The scallop pie served is wonderful and we love it. The waitress are very friendly and polite serving us and check on us refaeding the food.
Delicious food, friendly staff and excellent location. Always a winner!
Although food and service was good the cleanliness of the upstairs unisex toilet was of a very poor standard and needed more regular attention
Great service, nil noise issues - can hear each other without shouting, prompt service and delivery of food.
Food was delicious And service was on point Would recommend
We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a table with a great dockside view. Great food, great service and value for money. Says it all really. Recommended.
Always enjoy my visits here. Food is tasty and service great
Great Food, Great Service. Felt like an authentic Italian Restaurant in Italy and the food matched

Highly recommended place to visit for great coffee and great food

Overall Excellent, attentive service, delicious meal, fabulous coffee, definitely returning.
Thanks for the window table upstairs. Fab service and scallop pies.
Best scaloppini I have ever eaten. We will return. Excellent.
Very busy Saturday lunch time, but also very efficient. Great customer service with a smile and great meals!! Would eat here again without thinking twice.
The food was great, the ambiance was very nice and I would recommend it to everyone. I will definitely be going back there soon to try some of their other dishes.
Great friendly fast service at a reasonable price, staff managed to make my coffee extremely hot as I like which is always a challenge at cafe s. Loved the background jazz music playing
A great family business and consistently good service. Have enjoyed the food every time and love that it’s on the waterfront. Nice friendly, casual atmosphere.
Food is always excellent at Harbour Lights. They had two large groups in for xmas lunch so unfortunately only 1 person serving meant a long wait to order and a longer wait for our food.
very clean, staff friendly, nothing was too much trouble, meals were delivered in excellent time since some of guests were on a 30 minute lunch break... food was delicious.....
A very pleasant lunch. Good food and wine. Nice view of the water. Helpful staff. The del mare pizza was very good. We will be back
Fantastic food and service. The pancakes were delicious as was the lasagne. Will be recommending this restaurant to friends. View from upstairs is also worth a visit.
The gnocchi was very delicious and the service was exceptional. Would highly recommended dining here. We also shared a pizza and it did not disappoint. Will be back here when we are in Hobart next.
Meal was lovely, very filling very well priced Staff was very friendly and service was spot on, highly recommended for for everyone to go have a meal 10/10
Great food, service and location. The view of the harbour meant we saw all four seasons during lunch! Yachties pie was awesome and lasagna superb.
Pancakes were from a packet and therefore VERY over priced. Baked beans were from a can and nastily sweet. Eggs were excellent. Canneloni wasn't bad. Coffee was not very good at all. Music was too loud. Service was really really exceptionally good.
Very nice view, nice and not too expensive food and service. Pizza is delicious and our favorite is a Caesar Salad. Like sitting upstairs. Highly recommend.
Pleasant staff and service. Food delivered in a timely manner. Tasty, simple food but well done. Interesting photos of old Hobart Town surround the walls
Beautiful breakfast with fantastic views.We have had lunch here also and its always been very nice. Great service every time. Highly recommend Harbor Lights 10/10
Great location, excellent service & great simple Italian inspired menu. Especially enjoyed our upstairs table by the window with a view of the wharf. Highly recommend the caprese salad with grilled chicken & the Caesar salad served in the crispy basket was delightfully different.
Good location as a tourist, food was simple Italian food . Female wait staff , friendly & helpful. Salmon fillet with rosemary potatoes was tasty however bit too much sauce.
great location! impeccable service provided by Mark and most importantly the food and coffee was amazing
Our lunchtime visit was very busy with Antarctic Festival nearby but table service was efficient and friendly dispite lots going on. Food was hot, tasty and ample. Overall a lovely lunch.
great place to relax and get ready for the day
Great service - friendly and professional. Amazing choice of food - we were there for brekkie and it was great! Will be returning to try out dinner menu.
Great service, good quality food and well sized portions. Have enjoyed several visits to this well positioned restaurant. Warm and cosy but not overheated on a cold winters day in Hobart.
Service was excellent, food was delicious, plenty to choose from, and the atmosphere was great. They kept our table for us, despite being 15 minutes late.
Friendly service, good Italian style food and the gentle ambience of people enjoying the conviviality of the table with friends and family. It is a restaurant with character. The wine list is small but well chosen.
Food was great,service was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. We attended for mother’s day and nice touch was the 20 dollar gift voucher and a bag of chocolates for the mums.
We had a great breakfast, even though every table was full the food came out really quickly and was very tasty. The wait staff were all very friendly.
Service was fantastic, good food. We waited a very long time - half an hour? - for it though and the order was a pie and salad. Aside from this it was a fantastic visit. We will come again!
This place is great for breakfast! The waiter upstairs is always super friendly and helpful and the location is nice. Thumbs up for having lactose free milk available and I like the option for lots of sides to have with my breakfast eggs! Would love to see some vegan options on the menu though - then perhaps I would visit for dinner 😀
Wonderfully placed on the Hobart waterfront this cafe offers lovely views from the couple of window tables. Starting with a sparkling from a cute little bottle I followed with the signature scallop pie. This was a disappointment. I found it quite dry and anemic though it tasted good. More colour to the pastry and more sauce in the filling was needed. The pie was served with a salad. The side of chips was a good decision, they were excellent. Finished with a good coffee.
A busy cafe, with a great buzz occupying an excellent location near the waterfront and close to Salamander market. We loved the great menu, scrummy food and outstanding service. The staff are very nice people! You should go there.
Delicious food and great service. Staff attentive and friendly. Everytime we visit Hobart, we always make sure we have a meal at Harbour Lights Cafe.
Food was fresh and delicious. Very friendly wait staff. Had dinner there one night and went back for breakfast the next day. Would highly recommend!
Great spot and excellent food/service. Staff generally attentive and responded well. Highly recommend BYO, at $6 per bottle. The restaurant wine list in my opinion is pathetic, three Tasmanian reds by the glass at $11/glass or near $50/bottle. The total red list is four wines, The only Italian red is bottle only.
Excellent food in a fantastic setting. Highly recommend for a tasty snack or a healthy meal. Very reasonably priced with a fantastic outlook over Hobart's fabulous waterfront!
Wasn't happy with Caesar salad, lettuce was old, had brown marks on it was not fresh. Had to tell staff our order three times. Other meals were ok
Booking was there and the breakfast was lovely, a bit stuffy upstairs and the spiral staircase was a concern, but overall it was lovely. Views from upstairs windows good!
