We visited Harbor Lights with a group of four, and overall we had a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant specializes in seafood and offers a wide selection, although I’d describe the prices as slightly above average. To start, we shared the Dungeness Crab, Shrimp & Artichoke Dip, and it was the highlight of the meal. It was rich, creamy, packed with seafood, and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend ordering it to share. I had the Blackened Northwest Rockfish, which was cooked very well and topped with a fresh pineapple salsa. The salsa also included kiwi, which was an unexpect
We had a gorgeous patio view with a bay show including jellyfish & a seal. 😍 Mini-Baked Crab, Shrimp, and Artichoke dip with sourdough was delicious. We took the leftover sourdough home had it for breakfast. I had the Captains Platter with true cod, salmon, calamari & halibut substituted for prawns at my request. It was all cooked to perfection and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My daughter loves the rockfish and had that dish again. 😋 We had cocktails that were great but forgot to take a photo. Service was fantastic.
We were visiting relatives and they took us here. Since it was mother's Day the ladies got a complementary champagne flute. We started with some appetizers of scallops and fried oysters. I enjoyed both, my wife didn't care for the oysters. For the main course, my wife had the shrimp/ prawns and loved them. I had the Captains platter, which had shrimp, calamari strips, baked fish which included halibut, cod, and salmon. The other parties had Steak Oscar with baked potatoes, and baked fish with fries. (Sorry no pictures of those). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was light and airy.
We went for the early bird 3 course dinner, it was good. We had sourdough bread, salad, salmon, prawns and burnt crème/chocolate mousse for dessert, plus 2 drinks. $95 plus tip. Views were awesome, the service was ok, parking is across the street, the place is pretty dated and could use a good cleaning(table and salt shakers were dirty)
Excellent dinner at Harbor Lights. Troy was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and provided outstanding service. The halibut was phenomenal, the blackened rockfish was delicious, and the strawberry shortcake was the perfect finish. We’ll definitely be back!
