Harbor View Cafe

That was the best breakfast at a restaurant I've ever had. My husband and I had never tried their breakfast until today. Wow it was so delicious. We cleaned our plates like two good 60 yr olds lol. Their home fries are killer! The omelette is cooked perfectly. I created my own with shrimp, swiss, mushroom, onion and spinach. My husband LOVED the vegetarian omelette with feta. He said the grits were great. High praise. Service is so sweet. Thanks Harbor View!

Good array of food options, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Unique setting

Place needs a major overhaul floors, walls and tablecloths While the food was good the portions were small for the price Especially the salad Will not be Back

Service was prompt and friendly. Food was very tasty. Prices are reasonable.

My wife and I dinned here this evening, 10/18/22 arriving at about 6:30 PM. We were greeted at the door by a young man that took us to our table.
Our server this evening was Marie.
She provided adequate service for us. Made table checks to see if we were in need of items.
The quality of eating utensils to me doesn't really impact my opinion of an establishment if it is clean and in good condition. My wife got a soup spoon with her cup of soup that had a roughed sharp edge on it that gave a small cut on the inside of her upper lip. Marie replaced with one that was okay. If you use the least expensive grade of utensils make sure it doesn't have rough edges.
I had a cup of Seafood Gumbo which had very good flavor and my wife had Roasted pepper soup also very good.
For dinner she order a Caesar Salad with chicken. The salad didn't seem chilled the greens were a bit wilted, there were no red onion slices and the Parmesan Cheese is the jar grade of powdered Parm. A bit of grated Parmesan would be better received. We asked Marie for the onion slices and she got them quickly.
I had a seafood combination platter. It came with fries, hushpuppies and a condiment cup of Cole Slaw. The condiment sauces were fairly ordinary and I chose not to use them.
On the whole this charming little restaurant that we remembered from 20 years ago with a solid reputation for quality left us a bit disappointed. Our food was mediocre at best. There are probably menu items they provide that are better. There seemed to be some patrons that very much enjoyed their PoBoys.
Marie did a very adequate job for us but there weren't many smiles to be seen in this restaurant. Not from the host or Marie, though I did manage to coax a few from her. She got 15%.
I was a bit disappointed with our visit. It could have and should have been better. In these times of short staffing, they seemed adequately staffed. Maybe a training issue, but smiles; there should have been some more smiles with more than the regulars that come in several times a week.
I tip an average server 15%. Better service with some more smiles and gets 20% and great service and and heaps of charm and smiles and proactivity gets 25%.
I have been a Chef of the Coast here having been a working chef from Biloxi as the Executive Chef of the once very busy Clubs of Keesler AFB to Chef de Cuisine of the fine dining room of The Amazing Randolph and Tuscany at The Hollywood Casino as The Casino Magic in Bay St. Louis. Connie and I also had a Catering business on the coast The Chefs' Lambert. Connie was the Catering Manager of the Coast Collaseum and ran the NCO Club on Keesler. We know a thing or two about the restaurant business.

I would like to add that the General Magager did respond to my review. This reaffirms my faith in the reputation of this long respected restaurant. We will return when we return to the coast and our beloved Long Beach, Mississippi.

Excellent food and service. And the view of the beach was great!

It was so hard to choose what to eat, as there were so many amazing choices. Yum! The chicken salad - wow!

Food is soooo fresh and very filling everything I try I love...I ate the loaded potato soup also and didn't take a picture bc it was gone too fast 😋

This was my third time dining here. I always come back for the food and the service. This time the service was lacking. I don’t like that they use popcorn shrimp in their salads, should be more like six or eight medium sized shrimp in my opinion. I ordered the grilled redfish and I thought it was excellent! I think next time I’m in the are I will venture out and try another local restaurant and give this place a break for a while. Not saying I would not come back, just didn’t wow me like it did that first time I visited here.

I went here several times over the years and the food has always been excellent and the service has always been above and beyond! Would recommend highly to anyone!
