Harbor House

Solid rooftop with good views of sunset. I came for a Grammys weekend sponsored event. Good space, large and seems very well suited to rent it out, or at least a portion for an event.

I like the open bar floor plan concept. Instead of the cheesy little lobby coffee shop, let’s open it up and provide counter seating, and compliment it with generous off lobby seating and a nice oasis of out door seating. The MealPal meal was a cross up, but looking to come back for more quiet time.

Great place for drinks. Even though its next to the freeway you never hear it. The service is good. There is plenty of space for big groups both indoors and outdoors.

This was a Dine LA lunch. The jalapeno hush puppies with remoulade were just plain good! I opted for the blackened salmon since I was just in the Big Easy and yes, you can get tired of gumbo. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The chef, Jahmal, came out to ask us about the food and we had a friendly chat with him. He assured me I would like the twinkie. Well I have never eaten a twinkie in my life, let alone a fried one. Boy have I been missing out! It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with a light caramel drizzle and a dollop of homemade ice cream. Yummmmmmy! The servers were nice, attentive and friendly. I highly recommend a visit.

Great outdoor patio space! The indoor portion is a little smaller. I didn't realize it was inside the commercial building instead of being it's own building but mostly easy to find. Good luck with parking.

Rooftop Jazz R&B was a great event if you're trying to catch a vibe or even feel the vibe.

I love it here. Great drinks and fast service. Nice selection of food choices - not a super broad menu but everything they make they make really well. It's a great atmosphere - a patio overlooking the 110. A great destination to meet friends and make new ones!!

I’ve been here about twice a month for the last six-to-eight. I’ve given them the good, old college try. The venue is good. Awesome, in fact. The service staff outside is very nice. The service at the bar is positively terrible, though. Not only does the staff behind the bar not know *anything* about the beers that they serve, they are more interested in their phones and flirting than providing good service. Examples: I just asked for my check and a glass of water at the same time. I was brought my check immediately, waited while the bartender checked her phone and texted (right in front of me), then got my water. I’ve asked for recommendations for beer based on the fact that I don’t like fruity beers. I was brought the most fruity beer I’ve ever had, while he said, “I think you’ll *really* like this one.” I watched once when a new employee shadowing an old one who asked of the other, “that’s an amber beer?” for a beer that looked like Bud Light in the glass. They walked outside with it, then I watched them return with it. The bartender said, “yes, that’s it.” He then smelled it, checked the taps, and realized he poured the wrong one, which was obvious by the color. Most concerning to the owners (great for me, though), is that I’ve never paid for what I’ve ordered. I just had four beers, 3 of them during happy hour, and my bill came to less than $9. While I’d like to think it’s my devilishly good looks, it’s not. It’s because the bartenders don’t know what they’re doing (or cheating the owners for better tips). But while I’m writing this, I realize that should keep my free beer secret to myself... The staff behind the bar has largely been the same since they’ve opened. I’m surprised they’ve lasted... They should definitely hire a secret shopping agency. I think they be surprised by what they find.

We held our first R&B Yoga class over the weekend here and had an absolute blast! The venue is very well-kept, spacious, and overall extremely inviting. As the photographer for R&B Yoga I made sure to capture many, many views of this place and all the beauty it has to offer. The bar has that indoor / outdoor feel to it so it felt so good to soak up a little sun while sipping my mimosa after. Street parking seems to be the only option around here. I could be wrong though.

Came here for a jazz and r&b event and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was amazing on the rooftop. I had an amazing time seeing old friends and celebrating with my wife for our 6 month wedding anniversary!! The drinks were popping and tasty. They took Apple Pay and cash. Parking was seamless too.

Solid rooftop with good views of sunset. I came for a Grammys weekend sponsored event. Good space, large and seems very well suited to rent it out, or at least a portion for an event.

Check out this spot for an event. The event was nice; the music was good.. The vibe was nice and the atmosphere was beautiful under the stars.

I visited this restaurant during lunch this Dine La event in 2020. I left work early hoping to enjoy a $15 lunch with three small courses. I ordered the French onion soup, bbq flatbread and a red ale. The music was great the view in the middle of the business center was easy on the eyes. I just stared out the door while sipping my beer imaging how crazy their summer rush is... Luckily, i was assisted by a fantastic host, Monique. Her energy was positive, approachable and she gave me what I asked for, a good beer! There was a huge table of nearby business men and women on lunch break laughing and getting the salmon! There was also a couple that ordered gumbo. Monique still helped us all with a smile, accuracy and humor. I will go back!

Dine LA! I love to take advantage of the DineLA week to check our all the restaurants that I haven't been to. This restaurant is located inside the 1000 Wilshire building, you'll need to pass the harbor cafe and walk all the way to the end of the building for the restaurant section. It's outdoor area, very nice area for half hour! So for $15, you'll get an appetizer and an entree. My choice: crab cake and braised short rib. The crab was good a bit salty but offset well with the little Veggies came with it. The braised short rib however was a bit too heavy for me. Overall, for $15 this is a good deal! I would however pick a lighter option next time

DINELA Lunch - 15 bucks a person DINELA kind of worth it, definitely not worth it if its regular prices. 1. Crab Cake - Normally like 11-13? You get 2 meatball size crab cakes. Tiny.. I thought they usually serve this one a little flatter. 2. Steak - Looks about 4.5 OZ. Ginger soy sauce was good :D normally like 15+ Its A-OK for DINELA, but I would not go for their regular prices when Oleego is directly across the street at a fraction of the price.

