Reviews of Harbourside
C.
Looking for a romantic dinner place? This is it. This restaurant sits on the harbour as mentioned in its name. My husband and I came here just when the sun was setting so the ambience was perfect. We ordered ourselves a couple of bubblies and they were delicious. Quite extensive drink menu I would say. The food was good but not out of this world. We ordered the beer battered fish and chips and the 4 seafood appetizer platter. All except the tuna that came with the platter was good. The tuna sashimi wasn’t fresh for sure. It felt like it was not only defrosted but that it wasn’t done properly because I can taste the water in the fish. Still giving this place 4 stars because everything else was lovely. The view, the service, the speed of the food coming out from the kitchen… definitely would come back here again; just not for the tuna.
A.
Lovely place, it has inside seating and outside (on the deck with panoramic sea views) we went during sunset and it was amazing!, the food is very tasty as well and they also have mocktails and had the best one ever! Will def visit again!
J.
It was my second time booking here and I'm sorry to say, I'm a bit disappointed either the food again. I find it to be a bit bland and pricey oth actually not much for what you pay.
The venue is very nice and 5* bit I must say I'm abit disappointed with your food abit sorry.
The waiter had a very dirty and old looing mask on 😷 that looked like she had been wearing it for week 🤮 very unhygienic. Please change your mask regularly.
$38 pan fried fish... Green for that price, I thought I would get a whole fish on my plate instead this is what I got. Also $28 dor eggplant that was fine, I just expected it to be larger portion sizes.🍆
M.
By far the best food we have tasted in ages! Our new favorite go to for dinning! The entire place is just awesome and the water views having food as a stingray cruises past is an experience! Can not recommend highly enough! Should be 6 stars! We'll be back!
A.
Lovely experience and beautiful food, first time dining here and we will definitely be back. Our waiter Callum was excellent and very attentive and lovely host
M.
The food was definitely divine, especially the salmon! A lovely spot on Tauranga harbour & even though it was a rainy night when we visited I can imagine the view on a gorgeous summers day.
The Maitre De could have been a little more personable and I would have thought at such a highly rated venue could have managed better than a jumper & sneakers for work attire.
Our waitress however was lovely so made up for it.
A.
The service was very good the staff was very friendly and helpful answering questions and confirming answers with the kitchen staff.
The food was spectacular steak and venison was cooked perfectly and the fish of the day had great flavor.
Can't wait to go back again and try some more of the menu and maybe even desert next time.
Have to note that had a great Whisky selection as well.
K.
2021 review this restaurant is still one of the best in Tauranga. The views are great from anywhere in the restaurant and the staff are A1. The food as always is exceptional and cannot be faulted. If you are after a first class meal you are mad not to go here.
E.
Amazing amazing amazing...100% going back again.
Im going to work my way through the whole menu.
Y.
Top class place for lunch or dinner, right by the harbour, food is supreme
C.
Food was absolutely delicious. Service was great. Lovely atmosphere
J.
Good menu choices, quality & tasty food, adequate helpings at acceptable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff, serving later than most other nearby establishments.
S.
Excellent location, it's great fun to look across the water whether at night or day. Provides a pleasant atmosphere.
The staff are also very helpful and provide good service. Nothing short of five stars.
However, for the price, while the food was undoubtedly good I would hope that it would pass the line into excellence.
I highly recommend the truffled mushrooms - easily the best part of the meal.
D.
We went here with our friends to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I was disappointed when our waiter didn't wear a mask. He did have a exemption for not wearing a mask and preceded to tell me why with all his medical conditions why he couldn't wear a mask. We decided to change watiers. Our food was OK. Parts of it was just warm. It was disappointing meal.
T.
Had been here 3 years ago for dinner and gave a good review but this time for lunch the food was not great. The waitress was friendly and took our photo for us. We had an entree of duck pancakes which were nice my wife did not have a main but I had a steak which was full of gristle and not very well cooked, I had mushroom sauce which was disgusting and looked like (sorry) baby poo. This came with colgannon mash but it had been cooked in a mould and over cooked. Overall disappointment.
A.
This is such a lovely location, great views of the harbour and boating activity, added interest with trains commuting over the rail bridge. Our table enjoyed a tasty seared tuna entree and a seafood chowder entree and mains mussel and salmon dishes. All the dishes were very enjoyable, with loads of interesting flavours. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and smiling, great to see! There is parking outside.
