    a man sitting at the bar
    Claudia C.

    As restaurants go this one was just okay. We were seated and felt as if our server was ignoring us and just concentrating on her regulars, once she arrived we ordered Mine: California eggs Benedict- arrived as I requested with no tomato however the english muffin was a little bit to toasted and the poached egg was over cooked (hard yolk). Also had side of hash. Server came by asked how things were and I didn't have to say anything she immediately noticed and took back to kitchen to have a new one made, this time much better. As was the service after that. Husband had omelette with side of toast Our aunt had the 2 of everything with rye toast. Bathroom was clean as was the dining area. With many choices in town for breakfast I might try somewhere else but not completely off the list.

    Skillet with Sausage Gravy
    Nick S.

    When my wife and I travel we always try to eat at local places and support the local economy. Looking at this place's menu we thought it would be a good place to check out. Once we arrived we were greeted by the friendly wait staff and were seated right away. I love a skillet so I always order one when it's on the menu! I decided to splurge and get the sausage gravy on top. I then asked for the homemade bread and she rattled off many options! I decided on the cinnamon bread and I am so glad that I did! While the skillet was amazing the cinnamon bread was the star of the meal! It was so good we even got a loaf to take home with us! This place had a great diner feel and has amazing staff! Highly recommend giving this place a visit while you are in town!

    Breakfast burrito, little to no meat in it!

    HARBOR VIEW CAFE? MORE LIKE HARBOR RUDE CAFE!! My partner recommended this place to me, as he saw it online and really wanted to give it a try for a quick late breakfast. When we came in there is a sign that states "Host will seat you" so we stood and waited as everyone does. We waited & waited & waited for almost maybe 8 - 10 mins while multiple servers and workers looked at us and passed us by some even staring at us and giving rude stares. We then were informed by the rude bus boy that we can sit wherever we want. We finally got seated and waited another 10 - 12 mins for anyone to even approach us, my partner finally got tired and decided to get up and leave. I decided to stay and give it a chance. Unfortunately that was even more of a mistake. The food was quite poor in taste and flavor and was dry. I had the biscuits and gravy and the breakfast burrito and neither were memorable or tasty. There was almost no meat inside the burrito itself(pictured below). I can positively say I will NEVER be returning to this awful spot. Please for goodness sake work on your customer service model.

    Great diner for breakfast. Get in before the 9am breakfast rush. Corned beef hash and eggs and breakfast burrito were fab. Cheap eats.

    The bacon was glorious! I ordered the corned beef hash, well-done, and their standards of well-doneness matched mine!

This is all just too robotic for me, you sit yourself, you place the order yourself on a iPad, if you have any requests for changes you have to go find someone and let them know...they can't always make changes to the orders, and when you ask they will give you long weird looks. Overall the staff was stiff and unfriendly. Food was just okay. Both items of food were delivered cold. The only thing we truly liked was the latte.

FRIENDLY because they asked if it was our first time -- since we did not immediately walk over to one of the kiosks to place a "contactless" order -- when we came in. Or, maybe it was the slightly confused-deer-in-headlights-look we had because the place was VERY snug, to say the least? Using order tablet was intuitive, but what if you wanted a 12 oz. pour in a 16 oz. cup? And wanted a sugar packet on the side? Then, you are limited to the options. Potable. Shots in the Dark was OK. Ambiance. Perfect for EXTROVERTS because you hear EVERY conversation in the place at normal conversation level. So, there's a couple that was in town for doing tasting menus for their wedding stuff... gaggle of gals for bachelorette party and posting their experience on socials... remote workers on laptops listening in the cafe conversations. It's a fishbowl experience. Overall, it was.... ok. Coffee was ok. I am usually not in the mood to engage and kumbaya when I vacation. But you know, do whatever blows your hair back...

Lovely pre-Victorian decor adds such a warm feel to the evening. All 6 of us ordered different entrees which were delicious. I personally had the rare prime rib - my brother spotted the plate presentation & inquired if the horns could be mounted! Polished the luscious cut with great gusto. Only issue was the roasted potatoes had gobs of course salt. As if the crispness of the skin needed a special kick. Our favorite server Pam, had suggestions at the slightest hesitation on choices. The 6 Oysters were sumptuous & she winked as I backed off from the full dozen - weak decision on my part! Only issue was all the seating chatter behind us revered off the corner so all small talk was begun with "what did you say?" Trivial matter all things considered.
