Harbor House Restaurant

Have you ever walked into a restaurant and instantly felt out of place?

That was me with this place. 
Located in Milwaukee, WI (don't go there.....ever.....I mean it!) this restaurant is right on the shore
of Lake Michigan near the museum.  It has a fantastic view with lots of windows surrounding you allowing you to look out over the city and the water.
The restaurant is expensive and serves what seems like the upper crust society of the city.  There is no dress code, but walking in in my casual wear made me feel pretty uncomfortable.
I got a big booth seat in the back as I was with a large party, and let me point out that I did not pick this restaurant.
Someone in my party did and I had to go along with it.
They serve mostly seafood, which I don't prefer considering how over fished the seas are and how a lot of other fish and animals die in nets cast by fisherman trying to get tuna, or what have you.
Anyway, I got a salad.  I tried something new - a roasted beet with goat cheese salad, sherry vinaigrette and dried apricots as well as pecans.
I hated every bite of it and I was too polite to send it back.
I also tried the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo, which was incredibly greasy and the chicken was bland.
For dessert I tried the trio of sorbet ( cherry, strawberry, and mango.)  The only one I liked was the strawberry and I gave the rest away to someone else at my table.

The service was a bit slow, but they are trying to give you enough time to eat each course....a bit too much time if you ask me.  We waited for at least 10-15 minutes before they asked for our dessert selections.

So, I'm not snotty so I didn't fit into this restaurant's normal clientele.
You have to think your pretty fantastic to dine here, and have no good working taste buds.  What I mean is that this place has a huge attitude.  It thinks it's much better than what it is and the food isn't good.

1 out 5 forks for having a beautiful view and nothing else.  Do not eat here.
Instead go The Melting Pot for a nice slow fantastic meal.
