This was the perfect antidote to a cold January in Pittsburgh! The drinks were deliciously tropical and the food fresh and tasty! Toss in a tiki theme and it was easy to forget the snow outside.

bartenders were some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable sons and daughters of guns i’ve come to enjoy in my times of tiki tending. food was well portioned and delicious, drinks were well thought out and the menu design was probably one of my favorite parts of the experience. well-lit and a very clean space, very lucky to have gotten some seats on a walk-in over the summer. drinks were coming out consistent, bartenders were on-display in this tiny bar but were absolutely the stars of the show. Mahalo HH!

A gem of a restaurant. I appreciate their directness on length of reservations and our server was stellar. We loved the “Over the Reef” and the arancini, pork sandwich, and chicken banh mi. It’s rare to have great drinks/ food, cozy ambiance, and spectacular service— Hidden Harbor achieves all three. Can’t wait to return

Went to Hidden Harbor just for drinks. The atmosphere and vibes are 10/10! Love the dark island vibes with blue lights, great ambiance. I like that the drink menu shows which glass your drink is coming out in, and how strong it tastes by number of fins. Since most drinks are $16, was just the kind of place we went for one. If you’re a rum connoisseur, they have an incredible number of rums available. Still need To go back for the food!

Awesome experience overall. It was packed so reservations are a must if you want a table. I thought the Ishmael and Liam's off-menu special (in the skull) were phenomenal. The Sidewinder's Fang was also very tasty but the other two had more unique flavors. And I could've eaten a dozen more of the Coconut Chicken Dumplings. My only critique is that it wasn't a fully immersive tiki bar - I like to feel that escape from the real world. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Modern tiki vibe and perfectly crafted cocktails at Hidden Harbor. All the staff are amazingly attentive, even at their busiest. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Update- 2.22.25 The 9th anniversary party, did not disappoint 🔥Adam & the gang are at the top of their game. Go see their brand new tiki carving by Crazy AL!!

Had the T punch service as well as a jet pilot, masterful tiki game, largest selection of rhum agricole I've ever seen, food's good to be sure - loved the fish tacos, but the rum access makes this worthy of a road trip

I saw this place on a friend's post and had to try for myself! Excellent decision - the drinks were fun and the atmosphere elevated the whole experience. It's not cheap, but the place delivers for what you pay. Did not try any food so can't comment on that, but definitely a spot to visit if you like fancy cocktails with creative visuals.

Just stopped in for cocktails, service was good and the drinks were delicious. Honestly had a good time until I was paying the tab, and automatic gratuity of 20% had been added, but I didn't realize and tried to tip an additional 20%. I think this is very unconventional for a party of two, I would have loved to be able to choose my tip, and the fact that this wasn't communicated ahead of time feels a little sketchy... it made me feel like I was being taken advantage of

We made reservations for a table for four for drinks on a Thursday night in December at 7:15pm and had no issues making the reservation. The inside is super adorable and subtly decorated for the holidays. There is a bar area and quite a few tables. A friend and I both had birthdays in December and they were super nice and gave us a free birthday drink each. I always enjoy their tiki drinks that are in fun glasses.

Easily my favorite place in Pittsburgh to grab a cocktail. If the name isn't a giveaway... I'll tell ya their drinks are tiki themed. These island drinks can make you feel like you're in the beach even as you sit in the cold winters of Pittsburgh. Good luck trying not order every drink on the menu... and if you do you won't be able to do it in one seating because they have some strong ones! My two personal favorite drinks are the rum king (may be strongest in the menu) and the champions mai tai (may be one of the most expensive individual drinks). If you want a show the zombie drink comes out on Service has been solid whenever I go. Even food has been good.

Really can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! Visited for the first time a few years ago; it's about 6 hours away from home. Not just a great place to get a tiki drink, but the food is very good as well. They have a lot of options that can be turned vegetarian but not in a lame way where you want to switch out the chicken on a burrito and the only option is to put no chicken. They do great things with tofu if you catch my drift. If you're into Christmas bars definitely recommend visiting during that time, even if it's 6 hours away. No regrets. The decor is immersive, and tiki aficionados will definitely love it. If you're not a tiki aficionado, this will convert you.

Love this place, can't believe I've never left a review. All of their drinks are delicious and match the listed strength levels listed on the menu. Most recently, I got the Ishmael partially for that cute little mug, and the S'more Tart (pretty dry and crumbly, but I'm not holding that against them).

