   Always love the Lights! Our server, a gentleman, wasn't very attentive. The other party had coffee right away and was not offered more. We asked when we ordered dessert. The restaurant was far from busy! All delicious as usual!

   We really enjoyed our time! Saturday night, prime time! Of course they were very busy, but still did well with service and the food was definitely worth the wait. Generous portions and delicious. We can see why it’s a local favorite. Thank you!

    Food was delicious and a good value. We had the twilight special with the salmon. Nancy was our server. She was knowledgeable and offered appropriate suggestions. Her service was great! We were not rushed which was nice! I would definitely return!

    The food (halibut and seafood pasta) was excellent. The cost of the sunset special has increased to the point of not being the bargain it used to be.

    We have been dining at Harbor Lights for many years, the view out over Commencement Bay is wonderful. While there are plenty of swanky spots in Tacoma theses days it is enjoyable to dine in a place that has stayed pretty much the same for the last 40 years. The staff is professional and courteous; food is well prepared and quite good, atmosphere is NW Casual.

    My friend and I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was great tender and moist with no grease in the batter. French fries were really good again with no greasy residue. Excellent service very attentive. I would definitely recommend the fish and chips.

    We were greeted cheerfully and escorted to a water view table (although it was dark which limited the ambiance). The hostess and server were attentive without being overbearing and answered any questions we had. We ordered fish and chips because Harbor Lights is the only place in town with panko-breaded cod and I love crisp and crunchy fish. I ordered mine extra crisp and it was. The fish and the chips were excellent - the slaw pretty ordinary. The beer was very cold and delicious. All in all an enjoyable evening with the sole exception of the adjacent table inhabited by a man who was deeply in love with his own voice and didn't shut up the entire time we were there, Not the restaurant's fault.

    I understand why you rate noise at level 4 as energetic, that's a very good attempt at a positive spin, however, the noise was awful, everyone was loud and being able to hear at your own table was difficult and discouraging. Although the food and service was excellent we won't come back due to the noise level.

    Out of one of the 4 specials, the one we wanted. No substitute. Fairly limited menu overall. We had hoped for a better experience for anniversary dinner.

    I usually don’t post reviews but I was so disappointed with the food. My steak and mashed potatoes were awful. Flavor was completely underwhelming. Mashed potatoes were runny and tasteless. On a positive note, our server was great and a window table was nice.

    Early dinner on New Year’s Eve, staff was friendly and welcoming. Server was great, very attentive with a sense of humor. Calamari strips were tasty, scallops were cooked to perfection and the burnt cream was a great finish. Overall a very pleasant evening.

    Was very busy because of the holiday…New Year Eve. We got a window table and saw an otter family and a seal swim past the restaurant. Food was great and we were happy to see that fried crab legs were back on the menu…expensive but worth it.

    We made reservations for 6:00pm on a Thursday night. It was our 26th wedding anniversary. We sat in the lower section by the window a perfect view of the Puget Sound. My wife had the crab legs seared with a baked potato which both were perfectly cooked. I had the Ocean prawns. Peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert was excellent. The server was very attentive. It was a very pleasant time. It was very noisy and difficult to converse. I highly recommend this restaurant. We’ve been coming here for years

    The restaurant was very busy so we could understand the delay in being seated, despite the fact that we had reservations. However, pace of service was haphazard and slow. Our server was very good but stretched too thin. Food was excellent. I had the wild Alaskan scallops- delicious. The butter sauce was a bit heavy but I like it that way.

    Terrible food. Lobster was way over cooked. They brought another, and that new one was way under cooked. Our scallops were over cooked too. Steak was burnt and not good at all. Nothing there was good. Service was terrible. Waitress was short with her words, wasn’t helpful and she just looked like she hated her job. It rolled over into her service.

    The food was excellent. We had the Sunset Dinner special, which is a great deal. If you are going to sit and chat be prepared for no service after your meal. They didn't even ask if we wanted after dinner coffee. Overall great. I'll be back.
