Harbor House

Been craving crab legs for a minute, and sadly most Chinese buffets no longer include crab legs in their dinner buffet (though their quality was often questionable anyways).Harbor House to the rescue. Though a little pricey at $70, it makes up for it by including AYCE salad/soup and hot entrees. Entrees include their amazing marinated London broil, cod, shrimp, chicken wings, and more. The meal also included a baked potato/fries.Crab legs to the main stage! They were tasty, and most tasted very fresh and light versus feeling old and dry. Unlimited lemon wedges and clarified butter, also.I will definitely be back when that crab leg craving hits!

We came here before the Lions Thursday night game. We didn't have reservations but we were able to sit at the bar and have the full menu. It was so cold outside and every other place had 45+min wait....The place is dark but decorated very nice. We sat at the bar and we were greeted immediately and asked what we wanted to drink. Our drinks came out quickly and the bar tender was so nice she gave us some recommendations (knowing that we weren't locals). My man got the catfish bites (appetizer) and a bowl of gumbo. I got a side house salad (it wasn't that big but just enough), and onion rings. The bartender told us they make their own batter and oh wow were they good!The place filled up fast and I could hear the hostess as everyone if they had a reservation. I think this is the happening spot before a game.....they definitely had regulars there!Glad we went..food and service was great!The only negative was the bread they gave us...it seemed old, flaky and hard...

Detroit Classic close to Ford Field and Comerica. The Icelandic Cod was Perfect but the people watching post game is phenomenal! Very friendly and efficient staff. Cool place with solid food!

They are shady with gratuity ! They totally add it right to your bill still . This must tip x amount is sick , i won't return until that's removed

My mother and I had concert tickets at the Music Hall and wanted to find a good restaurant within walking distance to the venue where we could eat and drink. Harbor House popped up and we both looked at each other and said Harbor House? I've passed it by several times and never noticed it. The reviews looked good and the food looked even better. While it is more seafood focused, the steaks are legit. I ordered a ribeye medium rare. It came out closer to medium which is still fine to me. I tend to order medium rare just for this reason. Every cook is different and their version of medium rare can vary. Our waitress suggested a side of zip sauce for the steak. Their zip sauce is delicious and definitely the best I've ever had. Including from high-end steakhouses. My mom ordered the crab stuffed salmon and it was excellent. The portion was huge. I feel like we could have shared the plate and still had leftovers. Our meals came with a dinner salad with and fresh bread. In addition to a side of your choice. I opted for steam broccoli and my mom chose Jasmine rice. We set up at the bar and enjoyed the ambience. The drinks were strong and reasonably priced. I had a Kettle One dirty martini for $10. Not sure but we may have been on happy hour. Either way for a downtown restaurant the prices were reasonable and the food was great. The only reason for four stars instead of five was the service was a little lackluster. We waited for a good 10 minutes before we were acknowledged. Then another five minutes before our waitress brought us a menu or our drink order. Not the end of the world but for it being an early dinner and not very busy the service could've been a little more attentive. Either way Harbor House was a great find with the location accessible to so many downtown venues.

Harbor house is more of an upscale restaurant. That sells top choice steak and seafood. It is a bit pricey but we'll worth the price. To drink I ordered the jumbo original margarita. Only $9 for a 24oz, and it was very strong. For an entree I ordered the double catfish Cajun fried with a Caesar Salad and an baked potato. The catfish wasn't too spicy and it was fried and seasoned perfectly. The baked potato came with butter and sour cream I ordered cheese on the side. My friend ordered three crab cakes for an entree that came with a mustard aoli sauce. Everything was delicious. Our server was very attentive and she was very helpful wand patient with our questions and taking our orders $$$ - pretty pricey 10/10 Worth it

The historic look could worry you upon walking in but let me tell you. It's worth every penny to sit and eat.The food was great, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Came to try this place on father's day. Made a reservation and was seated promptly. The website mentions they have lot parking, doesn't mention there is a cash only charge for it. Destiny was our server and she was personable. For some reason drinks aren't listed on the menu. why? Quick line about serving pepsi products will save your servers from repeating it to every customer. We start with bread and a cinnamon butter creation. It's ok if your into that. We were not. Next we had salads. Rather than apply the dressing to the salad they bring all these small individual containers of dressing. Seems like such an unnecessary waste. The fathers all had steak and shrimp which they seemed to enjoy. I had the shrimp scampi pasta. It was really just shrimp and pasta, no scampi flavor at all. I ended up taking all of this home to properly season it. This restaurant also adds 20% gratuity. I have no issue with tipping however... If your adding a mandatory gratuity make it well known from the start before ordering. Don't bring me a receipt to sign with a tip line when you've already included that. Additionally, when your server brings the final bill to sign bring back the detailed version so we can see the items charged at the same time. This seems a bit sneaky and an attempt to gain additional tip money.

Not a romantic location, but a nice place to eat. Service was quick and polite. Gumbo was phenomenal. Fried catfish was big and cooked to perfection. Also had some grilled catfish which was so good. The only negative that I would give is, Didn't like the bread they gave us and the cinnamon honey butter that goes with the bread was frozen solid

We dined here twice before and it was a nice experience, however this time we invited our son whom was home from the military to visit during the holidays, and the experience was very disappointing to me. The table was broken with a wobbly leg, the waitress was somewhat rude as she yelled "I'll be right with you" in a harsh tone when I held up my hand to get her attention... It felt embarrassing, and the food was just okay, I ordered a Caesar salad, but the lettuce was welted and doused in ranch dressing (see photo below). I try to eat it however it was not eatable. This is too bad because it seems the place is going downhill.
