Harbor House

Overall a fair experience. The atmosphere is very nice. People dressed from very casual to very dressed up so either is fine. We had a nice water view from our table. Service was very slow. So slow we didn’t bother to order a second drink because we worried how long it would take. The oysters were great. Sockeye Salmon dry and hot cooked med rare at all. Thought it was overpriced for the quality and presentation of the food.

What a magnificent discovery this exquisite restaurant was to dine at last night. It was highly recommended to us by our hotel waiter. The stroll to it from downtown was delightful. The flower beds to lakefront view is breathtaking. It’s perfectly situated on the harbor and the vistas are superb, service is flawless and cuisine is heavenly.

We had an incredible dining experience at The Harbor house. The views were absolutely breathtaking – the perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal. Our server was fantastic – friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food? Spectacular! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. This place is a must-visit if you’re in the area. We will definitely have to come back next year. 🤍

We had an amazing first trip to the Harbor House. It’s a gorgeous space with indoor and outdoor seating right on the water; you feel like you’re on a ship! The food was impeccable and our server outstanding. She was prompt, attentive, helpful, and came to the table just the right amount. Among our group we tried the filet, shrimp, lobster, and chicken, and all were incredible. We were on cloud nine the whole time and days after! If you can manage, get there!

It was my first time here, we had great service. Originally our reservation was for outdoor seating, but due to the weather and the wind we were seated inside. Even sitting inside we still were able to get a great table with a great view. I would have liked to had ordered something different on the menu but it won't be my last time visiting The Harbor. Our waiter was great, he actually was from the same area that I'm from in lake Geneva. He was really great and attentive. Can't wait for my next visit hopefully it will be outside seating. Thanks for a memorable time

Got to the restaurant an hour early, sat at the bar and ordered drinks and some apps. It was very warm in the restaurant despite staff saying the ac was on. I was flushed so it was very warm. The staff seemed exhausted, understandably with the volume of customers and climate in the restaurant. Host came up to me around reservation time and informed me my table is ready and I could take my time. We finished our app at 734ish and my reservation started at 730…so not a huge difference. We went over to the host stand informed them that we’re ready for our table and they told me they’re still waiting for the table and it will be ready soon. I let them know we rushed to finish our app so that we could get sat and even gave up our seats at the bar. They said it was a miscommunication… we were finally sat about 20 min later. I would say this was the most dissatisfying part of my experience. Food was good, but not great. Looked a little dried out, maybe sitting under the heat lamp a little long. Butter was very hard, not sure if that’s just how it’s served or how to explain that. Still good food, but you can tell it was just a crazy busy night. Vicky did a great job and Tony was very helpful. Danielle served us at the bar and I can tell she was flustered but she was trying her best to keep up with the customer requests. The kitchen and cooks looked tidy and on top of everything! Overall, it was great, maybe just the host team could communicate more clearly. Rushing and giving up a seat to stand for 20 min felt unnecessary.

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!

Food was amazing. Came here 4yrs ago and it was very underwhelming. This visit was the complete opposite. The restaurant has been redesigned with high top tables near the bar and dinner tables in the rear. The food has also been kicked up multiple notches. The service was excellent and quick. Food temp was very good and we got in and out in under 2hrs.

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!

First time at Harbor House and wow! It was a beautiful day and we sat outside on the patio. Overall food was on point Tartar is my fave! Our fantastic server suggested the scallops and my favorite part was the chorizo in it. Sam really helped make our experience a total 10/10 Definitely recommend Harbor House and Sam!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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. :(

Food was excellent. Service was not good. Atmosphere was cold and overcrowded. not one complaint about the food. everything was perfect except the wine. $20 per glass for a really bad Cabernet. I asked for the house Cabernet since I don't know a lot about different brands. I do know this was terrible. I've had much better bottles from Aldi for $11(the whole bottle). for $20 per glass I expected a really good Cabernet. Service started out great. however our server was then given 4 tables after we were seated, on top of the two she already had. One of those four tables had 10 or 12 people. we never saw the server again until she gave us the bill. It was very bright inside the dining room. Reminded me of lunch time. Also tables were jammed in. Very crowded and loud. I don't really mind spending $225 for two us, plus tip, and only one of us drinks but it should damn well be a better experience.

