I wanted to go somewhere special for my first anniversary with my wife and we settled on Harbour Grill because I wanted to get a nice quality steak and a lovely ambiance. To be honest, 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. I mentioned in my RSVP initially that it was our anniversary. The table was already set and had a congratulations note waiting for us, and the server also congratulated us upon arrival - we were really appreciative of the care and attention we got. Now on to the food. It was nothing short of amazing. The server recommended a fantastic wine, and it delivered. We started with duck spring rolls and crispy tuna bites which were both extremely tasty without overpowering or filling us up too much before the main course. The main reason we went here was for steak, and man did we pick the right place. Never in my life did I have a wagyu steak and we were fortunate enough that there were only 2 portions left for order by the time we got there. We both ordered the wagyu (medium-rare for me, medium for her) and they were exceptional! It was perfectly cooked to order (though my wife wished she ordered it med-rare like me) and full of rich flavor. The portion size was perfect too, it came with a side but I didn't even finish my fries because I was so focused on the steak. For dessert we ordered the warm cookie, which was highly recommended and definitely the right call. We were pretty full by the time dessert came, but we couldn't resist. Essentially it's a warm cookie-cake cooked in a small cast-iron skillet, topped with ice cream, strawberries, and chunks of brownie and peanuts. It was freshly warm (hot even), gooey, and a perfect mix of flavors. We were incredibly satisfied, and even though we had a fairly large meal, we didn't feel like we overate or had any "grossly full" feelings. The staff was friendly, helpful, and appeared to really be taking care of their patrons. If I could, I'd give this place 6 stars! read more

my husband and I took my son and new daughter-in-law out for a celebratory dinner and we're delighted with everything; the waitress, Ruth, was extremely attentive. once we placed our order, we were able to relax in this upscale atmosphere, and every course came out in a timely fashion. The brisket, tacoappetizers, salad, reserve cut steaks we're outstanding. Without asking, Ruth made sure to bring out the lava cake with a sparkler Which punctuated the joy of celebrating the newly weds We look forward to returning soon to our favorite steak restaurant on Harding. definitely a venue I'm proud to take anyone whether or not they keep kosher. read more

Great location, very nice ambiance and incredible food. We ordered a lot of app's which were all great, the burger was split in 4 so we all had a bite and wow this was the best thing! Juicy, tender and delicious. Finally our steak came out and it was cooked perfectly and such a good cut of beef. Compliments to the chef, we'll definitely be back. read more

Terrific service very attentive and we had a wonderful dinner. We Thank Ruth very much for her help in ordering

Beautiful restaurant the place was recently done over excellent service and the food was great

I was so happy to find a place where I can get Montreal smoked meat ships to Los Angeles. We ordered 4 six ounces . It was accompanied with 4 little packs of ice that wasn't enough for the trip it came out warm. So we made 2 sandwiches that was so dry and so spicy . We weren't able to finish it , for $ 111.96 come on now. Usually I have friends or family bringing to me from Lester Deli at Dorval after going through the security. read more

This place is pretty awful. Do NOT order the tacos. They reuse meat that has been cleared away from other customers tables, and they put it in the tacos. read more

