    I really used to love this restaurant..good but not as good as they used to be. Nice atmosphere..food ok but not worth the price.

    Fantastic spot for seafood. Great service and quality of food are fantastic! They also accommodated my dairy allergy by substituting their cream sauce for a tomato based one.

    I had my first lobster Thermador her; I was blown away. The next time, around lunchtime, I had the tuna melt, I had the same experience. The chef cooks with love, and the staffs are excellent.

    We were in the mood for see food and found this place in the listings. The is a fun little restaurant with Martime decor. Service was fast and friendly.... Definitely better than the average. The food was fabulous....I give it five stars. I know you might question that but you must try it. The food is give stars, the service is fine stars. We had the Bermuda triangle (scallops, shrimp and wahoo) and the coconut shrimp. Worth the time, worth the stop, this won't disappoint.

    The food was good. Standard seafood restaurant decor and menu. I felt the while time like i had been transported to the 90’s.

  • 3/5 carl u. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was good. Would have been 4 stars but ordered sodas which they asked if we wanted refills. Would have been OK, but they didn't say they charged per drink. $60 later we found out on the bill. They could have, and should have given us a heads-up. Just shabby....

    Hadn’t been in a while so popped in for Restaurant Weeks. Good decision. The food was very good and so was the service. Can’t get the signature lobster dishes on the restaurant weeks price breaks but I was still satisfied.

  • 5/5 Amelia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, friendly staff and reasonably priced for Bermuda! Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Chih-Ping L. 1 year ago on Google
    The fish chowder was amazing. The service was also very good.

  • 5/5 Roman C. 5 years ago on Google
    Good visit with the kids for prompt friendly service in Hamilton.

  • 4/5 Ceci Bernard L. 4 years ago on Google
    Long standing and established seafood menu, won't let you down, good food, good staff and good prices. There are good things for meat lovers, too.

  • 5/5 Serdar D. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool place. We ate lobster. It was very good and all sides also. Staff is very friendly. Price was reasonable. It was a really good dinner.

  • 3/5 Thomas H. 4 years ago on Google
    The rock fish was cooked very well as was the fish and chips. The portion on the mashed potatoes were quite small. The reason I gave them 3 stars is because the hostess/manager was very inhospitable. They should really hire a much more friendly person to be a hostess and keep that lady hidden as the manager. It's two separate jobs.

    Friendly service, great food

  • 5/5 Paul F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to sit, eat and watch the world go bye. Food really good an amazing service.

  • 5/5 Tony G. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best places we've found in Hamilton. Food is delicious, service was good, portion sizes are generous, and we were able to get a table for 2 without a reservation on a Saturday night. Food is also reasonably priced by Bermuda standards.

  • 3/5 Zuhaila H. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit. Food couldv'e been better however desert was very delicious.

  • 5/5 Brian D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice meal. Friendly staff and reasonable prices by local standards. Many seafood options and preparations but I of course enjoyed lobster! 🦞

  • 5/5 Sabrina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Only place for the local Bermudian lobster! Wholesome comfort food, favourite family diner!

  • 3/5 Shellon Mayers (Hannah b. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is just about average. The famous banana fritters was the best part of my meal.

  • 5/5 Alex Madeiros J. 1 year ago on Google
    Best service and Seafood anywhere in Bermuda. I personally enjoy the Conch Chowder and the Onion Soup is the best. Whether local or a visitor, you must experience the Lobster Pot.

  • 4/5 Kevin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Their lobster is unique and tasty. The atmosphere is more like a bar mixed with restaurant. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with the host. Food came quick and atmosphere is very relaxing.

  • 2/5 Carla P. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is quite original but food is average. Lobster was not memorable and it had meatloaf inside which was not stated in the menu. I ordered a Caprese salad quite small and tasteless. Kids menu were just okay. Service was nice.

  • 5/5 Colleen W. 11 months ago on Google
    Stopped by on a rainy Wednesday afternoon for lunch. We had the most impeccable food and even better service. Ask for Kai, his quick wit, knowledge and attentiveness made our experience one to remember.

  • 1/5 Stig M. 10 months ago on Google
    I have to say this was the worst dinner I have had all year. My brother showed up, SLOSHED, with two friends who were also SLOSHED, and it just ruined the whole night. I couldn't even enjoy my food. And the food wasn't that good anyway. How could they let someone that drunk into their establishment to continue drinking? I know he's a bit of a rough-around-the-edges kind of guy but someone has to stand up to guys like that once in a while or they never learn their lesson. Lobster Pot is not the hero we need or at least it wasn't that un-fateful night.

  • 4/5 D M. 3 months ago on Google New
    The menu wasn’t clear for the shrimp, crab, and lobster cake. I thought everything was going to be made individually but it wasn’t

  • 5/5 Michael K. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious! The "Famous Fish Chowder" lived up to its name. I could have eaten a very large bowl of it. My wahoo sandwich and my wife's salmon meal were big perfect! 👌 Great spot for quality seafood and more with a large variety of options!

  • 3/5 Amanda & J. 7 months ago on Google
    Delightful welcome, and nice freshly prepared food. Sadly let down by tired building and poorly trained staff.

  • 5/5 A. Seth M. 6 months ago on Google
    September is the start of Bermudian Lobster season (through to March). So, when we land in Dockyards, we had to take the ferry to Hamilton to go to the Lobster Pot. We could have had a half of a lobster apiece. But, we're in Bermuda and it's spiny lobster season. So, we each had a whole lobster. These things are monsters, over 2 pounds of delicious firm meat - they're almost all tail...so,who needs claws? The staff is friendly, helpful, and pleasant.

