I ordered a fruit cup and a latte, and unfortunately it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had. The latte was probably the bitterest I’ve ever tried, and the watermelon in the fruit cup tasted like it had been sitting around for a week—it had already gone bad. On top of that, the service was not welcoming at all. Definitely won’t be coming back, even if it’s the only place around and I’m hungry.

**Customer Review: Harbor Reef Restaurant**

I recently visited Harbor Reef Restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The location right on the beach is perfect, and the view is amazing. They have a great selection of beers and food. We enjoyed the okie pokie nachos and fish and chips, which were both delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Year round fresh fish dinners are no longer offered on a daily basis. This policy has now been going on for three years. Catalina is an island where people come to fish, and yet there isn’t one offered on the menu. Why did you have to go to Avalon to get a fresh fish dinner. Harbor Reef used to have the best fresh fish on the island, yet when I was there no fresh fish offered. Why, what happened? Somethings fishy but not on my plate! Follow Up: We miss the days before the pandemic- Sea Bass, Baked, Mashed Potato or Rice Pilaf plus Vegetables . Choice of the Soup Of The Day or Dinner Salad and Fresh Bread. We couldn’t wait daily to see what was written on the chalk board. They had New York Steaks, too. On a positive note. Presently your old stand by “Yacht Club” is arguably #1 sandwich on the island. Thanks for reading again . No need to reply. See your in 2026. Two Harbors as a whole is great!

We came up for a late lunch and had the BEST time. Our server Caroline was very sweet and accommodating (we had a few special requests) the food was we had the Chaat-chos as an appetizer, but we dug in so fast, I didn’t get a picture. My husband had the black bean burger and I had the ahi tuna and my friend had the oke poke and it was all very fresh and tasty. Thanks again to Caroline for the exceptional service. We hope to come back soon and taste the rest of the menu.
I almost forgot to mention the fresh cut potato chips were also great

The fish and chips were surprisingly delicious. The Buffalo milk was over-hyped but the piña colada was actually pretty good. Wait time was quick even though the place was packed. The only thing they could improve on is the very wobbly tables that were dirty and replace the many burnt out lights. Solid place to go for expensive food though!

This restaurant is truly a blessing after hiking the trans-catalina trail from Little Harbor (4.5 miles almost all uphill) The food was pricey but not too expensive to enjoy this island restaurant. It was packed with a mixture of boaters and hikers with everyone chatting away about their adventures. I had the fish and chips and after the long hike, it really hit the spot. Cleaned the entire plate and will be coming back in late September when I complete the entire hike from Avalon to Two Harbors!!

Ambience is the word for it. The only way it could be better is if there was live music. The staff was amazingly friendly. The food was mediocre in general because after all it is an island but that was at the bar and for lunch. The dinners in the past have always been fabulous, but since I haven’t been back for 20 years since Lombard around the restaurant, I’m guessing I need to have dinner before I do an actual review, at which time I will revise this review.

The restaurant, saloon or grill are all great. The restaurant opens at 5pm for dinner. There is also an outside dining slot. The Sands. Overlooking the harbor. It’s all here and it’s the only place. So enjoy. Staff are happy. Food is good

Sitting here is a wonderful experience. It’s so beautiful and welcoming. I love that Two Harbors has become a fun destination, but still it’s small, uncrowded and quaint… at least not in the summer. Definitely recommend.