Z.
Was just thinking about the Sambucca creme Brulee I had 10 years at my brothers 18th birthday. It was truly that amazing that I think about it at least once a year. Looking forward to visiting this summer
T.
One of best restaurants in Tauranga in my experience.
Foods are very tasty and good atmosphere. Highly recommend
M.
My wife had the amazing Hapuka market fish of the day - simply outstanding, I had the seared Tuna as a starter, absolutely amazing and had the seafood chowder for a light meal which was full of seafood variety. Service was excellent and lovely setting. Highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate returning next time we are in Tauranga.
K.
An old yacht club with an railway bridge on top crossing the harbour, amazing views, foods with friendly and professional service, I very enjoy my espresso affogato.
I.
Fabulous setting right on the water, would be stunning on warm summer nights and days with a great view over the inner harbour. Service and food are top class. This is a very busy place and bookings are essential. On the down side, in winter at night there's not much that can be seen outside. In summer, book a veranda table so you can enjoy the view. Like most restaurants, loud groups can make conversation hard, not much anyone can do about that, sadly. If you want more intimacy, book for a later time rather than earlier, but you will need to book well in advance. Everything was very well presented, friendly team, although our table had a very bad wobble which I'm sure they would have been fixed if I'd mentioned it.
D.
We had the Peking lamb to start. While not traditional Peking duck, it was still very tasty and a decent portion for the two of us.
For mains, we has the lamb rack and the venison loin. Both were well cooked and delicious. The garlic potatoes could have done with more flavour, and the vegetables with the loin were nothing special.
We finished with the chocolate fondante and brulee. The fondante was one of the best we've had from a restaurant. Unfortunately, the brulee came out overcooked, and was slightly rubbery.
Overall, a good experience and we will be back to try some of the other dishes.
A.
Got a great seat beside the window,high tide and great out look.excelkent customer service but very average food.
S.
The food was great, not amazing tho. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was quite nice. Just be aware that you might spend there an hour per course hence I recommend just have one meal and go because even it is not packed they take ages to bring the food. I also wish they had a better variety of international wines although it seems to be a problem in all Tauranga/Mt Maunganui region.
K.
Fantastic food and it was super nice how everyone sung our boy happy birthday when the cake came out. Thank you so much
V.
So the last pic I posted says all... empty plates. The menu was in the form of a newspaper which was amazing. Right from appetisers to mains and drinks it was great experience. The environment was great and so as views. Worth dining here while visiting Tauranga. Thumbs up to food, drink and experience 👍🏻. A must recommended place to have a wonderful evening!
C.
The food was amazing and the service was very awesome thanks Rockie
R.
We come here to celebrate special occasions, great food great outlook, great service, great food.
K.
Mediocre experience. Asked to be seated in outer area but were declined even though not busy. We had actually eaten and were paying before the tables were being filled. Quite disappointing as this was a 50th birthday meal!! As for the food - we started with pancake duck to share. Not crispy at all and we've eaten better from most Chinese take aways!! Mains were very bland. On the plus side, presentation was good as was table service. Rather pricey for standard of food.
C.
This restaurant is amazing had the share platter and it was delish .. the view while we ate lunch was amazing highly recommend
E.
Great taste. Good service. Only rated 4 because we weren't told about specials or sold out items on menu.
S.
Lovely atmosphere and excellent food. Helpful nice people, excellent service.
H.
Excellent site and great food and service. Would return
T.
Delicious food and great setting. The service was just top notch though, really makes a difference.
A.
The atmosphere was peaceful next to the water with some quiet tunes in the background. I was worried that ‘fine’ dining would not have enough food but it was just right. We had the pan fried fish of the day so very delectable I wanted to drink the sauce. My friend had the pan fried chicken breast that he said was wonderful.
E.
Lovely location, great service and delicious dishes. Try the mocktails!
M.
Food was delicious, great service from friendly and helpful staff
C.
Excellent sea view and ambiance. Good food and friendly service. Highly recommended
K.
Delicious food in an upscale atmosphere with top notch service and a beautiful view