  • 2/5 Ricky Clay J. 8 months ago on Google
    The conch chowder tasted like gumbo, really good. The wahoo goujons were so greasy and dry and overcooked I couldn’t eat it. Hot tartar doesn’t help that. The hopn John with my wife’s fish was super dry and tasted like la Choy soy sauce (caramel coloring). Really hard to enjoy the meal. Would not recommend

  • 5/5 Michael McCray J. 4 years ago on Google
    My son, who's 9 and loves seafood, found this place as we were hungry and searching for something filling to eat in Hamilton. This place definately stood out and was delicious. The calamari was amazing as were the rich shrimp, scallops, etc. It was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. We find everything in Bermuda to be pricey. That's saying a lot being that we reside in NY. My family and I left full and satisfied. My son requested calamari the next day 😊😋. Highly recommended!!!

    Portion sizes were a bit small but the staff was very friendly. Desserts were the best part of the meal.

  • 3/5 Julie B. 4 years ago on Google
    The services I received during my visit was a little disappointing. The gentleman that served us didn't do a good job checking on us. I needed a bowl to share my delicious salad. It was so good I wanted to share it for other folk to order next visit. I was told by a server she was busy taking an order. Wow there was a bus girl at same table pouring water. She was too busy to help me also. After waiting for someone else to finally pass close to my table I waved for help since my server was never visible. Then after eating my salad my server took my knife and I was left without a knife to eat my main course. It took me several minutes to finally get the bus girl to bring me a knife while my meal is getting colder for the long wait for a knife which caused the ordered wahoo to taste a little over cooked as it got closer to a warm to cold temperature. Services was below sub standard. When my meal was served I didn't know the knife taken away wasn't going to be replaced with a clean one. To be told I'm busy taking an order was the biggest turn off. Of course you are busy the time you took to rudely speak that you could have used same time to find out what I Needed. This is nothing close to satisfactory customer service. I always visit this restaurant instead I'm telling folk how much I was poorly treated and they have gone down in customer services. He stood behind me to tell us their specials I couldn't hear him and had to turn halfway round to see and hear him. I asked him to come closer to middle of table and speak louder as the dining area was already a little loud with folk celebrating birthdays. Told the hotel concierge desk I do not want to book dinner with them again My experience was very very disappointing and my meal wasn't far off from mediocre. I felt my server wasn't to interested in delivering service Step up on your customer services no excuses failure to paying attention to detail doesn't help when it was very challenging to find and prompt any server visible since assigned server never did his best job as a waiter.

  • 5/5 Serap B. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely cosy restaurant. Loved the see food. The staff was very friendly. Got same day reservations both times we visited. It is a busy restaurant with great cocktails and great tasting food. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Thomas R. 6 years ago on Google
    Good spot with very good food. But there are other places that are comparable for cheaper. In my opinion.. i.e. ascots

  • 5/5 Dustin M. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 sonat o. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious seafood and pasta options, good cocktails and coffees, excellent service and great decoration. Been there twice in my ten day trip to Bermuda and I'll definitely go back in the future. Highly recommended.

  • 2/5 James Waterman I. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is mediocre at best, no views of anything and prices are outrageous.

  • 5/5 Lyssa S. 3 years ago on Google
    Best french onion soup always. Great service. A Bermudian classic favourite!!

    Make sure you try the fish chowder!

  • 3/5 Mike Z. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was fine, nothing wrong with it but nothing special.

  • 5/5 brad h. 4 years ago on Google
    The good conch chowder I was looking for in Hamilton

  • 3/5 Steven H. 4 years ago on Google
    The seafood chowder was full of corn starch. Harborfront is the best.

  • 4/5 Alexandra Track A. 4 years ago on Google
    The staff here are very friendly. We never had to wave anyone down for anything as staff would always be nearby, willing to assist and checking on us. It is for this reason that I think Lobster Pot deserves 4stars because I unfortunately found the food to be pretty disappointing— not the freshest tasting seafood and the space itself is a little kitschy.

  • 4/5 Subhasis D. 4 years ago on Google
    Reasonably priced, good seafood dishes

  • 5/5 Jennifer E. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, great service. :)

  • 2/5 Cynthia B. 4 years ago on Google
    Not thrilled. It was like eating a meal with my grandmother. The food was bland with no seasoning. Big disappointment.

  • 5/5 Mark H. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was amazing. The food was to die for. A tip: order the local lobster, it’s more value for money. I ordered the Mac and cheese side... another star choice. The sweet potato fries were good, some slightly over cooked but not that serious.

  • 5/5 Al B. 4 years ago on Google
    Except chef who also helps me at my resort 👍🏼

  • 3/5 Steven D. 4 years ago on Google
    Ok good food, usual Bermuda overpricing.

  • 4/5 Laura M. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was decent and good service. My only issue was that the bonita I ordered was absolutely swimming in butter... flavor was good, but it might as well have been chicken in there, 'cause you couldn't taste the fish.

  • 5/5 R C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious

  • 4/5 Finn A. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended by our taxi drivers. It was good but incredibly expensive. I suppose most things are on this island.

👍👍 Everything is 5-star at Harry’s. Food, cocktails, service. The bartender, in particular, is awesome - very knowledgable and friendly. The most recent time we stopped by for a mezcal sour and a whiskey sour. The whiskey sour is the best I’ve had in Bermuda. Couple months back, I enjoyed a boozy lunch...
