This is a gem in Milwaukee. She does come with a price tag but is worth every dollar. The Harbor house sits right on the water with great views of both Lake Michigan and Milwaukee. The food is excellent, and the service is top-notch. Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.

On the negative side, one in our party of 5 was 5 minutes late. For that major infraction our table was given to another party and we waited 15 minutes for a table and another 10 for first wait staff contact. On the positive side the soft shell crabs were fantastic and the sunset on lake gorgeous

Don't order steak in a seafood restaurant learned. Ordered a 8 oz filet with King Crab leg, that came with texture and cut like a roast beef. Overall bill for four, with tip, $600. Would of expected much better. What mattered most was my daughter experienced a nice birthday at a restaurant of her choice.
I live in the far north suburbs in Illinois and sometimes visit the Harbor House when I'm in the area. I have tried a few different entrees and plan on ordering a different dish each visit.Their Crispy Pork Belly appetizer is delicious. There's a nice, satisfying crunch to the pork belly skin and the meat itself is tender. The Hudson Canyon Sea Scallops entree comes with four perfectly seared sea scallops thoughtfully accompanied with salmon roe, which makes the flavors come together and pop – both literally and metaphorically. I've also had the Rainbow Trout entree, which was very fresh.It's refreshing to see that Harbor House offers two kinds of lobster rolls: Main-Style and Connecticut-Style. I prefer Connecticut-Style, so that's what I ordered at Harbor House. The kitchen is generous with the amount of lobster meat. The toasted Brioche bun is so good you can eat it on its own. I don't think Harbor House uses Maine lobster, but I wish they do because Maine lobster is still hands down by far the best tasting lobster because of it's naturally sweet flavor profile.Customer service at Harbor House is also outstanding. The hostess is always very friendly. Even though we didn't exchange eye contact as I was leaving the restaurant, the hostess wished me a good evening, which led me to turn around and wish her the same.I wasn't sure whether to rate the Harbor House 4 or 5 stars because the food is overly salty. The heavy salt content reacts with the acidity of some of their dishes and made my mouth tingle. That's my only issue with the food at Harbor House, but it doesn't really stop me from visiting again when I'm in the area. 5 stars anyway.

Great food. Solid cocktails- beautiful ambiance. Oysters are so fresh and delicious- so many great choices on the menu!! Risotto is a favorite.
My favorite spot in town hands down - even after going vegan they’ve been so wonderful and accommodating. Thank you so much to Ashley who walked me through options and made a note on our reservation when we called ahead. Beautiful space, great food, and truly excellent service.
The food was delicious, but the best part was probably the server, Billy. He was able to give a great wine recommendation as well as fabulous dinner suggestions.
Classic if simple food. Slow service.
