Harrington's By The Bay

Looked up your restaurant before we made the trip! WOW! was it worth it! Ordered the Ahi Tuna Wontons with the Wasabi Aioli, Teriyaki Glaze, Mango Relish (I am not a seafood person at all, this was a first for me and I was pretty scared ordering this). HOLY MOSES was that the most amazing experience! It was delectable! Our next course we both ordered the Beef Tenderloin; so sophisticated and lovely! My husband was at a loss for words! For dessert we took home the Key Lime Tart Pie! Scrumptious! I cannot wait for our next trip to TC we will definitely be stopping by! We sat at the bar, the view was spectacular and the service was TOP NOTCH!

Really liked our experience here! We started with the bang bang shrimp, and it did not disappoint—so tasty and full of flavor. The chicken sandwich with bacon was another winner, with tender chicken and bacon cooked just right. The service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. A solid spot for a satisfying meal with good food and great service.

Good location, great service. Bar area has drink and food specials every day. Great deals! Food was great! They have a spot where you can see the cooks in the kitchen. The one thing that really made me uncomfortable eating there was the fact that none of the cooks were wearing gloves. I hope this is addressed quickly.

We don't get to come to Traverse City, but every time we do, we make certain to go to Harrington's! The large, main room is flanked by twin fireplaces and boasts a full wall of windows offering a beautiful view of the bay. There is a stylish bar area, a private (yet surprisingly open) private dining area for parties, and outdoor terrace seating (facing the bay). You are welcomed by smiling face and ushered to your seat fairly quickly, whether you have a reservation or not. They offer a wide variety of spirits (my husband had the Traverse City Cherry bourbon), teas, and soft drinks. We decided to share the crab cakes (they are to die for, and the roumalade? *chef's kiss*) and the bacon wrapped shrimp (delicious!) Both are appetizers, but make for a nice meal. My husband had the seafood chowder....smooth, creamy and hearty. Our server was kind and knowledgeable... she was very busy (it was a Saturday in the early summer. The place was jumpin), but she made us feel looked after and taken care of. Harrington's is a wonderful restaurant for families, parties, business lunches/dinners, and date nights.... well, for anyone, really! *I forgot to take pics first. We were hungry. LOL There

It is an okay place. The view is great if you wait by the windows. The restaurant is on the darker side and easy to talk. The food was okay. The seafood chowder had a lot of spice and flavor. Not typical for a chowder. The short rip was juicy and the mashed potatoes we creamy and flavorful. Make sure to get reservations.
