Harbor House Detroit

"I used to come here often, especially on special occasions. I was surprised to find no live entertainment on a Saturday night. There also is no mention of it on their website aside from it being on the top banner. My second disappointment was they no longer have all you can eat dinner selections. Those were my two main reasons for coming at all."

"So Im not very happy about my experience here. I got the half pound crablegs and shrimp dinner. The crab legs were so small it's ridiculous, they were not bigger than my pinky finger nor were they full claws. Then we were enjoying celebrating a friend's birthday when this family came in and complained about the music being up. Another waitress who was waiting on that family turned the music all the WAY DOWN. Excuse me LADY they are not the only people patronizing this business. When the husband apologized about asking for the music to be turned down she laughed and said its no big deal. YES BIG HEAD LADY ITS A BIG DEAL. RESPECT EVERYONE NOT JUST PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE YOU!! THE WOMAN IN THE PICTURE IS WHO I AM REFERRING TO"

"Nice looking service bar! But, generally, the place feels a little bit disjointed. There are 2 large rooms for seating. Both rooms seem a bit cavernous for the seating arrangement. There are 3 very nice leaded glass works of art over the archways separating the 2 seating areas. Im not really sure about the genre of the motif of the restaurant? As noted by others, it’s a bit dark, making it a little difficult to see the menu. Our server was quick with the initial beverage order. But, she was spread a bit thin as the dinner progressed. We came with 6 diners. We ordered some New York Strips, Fish and Chips and Surf and Turf. The meals were not too impressive. Portions were reasonable. Presentation was weak though. No one in our party had a complaint about their food or service. But, there were no cheers either. I’d have to say the experience/food was average. Prices were fair and reasonable, in my opinion. What I really didn’t like was the “built-in” 16% gratuity for our party of 6. In order to properly compensate our server, I had to think about how much extra to add on to the gratuity to be fair to her. I’m a generous tipper when I receive caliber service. The management should reconsider the policy in my opinion."

"The food was excellent and our waitress was fantastic. Although her gratuity was included, she still treated us like she hadn't gotten a tip. That's great because so many that have gratuity added services are horrible. One thing they could have done was to make sure my bowl with my soup was wiped off instead of serving a bowl with all the soup running down the bowl looking a hot mess. And, also when someone is paying cash, they want a receipt just like the ones using a credit card!"

"The food was amazing. We got multiple items and shared them, worth every penny. The atmosphere is great, a bit dark but great. I Highly recommend the NY steak and crab legs!!!"
