    The restaurant was not too busy (just before Christmas). But the service was incredibly wonderful. Steaks were excellent. Asparagus cooked exactly to crisp yet edible. Loaded baked potato was great. The Brandy Old-Fashioned Sweet was THE BEST I’ve ever had. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a last second dinner choice.

    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.

    I'm more of a local independent restaurant guy with supporting creative local people, but once in a while, I can't resist the best chain restaurant in the country, Milwaukee's Capital Grille. Wow, outstanding service, food, atmosphere. Wine list could use some help with older vintages and hard to find stuff like Brunello, Barolo, Bordeaux, Phillip Togni Cabs, Keenan Reserves.

    Food is delicious! Drinks were great! Our waitress was attentive and friendly! The restaurant temperature is always cold. Beyond control of the restaurant, the two customers seated next to us were talking loudly to someone on speaker phone, no common decency for other diners!! We had reservations at 5:00pm, there was a 15-20 min seating delay which has never happened previously. We love this place for our own special go to dinner place.
