Crab cakes and crab stuffed rockfish were both very good. For desert, can fully recommend coconut cake and the seasonal Smith Island cake (gingerbread & peppermint)! Server Holly was exceptional.

We love Harbour, but on this particular night, it was just ok. Our drinks at the bar were great, and Tom took good care of us at our table. But two of our food items (an appetizer and an entree) were cold. After sending the appetizer back, which was removed from our check, we chose not to complain again about our entree. Disappointing, but we will go back as this is not typical.