Madi N.

Yelp
Fun themed cocktails--for a hefty price tag. Love the drinks though and a cool place to stop for a date or catching up. Didn't get food when we went but liked the inside and the place itself. Service was good and timely. Would recommend!

Corinne K.

Yelp
Loved it again. It was so expensive though!! Our table got a total of 3 drinks and 2 apps and it was over $125 with tip :/ The painkiller was the best of all the drinks I've tried here. Will continue to crave this place

Lauren G.

Yelp
The best place to go for tiki drinks! The entrance may seem unassuming, but step inside to the cutest tiki bar, complete with the best drink presentation you'll find. They use primarily local distilleries for their products, & prices are fair! We sat at the bar and were quickly served, plus the bartender was helpful with our questions about different drinks.

Best Tiki Cocktails in Pittsburgh! Such an amazing selection of rums and the drink list never disappoints

Had a great time at Hidden Harbor last week. The bartenders and staff could not be kinder, drinks were superb, the music and atmosphere was top notch tiki! Pretty expansive menu and a lot to choose from. I loved how they had hooks under the bar for your coat, it was rainy that night so hanging up my jacket was so nice. We ordered 1 of the rum king at the recommendation of the bartender. Good but SO strong, there's a reason why they only limit 1 per guest, only order if you don't like sweet drinks. Also got the pair o' sails, fog cutter, and luck of Lono. I liked pair o'sails the best since I prefer sweeter cocktails but all were great. Definitely want to stop by again to try their time travel tuesday menu! The bartender was telling me that during this time they have a special 15 drink menu of tiki drinks from a specific time period and right now is mid century!

The decor makes you feel like you're in tiki heaven and the servers take it to a new high! You get your drinks quickly, they answer all the questions, & you can relax. Only downside is the drinks are filled with ice. Highly recommend requesting light ice or no ice. The flavors and drink cups are great!

Ashley S.

Yelp
Hidden harbor will make you feel like you are eating on the beach, drinking out of these cute tiki cups!! The vibes are just so relaxing and decor sends you to another place! The service is great and the employees all seemed so happy. For drinks, we ordered the Fog Cutter, Port Light, and Windwake to drink. The cocktails not only looked amazing but they tasted even better!! The Windwake drink was soooo delicious! For food, we ordered Papas Arrugadas, Wings - Tofu, Veggie Dumplings, and Bread & Butter. The Papas and the Dumplings were my favorite foods. I've never had potatoes in that shape before. They were like smashed? I don't really know hahahah! The cornbread and tofu were also very flavorful and yummy!! If you are in the mood for a fun, tropical, and delicious dinner you have to try Hidden Harbor!

Really nice casual bar. The atmosphere is relaxing, and a tad bit more on the intimate side. Great spot for a date night. They had a really vast array of specialty cocktails to choose from which were featured on a shark fin scale. (3 shark fins being very high on the alcohol content scale). Overall the drinks were good, but the Andiamo Lapu tasted more like tequila than rum and didn't have much sweetness to it at all, definitely tasted more like a margarita than a fruity cocktail. But when they brought it out they set it on fire! Which was super cool to see and its presentation was beautiful. If you want more of a fruity drink I recommend the paradise drink which was super light and fruity; you could tell they made it with fresh pineapple juice. All in all beside. It's a really nice spot, but if you have any visual impairments, it might be a skip for you. The lighting inside is super low, making it really hard to see. And if you're looking to take pictures, it's hard to get a good quality picture with the lights so low. However, the low lighting is part of the atmosphere and helps to create that nice relaxing vibe, so it depends what you're up for. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping in. - they have food too - just didn't get a chance to try it (note: kitchen closes at 10pm)

One of my favorite bars in Pittsburgh! It's such a fun tiki vibe and everything from the decor to the themed drinks is on point. Rivals some of the best tiki bars I've been to in SF. One of the drinks comes with a backscratcher that you can take home, which I think is so brilliant. There are so many good options on the menu, so it's really hard to decide what to get but I don't think you can go wrong here! Drinks are pretty good -- not too strong. It was really crowded when we went so we were only able to get seated towards the entrance area, which isn't as elaborately decorated as the parts more deep into the restaurant. Service here was excellent; the workers are very friendly, fun, and accommodating. Would highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun night out!