N.
Service, food, setting - all worthy of the price tag !! Thank you for a great evening.
J.
Quintessential waterside restaurant. Brilliant setting, great wait staff, excellent meal.
R.
This place is awesome. We awarded off with a cocktail which was delicious then our food came out. We were blown away with the presentation and then we tasted it. Absolutely Devine. Staff was friendly. Prices were reasonable. All in all a fabulous night with delicious food and the views are amazing. Highly recommend 👌
K.
Excellent service and meal, look forward to another visit
S.
Amazing location with a 100% unique view. Food was local and modern and unpretentious.
M.
Very well looked after from the minute we went in. It was a stormy evening, the place was warm and cosy with the added comfort of a blanket, the atmosphere was busy and humming with the ease of a well run restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was devine, from presentation to the different flavours and textures. We tried the mushroom malady which was new to the menu a lovely winter warming dish followed by venison how delicious the whole experience was.
A.
Our party of four celebrated a birthday here. On a Busy Saturday evening we were shown to our excellent harbourside table promptly. Service was brisk throughout the evening, our meals were wonderful, and we enjoyed a very pleasant dining experience. Our 2nd visit here but not our last.
M.
Beautiful location looking out over the Harbour! The food was stunning, seafood chowder, mussels and chicken thigh stack. Excellent service from our lovely waitress Ella. We'll be back for sure!
H.
Beautiful meals in a great atmosphere with quality service, can absolutely see why this is a local and long standing favourite for Tauranga
M.
Fabulous. Staff very helpful. Food exceptional. Drinks perfect.
E.
Excellent customer service and nice food. The Chinese style duck really has half duck. Best for meat hunter.
M.
A lovely meal with my wife!
A small selection of vegan friendly options, but tasty options they were. We had a mushroom risotto and split a hearty salad main for a starter.
Beware: no vegan dessert options.
S.
Very good view and taste. The venison was cooked just well.
J.
We booked 2 days out for the last weekend before Xmas. Naturally they were fully booked. They kindly accommodated us on the second sitting. The food and menu choice was superb and we could not fault it. The FOH staff were friendly with prompt service at all times. And did I mention the view. I could go on and on...
S.
Awesome location in Tauranga's old yacht club on the water. Great service and amazing food.
S.
I was recommended the wasabi sauce with my oysters by the front of house staff. Hands down, best oysters I've ever had! Highly recommend.
A.
Very nice setting. Booked a table which would be a good idea as they look to get busy. Greeted as we arrived with their special greeting lady, a bit as though, why are you here, no Hello how are you, welcome. Just the look, you know, bad day. Onto the table and our waitress Jess, she out shone the greeting by a mile. Friendly, chatty told us the specials and ordered drinks straight away. Awesome Jess, thanks.
Food was good, beer battered fish with chips and chicken breast with pasta, very nice. Dessert, chocolate brownie and latte to finish. View a bit dark but would imagine it would be great for lunch.
Recommend the Harbourside for dinner definitely be back.
T.
Loved the food and the atmosphere, gorgeous little place next to the ocean, can't complain about the food it was delicious! My drinks were sublime (mojito) The service was very quick in regards to taking our order and the food didn't take all that long. Overall 5 star experience.
U.
What a wonderful restuarant. There were 16 of us and we all received our wonderful meals together. The staff were excellent and so was the atmosphere. Would 100% recommend.
J.
Had a Anniversary 3 course meal. Best food I have ever tasted. Much attention to detail on the plate, set out and presented immaculate. With perfect portion sizes. No faults at all. I would highly highly recommend!

