We visited The Harbor on Sunday, September 6th, and I really wanted to love this place…read more My husband found it and thought it would be the perfect spot to celebrate our son and his girlfriend's 1-year anniversary. Our son is attending college at Navarro, while his girlfriend lives in Hawaii, and she flew all the way out to Texas just to spend their anniversary with him. My husband and I wanted to treat them to a special dinner, so this wasn't just another night out for us. First, I will say the location is BEAUTIFUL. The drive out there was gorgeous, and being right on the water made us even more excited about dinner. We completely understood that it was a busy holiday weekend. My husband called ahead, and the hostess was kind enough to get us a 6:00 PM reservation. We ended up arriving about 15 minutes late, and despite how packed they were, she was very gracious and seated us immediately. We truly appreciated that. Unfortunately, that's where the good customer service pretty much ended. We sat for almost 25 minutes before our waitress was even able to take our drink order. She was very sweet and apologized, and because we could already see how overwhelmed they were, we tried to be understanding. At that point I told my husband, "Let's just order our food now too because we're probably going to be waiting awhile." Thank goodness we did. Our waitress told us she would bring dinner rolls. More than 30 minutes passed... no rolls. We eventually had to ask for them ourselves. We kept watching more people being seated, especially outside, while we continued to wait...and wait...and wait. Eventually we went outside to take pictures by the water because our food was nowhere in sight. By then, we had been waiting around an hour and 15 minutes. My husband was beyond frustrated and ready to leave, but we had driven about 25 minutes to get there and the kids were STARVING. When he finally asked how much longer our food would take, we were told, "Oh, it's ready." It wasn't. Our food finally arrived around the 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE mark. On top of that, they had run out of the large pizza we ordered and offered us two small pizzas instead. I assumed "small" would still be a reasonable size. Nope. They were basically personal-pan sized--and for what we paid, that was another disappointment. Now, I will absolutely give credit where it's due: when our main dishes FINALLY arrived, the food was delicious. We enjoyed what we ordered. But good food doesn't erase an hour-and-a-half wait with very little communication or attention. When we asked for more rolls, we were told they had run out. By the time everything was said and done, we looked around and realized we were literally the LAST TABLE being served and the last customers leaving. The owners appeared to be at the bar, yet no one came over to acknowledge what had happened, apologize for the excessive wait, or even offer to adjust anything on our bill. And THAT is what bothered me the most!! I understand restaurants get busy. I understand holiday weekends can be crazy. I understand kitchens get backed up and things run out. What I don't understand is continuing to seat customers when your staff and kitchen are already overwhelmed, while customers who have been waiting well over an hour are left wondering when--or IF--their food is coming. Sometimes customer service is simply saying, "We are really sorry. We dropped the ball tonight. What can we do to make this right?" We never got that. I honestly wish I had read some of the reviews before my husband booked our dinner here. The Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and if you want somewhere to enjoy the scenery and take gorgeous pictures by the water, the location delivers. But would I drive 25 minutes back to have dinner there again? Unfortunately, NO. This was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner for two young people we love, and instead most of the evening was spent hungry, waiting, frustrated, and wondering where our food was. Beautiful view. Delicious food once it finally arrived. But the overall experience and customer service left us extremely disappointed. And for us, a beautiful view just isn't enough to make up for that.

I noticed there is a lip on the front door so don't trip- the travel path can be challenging for those with mobility impairment whether that be a wheelchair user or someone who shuffles their feet (as many clientele in the area). Likewise the lighting is pretty and dramatic but limited in several areas where there are steps and the accessible parking isn't too identifiable at night (to the left of the entrance). Just be careful. For hearing impaired folks, it was a bit loud at 7:30 for conversations but by 8:20 it was noticeably quieter if hearing aids were needed to discern tabletop discussions. I added myself to a yelp waitlist but this wasn't mentioned. But the wait wasn't too bad. There was a family of 8 ahead of me that seemed to throw the hostess for a serious loop. She put together a table which they immediately rejected, asked for another that containing a reserved placard then a third. In between she came back to the stand and looked at me inquisitively - so I asked for a table for one- but then she said it would be a minute. I got the "table for one" treatment- offer for a less comfortable high top in what the bar area- and then I thought we were headed to that 2 top by the bathroom every restaurant dooms single diners with, but was pleasantly surprised to be offered a 4 top. The menu reflected what was on their website- always a good sign. But the waitress was not able to handle the volume. I waited 10 minutes before even being greeted. When she did come by to say she'd be right with me, I could hear a nearby table asking for a pen to pay a check after a wait and another table she had served beverages seemed to be a little irked they hadn't gotten a ticket yet so I figured it best to adjust my ordering accordingly. The fried green tomatoes were a perfect temperature- this can often be a challenge to have them still hot but not scald your tongue prior to the rest of a meal. I think thinner slices help achieve this. Coated in cornmeal not flour mixture made it a challenge to stay on, but the homemade ranch is perfect and makes up for any pieces you fish out. The tuna tataki is approachable- wise choice for an area that is less likely to have a palette looking for wild combinations. I'd feel comfortable introducing someone to tuna with this dish. The concept of tortilla chip with seared tuna (possibly ahi) with crispy fried onion strings and grilled bell peppers and a bit of ponzu sauce is great but swimming in ponzu, the tortilla chips were not strong enough to hold the tuna and their being heavily pre salted really made the whole dish way too salty. I'd love to see this reconfigured with unsalted tortillas cut in half and fried, just a drizzle of the ponzu sauce, and keep the onions and peppers. the grilled peppers adding that smokey flavor really could shine then. And to be clear that was the stand out detail- would love to see more of that combo. For the entree I went with a grilled salmon since I've had two NY strips in Chicago this week. The salmon was definitely fishy so not as fresh, but the jalapeño compound butter really helped cover this so I'd recommend opting for that over an herb butter. The grilled asparagus is a little oily but grateful for a vegetable that wasn't frozen and heated. The Parmesan on top adds a good bit of flavor but again watch out for salt blindness. I would normally say how can you mess up a loaded baked potato but actually I had a terrible twice baked one at a stupid expensive steakhouse this week. They did not scrimp on the toppings- every bite could come with a bit of cheese, sour cream, chives, and real crumbled bacon. Frankly this was the type of potato you think of when you think of home. Solid. Now the tea. This was what I was most curious about given the city of Trinidad has notoriously bad (safety has even been questioned) water. The restaurant has invested in a filtration system and promoted it online. To be honest one of the main reasons I was convinced to try the place. There is a lingering taste that it's been processed but nothing I would reject and the peace of mind frankly would keep me coming back. Now my tea glass could have been refilled more often (ran empty twice), but in this instance, that's a testament to water being drinkable. For service I would say they were a little overwhelmed as tables nearby were left unbussed, but the food was never cold and was served very timely so they have that down. I also want to acknowledge the guy at the table next to me was blowing his nose loudly and incessantly using the restaurant napkin so my heart truly goes out to that staff having to deal with that. Honestly kind of want to keep this one a secret.
