Harborside

Hubby and I came here to eat with my niece and her little girl after church. It was packed but we didn’t have to wait for a table. Waitress was great. Food was delicious. The bread was yummy. My niece ordered the steak and added shrimp. I ordered steak with baked potato and salad. Loved the dressing on the salad. Hubby ordered the burger. We were too full for dessert.

On a busy night, after just a few minutes. My girl friend and I were fortunate enough to find two seats at the bar. Our bartender was very courteous and friendly she took care of us very well. We did have a small issue with one of the items we ordered and the manager came over immediately to make sure we were satisfied and we were. My overall experience was fantastic and well definitely be back again soon.

We celebrated our son in law and granddaughter's birthday. The food was amazing and delicious, the ambience was very welcoming. It was my first time visiting this place. So worth every bit of it. We'll be back.

Had an absolutely wonderful dinner tonight. Started with the Gator Bites which are phenomenal. There were 5 in our party, diners included Blackened Grouper, Crab Cakes, Baked Scallops & Shrimp (x2), and Stuffed Flounder. Every dinner cooked perfectly and very flavorful.
The service was outstanding, thank you Nicole!
The restaurant sits on the edge of a beautiful lake and offers wonderful views, especially at sunset. Definitely looking forward to going back again next time we are here.

Ordered the fish sandwich and it did not disappoint. It came out nice and hot and it was super tasty. Pair with the sweet potato fries and you have a perfect combo. I almost didn’t eat all of my fries as the size of the sandwich was huge. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for good seafood and a nice view of lake shipp

If you are looking for a seafood restaurant you have to come here, excellent service, excellent food and a family atmosphere. Plus an incredible view of the lake. If you like to eat outdoors, how I do, you are going to love this restaurant. My family and I enjoyed it 100% and recommend it 100%.

Our new favorite place! First time customers. We were immediately greeted with friendly, smiling faces. The lake view seating was exceptional, the booths were super spacious and our server, Hallie, was very knowledgeable, attentive, and professional.
The food was beyond amazing. (See photos) The bread was perfectly crisp on the outside but soft and fresh on the inside, the salad was, hands down, the best we have ever had; Super fresh, mixed and served at our table, and the dressing was indescribably delicious.
I ordered the chicken breasts with creamy mushroom gravy and my husband ordered the chicken pot pie. All phenomenal and extremely tender. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back.

We met at the dock here. The boat ride was informative, relaxing, and fun! We toured the chain of lakes. We saw where Tarzan was originally filmed, Esther Williams pool, Gilligan's Island scene shots, and the back side of Legoland. Also learned a lot about the area.

The service here from start to finish was amazing. The food was good, I had the stuffed flounder with old bay slaw, and that was delicious. The flounder was stuffed with shrimp and scallops. The salmon and filet were also delicious. The chicken casserole was tasty. The crab did need more seasoning for taste, but the broccoli was good. The overall experience here was great. We will definitely be back.

During our visit to Orlando, we had dinner with close friends at this lovely location. The staff were friendly and efficient, special mention to Mike. Food was wow, amazing. Fantastic memories to an awesome vacation. We will be back in the future!

Beautiful restaurant with an awesome lake view. Our server Alyssa,was very nice and friendly. The clam chowder soup is very creamy and delicious,best one I have tried so far. For my entree I ordered the mahi mahi with the sweet potatoes fries and rice and unfortunately was very overcooked and bland and the rice was mushy,but I ask for salmon instead and veggies and i
let me tell you OUT of this world both absolutely delicious. My husband lobster and steak super delicious too. Definitely coming back. Oh !And the cucumber martini pack with flavor and alcohol yummy!

Was on a visit from NYC and this place did not disappoint. I had the lobster bites and Asian Salad with blackend shrimp and it was delicious. The bartender Leslie was sweet as pie and very welcoming. Need a resy but I just sat at the bar. Omg!!! I tried to leave without ordering dessert but I couldn’t resist. And the peachcobblwe sent me straight to hell and then back. It’s too good!!!!Gratitude

First visit as I just moved to the area. However, it will not be my last. I ordered a Habor Spritz, Parmasean Baked Shrimp, and Scallops with a baked potato and broccoli. The cheese sauce was smooth, creamy, and flavorful. The shrimp and scallops were large but tender. Ansley, our server, was very helpful and attentive. The view is awesome. Will have to visit in the evening. I bet the sunsets here are awesome.

When I tell you this is a Bartow hidden gem that is exactly what It is. Wow the food was amazing the service was excellent I would definitely recommend this place we will be coming back

HARBORSIDE is a lovely restaurant overlooking Lake Shipp....watching the sun go down or gators swimming across the lake makes a lovely scenery...excellent seafood!!

The food was excellent, and the view of the harbor was pretty nice also. Definitely would recommend this place. First time here but will be returning.

Jasmine was a great server. Nice, friendly, good memory. At the beginning of the meal we asked about swordfish which unfortunately wasn't available that day.

We had a great meal and there were no regrets with what we ordered. When she brought us our check she said she was going to ask the chef about swordfish availability in the future.

I thought that was really cool that she remembered that we had asked about the swordfish. The chef came out to our table and we had a conversation about swordfish availability & I can't wait to go back again and try their swordfish.

Our food was hot & DELISH!

We went back to have the swordfish. It was melt in my mouth. Served with citrus butter sauce.
Memorable. Thank you

We often bring out of town friends and family. Forgot to take pictures of the food but the salmon with teriyaki sauce was perfection(I always ask for well done outside). So glad they were able to rebuild the dock after hurricane Ian. The views are so beautiful, a great backdrop for pictures.
The service is always good.
The only negative is, like everything else the prices have gone up.

Took my family here that is from out of town and it was stellar!! They absolutely loved it. The reviews spoke for themselves. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. 10/10 would recommend for the seafood! Overall, fantastic experience will be back!

Really relaxing views of Lake Ship! Clean restaurant and very good food! Highly recommend the blackened grouper sandwich!