I made a reservation for The Harbour Grill and, for the first time in my life, they asked for a credit card to hold the reservation. I guess this should have been a sign of things to come. When we arrived, the hostess took us to a table that I thought was perfect for us (out of the way). We were 4 generations of 6 people, from an 18 month old to a 96 year old. We ordered in stages; the soup special, charcuterie board and then our main courses. The Birria Tacos, the Harbour Grill Filet, the Rib-eye, Braised Short Ribs, Truffle Caesar Salad, Sweet Potato Fries and Cornbread. From the start, the kitchen must have been off because the food started coming out piecemeal. First was the soup, Carrot and Ginger with Coconut Milk and Croutons and then the charcuterie board. I asked what was on it. I was very surprised that I had to ask. I even had to ask what the soup special was. They both were wonderful. Then we got the Truffle Caesar Salad. That was great also. The Birria Taco was next. Another good choice. And then the long wait, so we asked for bread. Finally, we received the Rib-eye and the Harbour Grill Filet. As with proper manners, you are supposed to wait until everyone is served. Well, my 96 year old mother NEVER received her meal. Eventually, the waiter apologized for the tardiness of the Braised Short Ribs, something about a mixup of the tickets in the kitchen, so they need to cook another one. We were done eating our entrees when they finally brought out the cornbread, and were still waiting for the Short Ribs! It had been nearly an hour! Finally, we had enough and I asked to see the manager. The manager repeated what our server had already told us - there was some kind of mixup in the kitchen and we could either take the steak home and be charged for it or we could leave it and they would take it off of the bill. The waiter offered to bring fries and bread for my mother since she never received her meal, but she didn't receive that nor did she receive anything to compensate for the error. After a little bit of pushing, we were offered a dessert on the house, which doesn't make up for my mother not having any dinner, but the most bitter tasting part of the meal was manager's attitude. That is what happens when gratuity is included! Why should the waiter care? We chose to forfeit the Braised Short Ribs. If their story is true, they threw away two short rib meals instead of offering it to us as a jester of goodwill. As good as the food may be, their short sided attitude is enough for me to say "never again." read more

We always go there the atmosphere is nice the waiters are chill and the food tastes good, except the taco appetizer I would revisit that one. The main room is nice, less fun to sit in the side room seems less restaurant feel. Would go back for nitro chicken anyday read more

The Harbour Grill - Nitro Chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

As someone who has worked with restauranteurs for over 20 years, I would not in any way recommend this restaurant. service - my guest and I had a 7:30 reservation outside. We did not see a waiter until 7:45. Our appetizers came out soon enough around 8:00. We then waited an additional 40 minutes where no one came to the table. We advised the staff and the manager that we were still waiting for our meal and we're told it would take 7 more minutes but they would "rush it" - for 2 medium rare steaks. our food came out - one was burnt and the other undercooked, so we sent back for some more fire. the waiter seemed to grasp that this was unacceptable. Unfortunately the manager gave us lackadaisical stock answers and pointless gestures of a glass of wine or some other side dish. And the reason for the huge delay? The number of tables ordering at the same time - yet they control the reservations, so you would think they would not seat more people than they could handle. in sum, the service is awful and the manager seems to not care less. Food - appetizers were actually quite good, though the portions small. The steaks were tasteless. It was chewy rubber. the French fries tasted store-bought and the mashed potatoes were somewhat sour in NO way was this worth the $233.00 we were required to spend - they took nothing off the bill and has the audacity to include the 18% service charge. I will never eat here again nor would I recommend this place to anyone on a professional or personal basis. read more

Service was great, Food was phenomenal and Ricardo made incredible drinks. Highly recommend.

I've had some bad meals in my life and I've had some bad service in my life but the ick feelings of leaving this vile restaurant made my entire party very uncomfortable. My experience here was memorable as one of the worst, magnified by the argumentative and unprofessional manager, Angela. We ordered wine, salads, a few steaks, chicken and fish between four of us. The caesar salad was edible, especially if you enjoy salads that look and taste like they came out of a bag. The bronzino, dry as cardboard. The big loser of the food the "King Reserve" steak described by the waiter as the "top cut from the ribeye," looked and felt much more like a sinewy cut of cheap top round or some other muscular and tough meat. Asked to have the steak prepared medium rare, the steak was delivered closer to medium well, which made the vile piece of meat even worse. Even worse, the waiter never showed up (in what is a relatively small restaurant, where we were one of approximately 6 seated tables) to ask why the steak hadn't been touched. Eventually my dinner companions asked why I hadn't eaten, after everyone had finished their mediocre entrees. They tasted the terrible steak and agreed. After everyone was finished with their entrees the manager, Angela, awkwardly said she saw the steak returned by a runner/bus boy and told us that we needed to order something else. The entire table was finished with their entrees so we all declined. Was this enough for Angela? No, she stood at the table and continued barking options at us, that we must replace the steak with, making our already mediocre experience highly uncomfortable. It was truly one of the most awkward interactions I can say I've ever had in a restaurant. Before posting this I looked at some of the other reviews, both good and bad. It's a real shame that the owner of this restaurant trains his staff to act the ways we have experienced. It seems in the kosher restaurant world, patrons have to accept less than decent service with often times borderline inedible food. Shame on Harbour Grill, it's manager and it's ownership. read more

