I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harbour Bistro, and I must say, the food was excellent! I opted for the Chicken Arizona, and it was a true delight – flavorful and cooked to perfection. The overall dining experience was great, but I did notice a couple of hiccups. While the majority of the menu items were delightful, I must caution you about a few dishes that may be overly sweet or sickly. It's best to inquire with the server if you have any concerns about sweetness levels before ordering. One dish that didn't quite meet my expectations was the Cheese Fondue Onion Rings. Don't get me wrong; they were tasty, but they were surprisingly doughy, almost cake-like in texture. It was an unexpected twist that didn't quite work for me. However, despite these minor flaws, I can't ignore the fact that the food, in general, was top-notch. The Chicken Arizona and other dishes we tried were delicious, and the flavors were well-balanced.

My wife and I met Ryan when trying to decide on a place to eat on our night in Portrush. We were standing at the bottom of the Ramone tower... He brought us right up where he pulled menus for us and told us he worked down at the Harbor Bistro. We looked at the menus, but said we'd follow him after perusing menus. We followed him to the restaurant (in the rain). He promptly sat us one we walked through the door. The servers and staff were amazing and the food was unbelievably tasty. I've never had a seafood meal that tasted like the Thermadore- It was creamy and smooth with an exceptionally rich flavor. I am very thankful to have met Ryan and followed him here. I will definitely plan this as a stop on my next Ireland visit when we bring our children, hopefully in a few years. We had the Cheese Fondue, Filet, Thermador, and a chocolate brownie cheesecake to finish us off... Everything was great. Cheers, Ryan and the staff at the Harbour Bistro.

I'm glad to return to the Harbour bar yet again. The guinness is one of the best I've had. Food is really good and a great atmosphere 👌

The battered cod was very greasy and tasted bitter and burned. It's likely that the oil it was cooked in was not changed in a while. The only decent thing was the fries... No one asked of allergies or came to us once we started eating to ask if everything was ok. Should have gone somewhere else but we'll know better next time.

Great Bistro, a very detailed Menu that had something for everyone. Three of us opted for steak and the fourth ordered cid and chips. All dishes served by very pleasant staff, in particular Nicola, who checked we had everything we asked for. Highly recommend this Bistro.

Wow, this place has fallen far. It’s not the same as it used to be.The bone-in filet was missing the bone and was way over cooked. It looked baked and not grilled. The seasonal vegetables were very soggy and flavorless. The onion rings weren’t half bad, although the server dropped one that hit my wife’s leg and a replacement or apology was never offered. Speaking of the wife, she described her salad as “slimy.” They couldn’t even get the drinks right. Different flavors and sizes were brought each time. They did offer to recook the filet but with the quality as poor as it was we opted to just leave.
