Harbor View Grille is committed to using local resources and reducing our carbon footprint on this earth. We recycle as much as currently possible and are always looking for new ways to respect, replace and value our local resources.

Harbor View Grille has gone paperless!

I believe that we are the 1st restaurant in the county to have a completely paper less payroll system...everyone has direct deposit & the bank emails their paystub..... just one more step to help make a difference...........

The following is a press release from the company we buy our chemicals from:

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug 07, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) --


Ecolab Inc. today introduced Apex(TM), a new warewashing system that helps restaurants gain better control of their warewashing process by decreasing costs and environmental impact through optimized efficiency.

Apex uses a unique combination of products, equipment and consultative services to address the operational challenges in foodservice warewashing. A complete warewashing system, the Apex products include four detergents, two rinse additives, a presoak and manual pot and pan detergent.

      In addition, the Apex system further supports Ecolab's sustainability initiative with non-caustic chemistry and 95 percent less packaging material. Apex products come in a compact solid form that significantly reduces transportation shipments compared to bulkier liquid detergents. The new product line also includes a low-temperature dishmachine program called Apex(TM) TSC that has the same operational efficiency reporting capabilities. With the addition of a new solid dishmachine EPA-registered sanitizer, the Apex TSC is the first all solid low temp dishmachine program in the industry.
