Why Travelers Love Harbour House

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.2 / 5.0(3,389 reviews)

Heard a lot about this place , so I was expecting a perfect 10. Atmosphere is classy and staff is extremely nice with some minor faults ( bread and oil coming after dishes...) . Prawn salad is very good. Cesar salad on the other hands is lacking the taste of grilled chicken ( stewed?). Prices are atbthe upper level. Everything in this restaurant was great. The service was very welcoming, and we were served by a gentleman (sorry, I didn’t get his name) who went above and beyond. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend this place! Harbour House (H/H) offers a dining experience at V&A Waterfront. For seafood lovers it is the best restaurant to explore with food and enjoy the taste of different pallets from sushi to seafood pasta. The food was absolutely and enjoyed everything about it. Though I wanted to have a chia latte but unfortunately it wasn't offered. The service was of the highest order. Attention paid to details. One can't start to explain the atmosphere, you just have to experience it. Out of this world. It is complimented by the views of the docking and launching of the cruising yatcts. Highly recommend restaurant. H/H.

A wonderful venue. Beautiful view of the bay Esona, our waitron was excellent. Knowledgeable about the menus and the wine and great interaction with our guests. I trust management appreciate her. My favourite starter, Prawns with spicy Mozambique, was not up to standard. ( I've had it a few times before). The ciabata was so -so. I will go back in hope.

I was at HH with a party of 10 from work. The service was very efficient. Atmosphere is great. Food options a delicious. I had the Mussels Starter, Seafood Risotto for Main and Cheese Cake for Dessert. It was absolutely, mouth wateringly delicious. Perfect for a date night with your significant other, your family or a work dinner.
