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

My family and I went to harborside for dinner today and our experience was not great, just okay. First the greeter/server Marie told us the wait would be 30 to 45 mins. We agreed and she wrote down my name and phone number. We waited outside for the time to pass and we didn't receive a call or name call so we went inside to ask her about our wait and she she gave us a weird smirk and said oh I called your phone twice, which was a lie because I never received a phone call. He looked at her list and our name had been erased from the waitlist. I was highly upset because this is very poor customer service and they childish smirk upon her face was sinister and intentional done almost like she didn't want to service us. I immediately asked for the manager and let her know the situation and she w

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

★★★★★ 5.0 Tammi Jernick · Dec 2025

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 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
