    Had a lovely meal here today! Food was very tasty and service was unpretentious and efficient! We were greeted with a warm welcoming smile from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to go back - sitting by the windows had a lovely view of the boats in the harbor. Highly recommend!

    Our reservation was actually later and we arrived early. They were able to switch some tables around where they could get us in earlier. The seating at the window was so nice watching the sunset which made a good start to a romantic evening. The staff was really nice and quick with severing our meal. The meal was absolutely wonderful prime rib with brussel sprouts was so yummy.

    Service was beyond slow we seated for over a half an hour before a food order was taken. I ordered a seafood risotto. The risotto had absolutely zero flavor. It tasted like rice mush. The clam chowder was delicious though. The only highlight was, they did not have our reservation when we walked in, but they still found us a table rather quickly.

    Hi Chase, We're so sorry to hear that this was your experience. We hear your feedback and will consider it while moving forward with ways we can improve. I hope we see you again in the future so that you can experience the best we have to offer. I am glad you enjoyed your clam chowder though! Sincerely, Erin A.

    We have been going to the Lighthouse Grill for many many years. It's not consistent, but last night was one of the those nights where they outdid themselves. The wine and steak was excellent but not too sure about the Caesar salad being the best we've ever had. I think it lacked some good croutons. They served a baguette that was warm and fresh and they had this wonderful butter with it. So many things to love about this place including the fast that it's quiet unless you are unlucky to be there on a night with a lot of drunky McDrunk faces next to your table which has happened on occasion. I would give it a high rating based on our recent experience. We always give them chances.
    Lighthouse Bar & GrillResponded on February 17, 2025
    Thank you so much for your feedback, Alton. We're always trying to improve our dishes, service, and experiences, and we're so glad to hear that it's paid off for your last visit. We look forward to seeing you again! Until next time, Erin A.

    What an awful experience dining at that place Server Maureen was super rude and at some point I thought she was yelling at us. Half the menu wasn’t available. Music, although stated, was live on Saturday, wasn’t available. Spend your money with more bang somewhere else P. S I can imagine the view is somewhat nice on sunny summer nights