Food was ok. Could be my tastebuds. I had the salmon. Hubby had to shrimp or seafood platter. Wouldn't go again, but the experience was great. The scenery was nice and the waitstaff were professional and clean.

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.

This place is great! It was our first time here. We were celebrating my wife's 70th birthday. Each staff member wished her a 'Happy Birthday' and gave her a special dessert. The entire staff was friendly, attentive and caring. The food was excellent too. Nice night view from our window table, even though it is winter. We'll be back for sure when the weather offers us an even better view of lake activities. Thanks to all at the Harbor House.

One bit of advice I need to offer: book in advance. I can see why reservations fill so fast. Luckily, we were able to get a couple of spots at the bar with a nice view of the lake and museum right as they opened. The bartenders took great care of us. As for the food, my wife and I spit a shrimp cocktail and a dozen oysters, both of which were outstanding, although seeing some of the other dishes that came out of the kitchen have me itching for a return visit.

Fresh seafood with great service. Located in the perfect spot with great scenery. Very busy and very trendy place in Milwaukee.

Great view and great spot. Food was good, but on the expensive side. Not sure it's worth the price you pay. Not many bottles of wine that are on the lower price range of choices. The service was very good. Shellfish Bisque soup was good but for a cup at $14 wish there were a couple of clumps of crab or lobster on top. Linguine and clams was very good as was the Bronzino. The halibut was great but I didn't like the accompaniments with it. King Crab Fra Diavalo was also very good. Overall I think this is more of an "expense account" type of restaurant.

Harbor House is the best spot to go for a special event (birthday, anniversary, etc). We went for a birthday and they made David a homemade birthday card and we got a free dessert! Plus they don't do any obnoxious singing or anything. Now for the food.... One word, fantastic!! I got the salmon and it wasn't fishy tasting at all! The risotto and fried Brussel sprouts were such a good flavor and the addition of the cranberry's was unmatched David got the filet and crab legs and had me try everything. The steak was by far the best filet we have ever had. It was literally melt in your mouth! The crab legs were outstanding too, especially when you drench it in the butter. We also got (not pictured) an espresso martini and a refreshing Floral Orchard. I would not recommend the espresso martini if you normally like creamier espresso martinis like I do. I'm slowly realizing I'm not an espresso martini girlie :( Overall, Harbor House had outstanding food that made it worth the very pricy cost.

Great food! The view was amazing. Service was also excellent- our waitress was knowledgeable and very excited when we ordered any dish. The scallops were so so good, definitely my favorite thing at the table.

Not sure if happy hour still exists here (it used to be the best experience), but I highly recommend sitting at the high top tables if you can. Bar seating and high top tables are first come, first served. Service is just as good in this section, if not better. You can guarantee a good view for you and your guests. The oysters are still lovely - good variety and quality. Tuna tartare and the fish dishes are other favorites. Prices are steep but you're paying for the full experience. We have seen Bucks players or owners every time we visit. Bartolotta rewards program is great.

I had an excellent time here last night! We went for a birthday celebration and it was just wonderful. The hostess directed us to the bar while we waited for a table, where we had the loveliest bartender. She explained the drinks and made us some excellent selections. The whole restaurant looks out onto Lake Michigan and the large windows guarantee a good view no matter the seat. It was wonderful to watch the sun set over the lake and see the art museum light up as we snacked on warm bread and cold butter. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they even greeted us with a card for my birthday. The tuna tartare was excellent. Simple and clean flavors with fresh tuna and lots of different textures. My clam chowder was delicious with large pieces of clam and a great smack of bacon. I did get a little sand/grit which was a bummer but it didn't detract much. The grilled branzino was perfection. Salty and crispy skin with flaky fish-- the sauce went completely untouched. The broccolini was garlicky and lemony. For dessert we got a lovely birthday dessert of a salted caramel pot de creme as well as an ordered dessert of carrot cake. Both were mouth watering. From start to finish my meal was excellent. My hubs had a few criticisms, namely that his seafood chowder/bisque had an unappetizing aftertaste that made him not want to finish it and that both his steak and scallops, while the correct temp, needed more sear. They were both a little soft on the outside, which I agreed with. If only he'd had my meal! Overall I had a lovely evening and would certainly go back. The hubs was less enthusiastic but still said he would certainly return for the tartare and the desserts. Wonderful night!

