What Mia Roberts likes about Harbour Heights:
Lovely family meal to celebrate a 21st birthday. Everyone had a different meal with plenty of food sharing and every dish was well cooked and very tasty. The staff attention was excellent View all feedback. What Peter Steinberg doesn't like about Harbour Heights:
We have dined at Harbour Heights several times before and have always enjoyed the food. However, during our most recent visit, we were disappointed with the limited options on the menu. The starters and desserts did not appeal to either of us, with only three choices available on the dessert menu. The service was lacking, as the waiter seemed indifferent and inattentive. He was not knowledgeable about the drinks and... View all feedback.

This place must have the best view in Dorset, looking over Poole harbour to Brownsea island, or through the pines to the Old Harry Rocks.

I think it would be nicer to have leaf tea rather than tea bags.

Despite enjoying previous visits to Harbour Heights, the reviewers had a disappointing experience on this occasion. They found the menu choices limited and the service lacking. One reviewer noted that the restaurant now has a breakfast buffet cooler that gives the impression of a hotel breakfast room. However, the food quality and taste were still good despite the departure of the first chef in December. While the location offers superb views, the prices were considered high for the quality of food received. On a positive note, a family celebrated a 21st birthday with a lovely meal where every dish was well-cooked and tasty, with excellent staff attention. Another reviewer was impressed with the first-class food and service for their son's 18th birthday lunch, along with the beautiful views. Special mention was given to a staff member for making the birthday celebration memorable.

Although the location offers a fantastic view, the prices are quite high as a result. The food was decent, but did not justify the high prices. Paying over £15...