P.
Excellent service fantastic meal and the best Pina coladas .

Mum takes friends and family there often (several times a year).

Celebrated our engagement dinner with family last night at Harbourside. We could not have been more impressed by the staff, food, drinks and overall experience. Thank you very much for hosting us. Special mention to our lovely waitress who was very attentive, we felt well looked after.
A.
Beautiful evening spent at The Harbourside on Saturday evening celebrating a special family birthday. All the meals were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Great desserts and friendly, attentive service.

A-MAZING food and Service. The 'Veal to die for and the sea food chowder, yum. Great job team.

Always impressed whenever we come here. Beautiful setting, wonderful service and outstanding food. Still one of the best!!!
S.
Absolutely brilliant experience, staff were lovely, our waiter was great, food was perfect, portion size was just right and the atmosphere was really nice.
Thank you to the whole team at Harborside for a beautiful night of dining.
T.
Love the atmosphere at this establishment. It is a little hard to find as it is off of the beaten path, but there is an excellent view of the sea while dining. I had an issue with my food, and it was taken care of promptly and politely. Prices are very reasonable, and portions are generous. Service is amazing, and staff are super friendly. Will be back for several more visits in the near future.
K.
Lovely food lovely staff, caters for food allergies we will definitely be back
A.
If you're looking for a view, accompanied by delicious meals and a beautiful atmosphere, look no further. Harbourside provides in every single way. Far exceeds any expectations I had walking in. The twice cooked pork belly was wonderful couldn't fault the meal at all, even the walnuts were an absolute treat, I speak for a few of us when I say we cleaned our plates. Main was just delicious, our eye fillet came out in a timely manner, tasted great and we were well attended too by our waiter, whom was very energetic and friendly that we didn't overly mind. Dessert provided as it did impress, melt in your mouth lava cake with a delightful fruit mix on the side, the pairing couldn't have been better. The cocktails were fabulous, they were well garnished and tasted great. The only small thing I noticed was the bartender must free pour his drinks as my second cocktail (mojito) was alot stronger than my first (mojito) however more alcohol for the same price is never a bad thing. Location: 9/10
Atmosphere: 10/10
Food: 9/10
Parking: 10/10
Service: 9/10
Drinks: 9/10
Cleanliness: 10/10
Overall: 9/10
I highly recommend visiting harbourside restaurant!
J.
Loved the food and friendly service thanks 😊
J.
Stunning food, service and staff...waiter was really interactive after we discussed that oysters weren't available as run out , so we have decided to come back on a Tuesday or Thursday, lol.
Also stunning display on water from lots of kingfish and gulls . Meal highlight if have to pick one was the Tuna
M.
Was a gr8 experience. Serve & food 110%.
Gr8 effort.
K.
Always our favourite restaurant. Delicious food, beautifully presented. Excellent service.
P.
Absolutely superb in all aspects.....highly recommended!
C.
Really great location for a lovely dinner, but the service that night was lacking, this is the only reason I haven't given harbourside 5 stars. The meals were nice and the atmosphere is great. Recommend dining for a nice quiet meal
G.
Have come here many times. Service is excellent the food is amazing and the place is beautiful and secluded. Great for family dinners or a more romantic setting!
S.
Beautiful meals and great service. The timing of each course was ideal - not too close that you felt rushed or too far apart that you felt like they'd forgotten you!
Our party of 5 had a seafood platter, pork belly and calamari as entrées. All were flavourful and well prepared. For mains we had chicken, fish and chips, garlic prawn spaghetti and mushroom risotto. Again; these were all absolutely delicious. We didn't have any sides as we collectively decided that dessert was more important 😆
We had the Pimms cheesecake, the brownie, the lamington chocolate fondant and the espresso brulee. If there was any crticism to be had at all, it was that the brulee had a tiny bit of burned sugar in the crust. But that's being really critical - it was still delicious.
All in all, we had a wonderful evening and I would highly recommend a visit. Our meals, including cocktails beer and wine was $428, so while being on the more costly side, was well worth it for the quality and service.
P.
Had a lovely meal celebrating a friend's birthday. Our server was amazing and helped me choose a dessert by swapping out an item I do not like. Great evening
B.
Best dining experience we've had in years. Service was 5star and food was 10star! Can't wait to go back again.
V.
Outstanding evening. Great service and excellent food. Pricey but that’s ok. For those who don’t check out the desserts, you are missing the best brûlée. Don’t miss the squid starter either
A.
Great meals, and fantastic desserts. Everyone at the table really enjoyed themselves. Meals on the expensive side but you get a good view and yummy meals. Also stocks little creatures pale ale which is a must if you haven't tried it!
R.
What an outstanding restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a table on the deck and the harbour view and setting was outstanding. The menu was really good. For entree I had squid. It was dusted with flour and pan fried. It wasn't tough or chewy and there was a good serving. I then had the John Dory fish for a main and totally loved it. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine. The wait staff were very good and the prices per course reasonable given the quality. I will definitely go back. This has to be one of the best restaurants in Tauranga.
K.
Have enjoyed many meals at the Harbourside Restaurant over many years but Saturday 4th January was terrible. I asked for my steak to be Medium to Well done and got a Rare -Medium.
Food was sparse and lacked quality. 6 of the 10 Adults were totally disappointed with Entrees and Mains so we left without seeking the dessert menu.
We spent $600 but wont be back whilst this place serves meals like this. The waitress was very pleasant and the restaurant is in a great location. Pity about the standards.
R.
Excellent service. Superb menu. Quaint old world charm in a heritage building. It used to be Tauranga's old yacht club. Great views across the bay from the verandah. Water laps the edge of the restaurant. Superb experience.
L.
Absolutely awesome. Brilliant service and the food was incredible. Out of 6 of us..6 were very pleased. Will definitely go again.
M.
Nice location and outlook but this time we were not that impressed with our meals sorry. Several other eateries have now caught up with you.
M.
The food was fantastic, especially the roast duck and our desserts. Our waitress Megan was very entertaining and charming, great sense of humour :) will definitely be back again.
C.
Food was great! It was made perfectly though it was served a bit late. I love the steamed mussels, good flavour really tasty but a bit salty. The chowder was good but small serving in a big bowl plate. Resotto beetroot and salmon with seaweeds were amazing! However, the manager/owner was not happy when we asked her to move to another table to get a nice view. Other than that, the experience was awesome!
R.
Great meal, excellent service.
n.
Amazing squid to start with and great risotto as well. Great service
V.
Their food was excellent, the service and atmosphere superb
K.
This is a great place to eat.
The food is always beautifully presented and very tasty
The staff are knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive.
Sitting right on the harbour adds to the ambience obviously whether rain or shine.
It is a Tauranga icon after about 30 years in business...try it...you won't be disappointed.
T.
On a recent visit friends, who live in Tauranga, took us to Harbourside for dinner. It was a wonderful surprise. The location is amazing with wonderful views of the water. The choice of food was excellent. It was all cooked to perfection - portion size was just right. The service was great - the waiter treated us like old friends offering advice when asked. Would certainly recommend to all.
R.
Great meal and awesome atmosphere we went early so was quieter but still it's the people who make this place great and they obviously have the best.

