    Food and service were excellent, as always. My dining partner received the wrong entree and had begun eating before he or staff noticed. They kindly offered to let us take that entree home, which was a nice way to resolve a minor mistake.

    My experience at your establishment was exceptional. From the minute we walked in the door I felt like we were the only customers that you had. The food and outside seating was exceptional. 10 stars.

    It was our first visit in a whim, but it most certainly won’t be our last. Absolutely delicious!

    We have visited a few times, and brought friends from out of town.. unfortunately, the experience just didn’t deliver this time… which was unfortunate considering we brought visitors.. our server was wonderful, but the food was lacking. Several items were out of stock, which I understand being that they order everything fresh, but the substitutes were poor. I had the bouillabaisse, which i order anytime i see on a menu.. this was the worst I’ve ever had. I believe the salmon was out of stock, so it came Out with a piece of unseasoned cod sitting on top of the broth… at $42 I would expect a more Comparable replacement. The broth had no flavor and tasted like watered down tomato soup.. the clams Oregonata were barely filled and greasy. The hush puppies were heavy and all dough. I was so excited to see flourless chocolate cake on the menu & was hoping for redemption via dessert. but that was a total Letdown too… it was so dry that the whole top came off when we put a fork in it.. the cocktails were great. The $10 wines were a great value, and the scallop & mahi specials that the rest of the group ordered were very good! The coconut cake was good, and the French press coffee was excellent. Our service was excellent As always, and I didn’t mention the problems Since we had guests & I didn’t want to put a damper on the evening. I’m sure they would’ve done something to compensate.. I’ll visit again since our previous couple of visits were much better and service is great, just stinks that we picked such an off night to bring friends

    We had a great dinner at Harbour last night. We shared a mussels appetizer then had the rack of lamb and grilled mahi-mahi for mains. All was very good. Our server, Tom, was efficient and attentive. The only negative was that the garlic was too heavy on t/he broccolini. We'll definitely be back.
