In November 1994 the Hirsch family opened Harbor View Cafe in Pass Christian, MS. The family relocated to Mississippi from New Jersey where they owned and operated Ozzies restaurant in Long Port for 11 years. Harbor View quickly became a popular spot with friendly service, great food and a picture perfect view of the Pass Christian Harbor. In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina destroyed the Cafe. In March 2006 the Cafe reopened further off the water in Long Beach by Dana Hirsch-Barrett (the original chef/owner) and her partner Chef Thomas Barrett formally of the four star restaurant La Provence in Lacombe, Louisiana. Harbor View Cafe has once again become the restaurant where tourist and locals meet and eat.
