Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Whitefish Bay

The food was fantastic, and our server Mars was top-notch!

We haven’t been to this location since it was Pieces of Eight back in the 80!s. Harbor House is such a great reimagining of the space. The decore and layout is elegant and energetic with the open kitchen concept well executed. Service was above and beyond, with the kitchen and staff offering to make a perfectly executed off-menu item (shrimp alfredo) for my daughter on a busy Saturday night. I asked for a menu change as well, and they happily agreed. The food was all A+, with all 6 people greatly enjoying their meals and wine selections.

This has become my second favorite restaurant in the Third Ward. The service is outstanding at the bar and while eating and the noise level make it easy to talk with the people you are with. People of all ages eating there, so very fun. The menu is exactly what you expect and the ribeye is as good as it gets. Medium rare was the exact temperature our server suggested.

We had an early reservation because we were going to a concert. We were initially seated in a quiet dining room and my wife asked to switch to a more lively area, which they did without hesitation. Our waiters, Stanley and Diana were an awesome duo curating our experience. Friendly and knowledgeable, and just the right presence. Our steaks were superb. I got the bone in ribeye and my wife the petite filet and it was so well seasoned I didn’t have to ask for salt! For a starter I had the lobster bisque with large chunks of lobster and my wife got the wedge salad which the waiter offered to have chopped for her. Of course. Nice touch. They have an excellent wine list. We started with a Latour 1er Cru and then to a Spottswood Cab which was served in a crazy long gooseneck decanter. The waiter was standing about 6 feet away to pour. It was fun and we had a Super experience. I loved this place.

Everything was delightful! Wonderful and attentive server, Kayla - awesome! The food was outstanding - beautifully prepared and presented. Drinks were excellent! Love the ambiance and added perk was the holiday decor which made the space even more welcoming. We had several noisy tables around us which was a little disappointing for our table. Overall, however, a great experience and wonderful vibe.
