I have driven by Harbor Lights since I was in high school, and here I was making my first actual visit. I was surprised how much smaller this restaurant is than the other shoreline behemoths I've been to. And that made it unexpectedly cozier and quieter, which was a blessing in this era of ear-splitting restaurant ambience. Our server was top-notch, we were seated promptly, and the view was excellent. My only complaint -- and it's not really a complaint -- is that the food was OK, but not great. That would be fine if the prices weren't so high, but this is what I've come to expect from Anthony's so no surprises there. So, if you're in the mood to enjoy a dining experience that's stood the test of time, I'd recommend Harbor Lights. If, on the other hand, you're in the mood for exceptional food that lives up to the high price tag, I'd look elsewhere.

We were promptly seated. The waitress was helpful in making recommendations. The food was phenomenal. I have been wanting to go here for years and was not disappointed!

We have eaten at Harbor Lights before, but not for a long time. We really enjoyed ourselves. I had the halibut and beurre blanc sauce. It was cooked perfectly. It's nice to be somewhere where the view is outstanding no matter where you sit.

Cute spot with nice water views and friendly service. They pour a stiff drink but also have tasty n/a options. Their clam chowder is unique (a white chowder without the cream) but very yummy! Their portions are generous. The fish and chips had great fries and the fish had a nice panko breading and was very tasty. The king crab legs comes without the shell and you get a ton of meat! Pricy but worth it. I got two meals out of it.

Having made a reservation far in advance, with the note that a window table was requested for our anniversary dinner, when we arrived on time, after some wait, we were seated far away from the windows--when queried the hostess said, "well we're busy at this time of day". We had dined here some years ago--the menu remained interesting" the season special peach salad was outstanding; our entries were also very good. When the special peach sundae desert was served, it lacked the promised peach topping. All in all, it was an okay dining experience, but having been trying to revisit our earlier Harbor Lights happiness, it was something of a disappointment. And, one must acknowledge that it is a popular, crowded restaurant and the result is a level of noise that makes conversation across a table challenging.

We enjoy coming to Harbor lights. They are running their peach specials so we had to stop in and give it a try. Had the northwest peach salad and the peach slump which is like a cobbler both were delicious. Had a window table on a lovely sunny day perfect. Service is always stellar.

Early bird dinner was good deal,mostly. Although, salmon was little tasteless even with the sauce provided.

Wonderful service! We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The staff were very friendly and we were seated right away upon arrival. As always, everything was top notch. We have been coming to Harbor Lights for twenty years. The food, drinks and service are hands down ALWAYS the best!

My wife and I had one experience that was less than stellar a week ago. Manager Andy jumped right on it, offered two full meals free of charge to make things right, and assured us of an awesome dinner experience. And indeed they delivered! Everything was awesome, from hospitalty, to service to food. All, delicious! Thank you for making it right! Will dine again!
The food was not very good. The fish didn't taste fresh and the salmon didn't taste like salmon.

We had a wonderful meal with well timed and polite service. They have seasonal cocktail and food specials (the theme at this time of year is peach season) that rotate so there's always something new!

First let me start off by saying I have a SERVICE ANIMAL.. the hostess started off by asking for PAPERWORK.. which is ILLEGAL, I asked to talk to a manager. She went on to say that is was ANTHONY'S policy to view papers.
I told her that's a HIPPA violation. She may ask what tasks my dog was trained to perform but couldn't ask me to prove I'm disabled. She said she's only doing what her manager instructed. I again asked for a manager. A gentleman who was at the stand, then asked if my dog would stay under the table, if he was house broken, and if he would disturb other guests? (Yes, yes, no). Then he seated up outside.
I was very put off by this, however the view was BEAUTIFUL & weather was amazing. Our waiter, Scott, was absolutely incredible and the food delicious. While I believe I was discriminated against and they DEFINITELY are not following federal or state laws, it's more about education.

We had a lovely table by the water. Our out of town guests were very impressed. Our server, however, seemed a little off. He mixed up our orders and our food wasn't hot enough. Our water glasses were only filled once.
