The staff were attentive and helpful and the service generally was excellent. The food was fresh, tasty, well presented and reasonable priced. This is my 3rd visit to Harbour Lights Cafe and, so far, the experience was consistently excellent and I will continue to go back.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Our food order was taken quite quickly and drinks arrived promptly. We had to wait awhile for our food to arrive but it was cooked to order so no complaints. The food was very good. The restaurant was very busy which is a good sign.

Service was excellent. Professional; attentive and discreet. The food was beautiful ; however just a touch too indulgent with the Oil. Although this (the oil) is a very personal consideration. Otherwise a Great Experience of Dining. Miguel Alejandro/ Spain

Friendly staff, lovely food. Great views when you get a table near the window, may be hard to get up spiral stairs if you have mobility issues, otherwise it is much less crowded upstairs.

The food was fantastic, perfect amount of time between entree and mains too. The service was excellent, the waiter was looking after a lot of tables by himself and managed it with ease!

Brilliant place. Staff were under extreme pressure with numbers and all maintained their composure and friendly nature. Food as always was simply great. Booking for six and accommodating and elderly ladies upstairs was beyond normal service.

I went to Harbour Lights Cafe for dinner. The menu was fantastic and choosing what to have was the toughest part - I settled on one of the specials: a prawn linguini, and I wasn't disappointed. Harbour Lights Cafe is a great spot: excellent service, central location, and delicious food.

A very good menu and prompt service from the staff but the food was plain and lacked flare. You could cook the same at home.
