Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom

"Dustin was great, food was tasty, and nice atmosphere for a relaxed evening"

"Flavorful food with kind crew"

"Harborside restaurant is an old-school dining establishment right at the end of Newport Bay. It has its charms. The place has limited free paring for guests, but you can park at the nearby lots for a small fee. The place is well run and clean and provides excellent views of the harbor. We came for lunch and they have a weekday happy hour menu until evening which was very convenient. Their happy hour menu is great for snacks and appetizers. Highly recommend the onion ring tower. Great app to share. The Tuna tacos were average and nothing special. Their menus offer a variety of offerings primarily around seafood (duh!), but they do offer non-seafood protein options as well for those not a fan of seafood. Drinks they have a full menu and bar so feel free to order what you like I opted for an old-fashioned which was delicious, not too weak, not too strong either. For food, I went with the swordfish. As someone who eats a lot of tuna and salmon at home, when I eat out, I tend to prefer white fish. Swordfish is perfect as it has a “steak-like” preparation and very filling. This one was cooked very well, the rice pilaf has a nice flavor to it and the veggies are cooked just right. Next time I’d ask for the fruit salsa on the side as it doesn’t do much for the dish. Other popular dishes our party got was the seafood pasta and definitely check out their daily specials"
