    12/24/24: Lauren was great, as usual, and Ryan the GN gets his sleeves rolled up and helps it all work. Since moving from el país vasco this is as close as I’ll get to going back to northern basque coast. Worth every penny including the 18% inclusive tariff. Josh & Julie Ugalde Mequon, WI

    I’ve dined here several times before and it was nice to introduce it to my friends after an afternoon Holiday Pops Concert. We started our meal with the Crab Dip and Sweet & Spicy Shrimp. Both Apps were a big hit with our group. The Shrimp was indeed spicy in a good way. The Crab Dip is served with Lavosh Crackers and it is a perfect match. The rich flavor and texture of the Dish is seasoned just right to be served with this barely salted cracker. Perfect pairing is a good description. Our entree choices included a Black & Blue Burger, Turkey Avocado Sandwich, a Rueben, and a Cuban Sandwich which everyone enjoyed their choices and remarked how good they were. Two of us chose the Bone In Pork Chop which was delicious. It is served with German Potato Salad, Broccolini, Red Cabbage and Apple Slaw and Whole Grain Beer Mustard. The meat was tender and the accompaniments had just the right amount of acidity to highlight the Pork Chop. The German Potato Salad was perfect and reminded me of my childhood when we would eat it around the Holidays. We were extremely pleased with our meals. There is an extensive Bar Menu and those who made selections were pleased. This is a great place to meet for lunch and or dinner. I’ve also enjoyed The Happy Hour Menu when the Apps are half priced. Needless to say, I look forward to our next visit.

    First of all I must compliment our server, Samantha L., she was delightful. She gave us the specials & also the history on the Harbor Burger. I must confess we are not big fans of seafood & since it was lunch time ordered the burgers—they were awesome along with the fries. We love looking out at the Lake Michigan.
