    I went for brunch with friends on a Sunday morning. We got a view on the second floor of the harbor. We had avocado toast, eggs benedict, and loco moco. The food was good and fresh. For the price, it's a bargain nowadays and with a harbor view. It's got a 70's vibe but it's a great place to eat and have a drink. It's what I would call comfortable. The harbor is undergoing renovation so it will no longer exist coming summer 2025. I would recommend stopping at Harpoon Henry's. It's a place that you want to get a taste of days past in southern California harbors.

    We had an absolutely fantastic night at Harpoon Henry’s. The hostess and manager and servers were very accommodating to us with our service animals and Bella, our waitress, was exceptional. The food was delicious and fresh and hot and good.

    Three generations have come often to this wonderful restaurant over its 50 years to celebrate special moments in time and to just enjoy a great meal overlooking the harbor. In the 20plus years-never disappointed and always leave feeling great. Staff is warm and welcoming, Food always delicious and high quality. On this visit, Jude was an amazing server and we enjoyed talking about our experiences over the years. It was a special day and as always, we were not disappointed.

    It was nice. A little strange since the restaurant will be closing in the near future. Food was good, service was good.

    I made a reservation for 2 and we were seated on time. The restaurant was clean. The waitress came to the table in a reasonable amount of time to take out drink orders. I asked for a Blueberry Lemon drop and it was fantastic! The service was very good and so was the food. We will be back.

    As always the food, service & ambiance at Harpoon Henry’s is hard to beat and the bottomless mimosas are a serious value! Our server was attentive & our food was good. I had the chicken teriyaki sandwich which is piled high and a bit unwieldy but it was tasty.
