    We didn’t know they were closing the next day for renovations so it seemed like the food was not as fresh and more bag like, super subpar. The server we had was not good, it took about 10 mins before they came over to take our drink and food order. When we did get our food the server did a quick walk by 10 mins after we got our food asking how it was and we didn’t see her again until we asked for the check. The server was more concerned about her other 3 tables that came in after us because those tables got her full attention and had multiple drinks when we didn’t even get asked if we wanted another one, the male server assistants were the one who refilled our water and bagged up our leftovers. This was our first time and last time we’ll be going to this place again. Not worth the money or the time. I can get better fish at a church fish fry.

    It was a while since I had dinner here and I decided to come back here with family. It is always the same, positive experience we had in the past. Very friendly hostess, great service, and delicious food. It’s always a pleasure to have dinner at a very welcoming restaurant as Don’s Lighthouse. Thank you! Highly recommended!

    Surprised how empty the place was. Definitely old school. Could use an update. Service was fine. Food was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but decent.
