I had monthly lunch with my sisters. They sat us on the corner window seats which was in my opinion the best table in the house. Food was delicious. The waiter was attentive. Service was immaculate. Nice lunch menu. I had the oysters which was delicious. We had Mai tais which were also wonderful. Overall great experience! Would definitely recommend
My husband and I had the Salmon Risotto. Delicious! Our meal included an appetizer (my husband had a delicious salmon chowder and I had a wonderful Caesar salad). It also included dessert (my husband enjoyed chocolate mousse and mine was a pumpkin brûlée). Everyone at our table ordered something with salmon. We were amazed at the generous wine pours. Service was great. We will be back.
We were seated at a table with a magnificent view. The meal got off to a good start. But when our main course arrived, the vegetables and the potatoes were not hot. And when we requested help with this, the server brought another cold potato. We've eaten at Harbor lights in the past and had great experiences. And I'm not gonna let this interfere with my returning. But I gotta say, our server missed out on a great tip. Because I usually tip 20 to 25%.
Celebrating my mother's birthday on 10/11/2025 and they were so nice and accommodating. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful, even a cloudy Seattle day. The only minor comment would be that the "water girl" person filling the glasses, to have a more customer service friendliness. She did not speak, smile or acknowledge when we thanked her. But overall, the day was beautiful and we'll be back
The hostess was NOT welcoming at all. It felt like she didn't want us there. Our server was nice and attentive. The server was Lydia. Clams, crab and bread, all delicious. The Caesar salad needs some work. Drinks from the bar were also very good.
A member of our parties steak was supposed to be medium rare and it was well done, but didn't want to send the steak back for waste. The waitress was inattentive never offered us second beverages and two of the members our party wanted more alcoholic beverages. They only had one each the waitress never asked if we wanted more water or checked in with us. She never did that. We will not be going back it was too much money for the low service.
I have been a diner at Harbor Lights for close to 30 years and it only got better when it was purchases by Anthonies. It's even more of a one-of-a-kind experience now and has some of the best views. But the food keeps bringing me back! Best food for the dollar! Always enjoyable.
Excellent food and service! It was a beautiful evening and the view was spectacular on the waterfront.
Good variety of options on the menu. Wonderful service, attentive but not intrusive. Food and drinks were excellent! Plan to go back for dessert some time since we were too full after dinner!
We had reservations and were seated after a very short wait. While we weren't next to a window we still had a nice view of the bay. We both ordered a huckleberry drink, it was delicious! I love how they incorporate the seasonal fruit into their menu. We ordered the burrata and heirloom tomatoes...it was wonderful. The entrees we great as well, shrimp scampi and the fresh halibut with a huckleberry sauce.

Delicious and very fresh food, beautiful setting, and very attentive service. I've been coming here my whole life and will continue to do so!
Halibut was cooked perfectly. Oysters were awesome. Service was personable . Deana did a fantastic job. Loved the peach ice cream.
Loved dining at Harbor Lights! It was a birthday night for us and the staff was terrific. Lots of choices on the many menus! Always a great experience!
Great place. The food was amazing. They went above and beyond with a Happy Anniversary gift for us. We will definitely be back.
Let me start by saying how great our waiter was. This review has no reflection on him. My wife and I wanted to start with a shrimp appetizer. So we ordered 6 deep fried prawns. When they arrived to the table I noticed they were only a panko bread crumb coating and they were all over cooked on the verge of being burnt. Then I noticed the black hair that was sitting on top of the tarter sauce that was provided. I brought this to the waiters attention and he was apologetic and embarrassed. This was not the dinner experience I was looking for when I was taking my wife out for an Anniversary dinner. Honestly it was a $170.00 dinner for two that I will not return to do again.
