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 ordered Chicken Liver Dumpling Soup and Crab Cakes. Both were outstanding. Our waiter, Ryan, (who I believe is the son of the owner) is efficient and friendly. It was a very pleasant lunch experience. If you have not tried this restaurant, I suggest you do. Prices are fair with the quality of the food. The cocktails are also delicious.

The knick is always a go-to for great food (the shrimp in the shrimp tacos was perfectly prepared!) and attentive service from Nick and Dylan. Good place to go with a small group as well, since it's quiet enough to hear the conversation.
