Harborside

Drinks ( pomegranate martini), steaks and service was top notch, would definitely return. With that said let's talk about nickle and dining at a nice restaurant. Both of us had 8oz tenderloins with mushrooms, I expected an extra charge for the mushrooms, but from the looks of it they split a can of mushrooms between us. Then my partner orders French onion soup with bread and cheese...that's what French onion soup is...there was an extra charge on her bill of $.75 for the cheese and bread....lmao.

Back to five stars. The pan fried walleye is some of the best walleye I have had. Two big fillets, tasty breading, tender and flavorful. I had it with wild rice, which was pretty good. I'll order the fish fry again! My hubby loved his burger again. It is huge!

I'd give anything to delete a one-time less than 5* review. Why? Things happen. Mistakes happen, that was almost 5 years ago and they've been PERFECT ever since. Steaks, burgers, pasta, homemade sauces, cocktails , appetizers, FRESH Seafood! Most of all? The staff. My only request for any Supper Club type restaurant? Salad Bar! Oh well .. can't have everything!

All the staff members and servers were amazing- super helpful and friendly !Our food was superb! My meal began with tomato basil soup that was so tasty and had a little kick! Next, I had the grilled tuna special Thai chili sauce served with veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. So yummy !My husband thoroughly enjoyed his smash hamburger and steak fries.

I decided instead of going out of town for my birthday I decided to celebrate it here! Got a whiskey sour at the bar and after about 10 minutes I got seated at a table! I ordered mac n' cheese and bacon with chicken on top which was delicious! I then got a rum sour during the end of my meal! The drinks were good and the meal was excellent. They gave me a free dessert for being my birthday and got a piece of chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting which was really good as well! The other choices for dessert were different types of cheesecake. In all, the total cost for my birthday celebration dinner was like around $30 bucks with tip! The only complaint I could really find is that it got kind of noisy with a bunch of high school girls in the upper back making a lot of noise! Other than that, it would a pretty good place to eat and celebrate my birthday! Would recommend!

The City of Manitowoc is not the place it once was, its seems some of the larger businesses that put this city on the map have either downsized or left town in the middle of the night while no one was paying attention. The downtown area and many of the businesses reflect this downturn in the economy and this old steakhouse give one the impression that times were better than there are today. It obvious as soon as you walk through the door that this place is tired, it's dark and mushy and the décor has been outdated for decades. I found the old bar was scattered with a few old timers sipping their draft beers and old-fashions from the same glasses that generations before them have, I doubt anything has changed here since this place first opened it's doors except for the names of the characters pouring the booze and serving the food.We were met upon arriving by a friendly hostess who walked up the step to the dining room like she's done a thousand times before with the same enthusiasm I'm sure. The dim lighting and dark décor is not the ambiance I needed for a business dinner and it's almost as if something was lurking in the darkness and was the subject of our conversation until our server arrived. She was friendly but direct telling us right up front if we ordered certain dishes it could take awhile like she was almost guiding to a lighter fare - well I was told by the hotel concierge that this was an old fashion steakhouse where the meat purveyor brought the beef here with the hoofs still on and that all the steaks were cut to order and the steaks were prime beef and cut thick before being prepared on an old grill that has seen more beef than a cattle drive in the 1870's so I wasn't buying the lighter fare story.I ordered the "sizzler" a mammoth sirloin that was served on a hot platter standing as tall as my drink glass with a pad of steak butter that flowed down the edge of this roast and smoked as it hit the plate below. I ordered it rare after reading the reviews before arriving but it arrived cooked perfectly medium at best, but I must admit it was tender and filled with flavor. Knowing it would be impossible to consume it all I concentrated on the beef and let my half eaten house salad and baked potato lie. Our server checked in from time to time to check on us and even smirked knowing eating this ginormous steak would be near impossible. I felt I was on an episode of Man vs Food and I'd certainly be the loser here. I left with the impression they delivered a good value and that I wouldn't be eating anymore red meat for awhile. This tattered restaurant deserves a visit if your in the area and the lighter fare suggestion may be worth consideration if your not famished...

Its a nice place in a small area, the wait was pretty long for a Saturday. Had to sit at the bar for about 45 mins.

Service- excellent...with a sense of humor! Ambiance- quaint- older but clean Food!- Bleu Cheese Tenderloin- AMAZING! Medium Rare. Perfectly cooked. One of the best we ever had. Would come here again in a heartbeat!

Great supper club! We make it a point to come to Harborside when we visit family in Manitowoc. The drinks, food, service, ambiance and especially prices can't be beat. We have been many times over the years and it is consistently good especially the steaks. Go for dinner! :)

Always do a good job. Attention to detail and customer satisfaction is a commodity that's taken a big hit since the pandemic but Shannon, the owner, runs a tight ship. As restaurants go if you have a good staff you want to showcase their talents and the specials reflect that here. No basic hash slinging here, they've got their act together. Plenty of food at reasonable prices and creatively prepared.