I remember many times being so happy every time we went for dinner there. What a great service and delicious experience there. My most favourite date was with my son when he took me for Mothers Day there. He used to be a suis chef and his first Technology teacher at Boys college was a chef there from Switzerland. Wonderful people and wonderful dishes all of them. Thanks for being there for such a long time. And we remember you after decades and still have that beautiful taste of your dishes in our memories.
T.
We have often been to Harbourside and loved the food, service and ambience. Last evening though, after a beautiful main course of lamb back straps and one of us had the salmon which was also superlative, Harbourside seems to have been there forever, and some of the dishes on the menu have been as well. It's got a lovely view of the harbour,
S.
Good food but the service could be refined. If I'm paying that kind of money I expect professional service. Our waiter was a nice person I'm sure, but seemed to think that we were there for his entertainment. I was also very surprised when he just cleared away our mains, glasses, everything and walked away. Didnt ask if we wanted anything else - we had to prompt that. We were thrown a bunch of dessert menus on the table and then had to wait almost 20 minutes before our order was taken. No apologies for the delay at all - just attitude. Very disappointing as the previous time we were there it was such a nice experience. We wont be going back.
G.
What a great location right on the waters edge.
All four of us enjoyed our meals, service was good on a very busy night.
Thanks heaps
D.
I dine here pretty much every time I visit my parents, and we're never disappointed with any aspect of Harbourside. The food, drinks and location are all excellent, but it's the staff who really shine. They are so kind to my elderly parents, always make them feel special, and get them laughing!
C.
Loved every part of our time there service was great meal was delicious.will definitely be going back again.
G.
Great location geat food awesome service
D.
We totally forgot our anniversary and called late, but the team at Harbourside were very accommodating! On arrival, the service was prompt and super friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the banter with our waiter! The Peking duck was very enjoyable. My chicken stack was devine and his lamb strap, while a touch over done for his liking, was full of flavour and portions were very generous! Dessert menu was impressive which made deciding very difficult! But the freeze dried mandarin with the chocolate lava cake sold me and I was not disappointed! Thankyou to the team for making our night enjoyable and we will certainly be back!
B.
Super meal, lovely staff.
T.
This place is delicious, great staff, super fast delivery of orders to table. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
C.
View over the water and boats, easy parking and service excellent. Last night fish of the day and my husband had fish and chips, both tasty, beautifully cooked well presented. Not huge meals but we were full. Back again tonight it was so good and tried the venison and fish and chips again. Venison was unbelievably tender, tasty and plentiful. Sit in the verandah area if possible and there are cafe curtains if cold. Bar area to start with. Highly recommend but need to book.
P.
Our 4th annual visit and they're continually hitting 95%, which is good! Service is great, and most of the food is too - there is always one dish, out of six, that only hits 6/10, however. We'll see you next year!
s.
Amazing food! Oysters were delicious haven’t been able to find any better in the north island since!!
J.
Not as good as it has been in the past. Don't know if it's changed hands but my daughter in law ordered a seafood chowder that had no recognizable seafood in it and she especially asked the waitress if she would be able to separate out the muscles when she ate it as she might not want to eat them. Everything was blended together so was not able to be separated. I ordered a drink that never came and when my son ask the waitress for an explanation of something on the menu she obviously knew nothing and simply read what it said on the menu, over his shoulder. I hope this is not the new Harbourside as we have all ways loved it.
H.
The first time I came here it was totally amazing. I really wanted to come here again. Today I came with high expectations, but these sadly were not fulfilled. We were seated at a balcony table, but the curtain was down and there was bird poo right by my husband's head. We asked (nicely) if the curtain could be opened and a lady came back telling us no but she would shift us. Great! But unfortunately the attitude wasn't. The way the menus were grabbed, the body language and overall attitude was not pleasant. The waitress was lovely. The other lady came and asked us if we wanted to order drinks, 30 seconds after the waitress had. Our answer was the same, not yet. She did not look pleased and took the drinks order away. My husband and I chatted about what we wanted to drink then asked her when she came back, what beers they had. After rolling of eyes and drink menus forcefully placed on our table, our order was taken. I must say I was surprised it to be offered a glass. So just drank from the bottle.
Our entire was nice. For main my husband ordered the fish of 4ge day, John Dory. It was YUM. The sauce, texture, flavour was beautiful. I ordered the spaghetti with scallops and white fish and seafood bisque. Sooo disappointing. The scallops were overcooked, and there was a tomato sauce that my husband summed as it tasted like "spaghetti in a can".
We were not asked how we were enjoying our meal. After plates being cleared, my husband's while I was still eating, menus for dessert were just placed on the corner of the table. If we had been asked we would have said no thank you as we had decided to leave.
The first time we came was so very different, there was nothing we could fault in food or service. Such a shame.
a.
Excellent friendly service. Great menu. Loved the crispy duck and pancakes, and the seared tuna was divine. The waiter was fun, enjoyed his banter, and my mother in law loved the back rub! We'll be back
R.
Food was divine, service was fantastic. Beautiful setting on waterfront. Love this resturant & would highly recommend. Must go here at least once if live in or are visiting Tauranga. Online booking system makes it so easy & convenient to make reservation. 😊
S.
Lovely fresh food of good quality. Great atmosphere sitting on the verandah. Wait staff very friendly and efficient..

