I sat outside and enjoyed my meal with a view across from the water. I had just finished a long hike and was excited for some replenishment. This place did not disappoint. I had their pumpkin ravioli special to start and then had a bowl of mussel marinara. The waitress was friendly and kind, along with the other staff that bussed for her. read more

Nice owners, cute spot for a date (ask for table 14 or 16 to see the water on a date!) and overall just friendly atmosphere. Food was always decent when I went. Would maybe go back. read more

Everything was amazing here and the view upstairs was beautiful! Started with the crab cake which was excellent. Full of crab with a great mango salsa. The passiontfruit martini was great. Got a Cajun rockfish special for my entree which i absolutely loved. My wife got the sole francese which was also stellar. The cannoli for dessert is can't miss. It was seriously incredible. Definitely will be back! read more

Harbor Mist - Rockfish special - Seafood Near Me - Cold Spring Harbor, New York

If you're into tasty seafood, Harbor Mist is a nice little gem that's close to the water and offers up a solid menu! We went for Sunday brunch and were treated to wonderful two course prix fixe menu that came with unlimited mimosas, sangrias (red & white), and bloody Mary's for $35pp. You can order a la carte as well, but depending on what you order, an app and an entree might run you close to or even above the $35, so it definitely pays to get the prix fixe in that case. I ordered the tuna tacos and the crab meat duet, and both were fantastic! Portion size was just right and both dishes were colorful and tastefully presented. Harbor Mist is a great little restaurant that's off the beaten path - we'll definitely be back! read more

Great food!!!! I've been to this place a handful of time and order different dishes and all have been amazing. The service is friendly and cozy great sunsets on the lake. Crab cakes and clam chowder are the go to. read more

I'll admit, I went there four or five years ago, in the summer. I love Cold Spring Harbor! It really is a quaint village--even with 25 A running through it! LOL In an ideal world, I'd live next door in Laurel Hollow, and drive over to Cold Spring monthly to go to Harbor, and Grasso's for dinners. Harbor's right on 25A, but they had valet parking, and a wonderful upstairs, overlooking the Cold Spring Harbor. I had a delightful solo meal here, the memory of which "afterglows". Try it (please)., read more

Celebrated a 75th Birthday last night and we couldn't have been happier! Let's start with the view... we sat upstairs and it's beautiful to look out onto the harbor. The wait staff is so attentive and our dinner was excellent! We started with appetizers; eggplant rollatini was delicious, so was the mussels in white sauce ( and so plentiful!!)! The sole francese and the linguini with white clam sauce exceptional! I love the bread service, the most delicious offerings.. those pita chips and hummus.. over the top! A delightful tequila cocktail and before we knew it it was time for dessert! Thank you for the lovely Happy Birthday song and candle. The other tables clapped! Such a lovely group of people! Can't wait to return! read more

This is a very cute waterfront restaurant in a great location with an outstanding view! Visited for lunch on a Monday, very quiet but we still received top notch service and food presentation and quality was terrific! Started with New England Clam which was brothy creamy and delicious. I ordered tuna tacos which was 4 and they were zesty and spicy not hot! My wife ordered traditional Fish and Chips which was an enormous portion of cod, I believe, fries, cole slaw and tartar which would have been plenty for 2! What this place lacks in professional service it more than makes up for in friendly attentiveness. Our server Javier was in complete control of the dining room! Definitely worth a trip! read more

Easter Sunday Dinner 2024 - Exquisite The rack of lamb was seasoned & cooked to perfection...tender, moist, cut like butter. Thank you! We were given all the time in the world to enjoy dinner...as though it were not a busy holiday. Wait service was exceptional. The entire experience was enjoyed by family who were visiting from out-of-state. The ambiance was a cozy, busy, and boasted water views. Plus, we had a visit from the Easter Bunny! Hippity-hop on over. read more

We came here after a walk at Caumsett Park and we were very impressed! We only ordered appetizers, thai calamari and the baked clams with a Blue Moon and IPA. The food was fantastic! It came with toasted bread and hummus which was delicious! The staff was very courteous, asked specifically what time we would be there so the food wouldn't get cold. We enjoyed everything at a picnic table by the water which was right across the street! Can't wait to go back again this summer and try some of their entrees! read more