Sorry Gilbert. Your story is not accurate. ALSO, you were not there (which you conveniently omitted). We asked your waiter to serve meals in three courses. First, the soup; Second, the sushi; And finally the beef and chicken as entrees. He agreed that sets a realistic expectation. You served the beef entree with the sushi. Your server said the second entree would be right out. Wouldn't be an issue if it came right out. It came 20-25 minutes later. It is not an unrealistic expectation to have entrees for the table to be served together and not within 20-25 minutes. Let me address your additional comments that are also off, but again you were NOT there. Your manager said she knew and clearly admitted that the food was exceptionally late. She blamed covid (along with a rookie server). She said management's policy is that they do not remove meals for any reason off any bill. Presumably that is your policy. I explained we did not want a meal that was served so late. She continued to ARGUE that your policy is despite when it's served the best she could do is box it up. If YOU or your manager were on top of your operations, you would have caught the issue when the sequence of meals was out of wack. But again you were not there. Unrealistic expectation?? Perhaps you should revise your response and send an apology next. read more

Used to work at this gem. I usually drop by to say hi from time to time but tonight I had to stop for a Smoked Burger. I was planning on eating it at home but I couldn't hold off. What can I say? I haven't tasted something so good since the very day I left. It taste better that the last time. Total props to the owners, you guys still got it! Much love to the harbour Grill family. read more

Originally I had a four star review. Had dinner at the restaurant last night. We spent over $500. My father-in-law ordered a steak. It was very tough. Right away he told the server. The server said there was nothing he could do. When we received the bill the steak charge was still on it. I spoke to the owner, he said why do we keep coming back if we're never satisfied. He would not take the steak off the bill. I will not come back to your restaurant. PS your air conditioning is still not working properly. I am overheard people outside saying it's cooler outside than in the restaurant. ---- FYI make sure you like your food/ food return policy!! read more

Food was neither here nor there. My wife & I placed an order for the following: King Reserve Steak Salmon a la plancha Million dollar fries Spicy tuna tower We realized this may have been too much for food for us and in the middle of our order we asked our waitress to please kindly remove the spicy tuna tower (not more than 30 seconds after ordering it) she proceeded to tell us that the order was already sent to the kitchen and can't be reversed. I was shocked and appalled. I still am. They should be embarrassed. For the reason of the waitress not walking over to the kitchen and asking them to pull back the spicy tuna tower, I'm done with this place. read more

For those of you who have difficulty finding this location (because I did) it is located on Harding ave literally right next to the Wells Fargo bank ! This location is EXTREMELY busy so be prepared to wait. One thing I enjoyed about this restaurant was that I was able to enjoy all of my favorite dishes in one meal ! I was able to eat my ribeye steak with a side of Caesar salad. I think it is amazing how delicious a Caesar salad that's parve can taste ! Their sushi was so beautifully presented and the fish was soft as butter ! I was so surprised with how amazing kosher food tastes and honestly I still am. Shocking how I think this one of my new favorite restaurants. The service was - OK. I felt kind of rushed ordering my food. I understand that they were busy but I spend money going out to eat to be able to enjoy a relaxing time with my family. It is pretty pricey. 3 lamb chops was 58$ WOW but I would definitely come back to eat here again ! P.S dishes come as served. You can not eliminate ingredients for other ingredients. & it is pretty noisy inside ! read more

Local diners over the years here. Went for an anniversary meal and we actually left feeling sad (and robbed). Sauces and meats were way too salty, edamame was brown and mashed potatoes very meh. Also my steak said it came with bacon which is why I ordered it and it was pastrami. Really expected more - especially for almost $100/person. read more

Vladimir was an amazing waiter helped us pick out the most delicious wagyu steak in all of surfside.

