    Warning CASH only… but you can use your card for take out 🤔… there’s an ATM out front but no privacy to use it. Just looked sketchy… maybe it was a bad day 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Wow! We had an amazing time celebrating my son’s birthday at the Lighthouse this evening. The dining experience was fantastic—the music was outstanding, the food was delicious and plentiful, and our adult beverages were top-notch. The birthday serenade, complete with confetti, bubbles, and song, made the night truly unforgettable. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We’ll definitely be back! Hopefully, the n ext time, the croaker will be available to sample……

    The food was delicious, but the lounge/seated service was a 1 star experience. Everyone was nice, but they took forever to come to the table. They never refilled our water and didn’t come back to check on us ever. Then, they added a 20% automatic gratuity for a table of 2? I don’t mind automatic gratuity when the service is worth that much, and it surely is not.

    Place was nice, good for birthdays. Food is great no matter what you get. Place gets loud though. Wait time is kinda long but you stop paying attention after a while. For groups I would say evb bring at least 60$

    Took my girlfriend over for a surprise dinner and it was exceptional. The food is amazing , I highly recommend you try their seafood platter. The ambience / esthetics was beautiful. Young lady called Ruby served us and she was very attentive and made sure we had a good time. 10/10
