We sat near the front door, and it was a cold night, so there was a blast of cold air when the door opened. The food was very good, though the mozzarella and tomato appetizer I ordered turned out not to be available. I ordered my main course, stuffed salmon, without salt, and it was prepared just the way I ordered it.

For your next meal, dare to try something different and dine at Aquario Restaurant. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant in the Tri-State Area and they serve up an excellent mix of popular Brazilian and Portuguese dishes. You will think you have gone to sleep and woke up in Lisbon or Rio once you set your taste buds on the rib eye steak that has been charbroiled to perfection at Aquario Restaurant.

No meal is complete without a nice glass of wine, and Aquario Restaurant has plenty to choose from. Ask your server to help you pair just the right variety with your food.

2024 Christmas Eve dinner, did not disappoint. Been here for holiday dinners before, Harbor Mist continues to deliver a great experience. Pear salad and salad caprese - very fresh greens, tomatoes, both appetizers very tasty and enough for five. Scallops with a caper-raisin sauce, sounds weird but fantastic, Pork chops that melted in your mouth served with vegatable and sliced potatoes. Salmon done to perfection. Savory skirt steak full of flavor with delish mashed potatoes. Great food! Friendly hostess, we were seated exactly at our dinner reservation time. Taken care of by Alana and Silvia at the table, they were friendly, engaging, outgoing, helpful and attentive. Great service! Reasonably priced wine, no extra charges for bread, etc. Variety of selections off the holiday menu. Not inexpensive but good portions for price from apps and entrees. Good value! Highly recommended for a holiday dinner, Harbor Mist is one of a select few establishments that we have found who do holidays meals right. Do go.
