    We had. Wonderful dinner at Cassis to celebrate our anniversary. Food and service were both outstanding. One of the managers, Ashley, took extra care of us to make sure we had the perfect evening. We will return for sure.

    We couldn't have been more happy with our meal! We've dined at many Bartollata restaurants for our anniversary (Bacchus last year!) but hadn't been to Harbor House. We certainly won't wait as long after this meal. Exquisite Oysters rockafeller and the lobster bisque ti die for! Our entrees - salmon and the seafood sautée, were absolutely outstanding. Add delicious drinks and wine together with attentive and friendly service, and you've got a meal to remember!
