The options were fantastic being vegetarians. The cocktails were excellent. And the portion sizes are what you want in a tapas/shared plate restaurant. This restaurant is one of my new favorites when in Milwaukee.

First of all I must compliment our server, Samantha L., she was delightful. She gave us the specials & also the history on the Harbor Burger. I must confess we are not big fans of seafood & since it was lunch time ordered the burgers—they were awesome along with the fries. We love looking out at the Lake Michigan.

The knick is always a go-to for great food (the shrimp in the shrimp tacos was perfectly prepared!) and attentive service from Nick and Dylan. Good place to go with a small group as well, since it's quiet enough to hear the conversation.
