Best Restaurants for Groups in Genesee

To be honest, I was unsure what to expect. Several (about 5) years ago the experience had not been pleasant. So decided to try again; I’m very glad I did - it was an awesome experience. The drinks, their specials, were superb. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, great recommendations. The meal came quickly, everything that should have been hot was, I had a beet salad with feta cheese that was to die for. We splurged on a very nice bottle of wine, my wife’s roasted chicken she said was delicious and while there were two lobster selections, the waitress helped me make a good decision - the result was fantastic, both in size, appearance & taste. Admittedly we spent more than I intended, however it was worth every dollar! Oh I should mention the small but nice raw bar; I have some familiarity with oysters and the NB selection was excellent. I rarely leave this long or detailed review, however, we will definitely return to the Milwaukee Harbor House and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a great restaurant experience!!

Servers were great! Explained specials. But I have to say I was just not that impressed with the NY steak I ordered. The steak was cooked properly at medium but had a dryness to it & actually not that much flavor without the Bearnaise sauce. I guess I am just spoiled because we use to go to the former Jackson Grill where the steaks were outstanding. Not sure what they did to their steaks but we have never found one as tasty. My husband had the crab cake & fillet and the crab cake was delish but he also found his fillet cooked properly but with not much flavor without the sauce.

Lobster Thermidor and wedge salad were excellent. Recommend reserving at the counter overlooking food prep area as they give a couple free goodies if you sit there. Also, if you stay at the Pfister Hotel, you don’t even need to go outside to access the restaurant.

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

Fabulous family dinner for four. We have not been for a while and loved it all, especially lamb dish, flatiron steak, black bass, Moroccan beets, winter squash salad and crowning buche Noel dessert. Thank you for the experience.
