Harbor House Restaurant had a 25 seat dining room but now offers seating on its back deck overlooking the Pacific coastline. The Inn is in a 1916 logger’s retreat that has 9 rooms which were restored in 2018 by a 5 year remodeling. Chef Matthew Kammerer uses exceptional local products based on the season to produce a seafood based tasting menu that is cooked with fire and steam. The restaurant has one Michelin star and Chef Kammerer was named as a Best New Chef in 2019 Food & Wine Magazine. They serve only a tasting menu of 9 savory and 2 sweet courses, with wine pairings available. It is a pre-paid menu and not available on Tuesday and Wednesday. There is plenty of parking out front and a selection of accommodations if you wish to stay there also. The view is as magnificent as the food and they have a couple large awnings to provide some shade when the sun is up. Later in the evening they roll those back and turn on the lights that are strung above and the portable heaters. Staff were all friendly, helpful, masked and gloved and I noticed even during prep time in the kitchen the staff all wore masks. Chef Kammerer does come out to serve some of the courses and visit with guests.
