"We were seated promptly and our request for a table with a waterfront view was honored. The food was wonderful and the pace was leisurely...we were not made to feel rushed at all."

"I booked this restaurant because we were staying at the hotel. In the Opentable special requests section, I told the restaurant that it was my wife's birthday and that it would be great if they could come out with a small dessert with a candle in it. I wasn't sure if they would actually read my message; however, they did read it and fulfilled my wish with over the top service. The dessert was delicious. The entire meal was delicious... my wife had the "Spice Rubbed Shrimp Fettuccini" and I had the "Shrimp & Corn Crusted Flounder"; both were excellent. Service was excellent. It was a memorable experience thanks to Harbour Lights. We will definitely be back."

"Out of the three dishes we ordered (appetizer and two entrees), two were excellent. One of the entrees was over-salted and seemed a bit too greasy. The service was great and our table had a beautiful view of the harbor."

"There were only a few tables occupied when we arrived at 7pm, and several more parties arrived shortly after we did. There was only one waitress available for the entire restaurant. We had to wait about 15 minutes before we could give our cocktail order and about another 15 before the cocktails to arrived. After our cocktails, we placed our dinner order and the pace picked up. Service was acceptable for the balance of our dinner, but the restaurant certainly could have used another waitress. My wife and I both had the Oysters Rockefeller appetizer, which was very good. My wife had a NY Strip steak for dinner, and I had Artic Char which was a special, cooked just right and very good. We always enjoy the food at Harbour Lights."

"We love the relaxed feel of this place - dark, small and cozy – like a comfortable living room. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The lamb was scrumptious and fell right off the bone just like our server said. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."

"This is the third time we have eaten here and it was definitely not quite the experience we had the first two times. We love this place and the chef is normally very good, but our fish was overdone this time and our waitress was certainly not what we experienced the first time. That being said, the bread is better than anywhere else we have been and the tomato basil gnocchi is an amazing side. Overall, we had a nice experience and would recommend it to anyone."
