$25 corkage fee has no value. Is you add 20% tip for server (who gets nothing from the $25) that’s really a $30 expense with little value.

Salt Lake City

About the restaurant

Harbor Seafood & Steak Co. opened in August 2014 and is located on the corner of 2100 South & 2300 East in Sugar House. Since then, Harbor has been serving quality interpretations of classic dishes with the highest level of ingredients.

We wanted to create a neighborhood restaurant that gives our guests a sense of home. Our menu is based on simple comfort food, where the taste and quality stands for what we believe in. Founded by Randall Curtis & Taylor Jacobsen, our goal was simple: give our guests not only the freshest seafood and wagyu steaks but also serve an affordable wine selection and great artisan cocktails for only $13.5. And oh yeah, the music is great too.

We had a fantastic dinner at Twigs Bistro in Station Park. The ambiance was stylish and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed evening out. Our server, Chris, was outstanding ... genuinely friendly, attentive without hovering, and gave us great recommendations. You could tell he really cared about making sure we had a great experience. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, and the cocktails were just as good as we’d hoped. If you're there, don’t miss the Grass Skirt Mojito! All in all, a great night. Thanks to the team at Twigs and especially to Chris for taking such great care of us. We’ll definitely be back.
