrons have also mentioned that while the menu is extensive, they would appreciate more seasonal or daily specials to add variety. Although the overall experience is largely positive, these points can occasionally leave diners feeling less than satisfied during busy times, especially if they visit without a reservation.

Best chips my partner and I have ever had! We would not say that lightly as we eat a LOT of chips from all over the country, came here on the spur of the moment after getting my vaccine and cannot believe how good they are! If there were more stars I would give them

We had not booked at went on a busy evening but waitress found us a table fast and we ordered drinks, they came within 2 minutes. Not sure of name of waitress (black hair) but friendly & smiley, quick at serving and then cleaning tables after each person. Mains came within 10 minutes and was presented beautifully, the portion was perfect and the taste was delicious. Desserts are the best around! Great chefs, great waiters & waitresses

Thoroughly enjoyable visit, the food was great, freshly cooked and tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant was clean and looked freshly refurbished. I am glad I didn't read the reviews before are there because some of the people obviously went to a different restaurant.

Had a lovely meal here. Staff were friendly and attentive, food was well priced and tasted good, portions were sufficient and we were able to choose where to sit as it was pretty quiet. All in all, a great experience.

We attended our grandson's birthday dinner here. The service was excellent and the restaurant was spotless. Unbeknown to us the staff put balloons and stars on the table which was a super surprise. The food was delicious. The staff were kind enough to bring out a birthday cake with candles lit and could not have been more helpful. A nice family friendly restaurant for young and old. Recommend highly. Kevin andJo Ball