A gorgeously appointed restaurant with a prime location right on lake Michigan with beautiful views. The food was exceptional, and we had 2 servers tag team our table to ensure we always had what we needed. The classic caviar appetizer was fantastic - served with the perfect accompaniments and crackers to enhance, not mask, the flavor. The clam chowder was definitely homemade, and the branzino was cooked to perfection with a delicious chipotle romanesco sauce that gave it the perfect amount of zest. We shared the chocolate hazelnut tarte and wished we had room for another - it was SO good!

My partner and I came here for our anniversary dinner. If it wasn't for our great server we would not have left happy. The food was good but not great. The dessert was fantastic, I highly recommend the carrot cake. If you are looking to spend more money for the atmosphere then this is the place for that. We waited over 45 minutes for a table even though we had made our reservation weeks in advance. As someone who has worked in the fine dining industry, this was a TERRIBLE look and we almost walked out. We were both upset and disappointed, but our server worked to turn our mood around. In summary, I was not impressed with management or the hosting team as they told us it will be a short wait and it was almost an hour. We most likely will not be back as there are better restaurants in the area that are in this same price range.

Top notch service with great food and drinks. Pretty expensive, but we were celebrating my wife's birthday so it was worth it! . When I made the reservation online they asked if we were celebrating anything, and I was impressed that she got a hand written birthday note from the Harbor House delivered to our table. Nice touch... much better than the staff signing Happy Birthday... or something like that! We were a little early (about 15 mins) for our reservation and they said they could seat us right away, but it was at a tiny table in the middle of the restaurant. We asked for a better table and they told us we would have to wait until our set reservation time to get a better table... which was fine. So we went to the bar for a while! About the time of our set reservation they came and got us. This time we got a great table along the windows overlooking the lake and the museum, which was very nice. At the bar, I ordered a dirty martini and my wife got a specialty cocktail called a Sirens Song. Her drink was pretty awesome... very refreshing! The two bartenders were great servers and super friendly. If we didn't have a reservation, we would have gladly ate at the bar! Really enjoyed our meal from appetizers to main courses. We did have one issue however, which I was amazed with the response of our waiter. My wife ordered the lobster bisque and she didn't love it. She mentioned to the waiter (because he asked) that she wished she had ordered the chowder instead (probably because she had now finished her second Sirens Song!) The waiter said... "no problem" and replaced her bisque with the chowder! That was pretty nice! Sadly I don't remember his name... would love to give him a shout out! Thanks to Harbor House for making my wife's birthday special! Glad we started our night at a great restaurant with a great meal.

Harbor House is the primer dining destination in Milwaukee based on location. The restaurant is spacious and located between Discover World and the Art Museum. There's not many seafood places in Milwaukee or this level of fancy. The service was not very attentive. There have a lot of staff but also lots of tables. The appetizer portions sizes are often small. The $23 crab cake is a single cake (not outstanding), the shrimp cocktail comes with 5 shrimp for $21 (tastes like shrimp). River trout - really good Wedge salad- very yummy Lobster Mac and cheese - okay. A bit pricey. Steamed mussels - for sure worth it Shellfish bisque - tastes like tomato all's vodka with blended lobster. Kinda wish the fishes were visible Beets salad - really good Alaskan halibut - not oily, somewhat mild, could be crispier Burger - great value Soft shelled fish- fried. A little weird. Hard to explain.

The location is unbeatable! Right on the water with views of the city. Food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend the steak oscar style. Yum!

Visited Harbor House for the first time (since it's been HH) for a birthday dinner and I couldn't have been more pleased! Our server(s) were exceptional, both in their attentiveness and in their recommendations for the table! Our meals were incredible and you can't beat the views of the lake and museum close by! The only downside is their valet was pretty backed up, when leaving and the attendant let a few impatient customers skip the line to retrieve their vehicles first. Other than that, it was a great night overall - I will be back!

Had the pleasure of dining here on Friday night. Food was great and service was fantastic. The only thing I would have changed would be to add chunks of lobster to the seafood bisque as is routinely done in the northeast. Would recommend if you are looking fresh seafood and a beautiful view while visiting Milwaukee.

