Harbor Seafood & Steak Co. opened in August 2014 and is located on the corner of 2100 South & 2300 East in Sugar House. Since then, Harbor has been serving quality interpretations of classic dishes with the highest level of ingredients.We wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant that gives our guests a sense of home. Our menu is based on simple comfort food, where the taste and quality stands for what we believe in. Founded by Randall Curtis & Taylor Jacobsen, our goal was simple: give our guests not only the freshest seafood and wagyu steaks but also serve an affordable wine selection and great artisan cocktails for only $13.5.

    This was a new restaurant to myself and my dining partner. The comfort food elevated concept was very interesting and amazingly well done. The servers' recommendations were fantastic and everything delivered to our table was exactly as described on the menu. The fact that the restaurant has artificial sweeteners, but not the pink packets (i.e., saccharin) caused me to not get the iced tea. I don't know why any upscale restaurant would not offer pink packets as an option to guests since it's the only artificial sweetener that effectively and efficiently dissolves into cold beverages. Other than the artificial sweetener issue, everything else was fantastic! I highly recommend this restaurant, and if you like iced tea sweetened with saccharin, I recommend you bring your own Sweet 'n' Low packets with you. There are many appetizers that are absolutely delicious and will have me return to try the ones I could not get to on this visit. On the service side, I was running late because of when the concert ended at Delta Center. I called the restaurant and talked with Bob to let him know I was heading over from Delta Center, but I would be a few minutes later than my scheduled 5:30 pm reservation. Bob assured me that was just fine and we got there at 5:45 pm. We were seated immediately at a table that was ready for us, and had a lovely time. The service is just great at Carson Kitchen!
