Harbour Lights in West Lindsey

Had a great day/night celebrating the wedding of good friends.

I have just been in with my family for my birthday, Jo could not have done more. She was absolutely amazing and made the experience incredibly special for everyone. Harbour lights always has been and will remain my favourite restaurant. Beautiful food, establishment, view, drinks and service. Thank you so much to glen and Annie. I will be back soon...x

Enjoyable Sunday dinner. Nice roast beef and good portion. Yorkshire and beef stand out quality, veg could have been warmer. A little pricey especially the drinks.

Perfect location! The food was amazing. Really felt looked after by staff. Mushroom and Stilton starter was to die for. Thank you!

Harbour Lights, Burton Waters: Stunning Views, Delicious Food, Overworked Staff Harbour Lights certainly offers a beautiful setting. The restaurant's location overlooking the marina is simply breathtaking, especially at sunset. It's the perfect spot for a special occasion. The food was excellent, and the service was generally good. However, it was clear that the staff were under pressure. They seemed overwhelmed, which detracted slightly from the overall experience. It's a shame as it's obvious they're trying their best. Despite this, the stunning views and delicious food make Harbour Lights a worthwhile visit. It's just a pity the staff appeared so stretched. Would I return? Absolutely, but hopefully with better staffing levels.

Great weekend venue, friendly staff in a lovely setting. ⭐

Staff were great and couldn't be more helpful. Lovely to sit in one of the outer booths looking over the water.

Amazing food, such a beautiful setting and decor, excellent customer service

Was a lovely meal waitress was a little slow, but the manager was amazing

Very slow service, 2 people had bad stomache ache from fish pie, burnt tart inedible, custard was like water, beef dish contained 1 potatoe and one carrot no where near big enough portion, brownie was good, wouldn't go again spoiled daughters birthday celebration.

Amazing chicken wings chicken wings hot dog and Bologna chicken with my home with chicken wings chicken wings everybody come and sing chicken chicken wing and nuggets

Great place, nice food. Loved it

Small portion sizes my husband left still hungry. Service ok, but not exactly friendly. Expensive. Wouldn't go again.

Wonderful place. So looking forward to coming back here again!

Really nice venue, food and staff, I thought it would be good but it turned out to be excellent.

Sunday roast would have been spot on if it had been hot

Second time here and first time lovely food second time the food wasn't on par I had a special of the board cod was dry and my friends Salmon encroute was not the best put us off going again as we paid 160 for 4 of us but left disappointed.

Me and my boyfriend chose this place for our Valentines meal. This restaurant was outstanding, it’s in a gorgeous place and the food was amazing. It’s the best experience I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time! The waiters did seriously seem understaffed and I feel bad for them but when I got told one of them was the owner I was so surprised, she was absolutely lovely bless her, clearly doing everything! It started to get a bit busy towards 8pm and some of the prices don’t match up from the website, but they were a few pounds cheaper in the end. Will definitely be coming here again! I loved it!

Just popped in to check the location of the place prior to a planned visit.

We visit here quite often and have left many good reviews on tripadvisor over the years. But the last 3 visits the food hasn't been up to the usual standard. the meat has been tough the last 3 times, but the rest of the food has been good. We like to come here as it's easily accessible with free parking. Staff are always friendly and helpful. But the food needs to have better consistency to make us continue to return. When people are more cautious about spending money these days you want the experience to be 100% rather than a regretful event .

I have been several times. This time, the service was not great. The time before it was slow. This time, it was like a stand still. One waitress did her best to keep the staff focused. She wore a black shirt. There was a young lad who served well with an upbeat attitude, apologies, and a good smile. I would go again. However, if it was as slow as this time, it would be my last time.

Very poor customer service, I've visited that place yesterday with 2 friends (2 non UK and one British person) we asked for a large table as was planning to stay for a meal, table was there but we've been told to take tiny one next to bar, funnily enough next 3 persons which turn up same time get that large table straight away without any reservation etc. Staff played dummy saying they don't know is that table was available or not?? It's a decent place but if you not local than you may expect totally different treatment than locals.

Great place 👌 would recommend this beautiful location food as amazing....service excellent

Sunday dinner for 7 all said it was great. We all had the topside beef and lots of vegetables. The blood orange sorbet looked amazing. Only two hundred + all had a three course, others had more than one drink. Price wise and being at Burton Waters felt rich and making out that's was my boat parking up. Harbour Lights are not rated high enough on the app.

