Atmosphere and Decor
Pros:

"Views were stunning and it was so warm sitting by the windows even for a October evening."
"The setting, high above the ocean village marina, is great."
"The panoramic views of the marina are stunning."
"The glass surround provides stunning views of the ocean village marina, and these can be enjoyed even more from the terrace area."
"The weather at the time was lovely so this place is particularly good as it has wonderful views out to sea."
"We came for some prehdinner drinks and booked a table which had a view over the marina, it felt really romantic."
Cons:
"So so so very loud. Our whole group could only speak to one person at a time and had to shout."

"There was a DJ next door in the bar area which is great and made a great vibe in the place."
"The music was 1. terrible 2.so loud that we found ourselves shouting most of the time."
"We went there for New Year's eve dinner. The terrace was closed due to bad weather, we hope to visit soon for some drinks."
"The bar has a lovely ambience, too. We really enjoyed it here and would highly recommend."
"We went to the Harbar for a birthday on Sept 18th '22. The atmosphere, however, the menus were impossible to read."

"The waitress followed us to the toilet and whilst we were in there we had a phone call from the restaurant to confirm we were going to pay."