It's a beautiful restaurant with fantastic views of the water. The food was great: lobster roll was perfect. The fresh oysters were amazing. My only complaint: we arrived at 5:15 for our 5:30 reservation and were told we had to wait 10 minutes or so. All of the tables were open. We just laughed.

So, feigning interest, I guess, Harbor House management asks me to email them about my experience, I do, and more than a week later, no response. I can see where the front of the house gets their customer service ethos. It would appear the fish rots from the head.

Had a business dinner at one of coldest days in 2024, however this place is packed. BTW, valet parking is available for a fee. The view facing the harbor was great. Really enjoyed the oysters, fresh and tender. Crispy Pork belly was crispy for sure but a bit dry instead of moist inside. Order salmon for my entrée. Really liked the flavor and all the toppings. It was an awesome mixed texture with fired Brussel sprouts, cranberries, and mushrooms. I could take a more rare to medium salmon instead of medium to well done. Overall I liked it and might order next time too. Services were impeccable.

5-star service, location, dining vibes and environment and 4-star food. We love the friendly and professional service here! And food wise I think their dinner menu is definitely more attractive to us compared to the brunch menu when it comes to value and diversity. We had a pleasant dinner on a beautiful Sunday. Our servers did a good job taking care of us. The fried soft shell crab w salad, lobster bisque, whole branzino and salmon dishes were all good.

I have wanted to come here for some time now. My husband took me here the other night to celebrate my 35th birthday. First of all, there is valet parking only. Something I did wish we knew a head of time. (We actually turned around, drove down the street a little and cleaned out the car since we were valeting if you have kids, you know what I mean) When we got inside it was beautifully clean! It's white all over, gives a very nautical clean vibe. Everyone was dressed to the part, clean crisp aprons, hair contained. They moved very nicely in a busy environment. Our servers were both great in the team service that they provide. One thing I loved (I come from kitchens so I really pay attention to these things) on my way to the bathroom there was a spot where only one person could walk through the hallway by the bar because there was a plant. And a server stopped and welcomed me through instead of racing me to the gap to walk through first. Letting the guest through first is a very small thing to do but it didn't go unnoticed. That gentleman had a cool mustache incase management sees this. We really connected with our server or the dessert which I'll get at soon. But over all the service was great! Okay last but not least the food! We got the shrimp cocktail and wedge as starters. The wedge was SO GOOD. The shrimp cocktail was great too but it is my only take away. We got two pieces that weren't cleaned the best. They weren't horrible but if your someone who saved up your money to dine at a place like this, you want it to be spotless. Again, we weren't mad, it was very tasty still but that is my only takeaway. We then shared the crab legs and lobster Mac n cheese(fantastic). They came with green beans and potatoes. They were the BEST green beans I've ever had. No lie. I'm not the biggest fan of green beans and those were BOMB! For dessert we got the butter cake and carrot cake. The carrot cake is the best I've had in Milwaukee. Very very good. And the butter cake...GET OUT OF HERE!! It was the best. There was some lemon curd or something mixed into it, with crème friache ice cream. I want to scream about this dessert. Glad my kids didn't come because I would of eaten theirs too. 10/10 will be back. I know this place has reviews where they talk about the price. It really is worth it. If you want to come here and check it out but not willing to spend a ton, they have a burger on the menu I believe it was like $17 and the cheapest beer was $7. That's a meal (before gratuity) for under $25. You're welcome!

Food was delicious, great service and a gorgeous setting. Perfect for a special occasion!

