Snug Harbour Seafood Bar and Grill

We went to this restaurant for my moms birthday and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! We stopped in for a later lunch and even though the restaurant was super busy we were seated immediately.
Situated on a bank of an inlet to the lake, this restaurant offers gorgeous views while you dine. The décor inside is very modern and clean and the staff are friendly.
I had a chicken Dijonaise which was breaded and came in a mushroom white wine sauce with vegetables and a choice of either potatoes of the day or rice. It was deliciously cooked and I would definitely recommend. Everyone else in our party were equally impressed with their choices.
For desert I had the key lime pie which was more of a mouse come cheesecake but still very good. I’d try something different next time though.
Overall we had a great experience, the only negatives really being the noise inside when the restaurant was busy (the acoustics aren’t the best). Can’t wait to return!

If you’re looking for an outdoor patio on lakeshore with a view of the lake, I highly recommend this restaurant. The calamari was amazing ⁵⁄₅ and the perfect amount to share between two people. The Oysters were really good as well ⁵⁄₅

Been here twice and I loved it both times! I got the whitefish and it was so delicious! And our server was on so delightful, made sure we were taken care of! =) definitely highly recommended! We ate on the patio but inside they have live music which I thought was very enjoyable, the energy was all good vibes.

The location and view (proximity to water) are the only real selling features here. The food was mediocre, especially for the price. Our server was nice, but spacey. Our oyster app didn’t come out prior to our mains and she seemed confused that we would want to wait and have them after rather than just crowding our table with late appetizers. They weren’t well shucked either. The server wasn’t really aware of what was happening at our table, like order of food arrival or a need for refills. We wouldn’t come back.

Great location, and good service.
The food is average at best, and certainly over priced, for the quality.
This was my third visit over the years.
We ordered the following:
Steamed Trout, Blackened catfish, coconut shrimp, and oysters.
The side veggies and rice, are especially bland.
This place could be much better with a bit off work, otherwise, over priced for what you get.

Very Disappointing. NEVER GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. Our recent visit on Mother’s Day has totally put me off. I have to be honest and I hate to criticize but the service was very poor… I put it down it was Mother’s day and they were busy but its still no excuse. After waiting for 1 hour we got the table outside in patio. But we realised it will be cold later in evening for 3 year old kid who was joining us too. We decided to move the table inside. As the place was getting busy we were told to be in queue and was given a pager. After about hour an half the lady manager came to us and told us you won’t get the table as you are not our priority and the people standing outside is our priority. That didn’t make sense as we had pager like the people standing outside. And we were not informed about this first. At that point it felt like lady manager was discriminating as were only the brown/​south Asian in the restaurant. And on top of this Mr Roy Clifton who introduced himself owner of the restaurant didn’t know how to handle the situation and told us to leave. Well obviously we were not going to sit in cold and take all the humiliation that we received from the Snug Harbour owner and the crew. On top of this ciaos we didn’t even mention to Mr Roy Clifton that cat fish ordered was stale and didn’t taste good at all, we also found human hair in one of the desert. At the end we paid more than $ 400.00 bill and walked out unhappy/​disappointed.

Came here on our first date and have been waiting for the opportunity to come back. This time we took my sister and her daughter as a late birthday brunch. The view is really great no matter the occasion and the open concept allows for a lot of natural sunlight to beam through the restaurant. The hostess was going to seat us somewhere off to the side, but on the way there she was told to place us ocean view, which was appreciated.
We started with the calamari, crab cakes and half a dozen oysters. The calamari was crispy and the portion was pretty big. The crab cakes were okay, nothing too special, and the oysters were fresh. I wanted to get the lobster sandwich but they unfortunately we’re out, so I got the fish and chips, girlfriend got the seafood ravioli and sister got fish tortillas. Overall, the flavour was there, especially with the fish/​seafood. The best dish was my girlfriends seafood ravioli, so I ended up dipping my fish in the sauce.
The service was good. Our waitress was friendly and almost always there when we needed her. It gets really busy in the summer and they don’t take reservations. Definitely a great place!