Yelp
This place is adorable. The decor makes you feel like you are in a tropical cafe. The staff is friendly and attentive and they have a covered back patio that is perfect during the warmer months. My one beef is that the prices are high. On my visit, someone in my party got the poke bowl ($18!) and it was tiny. I had the Bahn Mi with tofu and salad. It was delicious, especially the salad, which had what seemed like granola on top. Overall it is a place worth checking out, just be prepared for a large tab.

Marla C.

Yelp
I have been wanting to check this off my list for a while now. And I am so glad I finally did. Everything we ordered was so good. We ordered the coconut chicken dumplings, cornbread and Mexican street cauliflower to share. The butter that comes with the cornbread was amazing. Then I ordered the Al pastor tacos and omg! The flavor was amazing!! For drinks I got the tropicando and my friend got the windwake. Both drinks were so good. I will definitely be going back for the food and drinks. Also I just felt like I wasn't in Pittsburgh with the decor inside.

I literally loved everyone about this place. Got the painkiller, loved it! Got the street noodles, loved it! Loved the ambiance. Loved the staff. AND they have really good merch too! A+

Love HH. Busy and bustling every visit. Superior drinks and their balsamic dressing I could drink too! Nice happy hour on traditional tiki drinks!

Highly recommend the drinks at Hidden Harbor. It's amazing how the drinks look exactly as depicted in the menu drawings. Equally aesthetic and spectacular. They were really good, unique, and strong. My favorite was the painkiller, but each one was equally beyond my expectation. The theme and decor of the restaurant is also really well done. I've passed by this place for years and never came. It's a lot bigger inside than it looks on the outside. Only downside is service was a bit slow and food was mediocre.

Hidden Harbor in Pittsburgh is an absolute gem, and it has firmly established itself as my go-to destination for tiki cocktails. I've visited this tropical oasis several times, and with each visit, it continues to impress. The service is also spectacular!! The standout feature of Hidden Harbor is undoubtedly its fantastic array of drinks. The tiki cocktails here are not just drinks; they're works of art. During my most recent visit, I had the pleasure of sipping on the Mai Tai, and it was nothing short of perfect. The balance of flavors and the presentation in the classic tiki glass made it a memorable experience. Equally impressive was the Tropical Itch, a drink that tantalized my taste buds with its delightful flavors. Beyond the exceptional libations, the ambience and vibes at Hidden Harbor transport you to a different world. The décor, complete with tiki torches, bamboo accents, and tropical greenery, creates a relaxed and immersive atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can escape from the daily grind and enjoy a slice of paradise right in Pittsburgh. Now, let's talk about the food. Starting with the chicken wings and fries is a must. These are not your average wings; they are epic. The crispy, flavorful wings paired with perfectly seasoned fries are a match made in heaven. While these two are definite winners, I found the dumplings and fancy toast to be decent but not exceptional. The real star in the food department was the pork belly. It was tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor, proving to be a delightful surprise. In summary, Hidden Harbor is more than just a bar; it's an experience. With its exceptional tiki cocktails, immersive ambience, and a menu that boasts both hits and misses, it's a place that has something for everyone. Whether you're a tiki enthusiast or just looking for a unique night out in Pittsburgh, Hidden Harbor deserves a spot on your list of must-visit places.

Can't say enough good things about this place! I rave about it to everyone. I went to Hidden Harbor in early July on a Saturday late afternoon/evening- by myself- with my boyfriend meeting me an hour later. I felt so comfortable sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartenders, and with other guests. Some restaurants make the bar experience less pleasant but this was not the case. I tried 2-3 cocktails and 3 food items. Everything was good! I wasn't crazy about the flatbread but loved everything else, especially the fish tacos. You really only need 2 drinks here to be tipsy, they are POTENT and strong. But it's so hard not to order more because they are so aesthetically pleasing, unique, beautiful, and tasty! I will definitely return. So happy I finally gave this spot a chance

I can't believe I had never been to Hidden Harbor before - a total hidden gem. If you've ever been to Three Dots and a Dash in CHI, this spot will remind you of it. In fact, I asked our helpful bartender, Chris, about the history of this spot and he told us that Three Dots and a Dash is the owner's favorite bar :) They have an awesome happy hour during the week - $8 daiquiris! I had the pineapple daiquiri and it was delish! My partner had the Cuba Libre but it wasn't his favorite - that's ok though! After happy hour ended, I got the Pair o' Sails and it was awesome. My partner had the Buccaneer Grog and he really enjoyed it. The menu has a "key" for potent to extra potent drinks which I thought was a nice heads up. We ordered the chicken dumplings and they were truly nothing like any dumplings I've had before. They are flash fried - crispy on the outside and the filling is so flavorful. We really liked the dipping sauce it came with too. Our bartender, Chris, was really awesome. Very attentive, answered all of our questions and told us all different artists involved with the decor, glassware, etc. The place itself is such a vibe - tiki but not tacky, plants, cool statues. It's awesome. They also have a patio but we didn't stop to check it out. Cannot wait to make this a regular spot in our rotation!

