    Quality of food seems to have gone downhill while Price rises. Some food came out cold and had to be sent back. Service was great though! Not sure if we’ll return

    Our date night was great! We were sat right on time for our reservation. The timing between the app, salad, and then entree was perfect. Our server was attentive and very friendly. And the food tasted amazing. 10/10.

    Fantastic as always! We brought my parents from out of town to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Usually we sit at the bar but this time sat at a beautiful table w/a view of the lake. The food was delicious as were the cocktails. The experience was made even better because of our server, Tiffany! She was so nice, knowledgeable, & attentive! Lighthouse will always be my absolute favorite. Thank you!!