My wife and I nipped in for a quick meal before a show so it was early. Apparently the vegetarian pie was very nice but my coq au vin was very poor. Having ordered this elsewhere, and made it myself on numerous occasions, I've never had one like this. There was little flavour to the sauce, which should be quite robust (it should have red wine and brandy in it), and the chicken itself tasted stale. The staff were very pleasant though, the place is comfortable, and I imagine a window seat in daylight would be nice. We'll give it another try sometime as I always hope it's a one off when I've had a bad experience.

Good service and the food was tasty. Good location over the water within toe marina.

Great evening celebrating 🥳 New year's Eve. Band excellent. Food delicious and the staff friendly and efficient. Hope to return soon.

Absolutely lovely place to celebrate some good events. We had a Christmas party. That was great! I expected a bit more from the food (we should choose from Xmas menu) but in general our evening was stunning. Bar man did some nice cocktails which wasn’t on the menu. And of course we did a lot of amazing pictures there 😉

Thank you for making my Aunties and Fathers joint Birthday celebrations 🍾 so special! You were all so attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! Everyone said how much they enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you again x

Last night was our first visit to Harbour Lights. Me and my partner throughly enjoyed our experience and the food was amazing. Highly recommend and will be back in the future.

Fantastic service. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. The food was lovely with generous sized portions. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely venue and fabulous food.

Just wanted to write a review regarding the understanding and helpfulness of Jo and her team at the Harbour lights Lincoln. Somehow I managed to book the Harbour lights Lincoln for our work Christmas party instead of my local restaurant of the same name, I was only 280 miles out (gulp). As soon as I realised my mistake I contacted the restaurant explaining my error. Jo promptly got in touch with me and was very understanding, appreciating that I had made a genuine mistake. The restaurant have kindly refunded the money I paid and have emailed me reassuring me that the booking was cancelled. Thank you to Jo and the management team for your understanding. If we are ever in Lincoln we will definitely book as your menu looked delicious. Definitely a business with honesty and integrity. Michelle

Great place and very good food excellent service

Food was excellent and done to perfection and the staff were very attentive and on it. Cocktails were spot on and very nice. Would highly recommend this place to eat, views were amazing of the marina.

Booked a table for 16 for a Birthday & Family celebration, everything about the evening was so well organized , the food service and staff were first class , would highly recommend.

We went for my 70th birthday celebration. Everyone had a lovely meal. The staff were very attentive and the service first class. It really was made a special occasion by the extra touches and we have now booked for New Year’s Eve!

Always a pleasure when I come here, staff are friendly, polite and helpful. Food is great and so is the atmosphere

We booked the harbour lights for my parents Ruby wedding anniversary a party of 23. From start to finish the service was excellent very tentative and made everyone feel nothing was too much, the food was exceptional and with such a large menu all brought out together. Every single person in our party commented on the venue and how well we were looked after the complimentary glasses of bubbly and hand written boards for my parents were an extra special touch. Would absolutely recommend for any occasion weather it be for a couple or a family get together

It was OK, I think the setting is what draws the crowds in. The sunday lunch was OK, I've certainly had better. The beef was quite tough and a very small portion. The Yorkshire pudding was large and crispy. We had to ask for extra gravy, as the amount on the plate was minimal. The view out of the window is really pleasant, looking out across the water.

We had a lovely evening for our first dinner at harbour lights. The staff were really friendly. I had a really tasty burger and a nice bottle of wine to share. Recommended.

Booked a table overlooking the water, we were running late (traffic) the staff were excellent and kept our table after a quick phone call. Great looking venue in the marina, we had the soup to start (tom and roasted peppers) which was one of the best soups we'd both had, the salmon en croute was spot on and the service was great. Great selection of drinks and had some good banter with our waitress when ordering a Prosecco Rosé, would highly recommend here

We came here on a Saturday teatime without booking and the waitress got us in even though they where busy, all the staff are really nice and friendly. The food is amazing, even though the restaurant was busy we wasn’t waiting long at all. The restaurant is very clean, we had lovely food served by lovely staff, thanks again for fitting us in without booking, we will defiantly be back.

Brilliant evening. Loved it all.

