Housed in a century-old New England-style stone building overlooking the Connecticut waterfront, Harbor Lights is a rare welcome port of call for year-round dining. The floor to ceiling windows provide a panoramic view of Norwalk harbor, complemented by the cruise ship setting, decked out with polished hardwood floors and ceiling and soft lighting. Appetizers include grilled calamari filled with lobster meat in curry sauce and sinewy Riviera crab cakes with frisée in a rémoulade sauce. Although the fish and seafood, such as the aromatic cioppino, are the draw here, the osso buco on a bed of spinach and saffron risotto is a worthy non-seafood option. Among the broad selection of wines on hand, the Frog's Leap Sauvignon Blanc is ideal for the seafood starters while Simi Cabernet Sauvignon works well with the lamb. Desserts include a creative banana spring roll and sorbets in a range of flavors, from passion fruit, mango and blackberry Cabernet to lemon.