I came for DineLA and to take my assistant out to a well-deserved dinner out. This place is all the outdoor dining. I didn't get that from the DineLA description and the brief Yelp reviews I perused. But yes, it's all outside. It's in a big office building and you can park in the garage ($7 after 6) or street parking, which I lucked out on finding. They appear to be a bit under-staffed. We had a gentleman take our order but took a long time to get drinks and finally a young lady appeared to help. But she was being "directed" constantly by the manager. Including in front of her tables. We felt bad for her. She was doing a really good job. But she was constantly being... let's just say... "re-directed". When she approached a table her manager seemed to intervene. I understand that I'm a bit of a knee-jerk on the feminism issues but my assistant isn't. And we both felt uncomfortable with this. The food was just OK. We did the DineLa menu and we both started with the crab cakes... not outstanding and I had a piece of shell in mine. But OK. For mains we went with the gnocchi (her) and the scallops and risotto (me). I thought her gnocchi was beautiful but she thought it was way too doughy. She sent it back. Ordered the roasted chicken. My scallops were fine but the risotto was just really sticky rice - not risotto. Still not bad. They were out of the bread pudding option for dessert so we had to do the chocolate dessert. Which was fine - basically a dense brownie. I didn't love the atmosphere, the outdoor dining and the kind of weird vibe we got from what felt like a "boys rule" style of management. Not for me.

DineLA: Let's just go to Harbor House since they have a $15 lunch menu and crab cakes sound good! So for $15, my classmate ordered the lemongrass beef salad and the pan roasted salmon and I ordered the crab cakes and all natural flat iron. Pan Roasted Salmon. Salsify, summer squash and corn succotash, sugar snap peas, espellette, red chili, conserva, tumeric garlic cream. The salmon was a popular order from many guests, according to our waiter. It was very tender and moist. The turmeric garlic cream sauce was what made the dish! It was delicious with a spicy kick! All Natural Flat Iron. Garlic soy marinated steak, watercress, slow roasted tomato, charred petit onions, buttered rice, citrus chili garlic sauce. I was disappointed in the flat iron steak. I thought it would be in one huge piece instead of in smaller pieces on top of rice. Reminds me of a typical Asian dish. The chili garlic sauce that came with the dish (which I poured over the rice) reminds me of a Vietnamese dish.. Pros: -very friendly and hip service -majority of the restaurant is the outdoor patio. At night there are lights strung and the ambience is completely different! -nice bar area -located on a very visible corner. Part of a hotel -it's all about the outdoor patio Cons: -parking is so hard to find /food was just mediocre. Maybe they have better drinks Tip: We parked at FigAt7th because the parking rates there are most cheap! Just buy something at Target (inside the same plaza) to get validation and you get $1 for the first hour and $2.50 for the second hour. Then walk across the street. Easy! This is my new go-to parking spot in that area of DTLA now..

Got a few things from here for lunch. Sandwich stuff mostly. Its ok . Taste is fine, but for $13+. Throw in a side or something. Ive heard from others that the same dish when you eat in comes with a side so thats weird. Also had a few of the pre packed sandwiches in the cooler and they were ok not great probably wouldn't get again. Wanted to get a breakfast burrito but after adding chicken was almost$10. Ouch no thx. Need to try some dinner items one day. Had lunch on the patio and the food was good. Service was good, cost was normal for downtown restaurants.

Came here for the grammy event and it was really nice but the crowd was just a little too ratchet for me. It's a super cool building and the space itself is very beautiful though. Drinks and food were just whatever, nothing to write home about. I don't think I'd come here again just due to how the crazy the crowd was. Mostly hip hop music which is cool but wish they changed it up a bit too.

I stopped by Harbor House last Friday to meet a friend for happy hour. HH is on a terrace overlooking 7th Street. Reservations are welcome but I just walked in and was seated immediately. They have good happy hour deals on beer, wine, cocktails and bites. I had seen their Instagram so I was already eyeing their "1000 burger" and on happy hour, you get the burger, fries, side salad and a beer for $15! Such a great deal! The burger patty was thick, covered with melted cheddar cheese and their special sauce. It was good. Other items on their menu caught my attention, like the ceviche, so I'll definitely be returning to try more.

Beth and DeAmber @the harbor were AMAZING!!!! I came to celebrate my birthday for the Leo Birthday Brunch & then the Day Party!!! The food was tasty and very savory, they made sure I got my order while it was still hot!!! I will DEFINITELY be back for more FUN TIMES!!!!

