Harbor by Samakjé
Cues
Call ahead to check if the hammour or kingfish are running — the restaurant's boats sometimes return empty during rough weather periods. The upstairs terrace gets evening breeze while the ground floor can feel stuffy during summer months.
Insider Cue
Ask for the daily catch board — the kitchen does the freshest fish best. The name Samakjé means 'my fish' in Arabic and the fishing heritage is genuine. Worth the Palm Jumeirah trip specifically for seafood.

Description
Harbor's seafood hits different when you're watching the marina from their terrace—the ceviche and grilled hammour are genuinely worth the premium prices. Book a table on the water side and time it for sunset; the vibe shifts from power-lunch energy to something actually romantic.
