Horvath's Harbor

Stopped for lunch in the mid afternoon. Nice place limited seating on the main floor, had an upstairs and a lot of outside seating for the nicer weather days. Had fish tacos and fries was good. The Iced tea was....weird, had to send it back tasted like old sun tea to me, no biggie. They started to get kinda busy and only one sever to do everything it looked like, took a little time to get food, again no biggie. Definitely going back to enjoy the outside seating!

Ask for a spot on the patio! I mean, if you can and the weather allows. The patio at Horvath's Harbor is large, with lots of tables and seating right by a strip of water. Maybe it's a harbor -- I don't know. That would make sense, though, right? Considering this restaurant has "harbor" in its name. Let's just say that the strip of water right by the restaurant is a harbor. I was enchanted by the water and also by the service at Horvath's. The servers were exceedingly kind and brought me my food and drink very quickly. I ordered a Blueberry Basil Mule, which is the house specialty drink. It's basically a Moscow Mule but with housemade blueberry basil syrup. It was sweet but refreshing. It was the perfect warm-weather beverage.There were so many things on the menu that sounded good to me: burgers, salads, wraps, tacos, etc. I couldn't decide what to get, so I got an appetizer sampler, which was a couple of spring rolls, roasted Brussels sprouts and mac-and-cheese bites. All of the appetizers were tasty! It was nice to have a variety. They do Happy Hour specials here, and I happened to visit during their Happy Hours, so my drink and appetizers were discounted! Yes! I would have gladly paid full price for what I got, but I was even happier paying less, because I like saving money.

I'd give Horvath's Harbor 4 1/2 stars. I'm rounding up to 5*'s because I disagree with some of the overly harsh reviews, and wonder if some of these are written by competitors working at other nearby restaurants...The place is lovely - as Kalah said, it's a "hidden gem" around the lake.Service is very friendly.Drinks are excellent.Food is very tasty - we especially like the blackened Mahi sandwich, the brussel sprout side, and the fried chicken sandwich.The upstairs dining area is big, super comfortable and very relaxing. We sat there during a recent OSU Football game and had a great time.Horvath's Harbor is classier and more adult than standard bar food restaurants around the lake, and has become one of our "go to" places.Solidly recommended...

Yaaasss!!! We definitely hit the jackpot on this one! I told the hubby that I wanted to venture out towards Buckeye Lake and see what the restaurants had to offer and boy did Horvath's Harbor do it! Everything was absolutely wonderful! I loved the country view while driving to the restaurant as well. It was SO beautiful! When walking into the restaurant, you will see that there is a coffee lounge setup at the front of the restaurant. I thought that this was a cute idea! After passing the coffee lounge, you step into a cute, little lounge. While the space inside might seem small, there is plenty of seating outside on the patio by the water. We decided to eat inside since it was 98 degrees out (too hot for me). Our server (Tierra) was so attentive and kind! For starters, they do not offer a kids menu here. So - I asked if they could make our daughter a grilled cheese and the cooks did just that. I also asked for my lobster for my lobster roll to be hot versus chilled and the cooks did that as well. All of our dishes tasted absolutely delicious! My lobster roll was amazing - it was full of large chunks of hot, buttery lobster; the aioli sauce and chives on top were divine; and the roll was nice, buttery, and toasted to perfection. I ordered the house-made garlic parmesan chips as my side. These were perfect! They were full of flavor and super crunchy - not too salty nor greasy! I also tried my daughter's french fries. These were perfect too! The fries were piping hot, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside - my favorite! My hubby ordered the mac salad - which is basically a Big Mac in a bowl - he really enjoyed this as well! I definitely want to come back soon and try the Reuben (apparently a house favorite)! See you soon, Horvath's Harbor! Hi

Recommend: the apps!! The apps are fantastic here- we had nachos, loaded garlic parm fries, Brussels sprouts, & mac n cheese. They were all so tasty, even the Brussels sprouts. The burger is also good and the fish tacos were probably my favorite main course.I would not recommend the chopped cheese- this was to bland and messy in my opinion. The burger was actually chopped up and would just fall out. There wasn't as much flavor as I was expecting. We came here on a Friday night and the band was playing inside. It was absolutely too loud and you could not even have a conversation with anyone around you. It also has more of a cozy atmosphere inside than a restaurant vibe. The service was pretty good and so was the food. Must try this place if you are on the lake.

We love Horvath's Harbor. The food is delicious, the servers are very friendly, they have a long list of really good and creative drinks, and the interior is really pretty and very relaxing. We've enjoyed the place every time we've been, and go pretty often.Get the Mahi Wrap - it's delicious...!

Great place in Buckeye Lake area. Food is delicious and menu has a great variety! We always have a nice friendly server and they have a cozy indoor and fun outdoor atmosphere. If you're in the Buckeye Lake area definitely would recommend!!

The fish tacos are soo amazing!! John was so friendly and made the best cocktails! so fresh and flavorful! We will be visiting again soon!Thanks for a great experience John!The Morgan's

Walked into the restaurant on a Saturday evening and wasn't made aware we had to seat ourselves, despite many employees making eye contact with my group. Not a huge deal, kept walking and figured it out. Sat down at our table outside, and the video and live music were great. The first thing the server said was if we wanted food it would be 1.5 hour wait. She handed us a menu and it was a limited menu with maybe five or six options. Was told my someone else in my group that they've also had issues previously with food availability.If you're going here on the weekend expect limited parking, limited food availability, and a possibly 1 hour+ wait on any food making it to your table.

I checked the hours for Halloween night. it said open. nothing else. I shouldn't have to look at every post you have ever made to make sure you're not having an event. Instead I am told inside the owners are having a private Halloween party for friends and the kitchen is closed , but we could stay. After experiencing inconsistent food and a staff that would rather be anywhere else, especially if you're on the top floor, and then this, we will never be back.
