This was our first time. From the delicious food to the amazing service this place is not one to pass up on!! Our server, Tammy was attentive, so friendly and made us laugh. When our meals were delivered it looked too beautiful to eat! Believe me when I say it tasted even better!! Definitely will be back!

My husband and I went here last night before going to see a show. They looked to be understaffed and completely slammed which ended up with us almost missing our show....but we didn't. Really polite staff all around though. The important part...the food was incredible. We live in PCB and are only in town once in awhile....that being said we will definitely be back. Some of the best food I've had anywhere in a long time. Super impressed.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Harbor Bistro, and it was an experience to remember! The atmosphere was delightful, especially with the sun setting in the backdrop while we enjoyed our meal on the patio. The combination of a charming setting and a relaxed vibe made for a perfect evening.The menu offered a fantastic selection, and everything we tried was exceptional. I ordered the short ribs, which were absolutely melt-in-your-mouth tender, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. However, I did encounter a snag when I informed our server about my celiac condition. She confirmed that the short ribs were safe, but when they arrived, they were topped with fried onions. Thankfully, the staff quickly made it right by bringing out a freshly prepared fish dish that was delicious. I did notice a piece of fried onion still sitting on the tomato as well, so I decided to avoid the tomato altogether.I also indulged in the lobster bisque, which was creamy and rich—definitely one of the best I’ve ever had! Adding to the ambiance was the live music, which provided a lovely background without being overpowering. It created a wonderful vibe that enhanced our dining experience.To top it all off, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed for a delightful evening.If you're looking for a memorable meal in a charming atmosphere, I highly recommend Harbor Bistro. I can’t wait to come back and savor more of their delicious offerings!

This place is delicious! We got chicken and lobster tacos along with the sweet potato fries, and everything was amazing. The service was outstanding, Tammy was our waitress and she was so sweet (and gave me great gluten free recommendations). If you’re in the area definitely give it a try for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

A welcome addition to downtown Venice in a cute spot with plenty of outdoor seating. Outstanding dishes with Chefy/Culinary ingredients, taste and presentation. We enjoyed the Grilled Pear Salad which included extremely fresh burrata and excellent quality prosciutto - the watermelon salad with berries and a young mild feta - the perfectly sautéed shrimp tacos on boa buns - and deliciously seasoned tender chicken with lettuce wraps - can't wait to return for brunch as well as dinner!

Fairly new restaurant. They offer brunch! Bar and live music most nights. Great prices, large portions. Super friendly wait staff. Nice outdoor atmosphere.

Excellent experience. The servers were friendly and helpful. We ate outside and had a lovely brunch. The eggs Benedict were perfectly prepared and my husband loved the pancakes. It is just a few steps off the main strip. Highly recommend!