We came for Dine LA 2019 and were pleasantly surprised after having read the reviews for Dine LA 2018! They must've listened because we had a pretty good experience! Harbor House is a restaurant located at the bottom patio of a corporate building. We were seated by Joey, a friendly host and got a choice of table with more or less sun. We came around 5:45pm so there were lots of workers leaving the building and passing through the restaurant throughout our time at Harbor House. There was a birthday celebration going on at the bar and there was a DJ. Not sure if the DJ is a normal thing on Friday nights, but we loved the tunes and it really elevated our dinner! The glasses are left on the table and I think they would really benefit by placing them upside down on napkins rather than cup up to collect dust or particles in the air. We got the beef sashimi and the lobster bisque. The toast was forgotten but we did get it after an inquiry. The bisque was okay. Seafoody tomatoey but it would've been really good with chunks of lobster. The beef sashimi had more sour and vinegar notes rather than soy sauce but I enjoyed that. For our entrees we got the scallops with risotto and the halibut. The scallops were seared nicely and had a tad bit more salt than I expected. Paired with the risotto, it was fine. The peas were undercooked but it added a nice crunch. I got tired of the risotto quickly, but the scallops were the highlight. My favorite dish overall was the halibut. It was perfectly cooked and I think the dish worked much more holistically with the roasted vegetables, gratin, garlic, and sauce. Definitely get this dish! We tried both of their desserts. They make them in house. The cheesecake has a nice caramel (?) layer between the bottom and the cream that made this the favored dessert. The tiramisu was just okay in our eyes. Too much cream and not enough espresso soaked ladyfingers. We were full by the end of the courses and had a good time! Thanks Dine LA and Harbor House!

This was not my first time here but this is definitely the worst. I have gotten the same order everything time, the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken ($13). I came with a couple of coworkers today and it looked like they split 2 normal sized chicken patties between all of us. Not sure if you could see it in the picture but they definitely cut the chicken patty after frying it. Every time besides this lunch, Harbor House has been bearable (pricey but somewhat filling). But this time I just need to get a second lunch. If you're looking for chicken sandwiches, chick fil a is just down the street. Save yourself some money and go somewhere else. Pickles they had were bomb tho. I never liked pickles anywhere else except for this place. 10/10 would recommend. If you're not here for the pickles don't come.

I was just here for an industry event with about 200 people. It was so comfortable inside and out. Now I believe the food was catered but it was outstanding. The ambiance on a beautiful night made it a memorable evening. If you are thinking of having an event here, you should. It was first class all the way. It's right off the fwy and parking in the building was easy. I can't wait to go back.

Wow! Came across this restaurant scrolling through DineLA's options- super happy I did. Upon walking in we were greeted by a gentleman who was very personable. Our server was great as well- I always ask for recommendations and she was great. We stuck to the DineLA menu and everything was super tasty. My boyfriend and I both got the seared beef sashimi, and my friend got the dates for our appetizers. The seared beef was delicious. My friend is a sucker for dates and she really enjoyed them. Next, we had the short ribs and 8oz steak. The spare ribs melted in our mouthes. My boyfriend had the steak. It was delish! I mean, you can't go wrong with yummy butter on top, right?! Lastly, we had our dessert. The boyfriend and I both had the cheesecake and my friend had the tiramisu. We weren't disappointed! Throughout our dinner, both Joey, the manager and our server checked on us. Joey definitely puts the IT in sh*t! He was AWESOME! He took time out of his busy night, say and had a quick chat! As the night went on it got a bit chilly and he was quick to bring us cozy blankets. Overall, this place was great! We will definitely be going back to try out the regular menu (everything sounded good) and to visit with Joey!

I decided to try because of their appetizing DineLA lunch menu! It was the best lunch I've had in a long time. I don't usually write reviews but the food, service and automosphere was absolutely superb. I started with the jalapeño hush puppies. The texture was perfect and the sauce was a perfect blend of creamy and spicy. Then, I had the jambalaya. Heavenly. It was so much food for lunch but I couldn't help myself. It had a great range of different meats. It came with corn bread that you can soak in the bowl. Easily the my favorite course. Lastly, they gave you a fried Twinkie for dessert. I was afraid at first but it was so good. I couldn't eat it all, which I felt bad. But it was a perfect couple bites of sweet to end the meal right. The servers and bartender were really friendly and felt genuine. I also loved the interior with all the white stone. I loved the bar that opened up onto the patio. It was really windy today but I loved the views of all big buildings all around. Thank you for an amazing lunch during a rough week.

Very conveniently located as it is just a block away from work. This, among other reasons, has made my coworkers and me regulars at Harbor House. + Excellent service, the management is very welcoming and waiters are super attentive. + Great happy hour deals-- including beer, white, red, rose, old fashioned, and mules. Food deals, too! Love the guac and flatbread. + Beautiful outdoor patio. DTLA rooftop with views of the 110 and downtown. + Lots of open seating - including couches/lounging areas for bigger parties outdoors. The indoor bar area has a bunch of tables and a TV to enjoy the game. + Very laid back, relaxing. Perfect place to wind down.

