We just had an incredible dinner at Harbour at Canal Square. September is the BEST time of year for crab dishes, and the weather is perfect this week. Highly recommend making your own reservations for the patio if you love seafood with a pretty view.

We celebrated my wife's birthday for the 2nd year in a row here and there is a reason that we returned. The food is just outstanding and the ambiance by the water is very peaceful and relaxing. We ate outside on the deck and we love that they don't play music outside and just let the sounds of the water and breeze be our background music! Conversation is very easily! It became a little chilly for my wife and they offered her a blanket to wrap around her shoulders which really kept her warm throughout the meal. The scallops and crab crake entrées were to die for! Afterwards, the Potpourri Pie with vanilla ice cream is probably the best dessert on the menu! Give it a try and see if you agree! Ghandi our waiter was just fantastic and very attentive and helpful! Thank You for making my wife's Birthday dinner another great one! This is definitely in the top 3 of our favorite restaurants! We will eat here again next year when we are back in Delaware! :-)

View is excellent from the patio, food for the most part was very good - appetizers excellent, dinner- crab cakes, swordfish all delicious but one person (2 couples) had the brisket and although it was tender it just didn’t taste right. They do charge for bread (which so many restaurants do now) but at least here you got a full basket . Overall an excellent choice for a delicious dinner!

I took my significant other for the second time. We had a bad experience on Mother’s Day. I always liked it so we tried it again. I was really looking forward to the Halibut but it was sold out. The only other fish had cous cous which I despise and there are no substituting. The waiter actually came over after we ordered to tell me to select something else. I tried the vegetable risotto and it was just ok. We had a cheeseboard, which was good and but the crab soup had very very little crab. My partner had the brisket. He did not like the glaze. I love the ambiance and I really wanted to love the meal. I’ve been here a several times and really liked it when it was Gilligans but sad to say, our $200 dinner was a disappointment

Another fabulous meal at Harbour. Great selection for craft cocktails. The fried calamari appetizer was crisp and tasty. We enjoyed the duck breast, tuna, and scallops. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. Dessert was a fruit pie with vanilla ice cream, a great finish to a great meal.

Great experience last night at the Harbour Restaurant at Canal Square. We had a 7:00 reservation and were seated immediately at a canal front table. Our server, Dan, was polite and knowledgeable with just the right amount of attentiveness. We had calamari, crab cakes and tuna - all were well prepared and delicious. We'll definitely go back.

Our waitress Bonnie was outstanding as usual. We have dined @ Harbour every time we are in Lewes visiting family, and we have dined with Bonnie.