I've been to Harbor House once a year as a destination from Chicago for the past five years. Typically, great facilities and ordinarily great staff with great food. This time was different. We visited for my wife's birthday, so not a national holiday (yet ). It was a Friday evening for an 8PM reservation. Harbor House is part of the Bartolotta Group of restaurants and they all seem to have the same "team serving" scenario. We know this because we ate at three of their restaurants this past week. Many years ago, when I was starting as a server, our trainer related an experience where the team serving concept was used. What was true then is still true today. It's confusing. Who takes your order, who serves your food, who do you talk to when things don't go exactly right? Who's the lead and who's the subordinate? And, quite frankly, who do I tip if one part of the service is good and the other part of the service isn't? Our server "Nessa" was friendly and competent. Her presumed assistant "Reese" was less so. As an example, my wife ordered a cup of Clam Chowder from Nessa. When Reese brought it, the cup was only filled about 40%. When I asked Reese if that was 'normal', she said that "the reason we do that is because the bowls of soup are so large" and walked away. Okay, weird. Then my wife tasted it and it was just lukewarm. We flagged down Nessa. She replaced the dish with hot soup and oddly, the cup was now full. So, Reese was obviously making an excuse for her incompetence. The rest of the service was like that. All of our food was tepid as if Reese let it sit for a few minutes too long before bringing it to the table. Another weird point is that Nessa disappeared in the middle of service and never came back. After about 20 minutes Reese showed up again and asked if we'd like to order dessert. We were so disappointed by this point that we said "no, just the check". When Reese came back with the check, she brought my wife a 'sort of' panna cotta, which was truly bland and tasteless. The question is, why try to upsell us dessert if you'd planned on giving her a dessert for free anyway? Just bad form. Understanding that every restaurant has the occasional bad night, we're giving Harbor House a break for a while. When you have the reputation they do and I'm paying several hundred dollars for a special occasion, you do have an obligation to try harder.

This place was HUGE. We ended up at the bar since we didn't have a reservation (and wanted to sit at the bar). We were stopping in for a cocktail or two before a late dinner reservation. The views were awesome of the city even at night with all the lights. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive. We ended up ordering a few appetizers to share and I will say the tuna tartare was awesome. It was so tender and melted in your mouth. This was the star of the show for me. I could have eaten this ten times over myself and been a happy camper. The only probably is since this is on a lake, parking was slim. They have valet parking which seemed to really be the only option.

I went here for my graduation this past weekend! The food was great. I got the grilled branzino, and the fish was flaky and moist. I really enjoyed the herby chimichurri sauce on the fish too. The broccolini was cooked to perfection as well. For dessert, received an olive oil cake with "congratulations" written on the plate. This was such a nice touch. The seafood tower was a little overpriced for the amount of seafood you receive. The staff at the front desk was not welcoming (perhaps this was due to the volume of reservations that day). The woman who was in charge of directing reservations was rude. A friend who had went earlier had even received the same experience. However, our server was wonderful, and she was very attentive to our requests. Overall, the food is great and the views of Lake Michigan are unmatched.

My 10 year old found Harbor House on the top 25 list published by Milwaukee Magazine and insisted on going for his birthday. WOW! I was impressed from the valet service, to every employee wishing him a happy birthday. We walked in and were immediately sat, even though we were 20 minutes early, in the captains room with outstanding views. My son was directed to sit where he'd have the best view. The service was excellent and the food was even better. We had oysters, lobster tails, scallops and more. 10 out of 10!!!!

The view was spectacular! The roasted oysters was sooo good I had two orders. The drinks were good as well.

We used to love coming here for the Sunday brunch buffet pre-Covid and have gone twice now after the post-pandemic change from a buffet to a fixed multi-course menu. I desperately miss the selection of the buffet (not to mention the build your own Bloody Mary bar), but this new format is understandable. It's good, just not "blow my socks off" good. Both times I went, I started with a Bloody Mary and my husband had an Old Fashioned, which we was pleased was made with Buffalo Trace. For my meal, I opted to go with the "up-charged" snow crab legs to start, followed by the prime rib and then finally the butter cake. Everything was delicious, it just wasn't outstanding or something unique that I couldn't get somewhere else. Service here is always 10/10 - and the ambiance/view can't be beat. It's a great special occasion restaurant, but the brunch, which used to be a standout, no longer is.

Harbor House never disappoints. Chef Michael Genre and staff are focused on dining excellence! Great seafood entrees with refreshing cocktails and robust wine list. We have celebrated many special occasions at this restaurant and will go back. Great in summertime as well with patio dining !!!

My husband and I went here last night for our 4 year wedding anniversary and we were disappointed to say the least. Everything was average. Food was average, especially for the price (filet was amazing as well as the fried oysters, Tristan lobster tail was average, muscles average, shellfish soup average). Our waitress was nice, however our first drinks (glass of wine and a spotted cow) took over 25mins to get, the 2nd drink took another 20mins after we ordered, as well as our third drink. By the time we orded our third drink we should have just asked for the check right away. Our waitress forgot to order our last round of drinks, so when we got them finally, she said they were on the house so atleast theres that-after waiting for so long. The best thing about the experience was the sites and ambiance from sitting on the patio. Besides that, we probably wont be going back. Thumbs down :(

Amazing food and amazing service! 100% recommend for a fancy dinner night with a great view of the city!

