HARBOR HOUSE REVIEWS

I made our reservations for my husband and I with adding that we were coming to celebrate his birthday. We arrived with a card from them and a complimentary dessert after our amazing meal. My husband had never been here before and was in complete awe how gorgeous it was and how hard working all the staff was. He continuously mentioned how much the staff was constantly on the move and busting a$$. Always a pleasant experience at the Harbor House.

Met all of my high expectations. Really appreciated a non alcoholic drink menu. We had chop salad, muscles, filet and creme brulee. Was all fantastic. The chop salad was really amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful, and service top tier. Fantastic option for a special meal.

Everything was perfect from a moment we arrived. We had a special birthday dinner. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Highly recommend - The lobster was over the top good.

ST. PAUL FISH COMPANY REVIEWS

Omg! This place has been one of my favorite spots in Milwaukee for years! The food is amazing, I mean! The oysters, The Clam chowder, the fry calamari, The Lobster Roll wow! Everything is fabulous and the bloody Mary’s are 10-10!! I live in Chicago and I don’t mind driving all the way here almost every Sunday!! Thanks to the great staff too!! Friendly and welcoming! Keep it up guys.

If you’re in Milwaukee and you don’t go here you’re missing out. And if you go here and don’t get the lobster roll, that should be a criminal offense. Added the lobster bisque at the server’s suggestion. Used it to dip the sandwich in. Everything was top notch. And the rest of the market was cool to walk around and burn off the glutinous meal.

I ordered the grouper sandwich, fried clams, crab cakes and lobster on a stick. Everything was pretty good. The clams were skinny with no belly and the coating was heavy. The grouper sandwich, kinda the same..but delicious…dirty delicious. The lobster one stick was cliche and gimmicke. It was overcooked, but I did like the gimmick, so it worked. The sauces were amazing. All the fish were clear eyed and looks super fresh. I’d recommend this place to anyone.

BARNACLE BUD'S REVIEWS

Very fun restaurant with a cool vibe. Right on the canal so you can watch nice boats go by while you enjoy your food and drinks. Our food was all very good and the cocktails & beer were spot on. Enjoyed our snarky server too! Definitely check it out for yourself. We really enjoyed the place and definitely will be back.

Great atmosphere. Arrived at just the right time. The sun was shining, there was a nice breeze, and the voice was amazing. The shrimp po'boy was delicious. Drinks were so amazingly.

Off the beaten path, on the water, so much character and fun! Great food and servers! I love Barnacle Buds in the warm season and the created newly Genes pop up restaurant was fantastic today! Make reservations.
