Beautiful restaurant located on Lake Michigan. Our family had a great dining experience here. The service was top-notch and the seafood tasted fresh. However, on Sundays, they only serve course meals. If you want an a la carte meal on Sunday, you have to sit in the bar area. I’m not a big fan of choosing course meals, but my family had a great time selecting from the appetizer, entree, and dessert course menus.

I had Wilber and Tony, and they were just amazing! I came to celebrate with my family my graduation dinner and they were really understanding of some language barriers and questions going on. The food was really good as well and they were flexible with the changes on the side for my plate. After the good service and food, we got some complementary drinks and a dessert to congratulate me for my graduation! I really loved my experience here and will be coming back most likely asking for the same servers because I loved their energy!

It was such an amazing experience! The place is dreamy with a unique view. Add to that, the staff is incredibly talented, and you can truly feel the team spirit among them. When we entered, Megan fulfilled our request of a table by the window with a sea view. Then we received a top-notch service, thanks to the team of Kate and Corey. Kate asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, and when we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, the entire experience became even more memorable. We arrived around sunset for dinner and were very hungry, so we decided to skip the appetizers and go straight for the main courses, leaving room for dessert because a place like this surely had to have a dessert worth trying. When the main courses arrived, we were surprised by the generous portions—so big that they were perfect for sharing. We ordered two dishes, “Bay of Fundy Salmon” and “18oz Black Angus Ribeye”, and each one was better than the other; we couldn’t decide which one was the best. We asked for the dessert menu, and here came the delightful surprise: alongside the menu, they brought us a lava cake with ice cream to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture from the restaurant, showing they genuinely care about making their customers happy. We left feeling truly content, and this experience is definitely worth repeating! Apologies for the long review, but the experience was absolutely worth the praise!

Excellent dining experience with family on Easter Sunday. Receptionist/servers were top notch professionals. Food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We had two servers who came to the table often. I feel this is a top-tier dining establishment as their menu item prices reflected. Easter 3 course menu available only this day, But was well worth it which includes lakeside view and outdoor dining weather permitting. Great place, will return no doubt.

Met all of my high expectations. Really appreciated a non alcoholic drink menu. We had chop salad, muscles, filet and creme brulee. Was all fantastic. The chop salad was really amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful, and service top tier. Fantastic option for a special meal.

The harbor house is a wonderful place to have a unique experience. The food was good however some of what we ate had a fishy taste. Granted the Harbor House prides itself on being a fresh fish restaurant but still good seafood should never taste fishy. Also be prepared to spend my daughter gave me a 150. Gift certificate and we were a table of 6 but our bill was over 500. so beware.

I made our reservations for my husband and I with adding that we were coming to celebrate his birthday. We arrived with a card from them and a complimentary dessert after our amazing meal. My husband had never been here before and was in complete awe how gorgeous it was and how hard working all the staff was. He continuously mentioned how much the staff was constantly on the move and busting a. Always a pleasant experience at the Harbor House.
