I sure do enjoy Adult Night Out! But….I just might have to change my routine a little. I start every Adult Night Out with a martini. As a result, I remember the beginning of the night and the end! What a light weight I am!

Harbor Inn’s bar and grill on the water was fantastic! It was a warm sunny day but there was a great breeze. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t on vacation on the shore! The bartenders were prompt and cheerful. My drink was a little expensive but it was probably the biggest martini that I have ever had!

Next comes the part about our service, the decor of the interior and how much I enjoyed my food. I just have no idea! I am told that my husband and I had Crab and Mushroom Au Gratin. ($7.99) The plate was empty and I had red sauce on my shirt so I imagine that I liked it! I had the Alaskan Snow Crab Legs and they were great! ($23.99) The crab legs were of good

quality but they were no different than the ones that I get closer to home.

For me, the time on the lake was worth the whole evening. It is what my husband and I call an “expensive night out”. Our total check was about $125.00.

The Harbor Inn is located in Akron Ohio, right on the Portage Lakes. The first thing that I noticed was the building itself. Its a very unique shape and there are two levels, the downstairs part is the bar and it runs along a dock where tables and chairs are seat up. Really reminded me of the islands for a moment, being on the water like that. Loved it! The upstairs is the main restaurant and it’s decorated with a maritime theme. Again, very nice. We were seated right on time. The menu isn’t as extensive as I might of liked but hosted a variety of interesting selections. I was limited to the softer side of things, due to the removal of all my wisdom teeth! So I chose a stuffed mushroom appetizer and a lobster alfredo. Ralph had a filet steak. The food was rather pricey for the quantity. We both ordered dessert as well, which we rarely have room for - though I have to say the chocolate bomb I had was really very good. Almost better than my alfredo!

The service left something to be desired. We had to ask for refills numerous times as well as other things we needed. Not sure if it was just our waitress or if they were just that busy. Either way, I was not impressed with the service. The bar was the exception to that - the bartenders seemed to be really on it and I didn’t notice people being without drinks for very long.

Overall, I would go back but only when I had the extra money to spare!
