This is an outstanding restaurant with a beautiful location on the water, terrific food, and excellent service. Lewes has an incredible number of great dining spots, but Harbour is really the best. As locals, we eat out regularly -- this is a place that we return to again and again.

Can't say enough about the delicious food, beautifully presented, and excellent service at Harbour last night. Chris was our excellent wait person. Crab cakes and halibut specials best in Lewes. Thank you to Lorraine and Gary for their culinary talents in developing this great restaurant in our town!

A girlfriend and I had dinner there last night. The outside temperature was in the upper 80's. The restaurant temperature was 80 degrees. Though they had stand-up fans, we sweated through our meal. Our server, Rhonda, was delightful. Our crab cakes and lobster --- no words fabulous! We enjoyed the pear mule, too. A few gentleman chatted with us on the way in telling us we couldn't go wrong with any meal and they were right! We didn't let the heat get us down, we'll be back!

I had my husband’s birthday dinner at this our favorite restaurant. We requested a table by the window and were denied. We sat at a different table watching the table we wanted sit empty the entire time we were there. Up to including as we left after paying the bill. It was a special day. We frequently this establishment. But I was really turned off by this experience. We could have had our table of choice and it sat empty the entire time.
