Harbor Lights is a hidden gem along Tacoma's waterfront! 🌊 The seafood is fresh and flavorful, with the grilled salmon stealing the show.

The outdoor seating offers stunning views and a cozy vibe, perfect for a romantic dinner or a casual family meal. The service was impressively fast, and I loved the diverse tea selection to accompany my dessert. 🍰

Don't miss the happy-hour specials - they're a fantastic way to try multiple small plates. Plus, they’re very accommodating for families! Highly recommend for a delicious seafood experience. Would definitely come back! 😊