This has to be tauranga's best restaurant, it has been here for many years, the food, atmosphere and service are top notch. Their dishes have sophisticated flavors and the options are good. Also great wine and dessert options and it's hard to leave here without sampling all courses.
J.
Beautiful food, friendly service
M.
Enjoyed a Sunday Lunch here and the food and service was great. Lovely location seated over the water. Now I know why one must book well ahead for dinner here. Great food, staff and location.
J.
Great setting for that special meal and is extremely popular which could explain why basic host skills like asking how the meals are that they served and would you like to see the dessert menu are missing and when a comment is made that a meal was not up to scratch, it was virtually ignored by the front of house. Small points but they do make a difference.
R.
Excellent rump, but a bizarre experience. I was advised NOT to order it med. rare as it could be tough!
It would be better having it med well or well done!
Anyone who knows anything about food, knows the more you cook it, the more it toughens!
I stuck to my guns and had a good steak.
A.
Our party of 7 absolutely loved all of our meals. The service was fantastic . Definitely recommend the food the restaurant the staff ! Thank you
O.
Great food, location, view and customer service
A.
Great venue. Tasty food with an interesting menu. They also have a light meals choice section on the menu. Excellent service. Value for money.
N.
Well were to start... Good service from the waiter, although when walking in I haven't had the impression of a "warm welcome", smiles are not on the menu. Food: started with the "Assiette of Seafood Entrees" - nicely done, fresh and tasty, then Duck Leg, Wakanui Rump and Pork Cutlet with Salads. The rump should have been medium, but was rare. The pork was dry. It lacked flavour. Highlight was the duck, with a good choice of vegetables resembling of Asian fusion (warning: has Coriander in it). Salads are fine, dressing a bit on the sweet side. Didn't go for a desert, just had Espresso, which was sour (sorry never had such a bad one before). To sum it up, can't understand the hype around this restaurant. Overpriced and quality issues. There are better places in Tauranga for less money.
P.
Fantastic food. Excellent service. Great views. Decent prices. Try the "assiete" for a nice selection of starters. Highly recommended. You'll probably need to make a reservation.
R.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Harbourside-beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and service. The view adds to it as well. Me & my Family had a really good time in such a relaxed atmosphere. Thankyou so much.♥️♥️
C.
Great venue. Awesome staff and fabulous food. Doesn't get much better than this
J.
Every time we go here we are impressed. They've got a great menu and are well worth the price.
Lovely location in the evening as well.
Very much recommended for an intimate or celebratory dinner.
A.
Amazing food, went back for Dinner after we went out for lunch. I had the salmon for lunch and shared some sides with the table and had the chicken for Dinner. It was really really good and super full for a Monday evening, would recommend as wasnt crazy expensive either.
D.
This place is one of the best fine dining restaurants we've ever been to - highly recommend going here if you're in Tauranga! The mains were excellent, I had the eye fillet and my husband had the Chinese duck, both cooked to perfection, however the desserts were the standout for us, my malteser brulee was super decadent and I have to say the best dessert I've ever had, whilst my husband also thoroughly rated his warm chocolate brownie. Great atmosphere, awesome service and reasonable pricing, we will be back!
J.
Amazing food. Great service. You will see me again. Prices in line with similar quality places around town.
B.
Our nice server Michaela took good care of us and made some good food recommendations. We started with the prawn toasts (indescribable but REALLY good), then followed with Fish and chips (light and good) and the coconut chicken salad which was shaved cucumber, poached chicken, coconut, and peanuts with a light refreshing dressing-quite good (according to my spouse).

