If you’re looking for a Bermudan steakhouse with a contemporary flair, Harry’s at the Waterfront has a table waiting for you. The traditional steakhouse decor of dark wood paneling, brass fixtures and white tablescapes is nowhere to be found here. Instead, a giant marlin statue oversees a bright and lively outdoor patio area, while inside, modern brown leather chairs, light interiors, punchy red floral arrangements and soft contemporary lighting welcome hungry travelers and locals. A temperature controlled wine room holding 2,000 bottles of wine surrounds a private dining room and provides the perfect atmosphere for an intimate dinner. Many of the wines ensconced in the wine room are exclusive to Harry’s and will challenge and satiate any palate.
The Menu: Focusing on organic ingredients from around the world, chef Bradley Clease has created an extensive menu that is not only complex in flavor but also fun. For lunch try the crab cake sandwich with tropical fruit salsa, or steak sandwich with mushrooms, caramelized onions and truffle mayonnaise. At dinner order the Potted Liver and Foie Gras Terrine served with pickled pear jam and toast points, but don’t forget you came here for some good old-fashioned steak. The aged New York sirloin with pommes frites is straightforward but still known as this Bermuda restaurant’s best offering.
The Must-Have: Try the simple yet satisfying Harry’s Classic, the owner’s favorite meal, which includes iceberg salad, shrimp cocktail, a 14-ounce strip steak, peas and Lady Jessica’s cheesecake. If you still need a dessert fix, the truffle beignets, a trio of fresh made doughnuts filled with chocolate truffles, will appease any sweet tooth.
