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!

    Wife and I enjoyed the Northwest Salmon dinner from their 3 course sunset dinner menu. The food was very good as was the service. A most enjoyable waterside setting and a very good value for the money.

    Most of the food was delicious. My husband had the mac and cheese with shrimp. It was more like soup than mac and cheese. He said it tasted good but that he wouldn’t order it again. My halibut was delicious!

    Our server was exceptional. We wanted the fillet mignon, which they ran out of and they substituted with a grisly, hard to chew, ribeye that did not have any flavor. The drinks and appetizer were delicious.

    My wife and I are meat lovers so we both had steaks. They were done to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect evening.

    The gentlemen who seated us I believe his name is Andy is just dear man very polite and gracious. We decided to go ahead to the bar for happy hour and our waitress. We’ve had her many times. She is just so nice and we look forward to her being our Waitress many times in the future. We drive all the way from Roy for every special occasion and I celebrated my 70th birthday there on the 17th. It was fabulous. We all had such a good time. That evening there was a lady hostess and I’m sorry but I do not remember her name but I will make sure to make a mental note. Next time we come in and she’s seating us. She is just a deer so very, very nice. We’ve been fans for 25 years🥰
