I cannot praise Harbor Lights enough. This restaurant was the venue for a baby shower and the whole experience was just perfect. The food was incredibly delicious. The staff was outstandingly attentive. They were always walking by at just the right time with the non-alcoholic refills for guests. The space was roomy, inviting and had beautiful waterfront views with access to the outdoor porch. Alexandria, the event coordinator, always responded quickly, was more than accommodating with a few menu switches and with the addition of the signature non-alcoholic drinks. Amazing experience and I look forward to dining there again.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the warmth of a true family-run restaurant. Owned by a wonderful brother-and-sister trio, this gem delivers an experience that goes far beyond a meal. The service is spectacular attentive, welcoming, and full of genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of their family.
Now, let’s talk about the food. Chef Jimmy is a master in the kitchen, and the stuffed shrimp dish is absolutely out of this world. Perfectly fresh, bursting with flavor, and cooked to perfection it’s easily one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had. Every bite tastes like it came straight from the ocean and was prepared with love and expertise.
The menu offers something for everyone, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and the wine list pairs beautifully with the seafood. Add in the amazing waterfront views, and you’ve got the perfect dining experience romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable.
This place is truly a standout. Between the food, the service, the atmosphere, and that incredible stuffed shrimp, it’s the kind of restaurant you’ll find yourself craving again and again!

in love with Harbor Lights! We had a fantastic dinner sitting by the water. The staff was attentive and professional, and the valet parking was appreciated. We’ll absolutely be keeping this in mind for beautiful water view restaurants

Absolutely in love with Harbor Lights! We had a fantastic dinner sitting by the water. The staff was attentive and professional, and the valet parking was appreciated. The view was stunning at sunset, and all of the food was delicious! We tried oysters Rockefeller for the first time here and were impressed. Beautiful presentations and a really nice menu with many more things we hope to come back and try. We’ll absolutely be keeping this in mind for beautiful water view restaurants in the state!

We had eaten at this restaurant before and always had good service & good food combined with a very nice view of the water. We ate there yesterday for their Thanksgiving prix fixe dinner.
Our first impression was of 2 young girls running & yelling back & forth in the dining room. It is not the responsibility of the staff to correct other people’s children but they should have said something to their parents to request that their children stay seated at their table. If we were at Chuck E Cheese we’d expect children to be running & yelling. You don’t expect it at a nice restaurant.
Then they were out of items that were on the menu. Our starters were brought to the table & we had to ask for silverware.
The salmon was good but the “slow roasted turkey” was clearly sliced turkey loaf. Seriously? For $68 per person not including drinks we did not expect low budget cafeteria food. We had to ask for the cranberry sauce that was listed on the menu.
We were one of the later seatings of the night and despite the restaurant only being about 1/3 full, the service was very slow.
I was seated facing the bar and throughout my entire dinner my view was of the staff polishing glasses and rolling silverware/napkins in the dining room.
With 2 prix fixe dinners, 2 drinks, 2 coffees & the automatic 20% gratuity we spent $250 for a mediocre meal and disappointing experience.
We will not be back.

This was more of an 4.5 stars experience. Beautiful location right on the water. Reserved this place for a bday celebration. Parking is a little tight but they do offer valet parking. Service was great. Very attentive. Gratuity was included in the bill. We tried a few items off their menu for appetizers. All were very delicious. For main meals we tried salmon dish, seafood risotto, fish and chips, fresh lobster, lobster roll. Overall very good but a few items to improve on. Lobster roll needed either a little butter or some sauce to bring it together. Seafood risotto clams were a little chewy. Everything else tasted great. We will definitely come back if we get a chance.

First time going here. Saturday was jammed. Be sure to valet. We did not have reservations, but they were able to get us in. I would recommend reservations and be able to sit outside at marina. I got the linguine vongole – very good. Others in my party got the lobster roll and prosciutto wrap. Calamari and oysters were great. Dessert was a miss. Seemed frozen or out of box. NY Cheescake and Key Lime Pie. They were fine. Waiter forgot about us for a bit and took forever to get drinks. I would come back.

It’s been a few years since I’ve eaten at Harbor Lights as we don’t live right in the area. I can’t recall what we previously ordered but this time I was very impressed. The warm lobster roll was very full and buttery! I’ve had a few lobster rolls in the last few years (good and bad) and this one was definitely on par with the best ones I’ve tried. My husband got the crab cake sandwich which was also very good. For dessert we both got the key lime pie which was delicious. It had a nice light crust and tart flavor. Beautiful presentation. My father in law got the crème brûlée which was equally as amazing. Thank you Harbor Lights for a lovely lunch. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the outside seating!

The location and view were absolutely beautiful, and the seating area was comfortable and relaxing. The service was okay, but there’s room for improvement. The food options were quite limited , it would be nice to see more variety on the menu. Additionally, the staff could be a bit more attentive and friendly to enhance the overall experience. Overall, it’s a lovely spot with great views, but the service and food selection could be better.

Went for an early Dinner on an April Saturday (5:15) was not crowded except for a wedding reception in a portion of the restaurant that, while loud, added a welcome distraction for my young child.
Starters were crab cakes, oysters, shrimp dumplings. I skipped oysters but crab cakes and dumplings were delicious. Especially the crab cakes!
All 4 adults had different mains – crab stuffed shrimp, hot lobster roll, lobster BLT, and cheeseburger. Everyone spoke very highly of their mains. My BLT was piled high with Lobster Salad. All servings were generous (not a guarantee when lobster and crab are involved!).
Our server Michelle was kind and attentive.
I found the beer prices to be good for the area/setting. Because of the youngster in the group we were in and out quite quickly and that was possible due to fast service!
I’ll definitely be back!
