Dinner for four, next to the fire and the winter swell below. A handful of tables, so the only sound of noise and laughter came from the staff in the kitchen. The visual and ambiance of the Harbour House has always made it a fantastic dining experience. Not so the service and the harassment in the parking lot! We dined... More

We visited having not made a reservation but the staff were very accommodating and sat us straight to the table. There was complimentary bread and oils. The server was very knowledgeable and explained all of the specials. We had mussels and calamari to start which were both delicious and then beef and mussels for main. The mussels were huge and...

This was our second visit to this restaurant but it will be our last. The menu has become too "fashionable" and the food was just average. I supose the service was ok but it was all "have a nice day" and automatic, nothing personal. It is an amazing setting but it needs to serve lovely food as well.

The location is fabulous, especially on a sunny day. I had lunch at the Harbour House in april, on a very sunny day, and if you have a reservation (or go there early / late), and you sit on a "window table" overlooking the sea, the view is amazing. But the location is not the only reason why I like... More

We had a party of seven. I personally had a great meal. I was recommended the Angel fish with a poached egg and was extremely satisfied. The presentation was immaculate (see photo). Two in the party rated their meals as "good". The balance of us were on the "great" side of the spectrum. It's welcoming to experience an establishment who... More

Really the only thing going for this restaurant is the location which is superb. The service was literally horrific, the food was very very average bordering on poor, the restaurant is totally over priced. The A La carte menu is very limited there were specials we found out later which the waiter never bothered to mention.

Coming from Asia, where we already thought we had sampled the best seafood and romantic views, we were excited and most delighted with Harbour House. We had their special of the house, the Seafood platter which was a generous portion fit for 3 people of Crayfish(mini lobsters), mussels, king prawns, baby octopus and 6 juiciest fat milky oysters from Namibia...

First time back for a few years, however the quality and the ambience remain. Booked about 2 weeks in advance but could not get a window seat (as we had been many times before this was not an issue); however worth booking early if it is a special occasion and you want to be sitting overlooking Kalk Bay. Food was... More