We visited this place few times, and never were disappointed. Slow smoked short rib just out of this world, literally melts in your mouth, sushi just great and service simply impeccable! Would give this place 6 stars! read more

There is not much point writing a review of this place because the vast majority of its patrons are a "captive audience" who strictly adhere to Jewish dietary laws and thus have relatively few alternatives and not much of standard of comparison. For those whose faith traditions permit wider choice, Harbor Grill has little to commend it. First, some of the prices are eye-popping. Hamburger is 35 bucks. Three lamb chops will set you back 95 bucks. To be fair, this is inevitable for a Kosher restaurant since they are closed on Friday and can only open after sundown Saturday which gives them a very short dinner service during the summer months. They have to make that lost revenue up somewhere. Moreover the cost of Kosher food products is high for a variety of reasons. Moving on, in my view, the food is iffy. Sometimes steaks are well cooked and tasty, but other times they are not cooked to the right temperature, are tough, or are surprisingly fatty. Sides are MEH. Mashed potatoes were a particular disappointment. As you would expect wine choices are limited to Kosher bottlings, many of which are just mediocre. Service is amateurish, thought servers are quite patient with large parties and their chaotic debates over ordering. A positive note is that the sushi rolls are fresh, tasty and appealing to the eye. In a world with so very many steakhouses to choose from, there is no reason to come here unless you keep Kosher, in which case you didn't need this review. read more

The grilled salmon was amazing. The seasonal veggies side goes great with this dish. Sweet potato fries are perfect!!!! Also, steak is cooked really well here! They know what they're doing !! I was not disappointed at all read more

5 stars for the best meat restaurant in Florida ! Never disappointed with my choices. They have the best short ribs flat bread, I really recommend to try it if you go there. The charcuterie platter is a must try! All charcuterie is homemade by the owner, the meat is cured and taste amazing. For those who don't like meat, they even have fish and sushis with a true sushi chef. Hands down for my favorite restaurant in Florida! read more

Ordered the braised short ribs. The sauce and gnocchi were delicious. The meat....not so much. Didn't really have that rich taste that short ribs usually have. I questioned the waiter, and he said it was because they were braised.??? I've had braised short ribs many times, at many other restaurants. I know what they should taste like. I doubt if this was actually short ribs, or some other cut, or just not quality quality meat. I won't be going back. read more

It was our second time in the restaurant but this time Sebastian our server made it special, he helped us to make the right choices and was checking in on us constantly, always with a smile and good attitude. What a great experience! Definitely coming back! If you want good food as well as excellent service this is the place, and especially with such a great server as Sebastian. Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely killer food 10/10 have you ever been to a place that serves a full lamb shank. I hadn't.until now it was unbelievable. It fell off the bone like a rack of ribs.also recommend veal chop and half baked cookie thing.definitely go. Worth your while read more

This place is glat kosher and is located several blocks south of bal Harbour... street parking is a must and there are PayByPhone meters around... We came in and it it totally remodeled, they even got the space next door... so for decor they have a point... not bad! Service was ok, our server a little too pushy for us to order several plates and the expensive ones... a minus there... food, the appetizers were so so... the sushi pizza decreased in flavor and quality... also poor on the salmon! The edamame, this is a no brainer... they were good... I ordered a burger as I had remembered that their burger was impressively good... but unfortunately not this time... it was missing texture, balance and homogeneity, so not so good there either... my daughter had a sushi roll, she could not finish it as it was not good... there were 2 steaks at the table that were actually very good hence my 3 stars... This place is not cheap, so expect a bill after your meal... All jn all, they need to improve in their food quality and for the price, even more so... Enjoy read more

Recently moved to Miami from NYC, and have been on the hunt for a really good kosher steakhouse. We found about Harbour Grill by its sister store next door called Harbour Bistro. We went to Harbour Bistro our first week in town to get some food for shabbat and absolutely loved it! We have been coming back every week to pick up food there, an amazing blend of traditional kosher food with a French/Moroccan twist. Since we loved the Bistro so much, we knew we had to try the Steakhouse next door. Once again, the food was phenomenal and we tend to be hard critics. What we had: Apps: Bulgogi Salad (Korean style short-rib salad) Million Dollar Fries Bao Buns (believe it was a special for the day) Steak: Special Steak for 2 (This was the highlight of the meal, cooked perfectly medium rare and finished off seared in Jack Daniels Sauce) As all good steakhouses, you get what you pay for. In our opinion this meal was definitely worth the price and we are happy we finally found our go to Steakhouse in Miami! read more