First off, the name, Harbor House must've been pulled out of someone's arse, because it's neither no where near a harbor and not a house. It is actually, in a corporate bank building and is located directly east of the 110 freeway. The very cool thing about HH is that it offers not only indoor seating, but is dominated by a huge amount of tables under umbrellas on a patio that overlooks parts of DTLA. Not only do they offer patio seating, but super comfy couches are available. This makes a great place to relax and unwind. However, because the couches don't necessarily go with that tables, eating can be a challenge. The couches are more for drinking and relaxing. TVs are located inside. And there are lights outside. I'm not sure if there is any music on the patio. I really hope there is. The food we ordered, burgers, chicken kale salad, chips and guacamole just to name a few were good. Service was also good. HH would be a great place for a hidden gem for Happy Hour.

Great outdoor seating eatery in downtown Los Angeles. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and to check out dineLA menu. We all decided on the crab cakes as the appetizer which wasn't too bad. The salmon dish was delicious! A nice 4 oz size with a side of summer squash. The Tumeric garlic chili sauce was just perfect! The flat iron steak was also tasty but if you have a big appetite, this dish is not enough. For dessert, we decided to order off their regular menu to try out their bread pudding. Not everyone makes it good but this wasn't too bad. It wasn't too soggy or dry. The caramel sauce with the a la mode and chocolate chip was just perfect.

joey is great. warm and attentive staff. This place is great. joey is literally the funniest person and will have you cackling all night. the views are AMAZING! Feels like you are at your family backyard bbq; familiar and welcoming! definitely will return.

Betting my money that this restaurant will be THE place for summer!!!! Outstanding patio area that overlooks the 110 freeway with great views of downtown buildings, and relatively close to FIGat7th. Beautiful table setting as well as couch lounge areas for bigger parties, potted trees extended throughout the court yard, open window bar, wooden tables with colorful chairs, and string lights distributed through the restaurant. I know, magical forest in downtown LA?! I absolutely fell in love with the interior and concept, especially the vibes and views I was getting. The biggest downfall is the parking and location since it's located in downtown, it might be difficult to find meter parking. They have valet parking on Francisco St but I'm not sure if it costs an arm and leg (I took Uber). Restaurant is located inside the Wedbush building and because it's an established business building, they're only open on business days Monday-Friday and not on the weekends. I'm emphasizing "business" because on their Yelp page it states they're open for dinner on the weekends but they're not, I tried and they were closed. As far as food, it's not the greatest. I noticed most of the dishes we ordered were too salty, our drinks tasted different every time even though we were ordering the same drink, and waitress service was mediocre. BUT, for the ambiance I'm coming again. I don't curr. Oh FYI it's not the cheapest place to grab drinks and food, for 2 people the bill was close to $100. Although we did order 4 drinks .. per drink is roughly around $12-$14. Try before summer ends!

Wow. I was really excited to try this place for DineLA and made reservations in advanced for 4 at 8pm for dinner. When we arrived the bartender told the host would be right with us. There was no host stand, and he breezed by to say he was extremely busy and would come back in 5 minutes despite a relatively empty restaurant (there were about 5 seated tables). We eventually were seated & told they did not have any heat lamps available, except they were sitting blatantly in view - just pushed off to the side. It was a chilly LA night, and the host dropped off menus and promised to bring blankets. We waited for about 20 minutes without anyone bringing water or blankets as other employees were clearing empty tables. Thirty minutes after our reservation, we had no water, no blankets, and pretty much no service. I've never been so disappointed by a dining experience in LA. It was so bad we decided to ditch the reservation and Ubered to another restaurant to eat. Despite the fact that we already parked underneath the building, but they do not validate so we paid for parking & didn't even get so much as a drink. On the plus side, they've got a gorgeous patio ambiance with a fire pit. Maybe come for happy hour, but once the sun goes down - they're not lighting any available heat lamps for you.

I came here with a friend because we wanted to check out the dineLA menu!! I had read some negative reviews on Yelp so I was a little concerned, but we had an amazing visit with good food and great service. We did not make a reservation but stopped by at 5:30 on a Wednesday, so they were able to seat us right away. We ordered the prix fixe through dineLA, which comes with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I ordered the foie gras toast, seared swordfish with tatsoi, potatoes, and shiitake, and the bread pudding. They were all delicious. The appetizer and the dessert were on the smaller side, but all together it was a filling meal and quite tasty! The servers were also very attentive and welcoming and brought our food promptly to us. The restaurant has a great patio view of DTLA, so dinner came with a lovely atmosphere.

We're tried out harbor house for the DineLA 2019 restaurant week. The restaurant had a large sign on the first floor that lead up to the building entrance. I was confused as the restaurant's entrance is also the office building entrance. And there was no sign at the door. We entered thru outdoor seating and bar/ building entrance. There wasn't anyone greeting us during lunch hour, I guess they are short staffed. As for the food, it was good value for the dineLA menu. The crab cake was a bit too salty for my taste, though they were delicious, nice and crunchy. For the entree, my husband had the Asian flared flair ahi tuna, cooked perfectly, well seasoned, however his vegetable were uninspiring and sadly, over cooked. I had the braised short rib, nice portion, tender and fall off the bone. Roasted root vegetable were delish. The only downside is the rib has very little flavor, not well marinaded at all. I had to ask 3 times for extra gravy as that's what flavor the rib. Without the gravy, the rib was bland. My food has gotten cold until the small amt of gravy arrived. The plates can use some updates. One of two appetizer plate was chipped, I figured it's no big deal. But then one of 2 entree plate has a bigger chip then the appetizer plate. We also have to ask for knife utensil besides the 1 given fork at the table. Upon the bill, I noticed a $1.50 extra charge for the gravy that I had to flag down 3 times. Needless to say, they didn't disclose the extra charge. Service was so so, waiter came by once to fill one of 2 glasses of water and ignore my glass. Overall, the food is delish. Service can be improved. Attention & quality control of diningware should be aware (good thing we didn't cut ourselves with the chipped plates.) And the heads up of the hidden extra charges would be nice. Apparently, they charge for any additional condiments includes dressing, sauces... accordingly to them, it's the cost of business. Seriously, how much sauce can you possibly eat? I would really give it 3.75 stars on the overall experience. It's not much of a restaurant, more like an upscale cafe. I would not go back for regular menu based on everything I mentioned above.

