Wow!!!! View 10/10…read more A waterfront view and they give you blankets if you are too cold. Absolutely stunning and can eat inside if you like and will still have a view of the water. 10/10. Those that got seafood thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. A hamburger was ordered and usually that is hit and miss (understandably) at a seafood restaurant. It was not a miss. And the fries are piping hot. Desserts usually aren't made in house anymore but if these weren't they sure tasted like they were. Local peaches took the center stage. I think I needed stretchy pants for all this food but totally worth it. Oh, and both cocktails and mocktails were delicious. A little delay on food but they kept us in the loop and hard to beat the view while waiting. Special occasion or any occasion would go back again in a heartbeat.

This restaurant is the DEFINITION of 3 stars…read more Positives: - Location. In Gig Harbor proper right on the harbor. - View. Giant windows. Great view of the harbor and the mountain from almost every table. - Staff. They are kind, generally competent and care about food allergy needs (celiac in this case) Negatives: - Quality. The food and drinks are so average it's painful. Generally fine, relatively bland and just meh in almost every way. - Price. Bordering on outrageous. Particularly for what you're getting. $10 for a little CUP of clam chowder? Over $30 for a SINGLE crab cake? Crazy. I've had both kinda good, and kinda bad experiences here. Never great, never terrible. Given the overall mediocre quality of restaurants in Gig Harbor, Anthony's is about average. You probably won't be largely disappointed but you definitely will not be impressed. Come enjoy the setting with tempered expectations. You'll be fine.

I've been coming to Harbor Lights for years--mainly for what used to be my all-time favorite shrimp…read morecocktail and to check out their special fruit drinks. Today was supposed to be a quick, light stop after work: shrimp cocktail, a couple drinks, and some time in the old Harbor Lights bar. Walking in, I was immediately reminded of one of my biggest frustrations with this space. Yes, it's small--but the outdated tables and chairs make it far too easy for people to block the walkways. And when those walkways are filled with loud, inappropriate, "stuck-in-1976" commentary from intoxicated older men acting like they're still in their 20s, it makes navigating the room even more uncomfortable. At one point, we were stuck sitting there listening to them loudly joke about having female urologists and proctologists--one word: GROSS. Speaking up doesn't feel like a safe or worthwhile option--it just escalates things. The bar could absolutely keep its charm while still evolving into a more comfortable, modern, and inclusive space. Then there's the menu situation--multiple menus stacked in front of you like a paper shuffle. It's unnecessary and could easily be streamlined. Now, the drinks... this is where things really fell off. Harbor Lights used to be known for strong drinks--that reputation feels long gone. I ordered a vodka-based drink and it went down like juice--no taste, no kick, nothing. When I asked for a double on the second round, the bartender laughed and said all their drinks are doubles and that they don't measure, claiming there was 2 1/2 oz of liquor in it. We watched him make it: no measuring, just a free pour over ice, stopping well short of the top, then filling it with rhubarb-strawberry purée. When it arrived, it felt more dropped on the table than served. I gave it a fair shot--a big sip--and again... no vodka taste whatsoever. No burn, no effect. I know my liquor, and this didn't add up. It really makes you question what's actually being poured. And then... the shrimp cocktail. How do you mess this up? This was the one thing I could always count on. It's always been unique and consistently good--but this time? Way too much horseradish. Completely threw off the balance. I still ate it, but it was not the same experience at all. Overall, this visit was disappointing. Between the uncomfortable atmosphere, lackluster drinks, and a once-reliable favorite falling short, Harbor Lights just isn't what it used to be.

I ordered the Cookie Butter Chai Latte and Split Decision Sampler (pearl sugar and southern waffle, two eggs and choice of bacon or pork sausage). My boyfriend ordered the Bergamot London Fog. I didn't take a picture of the food he ordered, but it was one of the specialty eggs entrees. I was a little underwhelmed by my entree choice, however it was still good. I didn't want to be too stuffed, so it was a good choice overall. The service was great. Super friendly and energetic staff working, which made it a great experience.

Cute inside and pretty comparable to other hibachi places I've been to. Service was good and our chefs were really cool! I got the steak and the chicken teppanyaki meal and it was great! It comes with a house salad, mushroom soup, two pieces of shrimp, with fried rice or fried noodle. The salad was good and I liked the dressing with it. Mushroom soup was also tasty. I normally ALWAYS do fried rice so I decided to try the fried noodle this time and I don't think I could go back to the rice. The noodles were SO good - the fried rice was also tasty but I'm obsessed with the noodles. Both my chicken and steak were cooked well and tasted great. Overall a solid choice for hibachi but I think that Tokyo's in Federal Way is still my number one favorite.
