    Location is superb

    This restaurant is diner atmosphere. Our greatest pleasure was watching the seals out in the harbor. We were able to get an outside window and watched the seals dive and play in the water. The food was good and they allowed some substitutions when we...More

    A Great RV View

    Not our idea of a harbor view. So-so menu, not the most exciting place to dine. Friendly service and a bit noisy ambiance.

    The food is better than the view

    We drove around town a lot seeking out a great place to dine. It does not live up to it's name. The "harbor view" is just a parking lot full of RVs.
