Amazing food! We had a great time and the service was the best we had in Donegal! Emma and Hannah were lovely.

Travelled to Donegal town to see what it had to offer. First we went to McCafferty’s for some food but after waiting for around ten minutes with disinterested staff , including what seemed to be a manager that didn’t make any effort to approach us...we continued to look else where. Two friends and myself then seen some outside dining being hosted by The Harbour Restaurant & Bar . We approached and were greeted straight away by a warm and friendly Daithi already off to a better start . He then explained that they had just reopened today and that he would discuss with the host if there was availability. Then we were greeted by a busy but very professional Sean who checked the bookings and was quick to get us a table against all odds , He had menus and a drinks order taken straight away very swiftly to our relief as we were quite hungry from visiting the Wild Atlantic Way during the afternoon. The menu was impressive, good balance of fish , red and white meat dishes. The starters and main course sections on the menu was really easy to read and all uniform , very well done. The menu was also very informative of what was included in each dish regarding relevant allergen advice/information. Daithi recorded our order with ease and no issues and was able to recite it back clearly, then our Guinness arrived your cold room must have new mono blocks or the keg must have been well chilled before being tapped but it was fantastic big well done to who ever pulled it. Our starters came and we had ordered, Steamed Donegal Bay Mussels , Spiced King Prawns and Chicken Wings. All received quite highly & included lemon wipes for fingers and a wedge of lemon for a palette cleanse highly impressed by that. I’d also asked for a wine list and was expecting one of the servers to quiz me on what I was having as mains to see if they would pair any wine for me or try and maybe upswell some but I was also conscious that it was full at this point and they had quite a journey to travel with the food, so I ordered what I would have recommended myself. For main course we ordered , The Signature Surf & Turf and two Irish Americans. Presentation was perfect, really liked the crockery they came on . Where is the beef sourced from ? A local supplier or an industrial one? What about the onion rings are they made in house ?. The food was exceptionally well my steak was rare and not a bit of myoglobin in sight. Main course was excellent, we were cleared and then approached by Hannah who presented us with our dessert menu and recited all the relevant information that we needed going forward with our decision on the course , the only thing I would say is from experience but then again not knowing the demographic popularity of the area I would have personally added a hot chocolate brownie to this menu as was lacking with a warm sweet especially with outside dining . As having said that the menu is also again extensive and has a great range of variety, We settled for Harbour House Profiteroles. I found this dish was the best branded dish on the menu. I also ordered a latte , the dessert was lovely with honey ice cream and bailey’s chocolate sauce. The only thing I could really fault was the coffee , the milk was burnt and had no texture , also the glass it was served in had been quite difficult to deliver regarding this it did have some access coffee spilt around the glass and was made in effort to clean this mistake with a napkin maybe? A wet napkin to polish the glass would have been a better way to hide this. But I appreciate yous have just reopened and everything can’t always be perfect but it wasn’t very far off. I’d like to thank Daithi ,Sean & Hannah for a great service tonight. Will certainly put the word out that The Harbour Restaurant is definitely worth a visit.More
