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.
