Harpoon Harry's, Seafood restaurant on Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda, US.
Harpoon Harry's is a seafood and American restaurant sitting on the edge of Charlotte Harbor in Punta Gorda, Florida. The building has three separate bars and an open dining deck that faces the water directly.
The restaurant opened in 1993 and over the years became one of the main waterfront spots in Punta Gorda. It later joined a larger hospitality group while keeping its ties to the local harbor community.
The menu at Harpoon Harry's leans on local Florida seafood, with dishes like Key West conch fritters and grouper prepared in several ways. Sitting on the open deck, you can see where the ingredients come from, as fishing boats pass right in front of you.
The restaurant sits along West Retta Esplanade and is easy to reach on foot from downtown Punta Gorda. On sunny days the outdoor deck fills up fast, so arriving early or reserving a table is a good idea.
The restaurant is positioned right next to a docking area, so boats can pull up and guests arriving by water can step off almost directly onto the property. This makes it one of the few spots in town where you can arrive for dinner by boat.
