    Food was wonderful but service was lacking. Also disappointing when you make a reservation a month in advance and ask for a window seat and instead you're in the middle of the restaurant. For what you pay these need to be handled better.

    Thank you for your feedback about your recent visit to Harbor House. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we're disappointed that the service and seating didn't meet your expectations. Your input is valuable in helping us improve our service.

    It was a beautiful evening and despite a little trouble getting close to the restaurant because a presidential candidate was visiting nearby, we loved the view of the lake and all the pleasant staff greetings us. We had seen the restaurant on Top Chef and knew it was not to be missed while on our Top Chef/Frank Lloyd Wright inspired trip to Wisconsin. Fabulous food in a beautiful, relaxed setting. It was perfect for our anniversary.

    Went to dinner w some friends and had a terrific meal. The new menu has come out and it doesnt disappoint. Three of us had the black cod and it was so tender and just melted in your mouth. My friend ordered the branzino fish and said that it was so good!!! Beautiful views with delicious food- what more could you want from a restaurant!!!!
