Service was outstanding. I always choose to go to Dukes when going to Ruston for a date day. Had the Clam Bucket and clam chowder and husband had the Lobster Roll. Outstanding food!

About the restaurant

Welcome to Harbor Lights! For over 50 years we have been a staple in the Tacoma community. A rustic atmosphere that sits on the shore of Commencement Bay with scenic views providing the quintessential Northwest dining experience. Harbor Lights joined the Anthony's family on April 29th, 2000 after being the dream of Anton Barcott, an immigrant from Yugoslavia. On January 26, 1959 Anton opened Harbor Lights among the lumber mills and shipyards along the waterfront. We are well known for serving large portions of seafood such as the two pound bucket of steamed clams and have a loyal following of wonderful guests!

this dining experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The waterfront view added a serene and scenic backdrop that elevated the entire evening. What truly set this place apart, though, was the service. Our server was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience memorable. Every detail, from the timing of the courses to the thoughtful recommendations, was handled with care. This restaurant is a true gem—I can't wait to return!

We had a delicious, fun birthday dinner. Our table by was by the window with a great view. Our server, Kristi was spot on and was so accommodating and friendly. The scallops were cooked to perfection, as was the blackened cod. The prime rib was very tasty, but had a lot of fat so the manager quickly added another slice of lean prime rib. The blue cheese salad was delicious!! This was an outstanding birthday dinner, the only possible negative we could think of was that nothing special was done for my son‘s birthday. I remember the days when they would have a special card on the table and a dessert. What a great restaurant, we can’t wait to return!

McMenamins Elks Temple offers a truly memorable experience with its stunning atmosphere, great value, and high-quality food. The unique setting and service made for a wonderful evening, and the pricing felt fair for such a well-loved spot. That said, while everything we ordered was tasty, the menu itself leans heavily toward casual, bar-style fare—lots of fried items and basic burgers. For a venue that often requires reservations and carries a sense of occasion, it would be nice to see a few more elevated or mature dining options added to the mix.