Only had drinks but they were awesome. Fun for holiday cocktails with a great Island Christmas motif too.

Yelp
Touting as a tiki bar, I don't really get the tiki as much as I do a great pacific island vibe without the expected thatch roof. The drinks are really fun, each with its own twist. Enjoyed having a bourbon option where rums usually dominate.

Yelp
My nephew's girlfriend (Marcie) took me to this place after having dinner at the Independent Brewing Company. I'm not fond of rum drinks and prefer bourbon or scotch. However, she accepted my challenge to change my opinion of rum cocktails. Not only did I loved the rum cocktail; the bartenders (Andrea and Liam ?) are great to talk to and very knowledgeable. I was certainly impressed that Marcie nailed the cocktail and introduced me to this gem of a tiki bar. Challenge successfully met!

Tiki Bar nestled in Squirrel Hill outside of Pittsburgh, PA .. Hell Yes.. :) The ambiance is nothing short of magical - dim lighting, cozy seating, and a nautical theme that adds a touch of adventure to the entire space. It's the kind of place where you can unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion with friends and family. Let's talk about the cocktails - they are a true work of art. The mixologists at Hidden Harbor have mastered the craft of cocktail creation. The menu boasts an impressive array of concoctions, each with its own unique flair. I tried the "Tiki Tango," and it was like a tropical vacation in a glass - perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. What I didn't know and learned this time around was the Rum list. It's the largest list of rums that I've ever seen. They had hundreds of different rums. I tried a rum from Haiti (which I learned has 500 distilleries) crazy.. but wow was it good, smell wasn't that great, it was clear but the taste made up for it all. The service is top-notch. Our waitress wasn't on her game, messed up one of our requests, and asked multiple times to obtain a rum list. I had to go to the bar and obtain from the bartender. In conclusion, Hidden Harbor is a hidden Tiki Bar treasure in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood. You don't have to go to Florida or an island, but right here in the Steel City.

At the urging of a friend, I made a reservation to Hidden Harbor and then my boyfriend and I planned a weekend getaway to be in Pittsburgh for the reservation. I asked a question to Hidden Harbor's email address before placing reservation, and they were quick to respond, which was much appreciated. The reservation process was seamless. When we arrived at Hidden Harbor, we were immediately greeted. We were a little early, but that wasn't a problem and we were seated right away. This ambiance of this place is fresh and great for a winter getaway. It is a great place to evade the snow and let your troubles melt away for the duration of your stay. We had eaten before, and were only here for the much anticipated tiki drinks. I ordered the tropical itch, which came with a back scratcher, and I also got the fer-de-lance. Both were wonderful and I highly recommend. I should have ordered a three dots and a dash to compare how they make it at this tiki bar. My boyfriend ordered the night ripper, which came flaming, and a make your own daiquiri. We had a wonderful night and the service was great.

Leandro D.

Yelp
Didn't get to try the food here but the drinks. Oh man. These are some of the best drinks I've had. The presentation, the ambiance of the place that perfectly fits and the great service and attention to each customer. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a nice time, have some good drinks and catch up with some friends since they do have drinks for 4+ people

Samantha R.

Yelp
This place absolutely lives up to the hype! The drinks were incredibly delicious and priced reasonably. I went on a Tuesday without a reservation and was seated right away. I love how creative they are with their drinks; the flavors and theatrics (one of our drinks was on fire when we got it!) were on point. The decor and plants really set the vibe. A great spot for a date or to impress friends visiting from out of town, I'll be back for sure.

Ellie K.

Yelp
This is definitely not a destination bar, and I wish they didn't offer dinner and would go all in on the tiki vibe. Plenty of drinks on offer though. Service was brusque. Next time I would put in a quick order at the bar and be on our way.

This bar / lounge is so laidback nice for a date night with bae the ambience is so unique feels like you walked into a Hawaii bar on the beach if you dear try the RUM KING drink AMAZING and chicken wings yummy So check this place out my yelpers P.S the service was OUTSTANDING

Alex D.