Harbor Mist on a Tuesday - 50% off all food items (18% tip is applied at the full price). Let's start with the great views of the bay, boats, harbor, and sunset. We were seated by the window on the 2nd floor, and the views are wonderful. Our waitress was efficient, kind, and delightful. Her recommendations were spot on. Orders: Blue point oysters - fabulous. Must order when ever visiting this restaurant again. Chicken piccata and mushroom risotto - chicken was slightly dry but risotto was delicious. My workmates seemed to enjoy the flounder and scallop dishes. Rum cake for dessert - Good, but I'm not much of a dessert guy. Waiters kept our drinks re-filled. One of my pet peeves is going thirsty during my meal. read more

The 4 stars are based on what I ordered, which was a veggie burger. The bread wasn't fresh tasting but the aioli sauce on it was great. Their fries were so yummy and the hummus they brought out was also. The service was very good and presentation nice. Because of Covid we ate outside and they have their tables spaced out which is nice. My friends liked their food also. Not sure I'd return but it's worth a try. read more

Food is definitely a 5 I can't take any demerits from there. Lose a star because of no changing table in the men's room. I don't think that's fair. If I wanted to change my son I couldn't do it. Besides that the food was excellent. Crab cake was delicious and the mango accent was brilliant. Main I had the veal chop parm special and it was out of this world. Quite possibly one of the best veal chops I've had in my life. Dessert I had the espresso creme brûlée absolutely legendary. Definitely want to come back. Staff was brilliant and place was clean and elegant. read more

The food was delicious. I had a chicken Parmesan and the portion was huge. Prices are reasonable although they will charge extra 2% on credit cards. read more

Came for grandma's bday last month. We were seated immediately which was great. And greeted by the bartender - who was so sweet. The drinks were meh. Paloma was basically a watered down lemon water. The mussels were dirty and not fresh at all. The clam chowder, however, some of the best I've ever had. Just incredibly good. Ordered the stuffed lobster. Quite possibly the worst dish I have ever allowed on my plate. The "shrimp and crab stuffing" was grocery store shrimp salad. Incredibly disgusting. The lobster itself was decent - but they only gave us claws and two bites of a tail. A disappointment all around for this dish. And not worth the $75. Service was lovely. But the food is trash. Enjoy the view but steer clear of the food/drinks. read more

If I can give it more stars I would. I can't tell you how many years I have been coming here and how many years I have my Halloween Party and Christmas Party. They just never make a mistake. They always work with me and my ideas of changing everything that is on their catering menu, and I am not talking huge parties I am talking 20 people but I am still always treated like I am giving a huge affair and its important to them to hear what I have to say. I 'm glad it seems like they have the parking lot back open ( they had a tent there since Covid) because it can get a little dangerous at night to have to walk along 25A but it would never stop me from going it is by far my favorite place on long Island. Sometimes meet friends at the beautiful bar over looking the water for some bar food and drinks, or meet friends for dinner in the restaurant , either way its always great. read more

The decor and ambience is very nice and classy without being overdone. I though the place would be a bit more casual and have a more expansive menu. I felt that the menu was a bit restricted. The steamed mussels in white sauce was fabulous, the mussels were extremely fresh and juicy. They also bring out hummus and bread, the hummus is flavorful and authentic but the bread is a strange pairing. I got the cajun blackened chicken burger, it wasn't anything special and the spices were more middle eastern than cajun. My dad got a burger and it was also average. read more

I haven't been here since Covid and just came here with a group of four, we spent $400 with lobster & drinks. I paid the bill, I came home and by chance I checked the bill and there was a credit card surcharge of $10 on it. In researching it there is nowhere on the website or the menu that says that there is a credit card surcharge. The waitress never mentioned this surcharge to us and how do they know that we are not paying by cash when they give us the check. What is going to happen next are they going to surcharge us for electricity? Credit cards are part of doing business and should be figured out in their overall cost. Credit card fees have not gone up since Covid so why are they all of a sudden charging us a surcharge? This whole nickel and dimed by the owner has put a bad taste in my mouth and we will not be coming back. read more

