Harbor House

Staff recognized the "anniversary" note made with the reservation. Service was prompt, courteous and efficient from the bartender (Joe) who served us for our pre-meal calamari and cocktails - to the team of waiters (Andrew and Alex) who served us our main courses consisting of soups and entrees. From our selections, we highly recommend the calamari and the scallop entree. The sangria was tasty, and they had a selection of local beers to try. Restaurant sits on Lake Michigan and had wonderful views. The interior had a warm holiday decor that provided for a classy and intimate vibe.

Dropped by for a bachelorette and the food and service was AMAZING. The view of the lake was absolutely beautiful.Our two servers were amazing. Very knowledgeable about the food that they serve and were on top of the table at all times. Never had to ask for anything because they knew exactly what we needed!The food was delicious and would highly highly suggest the scallops!

Absolutely incredible experience! Our servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Their pear martini is the best martini I've had, hands down! They use true pears to flavor it and I couldn't recommend it more. We ordered the chef's oysters and they were to die for. For dinner we ordered the fillet with lobstertail and the scallops. Everything was done perfectly to our liking. Harbor house is an upscale with dining experience with a bar area as well. The view of the water is stunning, I can't wait to go in the warmer season.

Came here with family and was blown away by how beautiful this place is! The food was fresh and delicious, and the views were absolutely stunning. The service was top-notch, making for a fantastic dining experience. We always enjoy appetizers, dinner, and dessert when we visit. It's a bit pricey, but the overall experience, especially with the amazing views, is definitely worth it! Will be back!

Talk about a restaurant with everything 5 stars!The food, the service and the ambiance of this place was absolutely amazing!They had a very nice cocktail menu that had different liquor based drinks so those who like a good cocktail have some options. The food menu was a good size with many different options, but probably the hardest part of the whole night. I couldn't make a decision so I of course went with the fish special. The food was amazing and just watching the waves on Lake Michigan was a perfect night. We overlooked the dessert menu and my coworker saw that they offered chartreuse as a digestif. We ordered a glass for us all to try and ordered affogatos all around that were prepared table side. An amazing dinner with great company!

The aesthetic here is 10/10! We always have great service whenever we come as well, but the prices can be pretty steep and deters us from coming too often.

Nine years since my last review, so an update is in order. I've dined here a few times since, and I usually get their Lobster Roll, which is pretty solid and is now available two ways: cold lobster or warm lobster. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Soft Shell Crab because it's in season. They serve it tempura battered, and the seasoning in the batter was subtle enough to allow the flavor of the crab to stand out. My entree was King Crab Legs, that normally comes with red potatoes, but I substituted with lemon & asparagus risotto. I had to send the dish back because the risotto was clumpy (there was actually a ball of clumped up risotto on the plate). They quickly made me a fresh order of risotto and it was great!I'm a big fan of carrot cake, but I'm not a big fan of refrigerated bakery because it dries out. Since carrot cake has a cream cheese frosting, it has to be stored refrigerated. This slice was good. It was just a tad dry, but the thick layer of frosting made up for it. My server was Joe, and he was excellent! Plus, I sat at one of the high tops along the window to enjoy the great view of the lakefront skyline!I hope to get back soon for a lobster roll and some oysters. I wish their happy hour went until 6:00. I work until 5:00, so their literal one hour happy hour (4:00-5:00) doesn't work for me. :(

Another fantastic celebratory dinner at Harbor House - great table, delicious food and drink, and excellent service from start to finish! Opted for charred octopus as an appetizer which was fresh and cooked perfectly. Dinner was also outstanding. Will always recommend Harbor House to friends/family for any special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary or big life event!

Beautiful restaurant with windows all around overlooking Lake Michigan. The service was great from start to finish, including the hostess, all the waiters that walk past, the group servers... everyone. The calamari was a perfect batch, every piece was tender and slightly chewy, and the tartare was very fresh and delicious with a very fresh seaweed salad. The wedge salad had a lot of bacon and the blue cheese was a pinch less pungent (the way I like it), however the lobster you see is what's inside the roll. It was the smallest amount of lobster I've ever received on a lobster roll. I would have been more disappointed if I didn't have so many apps. It was a great experience and I would go back to try something new as my main course.

I'm surprised that this place has any negative reviews because my girlfriend and I just had dinner here for the first time on a Friday night on Valentines Day -- Mind you. The service was impeccable and the food was off the charts. Props to the head chef for the creativity and inspiring flavors. The lobster tails were arguably top 3 tasting I've ever had. My girlfriend was left breath taken by the creme brulee, her all time favorite dessert. We're Chicago natives who enjoy the Milwaukee food scene and we will definitely be back over the warmer months to get w glimpse of the lake as this time around it was frozen! Still a beautiful atmosphere!10/10 recommend.