Loved our lunch at Harbourside today. Food was delicious, staff wonderful, view and ambience lovely. Always a favourite restaurant to dine at. Rated more than 5 stars. Will definitely be back for more. Well done Harbourside.
J.
We enjoy a lot of restaurants and this one is great. Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere, excellent service, and good wine. A solid 10. If there was a 15 that would be our rating hands down.
H.
Enjoyed nice service and lovely John dory dish.
J.
10 out of 10. All 4 of our meals were perfect and delicious. Excellent service by VJ who knew the menu very well, gave great advice & was friendly & entertaining. Made our night out even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
D.
Fantastic food, good drink selection and quality, superb service.
J.
Another fantastic meal at the Harbourside last night. Food was excellent, ambience perfect and service as always above and beyond. Can't wait to go back. Anyone visiting Tauranga would be remiss not to make a reservation and treat themselves to a truly exceptional evening.
S.
Lovely food, lovely atmosphere.
B.
My partner and I enjoyed a John Dory dish together while watching the action in the harbor, including many ferries. A cruise ship was docked alongside. The restaurant is very close to the Maritime Museum, and a visit there could easily be paired with a lunch or dinner here. It was a very pleasant evening
L.
One of the most lavish places I could have ever visited. Great surroundings and wonderful interiors. Food and very attentive staff is a bonus for the customers. Great place to visit.
A.
Beautiful atmosphere and ambience looking out over the harbour. . Lovely place to have my aunts 80th birthday plarty
A.
Fantastic meal. Great service. Awesome setting.
W.
Went with friends, one of whom recommended it as a good experience from a few years ago and WOW!!! The service and the food were exceptional! It was sooooo good that I was raving about it to my friends and work mates and am now going back with a special friend, down from Auckland, tomorrow evening and he is a connoisseur of fine dining..... I'm certain he will love it too. Will post again afterwards.
B.
Oozes class. Five star dining. Deserves it's reputation as one of the best in the Bay. On the deck dining on a summers evening looking out at a beautiful harbour at sunset. Romantic as! Oh, and the food, delicious.
N.
Great food with a wonderful atmosphere over the water. Sadly, one of the steaks came out too rare. However, the wonderful service made up for it with complementary desserts. That's the way it should be!
D.
Great front of house staff, very helpful and accommodating.Food was very tasty.
K.
Amazing restaurant! Came in here with my partner and had an really nice meal.
Started of with the Peking duck pancakes and let me tell you they were so delicious best I've ever had.
To follow my partner had the sirloin steak cooked to perfection med rare with the smoked garlic sauce. I had the seared venison and the vanilla kumara mash and the celeriac and roquette remoulade balanced the meal very well. I heard it was a staple dish of Harbourside and recommend it to anyone. I don't know how we managed it but we did dessert as well. My partner had the brownie and I had the pear tart both great. Also have to point out the service was very good also.
a.
i have visited this restaurant with my friends and we have tasted the Grilled Ciabatta Bread which was very delicious and looking awesome. i really enjoyed the food. thank you for serving such delicious food.
K.
Arguably one of the best restaurants in Tauranga, but not without some minor niggles.
It is not arguable that it does have one of the best locations in town, especially if you are seated in the "outdoor area", which hangs over the water where fish feed at night.
The service seems to vary from day to day, with minimal delays and excellent hosts one night, to absolutely average wait times and waitresses the next.
The selection of food is well presented, though a lack of changes on the menu can leave you bored a after a few visits.
The steak selection should be noted, as the cuts are exactly the same as offered at the Botswana Butchery Auckland. However, the cooking of the cuts can be inconsistent ( I have seen two medium rare eye fillets come brought out with absolutely different amounts of pink.
All in all, I would say that Harbourside is consistently good, but a few small problems stop me from calling it the best place in town.
A.
Always delicious. Fabulous food. Friendly staff. Book ahead of time so you can get a table by the window and enjoy the stunning views of Tauranga harbour.
I.
Wonderful food....The fence at the entrance is missing 3 panels, Very dangerous for children entering the restaurant
S.
Very nice scenic sea views and refreshing sea breezes. At night watching the fish swim past attracted by the lights Good food and friendly helpful service. Hidden Gem , tucked away down a side street from the centre of down town Tauranga.
S.
Highly recommend great food and excellent staff
A.
Good Food and the service was good.
K.
First time here and I was blown away by all the flavours and textures!!! Felt like I was on a Masterchef show. Incredible service and phenomanal food!!! Left with full tummies and big smiles
A.
We had a very relaxing dinner tonight. Our waitress Kelsey was superb. Very pleasant to talk to and helpful with what was on the menu. Will certainly go again.
r.
Fabulous food, fabulous views, great staff, reasonably priced, what more could you ask for
B.
Drove from Auckland to Tauranga, look up best restaurant, and harbourside showed up decided to give it a try , and our experience are better than excellent!! Wait staff friendly, food is very good we had the venison and sirloin from the grill and make sure you try the beer batter chips!! only down side is that me and my wife missed the sun set(our own fault). Will come back again or recommend to anyone wanted a good night out.
J.
Beautiful place and we're seated straight away. Partners food was really nice, my mussels were ok. Entree for two was pricy for amount we got. One Oster each?
C.
Great food as usual, wait person was gave excellent unobtrusive service. I will be back.
n.
Omg love this place best meal I've had in years! Service was amazing totally worth a visit

