Close-up of the Ruben Sandwich.
On a random day, my Fiance tells me he had lunch at Harbor Restaurant 38.
Then proceeded to go on and on raving about it.
But my burning question was, "You went... WITHOUT me?"
He felt a bit guilty so he brought me this time around. ;)
Full Harbor Pastrami Ruben Sandwich- $14.50.
My Fiance was actually craving their Brisket Sandwich. But it turns out, it's a special item (only featured when the chef wants to). So he picked their Ruben Sandwich instead.
I'm generally not a fan of the Ruben,
but my Fiance's sandwich looked really mouth-watering and he insisted I take a bite.
WOW is all I can say.
I would highly recommend. It's a whole lot of awesome!
I mean, how can it not?
There's Swiss cheese, Sauerkraut AND Bacon.
Their chips were really tasty too.
We also liked their Grilled Octopus appetizer.
Grilled Octopus Appetizer- $14 ($12 during Happy Hour).
The octopus was quite tender.
The arugula, lemon, red onion, cilantro, and garlic is light, yet embraces you like a warm summer.
Brasa Grilled Scampi- $24.
I was quite excited to see they had squid pasta on their menu.
Was I blown away?
Taste-wise, it was delicious!
Every bite was full of melty cheese, garlic and capers.
And they don't scrimp on the garlic either!!!
The shrimps were seasoned in a cajun-like herb mix
(reminiscent of Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic seasoning),
then grilled. It was really tasty just by itself too.
I was anticipating the squid ink noodles to be silky soft.
However, the texture was firmer and more done to Al dente so
if that's not how you usually like your pasta, you might consider ordering something else.
Interior Decor
There's actually a lot of seating in their waiting area by the host stand.
Very charming wall decor right?
Inside of the restaurant is quite airy.

Main area signage (to enter into parking lot).
When you see "Hawaiian Ice" warehouses, turn LEFT for the parking lot.
Lots of free parking.
More free parking in the center middle area as well.
The restaurant viewed from the Pier side.
The Harbor restaurant is located right by the pier on the 2nd level of Nico's 38 (which is also fantastic).
Overall, we highly recommend Harbor 38 Restaurant.
Their staff were super friendly (from the hostess, server, to management).
Their solid and fresh seafood dishes and comfortable ambiance will warrant more visits in the future.
