What PalmSpringsDiner likes about Harbor Lights :
When we asked locals for a suggestion for a fun, waterside restaurant with great service and outstanding seafood, nearly all of them suggested Harbor Lights. After dining at Harbor Lights, we could easily understand why! Lovely view, friendly and attentive staff, food exquisitely prepared and served, and fair prices. Though we ordered some of the priciest items on the menu, we shared a main, salad, soup, and desert;... View all feedback. What MattF doesn't like about Harbor Lights :
The service was great. The food is expensive and not great. Sorry. My salad was frozen. My steak was charcoaled instead of medium well. ? the green beans under cooked. The flavor was good though. View all feedback.

Good food, good service. Clam Chowder is not a good choice, but everything else is bomb. Food came quite fast

Loves this wonderful stream from the past with its current menu!

The restaurant in question has received a mix of reviews from diners. Some customers have criticized the food, with complaints ranging from frozen salad to greasy hash browns and lackluster shrimp cocktail. However, others have praised the deliciously cooked dishes, including the lobster and halibut entrees. The service has also received mixed feedback, with some highlighting great service from attentive staff members and others noting a lack of responsiveness from management. Despite the varying reviews, many diners appreciate the stunning views of the port of Tacoma and the overall ambiance of the waterfront location. Overall, the restaurant seems to be a staple in Tacoma, offering classic seafood dishes and old-school service in a scenic setting.