We booked fora family Sunday roast for 2.30pm and we waited 45mins for two soups which when they arrived they were lukewarm then 1hr 45 mins later we had to ask when we would get our main courses! I couldn’t eat my roast potato’s as they were hard and not cooked enough. Really disappointed with the service

Wow this restaurant gets busy. We arrived at a relatively quiet time and remarked to the lady about how quiet it was. She did say it seems that way, but we won't have a table shortly.. and yep the restaurant filled up quickly. What do I say about this place as my first review? The restaurant is fab and we didn't know it existed until being recommended it. Let's get onto the drinks and our meal. They have a huge variety of drinks available and all at a decent price. The menu is also priced extremely well considering the look of the restaurant. My chilli beef starter was outstanding, and cod in a Thai sauce was out of this world paired with a few madre👍. Fantastic night and we will definitely be returning customers. Can't fault anything at all. Want too👀 but just can't.

We had been recommended this place by our son and although busy a table for 4 was found without fuss . Think if we had booked prior we may have been able to reserve a table overlooking the water which would have been the icing on the cake . Server was friendly and efficient and we soon were tucking into decent fish and chips and burger and chips . Very reasonable prices ( approx 18 with a drink ) considering the upmarket location, and the interior is impressive . We will call again and imagine it’s bliss to sit outside on a warm sunny afternoon.

Firstly I’ll start with the positives, The waiting staff were very friendly and welcoming and were a credit to the restaurant. The food however was extremely disappointing. I had the Moroccan Spicy nut loaf which was neither Moroccan nor spicy in fact it resembled paxo stuffing with a few nuts thrown in. It was really a tasteless mush! My wife had the roast beef. When she was cutting it she mentioned that the knife was not very sharp but when she tried to chew it she realised it was not the knife but the beef that was tough, rubbery and inedible. The bowl of steamed veg was nice though. All in all, a very disappointing meal and certainly not worth the money. We will not be returning.

Staff very welcoming and friendly. Orders taken quickly. Food arrived in very good time. The Sunday dinner was extremely good value. The beef was amazing with extra gravy brought on request. Drinks are also good value. Can’t fault service or food.

We went out for a lovely meal four of us evening meal. All the food was delicious mine was a little lack lustre. It was tasty but needed more sauce with it and fries in the side. I was still hungry. We did have a dessert which was delicious. Warm brownie cake with raspberry puree and ice cream . The other meals were half rack of ribs fries sweetcorn. Chicken and chorizo pie chips veggies and then beef burger in a bun fries lots of sides my dish was chicken in sauce with parmesan mash . Very good atmosphere and service. Will definitely return thankyou.

It's in a brilliant location the food was nice and the staff was polite. They was just a little slow on serving are food order but apart from that very enjoyable.

First time visiting this restaurant and Burton Waters even though we have driven past for many years. Glad we did. Burton Waters is a stunning place. After a drink elsewhere and having a wander round, we looked at their menu outside. What a fantastic welcoming restaurant. A table was made ready in a matter of minutes for us, and our children made to feel very welcome by the supervisor whilst our table was being set up. We chose fish and chips, pie of the day, children's goujons and children's fish and chips. Drinks were served efficiently and quickly, firstly by a water jug that we had requested to quench our thirst. Our meals were fantastic. It's kinda gastro pub food at a decent price for the look of this place.This was our first time, but definitely won't be our last. Can't believe we've never tried Burton Waters before after living in Lincoln so long.

My husband and I attended a fantastic friends wedding, Mr and Mrs Rooms (Steve and Amanda) and it was so romantic and perfect. I can only speak for ourselves but from the setting to the staff, service and overall experience, the venue is a great place. Thankyou x

Perfect place for dinner!!! Great service!!! Recommend to all my friends!!! Definitely, I will come back soon.

Out for a celebration lunch. This place was perfect. Jo was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, advising on food and drinks. Service was 💯. The food was hot and the scotch egg was the best I've ever eaten We will definitely be returning and look forward...

