    Another one of my favorite places to go to when I am in Winter Haven! The most recent time I went I tried the lobster roll and it was incredible! I wanted another one it was so good but I knew I wouldn't get through it. The wait staff is always incredibly friendly and does a great job of checking in with you. They have 2 different areas where you can sit outside by the lake and it's wonderful. Looking forward to my next visit back here!

    The restaurant was busy so service was a bit slow but the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful., We sat by a large glass window overlooking the lake. It was our Florida Christmas with our grandson and it couldn't have gone better.

    Magnificent view off the pier.

    Only perk to this restaurant was the view at sunset. The hostess was rude, the food was mediocre and the ambience reminded me of an old folk's home.

    Fake flowers just looked cheap. But that view!!!!

    We tried this restaurant because the views and the menu looked amazing. Immediately we were disappointed when our waitress came over, took our drink order, and turned around and left. No introduction. No specials listed. She brought water and our drinks in a timely manner. We ordered. She brought out some stale bread and tasteless butter. Well, this was not a good start.... I ordered white fish and shrimp. The shrimp were so overcooked. The whitefish wasn't bad. Onion rings were good. Presentation was lacking for what seemed like a nice restaurant. My husband had the filet and loved it, as well as the chipotle pineapple margarita! The manager was present checking on tables. The Overall, I wouldn't come back. Service was lacking and unfriendly, food sub par. I'm sure at one time this place was amazing!

    Took my family of four to Harborside and had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious--we tried the gator bites, calamari, and pasta, and everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The views are absolutely stunning and really added to the overall experience. Our server, Somer, was great! Great food, great atmosphere--we'll definitely be back!

    Lovely outdoor view of a lake. The clam chowder was OK, I've had better. Unfortunately while my steak was cooked beautifully to perfection at medium rare, it was unfortunately doused with waaay too much salt. The fish sandwich was good and plentiful. Service was excellent.

    We were here celebrating my son's birthday with a party of eight. When we first sat down, we were not given menus so eventually, I just went to the hostess stand and got them myself. Our server was attentive, but it seemed to take a while to get our drinks. My sangria was probably the best sangria I've ever had. It was just light, fruity and just hit right. My mahi tacos were flavorful. Several of our party had steaks which were cooked just right. The big catch fish sandwich was delicious as well as the grouper sandwich. The french fries were exceptionally crispy and tasty. When we first got there, it was a little difficult to hear each other because the acoustics are not good. But as people left the restaurant, it was better. The views at Harborside are breathtaking. The food is good. The service was just kind of haphazard, but Santa was there.

    Great location, views and staff. Food was flavorful and came out quickly, well priced with great drinks. Lauren was our waitress and she was attentive, personable and friendly. Would absolutely go back again.

    The girls and I were brunching by boat, the food was good and we ate at the bar on the water which is always a great view. Our bartender was very attentive and provided great service.

    Are there any vegan options offered?

    I am lactose intolerant so always look for vegan choices as they are safe for me to eat and I don't recall seeing any.

    Is the restaurant pet Friendly?

    They are, but I am not sure if they are right now, you might need to call to see if they are allowing animals right now. They have limited seating inside and out due to government restrictions.

    What is Harborside Reatautan phone number?

    863 293 7070 open until 10pm.

    "PORTERHOUSE FAMIKY FOOD ADVENTURE!!!…read more Went to get some good steaks after walking all night on Halloween. It was so much fun!!! All the staff were dressed up and there were many Families that were there as well. All they needed was some candy for the kids and it could have been an extra treat for them. Maybe at the end of dinner just a few small candies, 1 for each, would have been a good look from Manny's. But that's just a thought I wanted to share. We still had a great time!!! Fiona from Shrek was our Server. Fiona was sat with 3 tables in a row as we were all next to each other. She did awesome was very attentive and engaging. Responded quickly when asked for things life refills on drinks or anything else. The Ambiance is always fin seeing how many new signs you can find when sat in different areas of the dining room. My youngest ordered her first porter house and listened when I said put the potato to the side and bring it home. EAT THE MEAT!!! She did and finished it what a champ, she loved it and now wants to get it every time, but she was quickly informed. ONKY ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS!!! It is not cheap at $39.98 each and hit or miss whether you get a good cut or just an ok cut. Her filet side was pretty thin. My porterhouse was a good cut nice and thick!!! They were ordered to be cooked to medium and they almost got it right on mine it was still a bit mid rare, near the bone, as normal, was on the rarer side, but it was JUICY!!! My daughters was cooked perfectly with the mid rare near the bone, but as stated hers was a bit thinner. The wife got the special 10oz sirloin and 4 shrimp (grilled, fried, stuffed) she got the stuffed. The steak was ordered med well and it was again almost cooked perfectly. It was med well on the edges but the middle was def medium close to med rare. Just a couple more minutes on the sirloin and my porterhouse they would have been perfect. The stuffed shrimp on the other hand was not good. Definitely undercooked stuffing. It had a good flavor, but after we both tried one we took the stuffing off of the other two and wifey just ate the shrimp. I'm not sure if they forgot to put it in the salamander or don't have one, but that stuffing needs some heat on top for browning purposes. This is why the 4 star review on this visit!!! We had a great time and don't forget those yummy warm cinnamon butter biscuits...SO YUMMY!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

    Our server, George, was simply amazing! I would give it 5 stars just for him. He kept our drinks…read morefilled, prepared our salads table side, and had a great attitude. I ordered the Filet Mignon and a sweet potato with a Caesar salad. It was delicious. I do wish they offered Bernaise sauce.

My brother Bill ordered the Lobster and Filet Mignon with corn and sweet potato with cinnamon butter and a house salad. He thought his food was very nice.

