About the restaurant

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!

Staff worked so hard to get the six of us a window table! The fish quality, portion sizes, preparation and medium-rare doneness were stellar. I'm going back soon!

Leschi / Madrona / Madison Park

About the restaurant

We opened The 3rd BluWater Bistro location in the Leschi neighborhood on March 13, 2004. Mick McHugh handed the reigns over to us after 22 successful years of running the Leschi Lake Café. With a slight remodel we cozy'd up the place, added some fantastic rollback windows, high back booths, some flat screen TV's, and leather furniture by the fireplace. The menu reflects all the goodness that a cozy bistro should offer, including the ever famous & popular "Lake Side Café" Fish and Chips... gotta keep the neighborhood happy. Stop in for some brunch on the weekends or some late night food.

About the restaurant

Raised on fresh fare harvested on-property and throughout the communities of Central Washington, we take pride in serving the same locally sourced food and drink at Gamble Sands. Fresh-baked bread, juicy just-picked produce are just a few down-home delicacies on the menu.
Same goes for our beverages – craft beer and regional wine selections fill the menu. And, as a year-round destination, many of the dishes feature the ripeness of seasonal flavors.
Danny Boy Bar & Grill is a gathering place for golfers and casual diners alike. Large garage-style doors roll open to reveal the golf course and practice green in the foreground as well as views of the Cascades and Columbia River Valley on the horizon.
