    Such a fun, festive night eating on the downstairs patio at Christmas time. The service was great and it was a great family dinner!

    If you're looking for the perfect venue for food, scenery, ambiance, and excellent service, go to Harpoon Henry's in the Dana Point Harbor. The menu covers a range of choices for everyone's taste needs, with affordable prices. Right now the area is completely decorated in Christmas lights, which adds to the beautiful scenery.

    Harpoon Henry's has always been a favorite of ours. We live nearby and take out of town friends there often. This time they were local friends and the evening was perfect. Great food. Awesome atmosphere, and our server (John) was super.

    The blonde young hostess working 12/16 was unprofessional and rude. I requested a table and she said “we’re not taking reservations “ and at that same time a patron had let her know she wouldn’t be using her reservation as they were dinning in the lounge. I asked if I could have their table as there were many open tables overlooking the water she said no I need a reservation. So I go on open table book a reservation at the same time for two, and show the other hostess the confirmation she seats me at the table I wanted no problem. Why did I just argue a 12 year old for a table? When there’s 10 open tables and she said we’re not taking any reservations? Hire a better hostess she even was wearing an unprofessional outfit.

    Nice wine selection. Nice seafood selection. Ordered the shrimp cocktail, Asian pear salad and Alaskan Halibut. All food was excellent. Nice atmosphere, good energy. Only downside, limited desert menu (4 items) and they were out of my first two choices. Also, no espresso coffee.