Came to have a belated bday lunch with my brother and his gf today. It’s such a nice place by the lake in Port Credit.
First off, it’s nice to have free parking when you go anywhere, so free parking to eat here is a plus.
Food…everything we got was pretty good. I think the best thing we got out of all of our meals was my brother’s gf’s choice of the seafood ravioli. The sauce had great flavour and you can taste the seafood in it. Our apps were crab cakes, calamari and oyster. I got the fish tortilla, brother got fish and chips and my daughter got chicken fingers and fries. Fries were good, thick cut and crispy!
Atmosphere…very open and lots of windows to get the nice views of the water. They have open/​enclosed patio seating with heaters. Very elegant and classy looking dining area and bar with a nice glass wine shelf wall by the entrance.
Service…our server was the utmost pleasant person. Very friendly and attended us time to time. I wish I remembered her name… bad habit of mine.
I’d definitely come back again, possibly at night time to see how different it looks or day time… whatever lol it’s a cute spot by the waters and you can soak in the view.

I went to this restaurant hoping for a nice dinner by the water with some friends. I was very surprised about how rude the servers and bussers were, they were giving my friends and I rude looks as they talked by the counter so we assumed they were talking about us.
The food was pretty good, I had the seafood pescatore and it was delicious the calamari was also delicious because of the dipping sauce but the calamari itself was a little cold. My friend had a salad with salmon in it and she said the salmon was pretty dry but still good.
Overall the food was good, the view was nice but the staff made the experience a little uncomfortable.

We had a great meal tonight. Party of 3. Ordered 18 oysters, couple of glasses of white wine, a filet mignon dinner, tiger prawn dinner and pickerel dinner.
Everything was prepared perfectly. The waitress was really nice. The oysters were amazing. I think this is THE place in Mississauga to enjoy a calming lake view, a glass of wine and fresh oysters.
Took one star off because the sides were the same for all 3 entrees.

Really, being by the water this place is not bad for the price you pay! Took my gf here for her birthday and it definitely did not disappoint. Perfect date night romance wine and dine type of place. Make sure you come here and get seated on the patio and watch the sunset! Finding parking here was a struggle though, just an FYI.

Atmosphere: Loved the atmosphere here. They had a live jazz band playing which was really nice and relaxing. We got seated outside as we requested for the best seats in the house =). Didnt get to enjoy the jazz music but definately got to soak in some habour viewing. It was too bad we came here when it was dark already. This would make such a lovely view if it were during sunset timing.
Price: The price is actually not too bad. Same as what you would pay at the larger franchises like Keg etc. My friend and I ate a bit before coming here so we only ordered a starter and a main to share. The price was around $ 60 tax and tip included.
Presentation: Their presentation is nothing out of the ordinary, so I have nothing to highlight here.
Taste: Taste was a bit of a hit and miss. The crab cake we order was absolutely scrumptious! The seafood pot was alright… it needed a bit more flavour it seems.
Portion: Portions are about average I would say. The server gave us some good recommendations on what to order based on our appetite.
Service: Was greeted right away upon arrival. Asked for the best seat in the house and they quickly sat us on the patio by the water. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable but they don’t really come around often if you are sitting outside on the patio so that was a downer a bit on service time.

My three friends and I decided to stop in for a bite during Port Credit’s Busker Fest! It was a beautiful, sunny, Sunday afternoon and it was so worth the 45-​minute wait to sit out on the patio. You can just sit back, relax by the water and watch the boats go by — such a laid back vibe.
The restaurant was modern and very clean. Prices were excellent, given the location and our server, Aimee, was very friendly and attentive.
I had the grouper sandwich with a side caesar salad — fish was fresh and cooked to perfection and served on a perfect soft bun; caesar salad was alright but nothing to write home about. One of my friends ordered the fish tortilla (fish tacos), which I would have gotten but, the way the menu described it, I thought it was a wrap. Anyway, she loved it! Next time for sure I’ll get it. We saw a lot of customers ordering fresh oysters and they looked so delicious. We passed on it though because we were all driving and figured oysters need to washed down with a lot of martinis! Again, next time. I would really recommend the french fires (with gravy) as they were just out of this world and had a longer life span than your typical 10-​minute french fries — so great for sharing!
If you’re looking to just hang out with friends, a romantic date or even have out of town guests, I would seriously recommend coming here. We had such a great time!

