    Harbor Burger with fries

    Nice place! The workers were very nice and attentive and overall just very sweet! We did unfortunately get sat right with the sun in our eyes, but it was still a nice view. I asked for no onions on my burger and they put some on, but it wasn't bad because I could just scrape them off. The burger was very good otherwise! Honestly the price is very high for the food you are getting but I would still recommend coming here.

    Great atmosphere and good meal. We went for lunch sat outside for lunch. We enjoyed the wedge salad and clam chowder. Katie did a great job.

    Fish & Chips (we asked for no tartar).

    Typically, I try to rate an overall rather than break down each individual aspect, but as you will see there were some wildly varying factors. Service: Nick - 5 stars. He was kind, efficient, and attentive. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. Ambiance: 4/5 - The ambiance was charming. Darker, quieter (they also weren't super busy at 6 on a Saturday which was surprising), and had tasteful decor. We sat next to the fireplace which was so lovely and warm. Beverages: They either jigger or short pour. Mine was tasty but needed a few more sips, his was interesting, but I would have expected his to come in a pint, vs a modified high ball (approx. 6oz with ice?) Food: Here's where it kind of fell apart. We ordered the bread plate (1/5) because I had gotten pasta as a main dish and it isn't served with any bread. Focaccia was good, but the pumpkin was burnt. Pumpkin isn't something I normally would eat, so I am letting his ranking stand. Also, wasn't a fan of either butter. He ordered the fish and chips (1/5) and the batter was definitely inedibly undercooked on the second piece. He picked out the fish from inside. The fries were standard. The pea stuff was interesting. I didn't mind it, but definitely didn't need a whole soup cup full. I tried the other piece of his cod and it was fine. My entree was the Seafood Tomato Alfredo. I'd say a heavy 4/5. Typically, I don't eat red sauce, and this was a very medium orange. My only complaint is that it could have used a teaspoon of sugar to cut the bitterness (as a person who doesn't eat red sauce). If you do, this is probably a 5/5 for you. The seafood pieces were plentiful and large, and the pasta perfect. Overall the food came quickly and was a generous portion. However, we probably won't be back to try it again as he was quite unsatisfied and would probably rate his entire experience a 1/5. For me, I'd give it another shot, but for the money, if we want a nicer dinner we would probably find somewhere else.

    Lots of snow - at times it hid the lighthouse.

    We finally made it to Snug Harbor for lunch today. The weather was horrible but we had an appointment that took us out anyway so we stopped in to try the place out. And damn! It was so good that there are about 6 other items I want to try. We both had French Onion soup to start and it was pretty good. I'm definitely going to order it again. I had steak and frites - very tasty- the frites were worth eating every last one. My wife had Croque Madame sandwich - that was good too. The kettle chips that came with it are also worth eating every last one too. Service was outstanding and friendly.

    Really nice views and fun to sit out and soak it all in! We had a reservation for a Saturday dinner on a busy holiday weekend, but nicely got seated on the top floor patio at a table closest to the water. Loved the spot! Food was good, not spectacular, but definitely hit the spot. We ordered: - Grand Haven Sushi Roll (tuna, salmon, cucumber, carrot, chive, ginger sake aioli) - Calamari (with roasted red pepper romesco) - Seabass with Potato in a Spanish tomato broth, tarragon chive oil, lemon - Side of Roasted Broccolini I loved the flavor of the sea bass dish, light, garlicky, herby. Thought the fish might have been a touch overcooked. Calamari was great, generous portion and super crispy, salty, with a unique dipping sauce. The broccolini was pretty plain (under seasoned and some parts fairly tough) but honestly it served its function which was that we really wanted to get in some veg, and appreciated how much of it we got. Sushi was good, the fish itself tasted fresh. I also tried a spicy tequila cocktail which was pleasant and refreshing. Actually pretty spicy with thick slices of jalapeños soaking in the drink (which I liked!) but not very strong. Will say it was very sunny the day we went though which meant it got pretty toasty! I had a scarf draped over my shoulders and arms for a bit of extra sun protection (and lots of sunscreen), but did see others around me getting a little burnt over the course of their meal. From the food alone (and considering cost), plus the heat, I'd say this is maybe a 3.5, but the views and overall ambiance definitely added to the experience too!

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

Yes, they have a small parking lot, and don't fret if you have the park on the street like we did, as we were seating promptly and it didn't feel too crowded. Since we were seated at high tops near the bar, the bar tender was our waitress, and she is literally the nicest, good energy, engaging human ever! She also whips up the custom, creative mimosa recipes, kudos to her for her awesomeness! I ordered the Shakshuka, flavorful, delicious, would order again. Even as a non-vegan, it was satisfying and would recommend to everyone. Husband had the 1964 Worlds Fair Waffle, and it was tiny. Not what you envision when you think of Belgian waffles. He also ordered the Belgian Forest Bacon, again VERY small portion, so much so that at the end of the meal, he had to order a side of the Smashed Maple Sausage. Both our drinks (I had the mimosa) were fantastic and worth ordering, loved the glassware! Aside from the small portions of waffle, bacon, and sausage, the cheerful vibes here are contagious, and I'd dine here again in a heartbeat!

Service was slow out of the gate -- despite our waiter hanging out with a table he clearly knew. Food didn't fare much better. We ordered the smash burger, which by definition should come with cheese and smash sauce -- that's the whole point of a smash burger, not an add-on. Ours came with neither, and even though it had two patties, we had to pay extra just to add a single slice of cheese. It was incredibly dry, even after adding that cheese and trying table condiments to compensate. The chicken tenders looked appetizing but the chicken itself was stringy and overcooked. Dessert was the low point. We ordered the Oreo cheesecake bites and waited over 20 minutes, only to be served what was essentially liquid pudding in a shooter glass with whipped cream on top. Our server admitted, "I didn't know I was supposed to make it" -- it seems the dessert needed time to set in the fridge and was served before it was ready. While we were waiting we heard another table complaining. The server responded "chill. It's all good". The table responded "actually it's not all good!" Three strikes and we're out. We won't be back.

For my main I ordered the POLISH PLATE ($18)  two kielbasa, three pierogies, cabbage roll and kapusta. This was excellent. The Kielbasa were tasty and just as good as dedicated Polish restaurants. The Kapusta is a Polish cabbage dish baked with onions, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. It was excellent, I don't think I've had it before, I'll definitely be having it again. I didn't think I like cabbage, at the very least, I like theirs alot. The pierogies were excellent and only needed the sour cream to be perfect. If you like Polish food, I definitely recommend this dish! The service was very friendly and efficient. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely.
