    As always, a great experience! The restaurant was I little understaffed this evening, so the server was not as attentive as in the past due to the workload. But did provide excellent service when needed. The 2 "stand in bartenders (Sara and Christina (?)" were great at doing a job that they aren't normally responsible for. The all-around staff was very efficient and the ambiance great! Too bad in today's world, restaurants of all types feel the "pinch" of not having enough associates.

    We haven’t been to this location since it was Pieces of Eight back in the 80!s. Harbor House is such a great reimagining of the space. The decore and layout is elegant and energetic with the open kitchen concept well executed. Service was above and beyond, with the kitchen and staff offering to make a perfectly executed off-menu item (shrimp alfredo) for my daughter on a busy Saturday night. I asked for a menu change as well, and they happily agreed. The food was all A+, with all 6 people greatly enjoying their meals and wine selections.

    It was a perfect evening. We were celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary with my husband’s mother. The waitress was very good. The drinks, food and desserts were superb. The entire staff was so pleasant and friendly. We drive from Cleveland, Ohio to spend our anniversary together as a family at the Capital Grille every year.
