Pick any seat inside this Stratford restaurant and see a beautifully groomed lawn and clear views of the Housatonic River.
And as if the view wasn't enough, Harbor Side has its own dock, opening up the restaurant to boaters needing a break. The restaurants five areas - dining room, bar, lounge, club room and patio - comfortably hold about 1,200 people.
All the meals are large, yet appropriately portioned with an excellent array of foods that compliment each other. The chicken is tender enough to cut with your fork, and vegetables taste so fresh, you'd think they were hand picked to order.
The restaurant doubles as a fun nightspot. Harbor Side hosts theme nights and features drink specials in their clubroom throughout the week. There are evenings dedicated to salsa dancing, "Club Nights," "Girls Night Out," "South Beach Saturdays" and "Big Summer Sundays."
Whether going out for dinner, drinks, dancing, or simply to sit by the water, Harbor Side is the place.
