About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
Harbor Lights is the premier seafood house located in East Norwalk, CT. Located on the Norwalk Harbor, it offers well-prepared, attractively presented and sophisticated fare. Open year round, the glassed-in terrace allows for a comfortably heated dining experience in the winter without losing the outside dining experience in the summer. Our long dock in front of the restaurant provides plenty of room for boaters to tie up for lunch or dinner, and the dining room affords fantastic sunset views. Harbor Lights has been bringing the fresh refined flavors of the Mediterranean to Diners in Fairfield County for over a decade. The Prime sunset seating and views of the Harbor, the breeze, the um-brella-bedecked outdoor patio, unparalleled service and incredible food make this waterfront spot hard to resist.

    The atmosphere on the patio was beautiful and had such good vibes. Our group enjoyed the view and the music but food and service were both mid-level.

    This place, has the ability to be a great restaurant, but most of the staff is inexperienced and grumpy. It takes away from the dining experience when you feel the need to ask the waitress if she is having a bad day. Even if the waitress is having a bad day, she should have to put on her happy face.

    Our server was relentlessly pushing higher priced items onto our table. When I ordered a bottle of the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc responded “the cheapest bottle of wine?” Everything about our experience was great except for our service from him.

    Food was good.. nothing crazy. But service was awful, apps came out and we didn’t have silverware and nobody noticed it, our server was super cold and gave impression to be disgusted to be there, never checked on us, we ordered a side that never came out, even though I told her that we were still waiting for it; our bill was on the table before I even asked for it. I wish management would reply to reviews because it seem to be something that happens very often.

    It’s a beautiful location but the food is not good quality or well prepared. And the service was slow.