The owner of this place is a garbage person. We had a table with an appx $700 bill where one person didn't enjoy their steak. That individual tried to send it back and the owner came over and told us that it's the waiters fault and that the waiter would pay for the steak coming off our bill. He argued with us in front of the entire restaurant and made us feel awful about our whole night while we're on vacation. Do not go here!!! read more

I am wondering how this place still open. The staff is rude the owner is crazy, it's so much over priced $30 for a burger are you kidding me?! Steak go from $70 to $200 and it's your average bbq steak you make on Sunday. I prefer Fuefo a 100 times than this restaurant. read more

It was overall a great restaurant. My only complaint was the tacos were not really that good they were cold and didn't have much taste. I think it's the only thing that needs improvement ... not the best appetizer.. the nitro chicken is the best here! I always go back for that :) and the meats are amazing too! read more

The Harbour Grill - NITRO CHICKEN - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

For starters this review is just for the service since the food was terrific. My wife and I ordered the flatbread pulled beef starter, I ordered the 24 ounce steak and my wife got the truffle salad. It was all delicious and amazing. I would have given it 5 starts just for this. However, due to the fact that the restaurant adds a 18% tip to the order, I expect service to be truly fantastic. It wasn't. The server apparently didn't press "send" when ordering us our flatbread starter so the food came out before it did. Bread apparently is something we needed to ask for? Who knew ? Although these are simple mistakes and in another restaurant I would have discounted them, Harbour grill is a well known restaurant and again charges a mandatory tip which I presume is because of its first class service. I was not impressed. read more

Very disappointed my experience. The food was disgusting . To top it all the owner was very unprofessional and disrespectful. read more

The Harbour Grill - Here is the answer of the owner. As I said very disrespectful. Don't go there ! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Surfside, Florida

This the only Kosher steakhouse in Miami that truly competes with non-Kosher steakhouses. Apetizers are always on point, and my favorite: the imitation scallops are always tasty and well prepared. Steak is king of course and their cuts are extremely good, I've tried most of their cuts ( The Pepper Crusted filet and The King Reserve are my favorites ) and they never disappoint. During certain seasons they even offer Duck which is truly special.... If you're in the mood for a hamburger instead of a steak this is the right place to come, it is cooked and served to perfection. Service is attentive and acceptable, not extraordinary but acceptable (Thus the 4*and not 5*)... Place is pricey. Bon Apettit... read more

Enjoyed a delicious dinner here with my family. The food was good, the service was friendly but disorganized. We asked for bread. Had to ask many times. It was brought after the entrees. It was fresh. I think they baked it after we requested it. Sushi: Salmon avocado roll,& avocado roll. Fresh and tasty. Nicely presented. Served without ginger or wasabi. Had to ask for it and wait a while longer Chicken soup, grilled chicken with vegetables and mashed potatoes. My uncle liked his dishes. Chicken and pecan salad. My mom loved her dish. I had the Harbour Grill salad with grilled salmon. Very fresh and tasty and filling. The balsamic vinaigrette went well. Grilled bourbon salmon. Fresh, tasty. Scallops- very good texture for faux scallops, really tasty sauce. Prepared very well. Sliders. (my dad ordered these and loved them) For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and chocolate lava cake. While these did not resemble the samples brought they were quite tasty. Overall, the food is good here. It is also presented nicely. It's quite pricey, but as expected for kosher fine dining. The service is friendly but somewhat disorganized. We had reservations and were on time. Bread should have been prepared and brought out first. Having to request things many times detracts from the dining experience. It wasn't busy when we first arrived so not sure why this happened or if it is standard there. I would give them another chance when my family is in town again. read more

Any place that can still have my 90 year old gma and satisfy this kosher Czech butcher is fine with me. Grams had the lamb, cousin Kurt had the ribs, cousin Paula (no, not Paula Dean) had the pepper crusted steak (mad spicy), baby sis had some grilled chick salad and I had the spicy tuna roll. We got onion rings as the side and we all went to town. I def recc this restaurant to any Glott Kosher fam! Thanks Harbour Grill! read more
