You pick your own table. We sat at one without an umbrella for a few minutes until a party left. We moved to that table until we were told to move back so a party that came in well after us wanted the umbrella. Later when we were almost done eating the host offered us another table. Oh well.... There are better places to eat.

I never mentioned that our waitress was also as good the food, I believe her name was Tanner she was so helpful, sweet and had a great mannerism too , I also made it a point to tell her coworkers to tell their manager of how great our waitress was, it's hard nowadays to find someone who goes above and beyond doing her job, 5 stars for your work .. Thanks Again Cooks we love coming back to this area. Certainly worth the visit.. you'll all thank me later, Noel

There is a handicap accessible ramp in case stairs are a problem. I went to lunch with my 82 year old mother who has mobility challenges. She preferred to walk up the 3 steps than the long ramp. Inside the restaurant there is a step as well between the multiple rooms. The food is excellent. We had the beef skewers appetizer, the mussels appetizer, and a fantastic salad. We shared it all, and there was plenty! We also tried to blueberry muffin which a friend told us they are known for. The muffin was good, fresh, but there was not something special about it...it was a good blueberry muffin. The service was friendly and efficient. The portion sizes are good. The price is fair, especially for such a gorgeous setting!

Great seafood, super friendly staff, beautiful waterfront views, a relaxed atmosphere, and they're dog friendly, which made it even better for us. They even had a band Sunday night. Harborside Grill has definitely become one of our favorite stops when we're in the area. When you eat somewhere three times in one weekend, you know they're doing something right! We'll absolutely be back.
