    Pan-Seared Salmon
    Heidi L.

    Very flavorful dinner at the hotel. My favorite was the grilled cheese with soup. Cobb salad was good, but maybe I should've gone with the chicken instead of the steak. The steak was a bit salty for my taste. My family really enjoyed all the dishes.

    When reading the reviews from other Yelpers, it appears the Harbor Bar & Bistro restaurant that this is located in used to be the Crowne Plaza Hotel, but it is now Sonesta. It's located right across the lobby and the main entrance from the parking valet. My husband and I decided to kill some time here before attending a wedding. We ordered a beer for him and a mojito for me. The bartender/server working that day was super friendly and attentive. He even asked us if we wanted any snacks to munch on while we drank and he brought out a glass cup filled with Gardetto's. We eventually ordered an appetizer of pita bread and hummus and I thought it was pretty good. It was fresh and it also came with carrots and celery to dip in the hummus. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Wonderful togo experience here couple nights ago! Rick the server was very nice and the food was juicy and delicious. Evacuated from home and staying at the Crowne Plaza hotel which this restaurant is in and was looking for an easy option to feed me and my toddler. This is during the wildfire+pandemic time, so eating outside was too smoky, and dining in was not available, making pick up the only option. Comparing options with nearby places that are still operating like Cheesecake Factory, it wasn't more expensive or anything so we gave it a shot, despite lack of recent reviews. The restaurant is open format with lots of variety of seatings inside and outside so social distancing was not a problem while waiting. They seem to be offering to go and patio dining as of 9/2020. I took a bite into the potato and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. Proceeded to taste everything else and all was impressively juicy, buttery, and done just right. My picky toddler ate almost all of the salmon and I was happy. It's so hard to find good food he would accept all day away from home... The quesadilla was crispy and full of flavor as well, and had a little kick to it. My baby seemed to enjoy this one too! Another night of survival out in the pandemic world - a success, thanks to the small staff at Harbor restaurant.

    It is the bar inside of the crown plaza hotel. The bar validates parking for up to 3hrs. Similar for valet I think....

    This place is absolutely wonderful and a great spot for a date. We went here to celebrate a…read morebirthday and were not disappointed with the decision. The food was outstanding. You can tell the chefs are dedicated to the craft. They're a 2025 bib gourmand restaurant and are hoping to aim for their first star, so their efforts into the decor, ambiance, and food shows (good luck!). The waitstaff/chefs were also very attentive. Mussels Tart - really delicious. Super unique and beautifully plated. No taste of fishiness or the ocean. Just overall a 5/5 dish that you must try. Beef tongue - I normally enjoy beef tongue thinly sliced at a Korean BBQ restaurant or coarsely chopped up in a street taco. They do it differently here. The beef tongue is one big cube. It's very flavorful and tender. Not as amazing as the mussels tart but still worth a try. Chili crab - this put them on the map. SUPER DELICIOUS. It's not what you'd expect from a creation called 'chili crab'. There's no shell to be seen and the crab meat is actually buried underneath. Scoop from the inside out. Tons of flavor and I wished the portion size was doubled. Lamb pappardelle - if you like lamb then you'll love this. Lots of different spices and flavors. It has a very deep flavor profile that makes you appreciate all the work and thought that went into designing this dish. I'd get this again also! Strawberry tiramisu - they brought this out for the birthday celebration. They prepared it in a gigantic bowl. Scooped out a generous portion and plated it right in front of us. I have a soft spot for tiramisu so I'd recommend this too. Best of luck on the Michelin star! I'd come back. 5/5

    This place deserves the love. There is a lot to like. They do a lot of things well…read more Shout out to the team for accommodating us for an indoor tasting menu when we showed for our reservation. Resy wasn't as clear and we had booked a veranda table, which is ALC and not tasting at all. The joys of having an early reservation closer to opening. Though they said that they would need the table back by 7:15PM, at some point, this was no longer a thing...more on that later. Dinner was great. The food is thoughtful and fun. It reminded me a lot of Jeune et Jolie in Carlsbad, but more ambitious. The plating was beautiful. When the courses came to the table, you there was an element of excitement because we had a clear view of the pass and had an idea of what was coming our way. Service was tremendous. We wanted for nothing. The dishes here are presented simultaneously with graceful fanfare. Everything was effortless and warm...very much like Jeune et Jolie. The somm program here is also terrific. Really loved the wine pairings. The wines were fun and did their job to enhance the plates. Highlights: banana Negroni, clam shashlik, tomato, fish en brodo, rice & honey We had a fun evening. The experience is great. There is room for improvement. Pacing was a little out of control. We were here for 4 hours for 10 courses. They're pretty ambitious trying to push all of this out and turn the table twice during service...this clearly did not happen the night we were there. There were long lulls between courses, but our group was full of longtime friends and we had plenty to talk about and the somm team refilled our wine glasses. A few times we noticed the time in between, but it didn't impact our experience much. There is so much potential here. You know they are trying for a star. The Bib on the shelf isn't enough. If they can work on the timing bit, I think they are well on their way. Maybe also be a little more discerning and not reusing elements in the meal...a couple of times I heard reuse of significant components, but I can understand the need for a low waste kitchen. I'd be happy to revisit once the timing issue is corrected. We have to give them some time to work on this as they recently converted to tasting menu.

Not only does he make drinks that taste like they were crafted by a cocktail wizard, but they also somehow double as a therapist, comedian, and professional hype person... all at the same time.

Out of the items we ordered, the pizza and rustic salad were the standouts. The spicy Korean wings were better than the buffalo and the other items were decent, Seating was pretty quick and the service quick. The environment was chill and relaxed and it was nice to be seated in the back area, away from the hustle and bustle. If you're looking for a hangout place after work, this would be a nice happy hour spot. A downside is that with the restaurant being two floors, it's not stroller/ kid friendly. We had to park our stroller downstairs and lug all our stuff upstairs.