Where to begin.. On arrival, the restaurant wasn’t very busy, though it took a while to be served. Drinks took forever to arrive, starters took even longer. We asked for the kids meals to arrive with the starters but they were wrong when they finally came to the table, and one had to be remade. We’d been waiting an hour at this point. The kids pasta was not suitable for a child, tasted awful - barely any sauce, but lots of parsley and served in a huge boiling hot bowl, which was odd given it was for a child. We waited and waited for the starter plates to be cleared, which took another 30 mins. When one of our party asked if the mains were on their way, the supervisor snapped at him and said the starters had only just been cleared, and therefore it had only just started being cooked. He explained the plates had been sat there for quite a long time but she was not listening. She later saw the error of her ways and came back to offer us a free round of drinks as a way of an apology. We waited and waited for the main course….and waited some more. When it finally arrived, we sent the risotto back as it was watery and tasted horrible, the supervisor actually went into the kitchen and made a replacement salad herself! Are the chefs that bad? The vegetarian meal was beyond poor, the 6 small pieces of jackfruit were out of a tin with cheap sauce poured on top, served in a ciabatta type bread (says bread bun on the menu), I only ate the chips and left everything else. The coleslaw, onion rings and the peppercorn sauce for 5 of the meals were all missing and we had to ask where they were, which caused a lot of confusion for the waiter for some reason, and we had to explain several times to him what was missing. The potatoes and veg that came with the chicken supreme were terrible. The potatoes had clearly been microwaved as they were beyond scorching hot and really watery. We’d been there over 2 hours by this point and the kids and everyone else had had enough. We complained to the supervisor, who explained that the restaurant was being run by trainees and agency chefs as the usual chef hadn’t turned up - which is no excuse for an awful meal. She was very flustered and I did feel sorry for her as she was visibly upset. However, at this point, maybe the manager type man hiding at the bar should have come over and sorted out the situation as he saw how under pressure she was!! She was clearly running the entire place by herself. We did receive discounted meals and free drinks, but to be honest I’d much rather have paid full price and had an enjoyable meal. So so disappointed as we’ve been here before and it’s been good. This was a family get together with family visiting from abroad, so it’s such a shame that Harbour Lights got it so so wrong. We had pre-booked, so it’s not as if they weren’t expecting us!

Harbour Lights hosted my cousin's wedding reception and all I can say is WOW! The day was magical and in no small way attributed to this wonderful venue. Beautiful setting, fabulous decor, excellent customer service and delicious food.... there was nothing wanting here and I would recommend Harbour Lights to anyone looking for somewhere special to host an event. Fantastic!!

Lovely lunch outing with a friend! Great food and service, yummy non alcoholic cocktail made by Amy behind the bar, and nice relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit!

Great food and great venue! Lovely staff couldn't recommend a better place to go. Will be coming back very soon

Popped in for lunch. Fab service and recommend the light bite menu for a quick lunch. All was very good. We are driving later so just had an elderflower press and coke however there is a massive selection of drinks on a glass bar.

Ladies serving were friendly and very efficient. We had a prawn cocktail and chicken terrine followed by pie and risotto. Service was super friendly and the meals were great. We shared a mega nut sundae, again which was extremely tasty and not shy of nuts....

Great location to dine wether it’s day or night. An overall great experience. Definitely recommend visiting Harbour Lights.

Despite living around Lincoln for years, I had never visited HL. It’s situated on a community complex where people are known to walk around with their nose in the air so it never appealed. That attitude was my loss, and I will be visiting again....

Absolutely delicious food. The service wasn't the best so many young staff just wandering around. Seemed to be the supervisor and the 2 boys doing all the work. For the amount of staff service was slow

Always good service and lovely food

Visited here last Sunday and as always the staff really did look after us. Only popped in for a coffee on a first date and ended up staying for something to eat. Despite being incredibly busy the amazing team there did all they could to accommodate us. We had the Haddock with all the trimmings and it was absolutely bang on. Piping hot and just delicious. Lovely atmosphere but it's really the staff that make your visit. They are a credit to the place.

We had our wedding reception in Harbour Light, it was so lovely! The manager Marie was very supportive and helpful, staff are so friendly -- we loved every single minutes, our guests enjoyed so much. Food was great as always, beautiful view, we are so...

Service rather slow. Had to call waitress to take our food order. One waiter, who showed us to our table, seemed uninterested and not friendly at all. Drinks quite expensive. Food pretty good, no complaints.

What great service. They did everything right, I couldn't have asked for anything better. They put my 2 yr old order in first and made sure she was eating first. The food was spot on thanks to the head chef for a great meal and...
