| Locals keep coming back to The Harbor Grill for several reasons: The fresh seafood is prepared in a variety of styles ranging from Southwestern to Cajun to Pacific Rim; the atmosphere is friendly and gregarious; and the beautiful view of the harbor, together with the soothing piano music, ensures smooth sailing throughout a meal. Out-of-town friends and tourists are equally impressed; owners John and Wanda Hicks ensure that each guest feels at home immediately. Order a signature martini from the bar then peruse the various seafood specials. Menu standbys include Pacific swordfish marinated Japanese-style, grilled salmon with basil pesto, miso-glazed Chilean sea bass and shrimp Diane over black linguine. Sunday brunch offers Belgian waffles, several variations on eggs Benedict and a number of delicious seafood omelets. Other than the Veuve Clicquot and Dom Perignon, all of the selections on the two-page wine list are reasonably priced. |
