    $1 Oyster “Happy Hour” 4-6pm. Half dozen Oysters, during traditional hours, for $16. Plate of Steamed Mussels for $15-16; save your excess bread and “dunk” it in the fabulous, buttery garlic bliss!

    The great food combined with the lakeview creates a great dining experience. They even offer valet services. And don't walk about without trying the key lime pie!

    Surf and turf combos are tough to top, provided you sample things from the raw bar. Oysters from Prince Edward Island are awesome. Shrimp are huge. If you can't go all seafood, be sure and sample some

    The scallops are amazing! My husband couldn't get enough of the oysters, and of course everything else was absolutely divine! The view, the ambiance, the service, the food, all of it was top notch!

    Dishes come and go, depending on the season. Lobster potpie is extravagant and comforting at once. Meat eaters aren't forgotten here; the veal cutlet with Marsala demi-glace is a pleasure.

    Treat yourself to a delicious brunch with breathtaking views at the Harbor House. Try a little of everything, but don’t skip the warm and toasty Harbor House Lobster Pot Pie and delicious desserts!

    Lobster Pot Pie was disappointing ... a flaky puff pastry should not have to be cut with a knife. Forget the pastry top and call it Lobster Stew. Sauteed Shrimp and White Beans - an amazing appetizer.

    A favorite place for dinner in Milwaukee! Excellent service, call ahead for reservations for Friday evenings. Food at our last visit was superb, the view of downtown and the lake are fabulous.
