We had a fantastic anniversary meal here: the service was excellent, we recieved our starters only 20 minutes after sitting down, and on a Friday night too! Our server, Thomas, was absolutely brilliant. The food was delicious and what we felt to be well priced, with the atmosphere of the restaurant, excellent service, and so on. The restaurant even surprised us with a special congratulations dessert for our anniversary, which was a lovely touch. Our only qualm was that a DJ set up for an event near the end of our visit, and the music was quite loud- we weren’t warned about this when we booked, however it didn’t affect us too much as we left soon after. Overall, a really positive and enjoyable experience; we’d visit again.
Such a wonderful Sunday lunch with my husband. The service by Ana, food and ambiance was amazing. I highly recommend the burrata starter and roast beef. Everything was exquisite. Will certainly be back. Thank you!
Great modern bar and restaurant, on the 6th floor of the hotel as the name implies. Wonderful view from the terrace where we enjoyed our 3 course meal in the sunshine. The only slightly disappointing thing was the price of the nonalcoholic cocktails. However, Service was of the highest calibre.
HarBAR is highly recommend for a romantic meal overlooking ocean Village marina. Food / location / setup and atmosphere is hard to beat. Food in the Resturant is recommend and the selection of Drinks makes the entire experience worth it.
Great food and lovely views of the marina too. Our server was lovely but a little slow as it was fairly busy. We had the burata, salmon and steak for starters. The burata was great but could have done with some more tomatoes. For mains we had the duck, fish and chips lamb and prawn and crab linguini. I felt satisfied after the whole bowl of linguini. I think this place is great for a special occasion as it is a bit pricey
Had a fantastic experience. Food and drinks were exceptional. Staff friendly, professional and nothing too much trouble and made each visit special. Atmosphere was vibrant and relaxing, the views of Southampton are stunning. I think it was the best modern hotel we have stayed in. Highly recommend.
A Birthday Gift … 3:30pm FRIDAY afternoon. Good news, managed to park in the car park. Excellent service, attentive staff, worthy high tea. Simply one mistake .. forgot the macaroons.. realised by the server.. sorted by another staff member who ‘enquired’. Great views off the 6th floor balcony. Excellent experience. PS To be tipsy need to add champagne 🥂🍾🥂🍾… adds a few £££
Had a lovely evening meal in here after a recommendation from a friend. It has a great vibe, super friendly staff and the food was amazing. Imagine in nicer weather the roof terrace would be great too. Will be returning whenever we are in Southampton!
Very nice atmosphere. We had dinner in the restaurant and the service was very good. This is a place we like to go to often. For dinner, we had the beef burger which was really good. Dirty fries was incredible. The salmon fillet was below expectation and probably won’t order this again (but still giving 5 stars because of above). There was a DJ next door in the bar area which is great and made a great vibe in the place.
I recently dined at Harbour on the 6th and overall had a pleasant experience. While there were a few hiccups along the way, the food and atmosphere made up for it, earning this restaurant a solid four-star rating.
Let's start with the food. The dishes we ordered were mostly delicious and well-prepared. The smoked salmon and caviar were particularly delightful, offering a burst of flavours. However, I must mention that the prices were quite steep for the quality we received. The burrata, in particular, was a little lacking in flavour, which was a bit disappointing. The fish and chips and seafood pasta were well-executed, but again, the high price tag didn't quite justify the overall experience. While the food was enjoyable, it left me wishing for a better balance between taste and value.
Moving on to the atmosphere, I must say it was exceptional. The restaurant boasted beautiful views, creating a serene and inviting ambience. It was a pleasure to enjoy a meal in such a picturesque setting, and it certainly added to the overall dining experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or a serene escape, Harbour on the 6th has got you covered.
Now, let's address the service. On the surface, the service seemed to be good, with attentive staff members eager to assist. However, we encountered a few issues that dampened the experience. Firstly, we received the wrong food on three separate occasions. It was explained to us that it was the server's first day, and multiple apologies were offered, but this still impacted our overall satisfaction. Furthermore, the staff seemed to lack effective communication among themselves. We were asked the same questions multiple times, such as whether we wanted drinks, which indicated a breakdown in coordination. These minor issues could be improved to enhance the overall service quality.
Additionally, I would like to highlight a thoughtful gesture from the restaurant staff at Harbour on the 6th. Upon mentioning that my partner and I were celebrating our anniversary, they surprised us with a decorative plate adorned with macarons. This kind gesture added a touch of warmth and personalized attention to our dining experience, and we truly appreciated the effort taken by the staff to make our celebration feel special.
In summary, Harbour on the 6th is a restaurant with a lot of potential. The food, despite being delicious, was quite pricey for the quality received. The atmosphere, on the other hand, was outstanding, providing a lovely backdrop for a meal. The service had some missteps due to inexperienced staff and communication issues. With some improvements in the service department and a reevaluation of the pricing, Harbour on the 6th has the potential to become a top-notch dining destination.