Yelp
Oh yeah! Another fantastic evening here with my family - the staff were super nice to us and our kids. Drinks were on point, as always, and their new dishes were DELICIOUS! We really loved the pork belly appetizer, the street noodle entree, and wished we had room for an order of carne asada tacos, but that will have to wait until our next opportunity to visit. Thanks again for a great evening!

I came here with a friend to celebrate my birthday. This place has been on my list for awhile now, I'm so glad we came! I tried the Rum King and the Pain killer. I really enjoyed the pain killer! The servers were wonderful! It was surprisingly dark in there, but the place is super cute!

Vladimir L.

Yelp
I was excited to go to this place. Cool presentation of drinks and decor. Food good too. However, service and tone of the service was strange and rude. 20% tip is automatic even on parties of 2 so I feel there is no incentive to be friendly.

Tabitha C.

Yelp
My friend took me here for my birthday as I am a huge fan of fun drinks and never heard of this place. I wanna say the parking is probably a con but their drinks here are pretty strong so probably should uber anyway. I triple fisted drinks, it's just how I roll. I tried the "other side" (skull mug) and "king ku" (giant tiki seemingly most popular). They were both well worth the fun presentation, taste delicious, made generously strong and were not too sweet! I don't remember what the third drink was called LOL. Just to soak up the alcohol (because who honestly goes here for anything but the alcohol - the menu of food is very small to support that thought), we tried the chicken dumplings and ricotta toast which were both very delicious! Id say the only negatives of our experience were that the waitress did not come to our table at all for nearly 10 minutes from being seated to meeting the waitress but she was lovely. It was hard to hear ourselves talk. However I enjoyed the drinks and we didn't wait long with our reservation. Surprisingly a very casual place with a pretty consistent young college crowd, felt like a coffee shop vibe but was a good time! Love the drinks! So cute!

I recently came back to Hidden Harbor after seeing a post of theirs on IG. My cousin and I came in on a Tuesday. They told us they were doing their Tiki Time Machine menu (which runs every Tuesday through the end of August) so we decided to try some drinks on the menu. I like that they have the potency of each drink so you're aware of what you're getting into. Lol The first drink I ordered was the jet pilot. The presentation of all of their drinks is top notch. I also ordered the Singapore Sling, which was also tasty. When you do the tiki Time Machine, they give you a passport and they stamp off each drink once you try it. I also ordered a shrimp po boy and it was a large serving! I took half of it home. Our waitress was also very attentive and kind. Overall, we had a great experience. I can't wait to go back!

Jacob S.

One of my favorite places in Pittsburgh! Great atmosphere, love the drinks and food. Such a great vibe, love the staff and great service.

After coming here with my friend, I immediately loved the decoration in the place with its vacation-esque environment. I don't know if there's a food menu, we just reached for the drink menu. The drink menu was super unique with its drink names, menu, the layout of the place, and the cups that the drinks came in. It gave a special experience with drinks that were lit on fire. I've come here a couple of times, and my favorite drinks are Night Ripper, Hidden Harbor Rum Barrel, Monsoon Mist, and O.M.G. Almost all of the drinks have rum incorporated in them because of the tiki theme. If you have a party of 2, I would definitely recommend the Monsoon Mist. If you have a larger party, definitely try the O.M.G. The servers here are also very polite and cater to where you want to sit. During the summer, I definitely recommend sitting out back and enjoying the weather. I would definitely come here again and have done so. I always come back for the vibe of the place, great drinks, and great service!

Yelp
Fun little tiki styled bar. Not over-the-top like most tiki bars, where every square inch of the place is plastered with something. The decor was more tasteful, almost even upscale. All in all the cocktails were decent and packed a tropical wallop. Nice chill bar with low lighting and cool cozy nooks to hang with friends in. I'd go back! One note: the darker side, opposite the bar, could use maybe one or two larger beach themed pieces along the ceiling, like a canoe, or a couple long surfboards. Felt a little thin on the decor on that side.

If you are looking for an oasis in Pittsburgh where the drinks transport you to a warm, sunny place, Hidden Harbor could be your answer. Adam and his team have created and cultivated an experience that makes everyone comfortable and welcome, whether you are a tiki cocktail veteran or just experiencing tiki for the first time. Their bar program is top-notch and their food menu continues to get better and better. Cudos to everyone who makes this place so special to so many people.

Addie S.