My friends and I tried Harbor House because of DineLA. We were greeted at first by Joey, who was incredibly welcoming! Our server was attentive. Their menu options are excellent! I had the dates (fabulous!) and my friends had the seared beef sashimi (also fabulous!). For the main course, I would definitely recommend the short ribs. They were seasoned beautifully and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The steak was also delish, with an herb butter melting on top of it. Throughout the meal, the server checked in on us a few times, but Joey went above-and-beyond to make sure our meal met our expectations. He brought out blankets when the evening air became cooler as the sun set. He chatted with us, but not so much as to make us uncomfortable. All in all, I would definitely recommend Harbor House! It was a terrific experience!

First time jazz event. I love the rooftop, the vibe is great grown and sexy I would definitely return

I loved the outdoor seating and the Happy Hour! I got two drinks and two servings chips and guac, spent $25 plus $5 tip. Regular prices seemed extremely reasonable for such an excellent location. If I worked nearby or were out showing someone around DTLA, I would definitely end the day at this place. On a sunny day the sun cuts brightly around the surrounding buildings, warming the place up a lot which is one of the things I notice most in downtown. There were large comfy sofas around, a family and a couple with a blanket. Bit windy in the evening so might recommend bringing a coat. I can imagine this place gets packed at night and on the weekends. Short staffed when I was there and it was not busy. Secluded, quiet ambiance during Happy Hour, probably the most risk-free time to visit. Also nice if you want to sit for a while. Idk about food based on other reviews, but for drinks there were no complaints, great service and nice view over the street below. Not a busy corner, so there's little road noise or people watching, but it does let you take in the city. Doesn't strike me as a gourmet food place, but a burger might be great here. Note that there's a non-obvious elevator on the corner for anyone who can't handle stairs... It's about 3-4 long flights.

We had lunch reservations at 12. We arrived a few minutes early and we were seated quickly because they are NOT busy. We ordered out food at 11:45pm. It consisted of 5 appetizers and 5 entrees. At 12:20pm we received ZERO service. One waitress came by and asked if we needed menus... What?! 5 mins later the original waitress came back and asked if we were a new group of people?! I couldn't believe my ears?! I told her, "No, our order went in 45 mins ago, and we received nothing. We are on a lunch break and we need to leave. You have 5 minutes to bring everything out!" Meanwhile, other tables that came in at the same time as us, have finished their food. Two minutes later my wife went in and told the waitstaff that we are leaving. Their reaction was very dismissive. Never coming here again.

Went here for Happy Hour on the 25th. Ordered my second drink (old fashioned) - the waiter said I didn't order it... with attitude. Confirmed with my group that I had ordered it. He didn't hear me. Who says that? Even as a joke? Additionally, he mistakenly called my friend's beer an "amber ale" - it was a blonde ale. Then he proceeded to say it was an amber blonde ale... same thing? Not. I guess I lost a lunch / Happy Hour spot near work. I hope that if you go here, you don't experience the rude customer service that I did.

Harbor house is great for jazz Monday nights! You can listen to some of the greats, not knowing they are here. Donations are accepted. Drinks are cheap. Crowd is quiet, often a few

The pros: Beautiful location, great clean place, and creative menu (some hits and misses but each appetizer had something unique and craving worthy) The cons: RUDE BARTENDER AND MANAGER. Couple servers went out of their way to help us (heater placement, allowing our party access to the entire patio etc). Let me explain the rudeness and you can decide. Stood at the bar for 3 minutes with 2 bartenders and 1 customer (I was the second customer) ZERO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Rude? Yes Finally I spoke up and asked about his scotch selection. He pointed and mumbled the brands. Asked him about them and he didn't know anything about them. RUDE? maybe... unknowledgable - YES. Asked about the wines... again with the mumbling... didn't know anything about them either. Rude? Naw... unknowledgable YES. Now to the manager....he was flirting with a girl that was trashed. She almost knocked over my glass. I kindly mentioned "oh I got it... almost knocked it off"....she gave me the StankEye and the manager said, "oh we'll get you a new one." Very kind but that was my personal glass (I just won at a company raffle) and he could NOT get me a new one. Perhaps he could stop flirting with her and get her an Uber/Lyft and be professional. RUDE? a little....Unprofessional - YES. My personal 2 cents...The manager and bartender were treating this like their personal hang out spot and were taking care of us at their convenience. Letting us know, we were interrupting them. This is a great venue and I hope they pull it together. I'd love to have a hidden gem in DTLA before the ClusterFuk (we call LA) overrun this place.

