Harbour At Canal Square - Lewes

We went to Harbour for our anniversary dinner and we beyond thrilled with our choice! We sat on their deck and loved the ambiance. The hostess was so sweet and came around to check on us and offered us blankets to keep us warm as the sun went down. We tried several of their handcrafted cocktails, all of which were delicious! We indulged in steamed clams as well as their crab and lobster beignets on their special menu- so yummy! The broth of the clams was so good we were eating spoonfuls of it on its own. We had the seared duck breast and lobster tail with crab cake, another special, and we devoured those. The duck was perfectly cooked and so flavorful! And we definitely weren't let down by the lobster tail! To end the enjoyment we had the fruit potpourri pie and coconut creme cake... the pie was amazing and didn't last very long on the plate. We had such a great experience from start to finish that we will always look fondly back on that year of our anniversary celebrations because it was an unforgettable meal!!

We had dinner at Harbour Saturday night. I Had the daily special of flounder stuffed with crabmeat. The flounder had so many bones it was difficult to eat. I could not finish it. I quietly told the waitress and she said that she would tell the chef. She did not seem fazed or care that the dinner was unfinished. I will not be returning. there are better restaurants in town.

This is place is so Lewes! The food, the vibe, the amazing service, the view of the harbour is such a reflection of this beautiful historic town. We came with a large group on a rainy evening and no reservations. I was certain that we wouldn't be seated for all of the above reasons but we were seated shortly with that gorgeous view of the harbour. Our server, Kim, was amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu pleasantly patient with our many questions. Kim was great! We started w a mango burrata w balsamic glaze simple but amazing w the flavours really complimenting each other. I ordered the Special Lobster tail w a potato gratin perfectly sautéed green beans. The lobster was perfectly cooked. Tender sweet as it should be! It was devoured! The only sad part is they were out the coconut cake for the night. This is only a reason to go back to this fantastic restaurant!

A great location. A shame about the management, they are so odd. Went in at 5:00 and they made some sort of big deal about eating at the bar even though there was no one in there. They had to check for availability. I was at the hostess stand and the people in front of me wanted to go to the bar before their reservation for a table at 5:30, she has to go look even though as I said, the bar was empty except for my friend waiting for me. I followed them into the bar and the hostess got all indignant about it, made me feel like I was a little kid being bad at school. She does let me sit down and we had dinner but the two bartenders were aloof. The guy was the worst. I had to ask for sugar for my iced tea, flag them down which wasn't easy, they didn't seem to want to look our way. My friend's drink was empty for quite a while, neither bartender asked her if she wanted another. My friend finally flagged the girl down and asked for one. There were more patrons outside that the bartenders were taking care of but they had zero hustle and zero personality. Strangely, the waiters that brought our food were very attentive and friendly. I don't even remember the food, it must have been good but was overshadowed by the weird vibe.

With two full days in Lewes, I wanted to make sure we ate in the best restaurants. And we did! Harbour was top of the list and with its riverfront deck and diverse menu it was just great. First there was Henry, the maitre'd with the most welcoming manner who set the tone for our evening. Just loved him! We sat out on their waterfront deck at sunset, watching boats go by as the sky changed color. From the cocktails to the entree (perfectly prepared tuna for me, a delicious vegetarian dish for my friend) to dessert, it was the perfect dinner. Harbour gets five stars in my book!
