Nothing Better Mar 28th, 2005
I can tell you that Harbor View serves the best food I have ever had. I drive over an hour to get there and make sure I go at least once a month. When it comes November, and it's time for them to close for the season, I get "take out" orders and take them home and put them in the freezer and enjoy Harbor View in the winters months. Sure, it's not the same as going there, but it gets me by until March.

The Best Mar 18th, 2005
The Harbor View Cafe is well worth the drive. Anyone who writes a bad review of this place may have had one bad experience, but must try it again. I have been treating myself to this Cafe for the last 11 years and if they ever decide to close, it will be a really sad day. My husband has tried nearly everything on the menu and has no complaints.

I continue to find Harbor View as nourishing to the soul as it is to the appetite. This is a treat I give myself as often as I can during their open season, and I especially enjoy going alone. (It's in quiet contemplation that you can really savour the experience.)

The blackboard menu features high-end comfort food, from the delicious bread and homemade salad dressings to the sauces that would make shoe leather palatable, and if you're disciplined enough to take some of your meal home with you you might have room for a slice of sinfully rich chocolate torte or a ginger cake full of brandy soaked fruit. It's four months til they open again, and I'm counting down the days.

Wondering About Those Bad Reviews? Nov 14th, 2004
Not everyone seems to think The Harbor View is a great restauant, however, see for yourself. They start putting people on a waiting list at 4:45PM, and by 5:00PM it is an hour wait. There are not very many places that have a hour wait by 5PM, so something is bringing people in day after day, year after year. (While you wait, there are a few cute shops next door to browse through.)

There is a sense of "campiness" to the place and the menu on a blackboard adds to that experience. The food is very fresh and we have never eaten a meal we did not like. You can stop by in jeans and a flannel shirt, or dress up. Either way, you will fit in. Many of the patrons come from the Twin Cities area. Considering it is a 1 1/2 hour drive from Minneapolis, you know the food has to be good. Not only does it compete with some fine establishments in the cities, it obviously beats them because people are willing to take the drive.

Don't go to this restaurant and plan on being seated with the menu opened on your lap. You won't find a coat check or white cloth napkins either. If you want that type of place, there are many others to choose from. The Harbor View is just down to earth good gourmet food in a very pleasant, small-town atmosphere. The only bummer about the place is it closes in late November.

Best Food Ever Because I Was Starving Nov 13th, 2004
Make note that this restaurant accepts cash only. We went out there and did not realize this til we arrived. No reservations are taken. We ended up driving to the next town to find a cash machine. By the time we got back to the restaurant, there was a very long wait list. Waited until about 10 p.m. to eat - was starving, so of course it was great food.

From a Harbor View Staff Member Aug 23rd, 2004
Hello, hello, hello. It's wonderful to hear that most of you enjoyed your meals and the service at Harbor View. Everyone tries their hardest to make your experience the best. I work at Harbor View, though behind the "curtains" so to say. Every last person tries their hardest, even the dishwashers, making sure everything is cleaned to a "T". Please everyone, come on down, we'd love to have you.