I came here recently for DineLA week, and had the best time! First and foremost, their service is impeccable and incredibly attentive. I really wish I remembered the manager's name - he was genuinely friendly, accommodating and an excellent conversationalist! For appetizers, my date and I had the duck confit toast (YUM!). As for the main dish, my date ordered the gnocchi while I had the steak. Both pleased our eyes and tummies. Did I mention their Happy Hour is also great? I'm a sucker for a good Cabernet, though I can't recall which one I had. I'll head back and refresh my memory.

Two stars is being generous for the atmosphere and the service that was provided for us on a Friday night at 7:45 PM. If you are looking for a place where drunk middle aged adults are able to dance, scream, and make a fool of themselves, then Harbor House is a dream! If you are trying to get seated for their restaurant, it is very difficult to get a table because there was no one to greet us. There was a DJ blasting music to the point where I could hear the music from my car, parked in the Fig&7th parking structure. Finally after walking around and probably looking like lost tourists, a gentleman approached us and sat us at a table outside. At this time there were many people at the bar (not eating food), one three top and one two top who were both finishing up their meals. It seemed like the restaurant was very understaffed with only one bartender, two servers, and one manager. Due to this, everyone seemed to be frazzled and running around like crazy. We ordered our appetizers (lobster bisque and beef sashimi), which were probably the best plates of the night. Since it is a rooftop, we got a little cold and asked our server (Taylor) if we could possibly move inside. After being informed that we could, we brought our waters inside and approached the bar, waiting to be seated. A gentleman was standing at the bar socializing with a group of people drinking and after about 5 minutes standing around, I asked if he worked at the restaurant. He said that he did and then proceeded to continue his conversation. Come to find out that this man was the chef (Ken). Another server (Tom) was pleasant enough to seat us at a booth away from the bar, where Ken was too into mingling to notice us. We then ordered our entrees (NY strip and scallop risotto), which both were far below our standards. The scallop risotto was surrounded by 700 peas and a bajillion leeks over a lukewarm sticky rice, instead of a risotto. The steak looked as if it was a piece of meat that a diner would serve. Whatever was supposed to be under the steak looked like a mix of mashed potatoes and polenta swimming in a pool of grease and butter (the bad kind, not the good kind). During our meal, we were greeted by flies flying around us constatnlty and a little spider falling from the ceiling. Who doesn't love bugs and insects while you dine?! The dessert portions were nonexistent. The only description that comes to mind is the saying from Zoolander, "What is this? A dessert for ants?!" The jelly provided for the cheesecake is the Smuckers strawberry jam you probably put on your toast for breakfast. Overall, I am just glad I was able to experience this below average meal during DineLA and not when I would have to pay full price. The only reason this place has two stars is because of Taylor and Tom, props to you guys!

I went with a large group of coworkers for dineLA. We had placed a reservation through Opentable but the poor waiter working lunch seemed to have no idea we were coming & had to put tables together to accommodate our party. AND move umbrellas. So kudos for him for doing that, although it took a bit for us to get our food. Beer selection is good with local options. Food was okay. The lemongrass beef salad is bland and had little flavor for something that should have punchy acid hitting you right in the mouth. The beef strips were overcooked and tough, besides tiny. The salmon was a lot better. It was cooked well & the succotash wasn't overdone either; no mush veggies, just enough bite. There was a bit of heat in the sauce too which was nice. For $15, I'm not pressed but it could have been MUCH better.

Such a great space...with such terrible service. What waste of potential. I've been here 3 times, thinking that the 3rd time would be a charm; I was so wrong. Don't make my mistake.

I'm going to chalk my rating up to growing pains since they are a new restaurant. They have so much to improve on. First I was drawn to this place seeing their patio space on Instagram. It is just as nice in person. Where we were put off at first was we asked to sit on one of the couch areas and were told it was for 5 or more people. Mind you the couches can fit at least ten people. The place was more than half empty and never got fuller as the night went on. The host sat as in a couch area away from everything really and we wish we would have sat where other people were. There were many couches that never even got used up. What he should have said I can sit you there but if large groups come in, we may have to move you. Being open only a few weeks you should accommodate every one to their requests. I doubt they will be super busy as they are on the very edge of downtown where there isn't much foot traffic. Next we ordered a couple of drinks and an appetizer off the happy hour menu. We ordered Moscow mules and the shrimp cocktail. The Moscow mule wasn't served in a copper cup and looked and tasted like there was grapefruit in them. Hey weren't ice cold either even though they had ice. The shrimp cocktail was so poorly presented. It looked like what you would serve a kid if they asked for fishsticks and ketchup. Just a few pieces of shrimp in a large bowl with a scoop of cocktail sauce next to it. If my phone camera wasn't broken I would have taken a pic. It did taste good though. Also it took about 15 minutes to get our drinks when they were nowhere near busy. Date asked for a recommendation of a light beer. Server wasn't familiar and said get fruitlands. It was more of a cider than a beer. We sent it back and were offered something else. They came back and said the keg is empty. They offered another and it was at least a light beer. We ordered dinner and neither one of us finished our food. It was bland and cold. We ordered fries with our food. Date asked for them to be well done and crispy on his order. They were the same as mine and both of our fries were cold. He got the blta and I got the 1000 burger. He didn't eat most of his and I only ate half of mine. It didn't taste like I was eating anything. I couldn't taste the meat or the cheese. He took a bite of mine and didn't want another. He thought his had too much of the aoili sauce. I didn't try his. I saw a couple other reviews saying their food was cold. It wasn't even cold outside it was hot so the only explanation is they aren't expediting fast enough or they are using fries from a bin and aren't making them fresh. Overall we didn't like our drinks or our food so we won't be back unless some major things change. I had high hopes for this place.

