The restaurant is in the back of Fisherman’s Village. It’s on the water and you can pull your boat up to dine as well. The server was really sweet but it smelled like toilet. I would randomly get a smell and my sister smelled it the whole time that she took her food to go as it was making her sick. The frozen drink machine was down so I then ordered a sprite and had to send it back because that was bad but ended up just being the syrup. We had the buffalo cauliflower which was pretty tasty. I had the ahi tuna appetizer as well which is more like a slab of tuna. First time I had it like that as an appetizer and then the server asked how I wanted it cooked which is a first as well on an appetizer. I had the steamed shrimp with the Cajun butter. Very bland. Most definitely needed more seasonings. They just shake the Cajun seasoning on the shrimp so if you dip it in the butter the seasoning just falls off.

Love it. Beautiful view, great food and drinks, nice atmosphere. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. We will be returning! I had the grilled dinner that came with shrimp, salmon, and mussels with rice. It was delicious! And a dozen raw Oysters which were nice and juicy . Can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

Great atmosphere best sunset view from a patio in town! Shrimp basket and grouper sandwich were very good. We’ve been coming here since I was a kid and now I bring my kids here whenever we get back down on vacation. Harpoon Harry’s and Tje Fisherman’s Village are a great tradition for my family and hopefully they’ll bring thier kids one day also.

If you want good food on the water, then this is the place to go! Amazing view, refreshing drinks, great service, what more do you need? It was not to expensive but I do wish we got more for what we paid for with quantity. They have a stage and everything, bar, tables, arcades, it’s all outdoors.

The blackened grouper sandwich was very good! The basket of fried scallops and shrimp is very tender and delicious! The Gator bites were very tender, the best we’ve ever had!! The service was excellent as well. Views of the harbor from every table, with an occasional dolphin sighting. I highly recommend this place located at the end of Fisherman’s Village.

Great waterfront bar and restaurant in Punta Gorda.

This has to be one of the worse experiences eating out I have ever endured. There was 5 of us female all together. Service was extremely slow and they were not busy at all. The server was extremely rude and poor at his job. The salads were full of wilted lettuce and by the time we got our salads and complained we were informed that the pantry was closed. Then my daughter ordered a Rueben on rye and instead upon one bite we found out they gave her a grouper on rye. THANK GOD SHE IS NOT ALLERGIC TO SEAFOOD! When we complained the server went back and realized they had accidently grabbed the wrong sandwich. However when he did bring out the right sandwich there were no fries and again she could not get more since the pantry was closed. Also the sweet tea is Lipton powder mixture, disgusting. They closed at 9 that evening, we arrive there at 7:00 so the face that the food was cold, wilted , dried out, and is unavailable is completely unacceptable. Lastly with all of these issues the server did not issue any discounts or remove any of the charges you for the wrong sandwich, no fries, switching the tea to water, NOTHING!! Also the bathrooms were ATROCIOUS.

Great restaurant, in the little sleepy town, Punta Gorda. Perching on the bay, reasonable prices, ample rooms, foods are OK, mostly battered dishes. Good place to watch the sunset over the bay. Lots of shops around in the fisherman village.