Great food with great atmosphere . Amazing view from upstairs dining room of the harbor. Flat bread and hummus are served as you are seated. The fish is always fresh . Great seasoning on everything they make. Vegetables are cooked correctly, not mushy or slimy. The burger and steak fries on the lunch menu is excellent. Portions are more than adequate so I alway leave with take home food. They also run special pricing deals from time to time (30% off) so ask server or check web site. This place is a great value and the staff is excellent. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for some time as it seems like a cute place in Cold Spring Harbor. The view was a let down, for in the parking lot cars and bushes obscure the water view. The salad was average and the lobster roll was the worst I've ever eaten on LI. It was the worst part of the lobster, in tiny bits and no chucks, and seasoned with Cajun type seasoning. It was disgusting. This place is old hype and I get better food at Crabby Amy's Go elsewhere . read more

We chose this restaurant based on a recommendation. It was a bit of a drive from our hotel, probably a half an hour. Seems to be located in a very nice area across from the water. We were super hungry because we had a late lunch so we didn't order any appetizers. I had the filet mignon with fingerling potatoes and grilled broccoli and my partner had seared tuna. Both of our entrées were excellent. I ordered my filet mignon, medium rare and that's the way it came. It was perfect and tasted excellent. My partners tuna came out, just like he likes it, just seared and very rare. We would come back again if we were in the area. read more

We came for my husband's bday- a large group of us. They offered inside and outdoor seating Options. We sat upstairs with beautiful views of the water. When you first sit, they bring fresh hummus with bread and little bruschetta as (!!!! The best!!). We started with salads- very fresh and nicely sized, as well as the caprese. For entree we sampled the zucchini pasta, clam pasta, Caesar with salmon and more. Everyone was very very happy with their meal; salmon was very fresh, clamp pasta with white wine had great flavor. Overall delightful dining experience with beautiful views, great waitstaff.... great option! read more

Outstanding seafood restaurant. Christmas Eve, first visit to this restaurant, party of 5. Appetizers were excellent, and were followed by entries of stuffed salmon, Thai calamari, salmon and orzo with mixed seafood in a fennel broth. Then desserts of tiramasu, rum cake, eggnog cheesecake in bourbon sauce, and vanila ice cream. Everything was excellent, and every special request handled flawlessly. The service was polite, friendly and prompt. The ambiance was great, with beautiful Christmas trees to set the mood for the season. A great meal and a great dining experience. read more

Good for dating, weekend friends brunch and families gatherings. We had lobster Benedict, Thai calamari and steak. Lobster Benedict and steak are good but Thai calamari is not crispy, a bit disappointed. 4 stars for atmosphere and environment. 4 stars for food. Light, healthy and fresh. Nice presentation. Particular like their nutty orange sliced bread as free appetizer. Nice caring owner. 4/24/16. My family went back for the second time. We also brought a family friends of three. We all liked everything we ordered: Thai calamari, mussels, tuna salads, masala chicken, almond tilapia, bacon burger, steak and clam pasta. The only thing I felt not as good as last time was the nutty bread which was a big plus first time we came here. This time felt not fresh and so dry. A bit disappointed in their cranberry range bread. But the mini sponge cake came along were great. My 3 yrs ate 4 of them! We will definitely go back there for family brunch as well as friends gathering. Good service too. read more

Very positive experience - view of the bay, outstanding food, nice atmosphere, attentive service. We called late afternoon on a Saturday (during Covid) for a party of 7 hoping to celebrate a milestone birthday in the family. They were very accommodating. Tables were spread apart. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere - casual but classy with a nice view of the bay. The service was great and staff was very friendly. The food was the best part. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The menu is simple and does not have a ton of choices but everyone looked great and it was hard to choose. I had the seared tuna which came with a mango salsa and fresh veggies. It was cooked perfectly. The kids had Chicken Francaise and raved about it (both are very picky kids so that is a big compliment). I also sampled the flounder francaise (also cooked perfectly) and the pasta Bolognese. We are looking forward to coming back another time. read more

