    Our waiter Mark was fabulous! I’m just so very sad that they will be closing in a few months! The old quaint Dana Point harbor will be gone. 😢 As a local, it’s sad! We will miss Harpoon a Henry’s!

    The filet & coconut shrimp and the seafood combination (scallops, macadamia mahi-mahi, coconut shrimp) were both excellent and perfect if you can't make up your mind!

    The ambience is nice. Old school in a good way. But the food was almost inedible. Used to be good. Waitress was nice.

    The restaurant had lovely views over the marina and the staff were very helpful. Our waiter, Michael, was really good. The food was great. We had the California Halibut and the Hawaian chicken. Both were delicious. Another restaurant to add to our list of restaurants to return to when in the area.

    On a winter's Friday evening, the lounge was crowded but at 5pm we easily got a great dining room booth with an amazing sunset view. Food and cocktails aren't fancy, but solidly very good throughout the menu. The petite filet (with coconut shrimp) was the most tender my wife has ever had! The Hawaiian Martini is excellent!