    This restaurant is by far overrated. The ambiance is very dark when you go in with piano music…read moreplaying. The host were rude and didn't have a warm welcome upon arrival. We were seated in the back room for a birthday dinner celebration. The room was extremely dark and we couldn't turn on the other lights because it was connected to the most dustiest ceiling fans that had at least 1/4 of an inch thick of dust. The woman who was coming in and out of the room to pour water in the water glasses had an attitude like she didn't want to be there. I asked her a question about the menu and she very dryly told me "you can't order that unless you are on the other side" then walked away. That's when I was inquiring about the bistro menu. At that point I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat anything there due to their lack of plant based items or even easily adjustable items so I just ate the bruschetta. However when we placed the order for the bruschetta it never came out. So once we asked about it, it was then comped and brought out. Our waiter was very irritated and annoyed it seemed with the large party he had to tend to but his assistant which was a younger more personable guy was way more pleasant to be around. The cost point for the food was beyond the taste and size of the portions. When I asked about kid options, the waiter told me he could have the chef make a kids steak or chicken tenders and fries. It was my mistake for not asking for the price since I assumed it was a kids portion. Granted the tiniest steak did come out I still had to pay over $24 which I would have purchased the regular adult size if that was the case. So some clarity on the menu options for the kids would have been greatly appreciated. I can go on and on about this place but ultimately I would recommend not to go here unless you don't care about customer service or price points. Upon leaving the family event, and getting home I then realized my debit card was never returned to me by our gracious waiter. So once we returned to retrieve the card another day we were greeted with the rudest and most annoyed individuals at the host station. Needless to say we will never ever return.

    Legoland Shipwreck Restaurant - Plant based dinner platter

    I definitely have to update my review from a few years ago as I returned here a couple of times…read morerecently and had a great experience. This place is absolute paradise for my Lego loving child. It's pirate themed and has epic Lego creations. My son loves the area where kids can play with Legos and it's nice for the parents too as it gives them a break. The food is served family style and you get a lot of bang for your buck as you can reorder as many things as you'd like. We chose the Pirate Platter which includes: a delicious salad with apples and pecan and honey bread upfront, then a platter of assorted meats such as brisket, steak, sausage, chicken, and ribs. The brisket is our favorite. It comes with green beans, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. I really wanted to try some of the vegan platter so they brought that out for me at no extra charge. For dessert, we got a pan cookie with ice cream as well as the vegan chocolate fondue with fruits and marsh mallows. All of this unlimited for only $39 per adult and $19 per child with drinks included. Delicious and such a fun dinner experience! Since I stayed at the hotel, I also came here for breakfast as it is included in the stay. Breakfast is the same across all three Legoland hotels. It's also served family style and includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, French toast or pancakes. You can add fruits, yoghurts, cereal, oatmeal at no up charge. And it also includes drinks such as coffee, milks, juices, etc. The staff was very accommodating about letting me take things to go and ordering extra stuff.

    Ok so we came here for convenience after the park…read more We walked in and saw its $40 per person for an adult. I was like oof. But we sat down and met our waitress Michelle. She is very nice. Older lady, you can tell she's been around as a waitress for a while. Kind of reminds me of like the old diner waitresses "What are you having" lol. Anyway, she was awesome. She let us pick off both options. We ordered the pirate one which is BBQ choices and we got some of the sea dog options for the seafood side. So sweet. We first got our bread. It was good. Tasted like a yeast bread. Came oiled and with sweet butter. It also came with a salad as well for the table which had cheese, tomatoes onion and greens. The salad dressing was light and sweet. The main food came. It came with ribs, flank steak, pulled pork, brisket, beans, string beans, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sausage, and shrimp. 3 sauces came with it, regular bbq, mango bbq and mustard. The mango bbq had real mango in it. Now, preface by saying I understand this isn't a 5 star Michelin chef meal and I wasn't expecting much. However, this was actually very good. The steak was very good. Not dry. The brisket was good. The ribs were good not dry. The pulled pork was dry. The salmon was good, The shrimp was good, Sausage was good, the string beans were ok, the macaroni was very heavy but good and the mashed potatoes were good. Overall I was very impressed. Then for dessert came our chocolate chip covered ice cream with heath bar bits. So very fattening.

    What a find! A must visit if you're here for Legoland…read more Atmosphere/Ambience: Old diner throw back meets family restaurant with darker colors. Lots of booths. Noisy background with large dining spaces but not too loud. Good for families with kids when you know it won't disrupt others. Happening place! Service: Very accommodating and super attentive. Flexible with needs. Water always full. Order ad-ons went in quick. When half of the food took a bit, manager came out with some free food even though we didn't complain! Easy to get a reservation here same day for a weekend during prime time for a large party with kids. Food: Really delicious and tons of options. We loved the holiday cocktails, kids menu, adult menu, and desserts. Everything was a banger. Standouts included the BBQ plate, shrimp, salads, and fries. Yes, the fries. Perfect crispy inside and pillowing inside. Simple dishes on the surface, but very well executed and flavorful. We wanted to order more even though we were stuffed. Very large portions. Drinks: Agree the butterfly drink is a standout. Holiday cocktails including Coquita was nice. Good selection of a craft beer. No complaints and very intriguing. Price: Incredible deal! Usually pay twice this or more in larger cities and for the quality? Amazing. We will be back!

    4/5 overall. The Gillian's Farm Pear and Goat Cheese Salad was incredible, definitely the highlight…read moreand I'll be back for it. Service was attentive, and we appreciated cooling off in the AC after a morning festival. The only hiccup was the appetizer arriving with the meal, which made things feel a bit rushed. The chips were also just okay this time, and the ketchup tasted sweeter than usual. Still a great experience overall!
