Frommer's Review

Owned by the proprietors of the respected but now defunct Le Chateaubriand, Harbour Grill still features much of that restaurant's same quality menu in an attractive location, complete with views of Discovery Passage. The dinner menu features many worthy relics of mid-20th-century fine dining. Yes, you can actually order a real chateaubriand here, an arm-size roast of beef tenderloin drizzled with béarnaise and topped with asparagus. Other classics of Kennedy-era cuisine include duck with orange sauce and veal Oscar. In summer, fresh seafood receives more contemporary preparations. The Harbour Grill isn't exactly a food museum -- for one thing, the new location is too bright and modern -- it's more like time-travel cuisine, and great fun at that.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