Poor service and poor food. Took my parents here on their last night in town on a whim since it had good reviews and it was on the DineLA list. I've never gone to a restaurant where the food has been inedible, especially a place that's on the DineLA list, I have no idea how this place got on DineLA, they must've bribed them or something. I was hoping the food would redeem the restaurant for the crappy service we received but wow the food tasted like prepackaged airplane food to put it nicely. First off, we had a reservation for DineLA. We went to the host table to find no host and no one greeting to help us. A waitress finally sees us and greets us, she mentioned how the host had gone missing? There was no table ready for us and nothing set up. It's like there was no need for a reservation or they completely forgot about it. We sit down inside and look over the menus. We received 2 for a table of 4. The fastest service of the night, the bartender comes over to take our order and asks if we're ready to order. I respond with no, we only have 2 menus that we're sharing as a little hint that we need more menus please and she simply walked away hardly acknowledging my comment. We finally order some drinks and our DineLA meals from her. With her constantly giving us attitude and not knowing about any of the dishes or drinks on the menu when we asked about recommendations. The service throughout the rest of the night was below average, from a pissy attitude to receiving the wrong drinks to receiving no water after we ask multiple times for it. Now for the food... the prepackaged airplane food. The DineLA menu sounded great for the price, the whole reason we came. Lobster Bisque: tasty but cold... because the service was so slow Lemon grass Beef Salad: 2 small pieces of salty beef Crab cakes: also salty but ok, nothing I'll remember and crave Duck confit toast: tasty but way too cheesy Scallops with Uni Cream Risotto: scallops were half decent. The risotto though was complete mush and inedible. Not hot either like it had been sitting out waiting to be served. No taste of uni either, honestly no taste of anything really. Probably the worst meal I've ever eaten. We ended up received a side of truffles gnocchi because of this which was super nice of them! The truffled gnocchi was super flavorful and hot, which didn't seem like a common theme here. Dry Aged Steak: Thin and tasted like cardboard. It also did not come out medium rare, but instead medium to well. Because of this they gave us a round of drinks on them which was super nice of them to do! Bread Butter Pudding: hard and not edible. Chocolate Decendence: Tasted like a hard chocolate brownie like it was frozen. All in all, this place is a hard pass. Honestly one of the worst meals and experiences I've had in my life. I'd avoid this place at all costs. Food was all inedible and needs to be taken up a huge notch. Service was terrible and I think they were incredibly understaffed and as a result, not in the greatest mood.

A new place that's only been open for less than a month! Harbor House is a new find not in your typical place - inside the Wedbush lobby area. The building is absolutely gorgeous and they market themselves as the best outdoor dining spaces in DTLA! I totally think it is one of the best places that's not super packed and definitely keeping on my list since I live right up the street. They have a great happy hour here and that's why I came here. They have $5 wines and $7 cocktails I believe. There are some nice bites too worth trying! I only had drinks here but the food menu looks great here too. I do like the outdoor patio space but it was a bit hot when I went so instead sat inside. The service was great and they did a good job with service and everything.

Came to this place last week around 9:30pm and everything was fine. The server was a little slow but nothing in unbearable. Came back again today... get seated around 8:50 pm. The waitress finally shows up around 9:15 and when we tried to order food she said that the kitchen was already closed... we told her that the previous week we had ordered food at 9:30 and her response was "ok". There were people in our party that got here early and where able to order food but their food took over 30 minutes and when it came out it was cold. Worst service ever... Update: there is people who showed up after us and somehow they are being served food

Came here last week and had a really nice experience, the service was excellent and drinks and food came out quickly--expected, since we were only 2 out of maybe 10 people dining. Tonight is the complete opposite experience. My friends ordered food over 45 mins before I arrived and their food came out cold, 15 mins after I arrived. Not only that, but when I tried to order food, the waitress rudely said the kitchen was closed. I tried to explain that I had dined here a week before and ordered at the same time, to no new response, not even an apology. Just a "yeah, the kitchen is closed." Sitting here posting and still haven't gotten my drink that I ordered 15 minutes ago. Mind you, there are literally 5 people here other than me and my friends. What kind of restaurant doesn't offer you a last chance to put in a food order before they close? Also, what kind of restaurant closes a kitchen an entire HOUR before their posted closing time???? Definitely bummed, as I was introducing all my friends to the restaurant for the first time and we will most likely not return. Bad service suits the uptight environment very well.

