We had a party of 17 and they were able to accommodate no problem. Service was great, food was tasty, and it was fast considering the amount of people on our reservation! Highly recommend. This place is a hidden gem. We will be back!

@theharbourdiner FANTASTIC EVENING ❤️ I had oysters , lobster and crab ? Alfredo and @melissabardy had 4 cheese tortellini and both dishes were absolutely delicious ?. But the really great thing was the atmosphere, it was dinner at your family’s house. Everyone were complete strangers yet they all laughed together, ate together, drank together and had a completely relaxing positive time. Justin and his wife made everyone feel like a brother or sister and that is an atmosphere that is irreplaceable. Delicious food , great laughs, great night ❤️ thank you Harbour Diner ❤️ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ! The food is sooooo delicious! Kelly our server was really nice and extremely professional, Justin was a happy smiling person who was very obviously proud of his food and his staff. This was probably the BEST experience we’ve had in the food world for a while . My Prime Rib Benedict was really really flavourful and delicious, Melissa’s Harbour Breakfast was also wonderful and her apple tea was excellent. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we had today !

We chose this restaurant after not being able to go to the original one. What a great decision! This was on my list of places to go eat so it worked out. Our service was above average, the food was as well. They accommodated our table very well, made us feel at home and treated us very very well. Thank you so much Justin and kitchen staff.. you absolutely hit the ball out of the park!

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and I found it very clean. Food we ate was overall very good a few minor things we didn't love but it would come down to personal preference not a restaurant issue.So here's the issue and I can not get over it the server was not wearing shoes. I've been a bartender and a server for 15 years and not even one time have I seen someone's toes while working and it's definitely not something I enjoy seeing while dining. It's something I noticed immediately when being greeted and something I couldn't unsee.Please wear shoes if not only for your own safety for all of us dining that don't need to see your sweaty bare feet in a pair of slides.Response to owner....Since I can not find a correct way to respond to "the owner" I am not bullying. Maybe my choice of words could have been better but the fact still stands he should be wearing shoes. Glad he shows up to work ready daily but I am sure the health board would agree with me. You don't wear slides and serve food there is a huge list of reasons why you shouldn't as well as for his own safety.Parking: There was plenty of street parking out front when we visited

I had a great experience at the Harbour Diner. The customer service was incredible- I had to call to change the reservation multiple times to have more friends, and they were so good and accommodating. The Staff was so kind and the food was incredible as well. We enjoyed our time!

Googled best place for lunch in Hamilton, highly recommended, great reviews. Arrange with my brother to meet for lunch. Showed up and found a hand made note on door “Sorry closed for daughters birthday “ I checked the web site, no notification. No way to run a business. Everything may be great, I’ll never know.
