Harbour Fish Restaurant - Seafood restaurant in Mamaroneck - 576 Mamaroneck Ave, USA

I’ve been a loyal customer of this establishment since it was a tiny little store on the avenue, so it hurts me to say this. But after receiving some bad raw clams last time, I let it slide. This time I received a lobster roll with more apple slices than lobster. If it’s that small, no problem…but you got some freaking nerve charging $36.50 for that. Maybe it’s my fault for ordering delivery, but the discrepancy shouldn’t be that much. They have a lost a regular, and one of their few ones.

Craving Oysters and just picked this place on a whim to try when I googled fresh oysters. Drove by it a million times and never noticed since it’s not on the busy Mamaroneck strip. It actually has additional parking in back. I would call this a hidden gem because you can easily overlook it due to the location and lack of curb presence. We had the Prix Fixe menu which was quite good value for three courses. Oysters were great. We finished it too quickly before I remembered to take pictures. My Snapper was fantastic. The Branzino was very good but should have ordered the whole fish rather than fillet. The rum cake was delicious and reminded me of Tres Leche instead of the Caribbean variety. Cheesecake was excellent and better than the key lime. The latter a bit too sweet where as we preferred a sharper lime taste. They brought us the wrong one so we got to try both. There is a Latin flavor to the dishes and not your typical southern deep fried seafood shack. It’s clean and pleasant but a bit of thoughtful decorations might give it more atmosphere. The owners can either try more festive or more romantic. Not sure which way I would go. The food and service are definitely excellent. Will come back again.

Went here with the family not really sure what to expect but it turned out wonderful and delicious. Food was hot and tasty with ample portions. Prices seemed a little high but the quality and portion size justified it. We will definitely go back and I would highly recommend it being a chef myself.

We chose Harbor Fish during restaurant week as we love seafood. What a mistake. The restaurant had no plan- was it casual, fancy? It looked like a take out “joint”. Prices were hefty, they went with the $44.95 price fixe yet definitely not a high end place. Uncomfortable chairs, bare tables- no table cloth or placemats. I can tell a restaurant by the bread and this was 4 small slices of store bought Italian bread served on a plate with pats of butter for 4 people. Our waitress explained ,when asked, that it was her first day and she wasn’t familiar with the items on the menu. She was sweet but looked as if she was going to work in a cocktail lounge. They needed to decide what it wanted to be before attempting such a diverse menu. Two pictures, hung way to high and a metal sculpture stuck on the wall isn’t enough. When we sat down the busboy or was he a waiter, started lowering the lights. We explained we really wanted more light and this was not a restaurant that needed low lights. Oh my goodness! And the food! 3 orders of fried calamari that tasted like cheap frozen food from a discount box store. Definitely not “real” calamari. Looked like onion rings and were cold. Waitress took them back for what appeared to be a microwave zap. Paella tasted like boxed rice with some tomato sauce added. Clams and mussels tasted fresh. Two of us had paella and 2 had the shrimp in lobster sauce. Unfortunately, the pasta was cold and oily. And the paella may have been called that but nothing else was similar to the dish. We were all looking forward to the key lime pie for dessert only to find out they had none. Hard to believe they ever had any that night as we were only one of two tables at 7 P.M. The banana flan was inedible and we were people who knew flan. It was store bought cheesecake. Ok, maybe a good cup of coffee- only to find out they only had regular and espresso - no decaf. It took the new waitress several minutes to find that out. Some advice to 2 week old restaurant - have someone who cares about the restaurant there during its first two weeks of being open to greet the guests and make them /us connect. Have someone other than a waitress on her first day (and she walked in with us at 7 P.M. ) and a helper who only spoke Spanish (as we did) running the house. As we’ve long been told “ you only have one chance at a first impression”. Unfortunately this was not a good one. And oh what an assortment of fabulous options there were on the restaurant week selections. 😟 😟

We’re really not picky but it seems to have gone through some changes recently with drastic consequences. Pretty bad experience today with mains taking 1.5 hours to arrive and out of sort. Front of the house (single waiter but trained more as a bus boy) missed a lot of the basics: knowing the menu, confusing suggestions, not setting expectations, refilling water, missing/wrong orders. Back of the house staff (single cook?) seemed to be unapologetically overwhelmed, unfriendly. Tipped normally as it seems like an ownership/management issue.

Small local spot with very friendly staff. However, the food did not quite satisfy my craving. I found the crab cake not to be the most attractive in looks and taste but I will be back to try the lobster roll.

First time trying this place, pictures looked amazing, food LOOKED AMAZING. ZERO TASTE, zero flavor. First off, ordered a side of spaghetti which was $15!!! Noodles were covered in butter water, cup of sauce tasted canned with a splash of someone’s cologne. Ordered salmon, again, looked beautiful, missing lemon, salt, a dash of any seasoning. Never in my life had a fried shrimp that tasted like nothing, it didn’t even taste like oil! And to top it off, food was cold. And no, we did not pick it up late, we got there and still had to wait for the food.

Fantastic Seafood restaurant on Mamaroneck Ave. The Branzino was flavorful, calamari was tasty, paella was a solid choice. Would definitely eat here again!