Amazing views, amazing food and great drinks! Joey did his best in accommodating me. He even brought out a blanket since it was cold! Great location and PERFECT for a summertime happy hour.

If you want to enjoy your experience here, come with low expectations. Mine were high and boy was I extremely disappointed! Came here for happy hour with a friend and asked if we could sit on the couches. The host tells us only groups of 5 or more can we seated there. In my mind, I'm like, "sure that's a bit of a let down but whatever". While sitting at our two person table, I see the same host go ahead and seat a party of 4 and 2(!!) in two separate couch areas. I was hoping more people were going to join these parties but in the hour+ I was there no one else did... Ordered old fashions which were good, albeit very sweet. When the second round of old fashions came the waitress apologized and informed us the bar ran out of oranges (it was before 7pm on the weekend...) I ordered the avocado toast with an egg and my buddy got the charcuterie, he nicely asked for no cheese. Avocado toast came with no egg and charcuterie board came with cheese. Luckily the server was quick to remove the plates when we told them the errors. Strangely, they only then was I asked how I'd like my egg cooked. I asked for poached and unfortunately this place only knows how to make scrambled or over easy eggs...so weird on so many levels. Happy hour menu had some glaring issues which is never a great look for a new place. One star is for the food as it was decent once they got the orders right, the other is for the look and feel of the place. I suggest trying this place out in a couple months once they've ironed out their issues. I sure hope it gets better as I was looking forward to frequenting this outdoor patio over the summer.

We came for a lunch with some coworkers and this place went beyond our expectations. The customer service is great, our server was very helpful and we seated on the patio... gorgeous place!!! Now for the important subject here the food. For an entree we ordered the mushroom entrance and it was very flavorful and light. I ordered the seasonal grain bowl a vegetarian dish that has different flavors because of the ingredients. For drinks we got the hibiscus tea... perfect amount of sweet, light and refreshing. Totally recommend this place if you are looking for a light and tasteful option

Came here for a networking event and got to try the avocado toast, fried shrimp tacos, burger sliders and the chatucerie plate! I checked the regular prices on the regular menu and would highly recommend the avocado toast (for the price)! It was just sooo flavorful. Very lightly seasoned but fresh and delicious! I don't know what bread they used but that stuff was ADDICTIVE. The shrimp tacos were also yummy but the shrimps were kind of small. The meats on the chatucerie didn't taste super fresh but I loved the crostini, which uses the same kind of bread as the avocado toast. Would also be helpful if this dish came with small knives to cut the cheese. Also wish they had some salty nuts to go with everything else on the plate! The outdoor space is just gorgeous. There are fire pits, couches, standing areas and a nice long table you can sit at if you are hosting a nice dinner. Fairy lights were strung around the area and they had outdoor heat lamps in case you get cold. Overall I'd say the space was extremely well thought out. There were other large groups there but they have enough space to spread their furniture out so it didn't feel noisy or crammed at all. Also surprisingly quiet given that it's not on some rooftop and it's in DTLA. Servers were also very attentive and sweet! I would recommend this place for social functions/ events or if you want to hang out and drink outdoors but not freeze to death.

Came here around 7:30pm with a group of girls for a birthday dinner. Our waiter Joey was incredible. Met our demands and made sure we were happy which we were extremely. He even offered us blankets! Definitely went above and beyond. Extremely great service, definitely recommend. I had the fish ceviche which tasted really fresh! Their guacamole is amazing as well. Drinks are good and strong!

We came here for happy hour last week and lunch yesterday. Happy hour: good service, drinks were okay. Ordered the chilled shrimp as an appetizer and besides the fact they weren't properly cleaned, they were otherwise good. Lunch: AVOID. Service started out great - seated immediately, briefly went over the menu, took drink order, and returned with drinks and to take food order. Then, we didn't see her again until we flagged her down for the check. No refills. No checking in. Nothing. A guy from the kitchen brought the food out and didn't ask if we needed anything. My friend ordered a salad which he ranked as "okay." I ordered the Nashville Chicken Sandwich with garlic fries and no - just no. The waitress said the sandwich came with a sauce that was "kind of like a sriracha aioli" - not sure if she knows what sriracha is, but it was closer to a tzatziki sauce. The cabbage slaw was kind of like wet cabbage - not much flavor. The brioche bun was thick and stale, and the chicken was super thin and flavorless. There were like 3 pieces of it, instead of one normal piece - similar to chicken nuggets. The fries were regular - not garlic - and had way too much salt for my taste, but my friend enjoyed them. There's a slight chance I'd return for happy hour, only since it's convenient to my job, but I will never return for lunch (or dinner). After such an unsatisfying experience yesterday, today we went to Howlin' Rays for a REAL Nashville Chicken sandwich. The Howlin' Rays sandwich is $2 cheaper, has flavor, and is worth any wait...I don't care how long their lines get!

***UPDATE*** They now have Jameson and plenty of it! Thanks Nino!!! The service outside has improved and we had an amazing server. I can't remember his name but he was well dressed and was very polite.
