   You don’t find many restaurants like Harbor House. The servers were impeccably attired and attentive, food was presented in a timely manner, hot and delicious, the menu was varied and interesting. It felt like stepping back in time to an era that no longer exists in today’s hustle bustle.

   Food was served hot and delicious. I appreciated the low noise volume as I am hard of hearing. The server proved courteous and professional.

   Absolute perfection, We, family of four dined here for Mother’s Day. James our waiter, was so lovely, so attentive. Do not miss the steamed muscles! Between the steak and lobster, Salmon, and Sole we all gave it a 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to go back to try more menu items.

    This place rates 7 out of 5 stars! Server Julie would get 8… celebration of 51st wedding anniversary in fine fashion. Lamb was excellent as were the selected seafood entrees. Very attentive but not intrusive staff.

    I have never been so continually disrespected at a restaurant. Worst birthday meal ever To start there was an ant crawling on the table when I arrived. The butter dish was gross with something greyish black caked on the side; I could scratch it off with my nail. My food (rack of lamb) was over cooked and the waiter did not ask about what side I wanted, and by the time I realized I could not get their attention until they were on their way to my table with my order; my order arrived with a side I did not want. I was misgendered multiple times throughout the evening even after correcting them twice; extremely disrespectful and discriminatory. Their website menu was out of date and they no longer had many things that were listed on their menu from their website. Even things on the menu they gave me were unavailable.

    First, the food was very good. Victoria-our server was top notch. The atmosphere made me feel as though it was a special dinner with the white table cloths, soft music and well dressed staff. They say they dress up so you don’t have to. For that reason, just go as you are or dress up and you will be welcome.

    We chose this restaurant because we were looking for a place with seafood for my husband and a vegetarian entree for my teen. It was a little pricier than I had in mind but I figured we could splurge a bit. As soon as we walked in I knew it was a mistake. The decor was dated: dark wood and a hideous carpet. Despite having a room full of empty tables, every guest was crammed into the same alcove, I guess to make it easier on the waiter. The menu was even worse. It looked like it hadn’t been updated since 1979 (except the prices): it was an assortment of tired, boring choices like sole, snapper, and trout plus some steaks. Every meal seemed to come with the same choices of plain rice or plain potatoes, plus some overcooked carrots. My scampi was 8 medium shrimp covered in a revolting, thick, clotted sauce instead of a simple garlic butter - the best thing I can say about it was at least they were properly cleaned. My husband’s snapper was greasy on the outside and dry on the inside. My teen’s “pasta primavera” had clumps of unrecognizable vegetables - it did not look fresh and springlike as that dish should. I’m not that hard to please but I can’t think of a time I was so, so disappointed in a restaurant. The waiter didn’t care that we sent half our food back uneaten and didn’t want takeout boxes - usually that’s a sign that something’s wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were used to it.

    We were very disappointed in the food at the Harbour House restaurant. It was a special event - a birthday celebration - and we were both looking forward to dining out after all the long months of the pandemic. Consequently, it was disappointing to be served food that was definitely below par. My husband's onion soup was unpleasantly salty. My spinach salad was covered in a bland dressing, some soft cheese and 3 walnuts. The crab cakes I ordered were close to being burnt and were accompanied by a small pile of very wilted lettuce. My husband's sole, came with veggies that were clearly over-cooked and some rather bland rice. The highlight of the night was the raspberry sherbert we had for dessert.

    Wonderful atmosphere and the waiter was excellent. The gulf shrimp scampi was wonderful as was the seafood pasta. Excellent choice of wines although I shout that $12.95 for a 5oz glass was expensive. The Milopita was amazing but it could easily have been shared by two people. This was our first visit to Harbour House and I would definitely recommend it.
