    Harpoon Willie’s was absolutely fabulous. The service, the ambience, the food, were just great. After a lovely dinner, we sat at the bar and listened to some live music. Perfect ending to an amazing night. And the manager was outstanding. Matt couldn’t have been nicer. Highly recommend Harpoon Willie’s, whether for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. Great place!!

    My request for a table by the window was respected. Food is always fantastic. Its presentation is wonderful. Our waiter was very accommodating . One concern for me was that the Valentine’s Day menu had all seafood selections. I am not a seafood eater and my usual steak was not an option. While I love this restaurant I was disappointed with the lack of beef as a selection for this occasion.