Was concerned the seafood wouldn’t be as good because they don’t have the highest rating — but I was actually fairly impressed. Especially with my BFs Seafood Bouillabaisse; initially I was concerned about him ordering that because it’s easy to mess up, but — these guys did a great job! I also enjoyed my Seafood Pescatore — seafood and sauce was on point but pasta was slightly off al dente.
Service was nice enough. We weren’t able to secure tables on the patio as we arrived Saturday in the afternoon — but we didn’t mind either way.
Although the resto offers free parking, good luck securing a spot! I guess everyone must know about this free parking secret because we barely found a spot and most people were being turned away.

My 2^nd time coming here. This time I will just give rating for their food.
The restaurant just have this wonderful view and nice breeze if seating outside at the patio. The food was alright and it was nothing special like my first visit as well. I tried their lobster roll this time, and I think it tasted kind of bland, but it had tons of lobster meat inside. I also had their fish and chips, and I think the fresh cut fries was more stand out than the fish. Also, there was this small piece of bread came with my fish and chips, but it was super hard. I didn’t eat and just put it back on my plate. Something this hard shouldn’t be on the plate as food.

In Mississauga, options for waterside drinks are somewhat limited. Snug Harbour has a fairly sizable outdoor patio that edges onto the water, and is a pretty sweet environment for a cool drink on a hot day.
I just wish they would change the radio station from that cloying generic country music…

Everything about this restaurant is great… Except the bland food. Everything tastes like it was dusted with a magical blandness that would be impossible to find elsewhere.
The fish is rubbery, chicken is overcooked, veggies are limp, and all of the above are screaming for salt and spice. Salads are all bagged variants with no flair or soul.
Do yourself a favor and skip the meal. Stick to having drinks on the amazing lake view patio. The servers are top notch and the drink selection is nice enough for a hot summer day.

The servers are all so well trained. Thank you for your service, Brit! I feel like I’m on holiday every time I come here, rain or shine. I love the calamari, great for everyone! If u like seafood. the cat fish is well done so are the mussels!
I see it like this; if I’m up for a classy dinning experience I’d like to have great food and a spectacular view too!

I usually come to Snug Harbor when I’m craving pasta. When my boyfriend and I went, he got the Seafood pasta, while I got the Chicken pasta. My Chicken pasta was tasty, but the Seafood pasta is amazing… highly recommended! I’m definitely getting that the next time I visit Snug Harbor. We also ordered the Clam Chowder as a starter, which was also delicious.
Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Our clam chowder apparently did not come out on time and before we even noticed, the waitress came forward to ask us if we received our clam chowder even though we never asked about it. After we responded, she immediately apologized and offered us the clam chowder on the house! It was a totally unexpected treat for us.
I also know many friends who come to Snug Harbor for their oysters. The restaurant is dim lit and has an intimate atmosphere. In the Summer, their outdoor patio is great for enjoying the view/​weather.

I came here on a Saturday mid morning looking forward to their amazing brunch menu! Unfortunate to say they only offer it during the winter months!
Low and behold me and my girlfriends were hungry so we decided to have regular lunch, and we definitely weren’t disappointed.
We had:
Calamari
Fish n chips
Toasted Brie
Mussels
Crab cakes
Favourite was definitely the toasted Brie! Totally on point.
The portions were very large, we ended up over ordering more than we could eat. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. The fish n chips especially were well battered and flaky to touch.
The service here was attentive and helpful. From beginning to end we felt the welcome and warm attitude that each server had.
The ambience is great! We sat on the patio situated on the lake, on a clear day you can see the lovely view of the lakes.
Definitely a go to if you’re looking for a nice patio to hang at!
Another solid restaurant to add to port credits great collection!

Arrived at 1pm for a late lunch, and outdoor tables were a 30 minute wait. Noooo!
Service was quick for the most part, plenty of staff, and attentive.
We had the 2pc fish & chips, mussels in marinara, and the smoked salmon pizza.
The pieces of battered fish was HUMUNGUOUS. They gave a one piece option (2pc was only $ 3 more) but unfortunately we were ordering with our greedy eyes and not our stomachs.
The pot of mussels were super filling itself already, but so so good.
I couldn’t help ordering the pizza; smoked salmon anything is good for me! The pizza came almost completely covered with salmon & artichokes. Mmmm mmmm. Only downside, the bottom of the pizza was slightly soggy.
Great experience overall! Would definitely come back. Next time if I get pizza, I’d get it well done.