Harbor Mist - Seared Seared Sesame Crusted Yellow Fin Tuna - Seafood Near Me - Cold Spring Harbor, New York

I ate there for Thanksgiving dinner. The food is so so there, not very good. It's over price. Very small portion of food. Incorrect menu descriptions, I ordered stuffed fillet of sole, it's said crabmeat, shrimp & scallops, but I don't think they included any of those ingredients at all. Also, I made an reservation through open table, it is said standard seat on 2nd floor, but I ended up sitting on the 1st floor near entrance in the aisles, every time when the front door was open, I felt so cold by setting there. Very crowded dining environment, very uncomfortable. When they were serving dishes for the table behind me, I noticed that turkey dishes were just above my head. Bad service, waiters never refill your water when it was empty, unless you asked for it. They rushed people, so that they could sell more Thanksgiving dinners. Hate the experience dining there. The Worst dining experience in my life. read more

Lovely spot overlooking the water. We came after hiking and had the baked clams oreganata which were fresh and delicious. Other dishes coming out looked gorgeous. Drinks were well made and COVID safety measures were good. Prices reflect the location, but I'd definitely come back! It seems like there's lots of indoor space for celebrating a special occasion. read more

If you like a great view of the Harbor and fresh seafood and great service this is super place to come - Not as casual as most Long Island places - white table cloths, sharp waiters, but not stuffy at all. My friend Mike ordered their 2lb lobster special and said it was good.. he absolutely loved - LOVED their chocolate mousse. Said it was really great. Get the chocolate mousse. I was impressed with the fresh table breads and tappenade snack they bring while you are waiting.. Friendly, and good food. View is super if you can get to the window. For people familiar with the area this is the old Harbor 105 which has been sold a few years ago... it was orignally replaced with managment who changed the menu for the worst.. the one in the middle dragged it down with wraps ala cart it was cr**. Then the new Harbor Mist people came in and brought this great location back up to what people have always went there for. Great seafood, appetizers, drinks, filets and extras brought with dinner.. like salad, dessert, table snacks etc.. This is more like the old place - It is back in good hands ... go back if you fled for a few years... read more

We enjoyed brunch here. Sat upstairs overlooking the harbor in a cozy corner table. The lychee martini was delicious. Service very attentive. The food was tasty. My husband had the blueberry waffles which were good but the maple syrup was not real and definitely took away from the meal. My burger was good. Would try it again read more

In theory this place would've been nice. However, the food wasn't as impressive as I expected it to be. We ordered the lobster & steak and the salmon dish. The salmon was very tender and cooked well. However, the lobster tail was difficult to chew and the steak was not medium rare or as tender as I would've liked it to be. It was too overcooked from what we ordered. The clam chowder was delicious though. Exactly as I imagined/hoped it to be. Creamy & flavorful, perfect for a cold winter night. The staff were friendly & the atmosphere was nice but as for the food, I was not impressed. read more

With a COVID outbreak in the family scuttling our Thanksgiving plans, Hubby and I decided to go out. We looked for places serving traditional thanksgiving Meals and came across this place. I made a reservation for 7pm in a private Igloo, but when we arrived they offered a table inside, so we opted to dine in. So glad we did as the ambiance was warm and holiday-ish. One look at the price fix menu and we were salivating!! Such great choices! For starters we had a salad and pumpkin ravioli. Generous portions- we happily shared. And despite the variety of choices for main courses, and my hang up about not ordering the same meal so I can taste different dishes- we both went with the Pilgrims Thanksgiving meal. Turkey with all the fixings and then some!! This meal did not disappoint and was the tastiest meal ever!! I held back from finishing everything on my plate so that I'd have room for dessert! So unlike me!! But there was so much- I just couldn't! Neither of us could! Then came the molten chocolate cake and pecan pie for dessert. So delicious. We picked this place quite randomly and had no clue what the menu would offer and not were we glad we did. The service was outstanding, every single staff member that we encountered was friendly and warm. We can't wait to go back another time! read more
