    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.

    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.

    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

    What an incredible dining experience we had here! The bar manager has curated a list of amazing craft cocktails and the wine list is extensive. We had a hard time picking dinner from the menu since there were so many fantastic options. The service is impeccable and the views are outstanding. We can’t wait to come back.