Party of 10. All al la Carte meals were delicious, beautifully plated and presented basically at same time. Highly recommend
G.
A great asset to Tauranga's dining scene - open 7 days so a reliable, quality choice in a great setting.
g.
Had a great meal! Ordered pan fried fish of the day with thai curry sauce. The sauce was thick and creamy and cooked to the right consistency. Turnip and potato cuts were tender soft.
D.
Meal was great and atmosphere was awesome only fault was the table service was lacking as we had our empty glasses and an empty water bottle sitting on edge off table hoping for service for quite some time.
S.
Super yum food.
Mixed customer service.
M.
Harbourside is a fantastic place to enjoy a Sunday lunch, even on a windy day for it has clear curtains around the terraced area that allow the sun to stream in make for a warm environment.
J.
Gorgeous lunch there today. Fabulous service, fabulous food, fabulous outlook
S.
Very nice scenic sea views and refreshing sea breezes. At night watching the fish swim past attracted by the lights Good food and friendly helpful service. Hidden Gem , tucked away down a side street from the centre of down town Tauranga.

Great food and the view is stunning as the sun goes down
K.
Have enjoyed many meals at the Harbourside Restaurant over many years but Saturday 4th January was terrible. I asked for my steak to be Medium to Well done and got a Rare -Medium. …
S.
Good food but the service could be refined. If I'm paying that kind of money I expect professional service. Our waiter was a nice person I'm sure, but seemed to think that we were there for his entertainment. I was also very surprised …
D.
Nice setting, great staff, however had a rump steak meal not impressed with what I received for the price
N.

J.
The weather wasn't that good, but the meal was. Delicious food with great staff service, made it the perfect occasion to have a lunch with some friends. Thanks
C.
The food itself and service is very good, although the menu itself is a bit on the conservative side, which is fine for what they're going for. Lovely setting and decor.
J.
Special Restaurant, Superb food and wine, range of coffees. Have taken guests there, wifes birthday etc always had a superb time, Very comfortable realxing decor and lighting. Staff are friendly and efficient, recommended by your local Google Guide for that special evening.

N.
Great restaurant. Took the family there and we all loved the food, view and service, so thank you for a lovely evening
G.
Very good food, but you do pay a premium for being 'harbourside'
P.
Four friends, ladies who lunch occasionally, had a special lunch at Harbourside today. Great food in a remarkable restaurant. Highly recommended.
R.
steak was tough and despite asking for medium, got a steak running with blood. What does a rare one look like?
T.
First time we went was great. Second time the fish and chips were swimming in oil. Salad was floppy and uninteresting. Very disappointing after waiting a year to get back there.
S.
I am a bit reluctant to write this review for the simple reason that i don't want everyone to know about the place. Tucked away WAYYY down the strand away from the maddening chaos of the myriad of other restaurants this is by far the best in Tauranga for food, service and atmosphere. Very highly recommended.
A.
What can I say? Food is superb equaled by the view, & the service. Old world maritime charm & seagulls nesting within arms reach.
C.
Beautiful lunch & service excellent & of course the view is great😎
A.
Great service, amazing views and the food is to die for. 20/10

We enjoyed the coconut & brocolinni salad with chicken.

Great food with beautiful view in the harbour. Tasty well prepared food. Quality of the food does cost a bit more but well worth it.

A beautiful lunch (I had the salmon), in enjoyable surroundings.
It got noisy as the lunch hour progressed making it hard to hear others at out table talk.
C.
Was my daughters 40th birthday so myself and 9 others came to share ths with her.. Food and presentation was great..service was good.(until the waitress seemedto be in a hurry even tho the restaurant wasnt even half full) and cleared our dinner napkins before giving us the dessert menu.After asking after the gelato (by 1 of the guests) had the dessert menu removed before a decision had been made..I made a remark of...we hadn't finished reading it..and it was slapped down in front of me...I had ordered a trim latte and when it came there was no "your coffee ma'am" but a shove at me...As I myself work in the hospitality industry and pride myself on customer service I felt this was both disrespectful and rude..Its my husbands and my 5th wedding anniversary in april and we were coming to Harbourside to celebrate it but am now Booking us somewere else..Thank you for the lovely meal...but NOT the sevice..sincerely Christine Ross-Wilson
E.