Our family has been a loyal customer for several years. Service is always excellent and they know how to make customers feel welcome and celebrate special occasions. Special shoutout to the manager, Ashley. We had a glitch on our tab from a recent visit and Ashley handled it with total professionalism and class. :)

Have Brunch here! If you're looking for a spot with a beautiful view, fantastic atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff, this is the spot for you. This restaurant has the best view in town. Every table is a window seat where you can look out on Lake Michigan, the skyline, and the Milwaukee Art Museum. The interior is decorated with a sophisticated nautical theme, white walls, soft lighting, and windows galore. There are booths that can comfortably hold six people and tables that can be pushed together for larger groups or kept separate for a more intimate experience. The menu is extensive and has options for everyone. I recommend opting for the three-course option, where you pick from a list of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. I went with the little gems wedge salad that was divine and the crab cake benedict which blew my socks off. Finally, for dessert, I opted for the affogato, which was pure perfection and a great way to finish off a beautiful meal. I should also add we started the meal with the pastry basket that everyone at the table loved. If you would like an alcoholic beverage with your brunch, be sure to ask for their signature bloody mary. It comes with a beer-side car of your choice (my recommendation is a spotted cow) and a huge toothpick stuffed with pickled vegetables, cheeses, and meat. The garnish was a meal in and of itself! The staff made us feel so welcome and really took care of the table. I can't wait to come back and recommend you make a trip to the Museum afterward because it is right next door. 10/10 See you there! P.S. Make a reservation because this place is popular!

I know there are a lot of reviews talking about how good the food is here so I'll keep it short. Lobster Mac and cheese So good it changed my life for real

I don't understand how this restaurant managed to serve our party of 4 perfect meals in a crowded restaurant AND while there was a huge wedding party outside too. Our meals were delicious.

The Seafood is fantastic here, especially love the Branzino, Scallops, Swordfish and we've come back time and again for Special occasions. Excellent service and Ambiance make for a great evening.

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday on a Wednesday night. Had reservations and let them know it was her birthday. I had my car valeted and when checked in we were seated right away. Our server Mikayla was amazing! Very attentive and came to check on us often. Ordered some drinks to start off as well as some oysters for appetizers. Drinks came out and they were pretty good. The oysters were fresh and delicious. Then we ordered our entrees. I opted for the lobster cioppino and my gf ordered the rainbow trout. Both of our meal were delicious! Can't say enough good things about the food. They brought her a birthday card and a birthday treat. It was some sort of mousse whip cream treat. We decided on key lime pie to end dinner and it did not disappoint. One of the best I've had in town honestly. Not too tart and not too sweet. Refreshing and perfect way to end a beautiful dinner. It is a fine dining experience and we were thoroughly impressed with the service, level of detail and most of all the food!

Great food. Solid cocktails- beautiful ambiance. Oysters are so fresh and delicious- so many great choices on the menu!! Risotto is a favorite.

It's been a while since I've been to Habor House, but it felt good to go back! Had a lovely dinner with some girl friends and we ATE well! Food and drinks! Dinner time was perfect, the sunset was gorgeous so it was a beautiful ambiance for the restaurant. I've never had an issue with their food so you could really do no wrong. ESPECIALLY with the lobster Mac and cheese! It's always on par! The beet salad and the Caesar salads are always a go to along with a great soup (specifically the clam chowder). They tend to have a variety of specials so you will always have some unique options. The night ended with a fresh pot of coffee, a dessert and a glass of brute champagne. All was well! Now yelp family you know I will always explain why I gave the rating I do. While the food was great as well as the indoor service, the valet had a bit of a hiccup. Seeing that this is a restaurant that requires you to use valet for their parking lot (unless you park elsewhere by the lake) then the service outdoor is just as important. It was a busy day for valet for sure, but as we headed out and in line I might add, a customer (man) who decided he didn't want to wait moved in front of the line and got his car right away. Incredibly rude that he was allowed to do so. To allow him to skip three women because he did not want to wait is unacceptable.