Yelp
I'm a massive tiki enthusiast, and Hidden Harbour was definitely worth the drive from Toronto! The decor is absolutely gorgeous, with the bar divided into two very distinct halves and beautifully decorated throughout. I had the Hidden Harbour Rum Barrel and it's the best rum barrel I've had to date, with the Pair 'o Sails, Zombie, and Buccaneer Grog also being incredibly delicious! 10/10 on drinks, even in the presentation. Beautiful mugs (sadly none for sale), and amazingly elaborate garnishes that are just too stunning. Good service can make or break a tiki bar, and I was delighted to find the staff of Hidden Harbour to be some of the friendliest and warmest folks I've had the pleasure of meeting in the tiki community. The bar staff really care about their drinks and really ensure their visitors have a great experience. Special shoutout to bartender Chris for the lovely company and cocktail chitchat throughout the night at our bar-adjacent window seat, as well as a HUGE thank you to Victor (apologies if I've got the name wrong) for being so friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic for our excitement to be there! Can't wait to visit Pittsburgh again, with hopefully a lot more visits to this incredible tiki gem.

Tropical Paradise in Pittsburgh Want to feel like you're on vacation without leaving Pittsburgh? Check out Hidden Harbor tiki bar in Squirrel Hill. I can't believe it took until now to make it over to this adorable, fun cocktail bar! We got to try so many of the cocktails since we went with friends, but the ones I got were: ‍Enchanted Sea: mix of bourbon & rum with fassionola, & warming Indian spices - so cute & good! Night Ripper: strong rums, coffee, citrus, honey, secret spices - be *ready* for this one. King Ku: 18 ingredients including falrenum, peach, & almost - also strong but prob my fave! Calamari: special mention, because the sauce was so tasty! Stop by next time you need a getaway but can't get out of town, the cocktails are strong, the decor is adorable, & the service is super friendly!

This place is great! If you're looking for a tiki bar, this is the best place to go! The staff is super nice and friendly. We had a large group on a Friday night but were seated immediately. I love how well designed and on theme their brand is! From the personalized drink umbrellas to the postcards, they have an amazing and thoughtful brand design team. The drinks here are also really good! They use really fun drinkware too. They also serve food here but we only had fries since we had dinner already. The vibes are fun here and I definitely recommend the Irukandju if you like mezcal. I love how the menu tells you how strong the drinks are with shark fins. They also do really cute fishbowls and large format drinks. Definitely a fun place to check out if you're looking for a new bar.

Lauren B.

Yelp
Yes you must be vaxxed and boosted to eat inside. Which made me feel much more comfortable! We came to hidden harbor to celebrate my birthday. I was in town for a conference and was so excited to get to go to such a fun place to celebrate my existence. Right off the bat they made it special with a flaming birthday drink!!! I ordered two drinks and those little shark fins are not playing. Know yourself! Both drink were DELICIOUS. We also ordered the arancini (which they obliged to make without bacon) fish tacos, fries, and calimari. Everything was perfectly fried and seasoned. There was particularly nice balance in the fish taco. I'm not like a huge tiki person, I just love the drinks. But the decor made the whole experience that little bit extra that was delightful. I was a little worried about the 90 minute window, but since it was a quiet Tuesday we were able to enjoy our beverages without be rushed out the door!

Heard so many things about this restaurant and honestly didn't disappoint. I expected them to be busier on a Saturday, but we were seated immediately. Service was great throughout. We got the monsoon mist to share between 2 people and it tasted great and came in a puffer fish glass which was so cute! We got the dumplings as an appetizer and as someone who isn't typically a fan of fried dumplings, they were great! I got the Korean fried chicken sandwich with fries and it was delicious! It came out promptly and portions were perfect too. The restaurant is super cute too - with a tiki-y vibe but not too much. Would definitely come back, can't wait!

Love this tiny bar! Amazing cocktails. Definitely on the pricier side. They're heavy handed in the alcohol so you only need one or two. The food also is wonderful! Great flavors! It's a seasonal menu so I'm always excited to try new items. This is a great place to meet up with friend or have a date at!

We had a wonderful time at Hidden Harbor. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I ordered the Pork Bánh Mì, and it was a creative and delicious dish. I also ordered the Anancini as an appetizer for the table. There are some nice vegetarian options, and great drinks. The menu is really difficult to find on their website, I wish they would improve that one thing. They have options for outside eating, which are very important during this Pandemic. Note that the tip is already included in the bill.
