   Went for my birthday. Had my favorite dinner which was the Ocean prawns, French fries, and a green salad with their special homemade thousand island dressing. Enjoyed my whiskey and coke drink. The server even sang happy birthday to me along with my wife. At times it was fairly noisy because of the foursome sitting next to us but this restaurant never disappoints with their food.

   A comfortable setting right over Puget Sound with delicious food. What's not to like?

   It was busy but the food was subpar for what they charge… I got a Ribeye steak that was not really that good and my daughter got the seafood Mac and cheese with crab and it had bits of crab shells in it, and the portion was more like a side dish than a main entree. Used to love going there now I’m not sure if we will go back

   Our reservation for four was 7 pm, Thursday. We were placed in a six top in the highest traffic area of the restaurant. The restaurant was fully booked. The noise was so loud you needed to yell (moderately) to talk to your party across the table. We talked to the manager on leaving about finding a best time to reserve a table to avoid the excessive noise level. His suggestion was 5 pm. Little early for us. , The food & service are excellent but if you want to meet snd share a restaurant meal with family or friends, beware of the noise.

   We have enjoyed dining at Harbor Lights for many years and I’m a huge fan of their house made Thousand Island dressing. Our only complaint is the noise level. We both wear hearing aids and the level of background noise we can barely hear each other speaking. I would suggest that they invest in some acoustic panels that would absorb much of the noise. Otherwise we love it!

   The neighboring table that arrived after we had been seated were very loud. My husband has a hearing aid and it was difficult for us to speak to each other. Also, you should look into replacing the carpet. It looks pretty rough.
