“Had lunch for the very first time at Rob’s Lighthouse Eatery yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed my Caesar wrap that Rob prepared exactly to my specs. I could not believe that I was able to purchase two wraps for $24? What an incredible value, not to mention the true blue service by Rob and Heidi. I will be back with all my friends!”

“My wife and I love the Cow Bay view from booths, and overall restaurant ambiance, but it is the food that brings us back. Seafood Linguini, and the Katsu Bowl are favourites. In fact, we’ve just done take out orders of 2 Katsu Bowls, 2nd time in a week. This is a most excellent taste sensation, a combination of Thai (peanut & coconut) Japanese (Katsu crispy chicken) and creamy chow mein noodles with veggies. Try It! Yummy!”

“Had the luck of accidently finding this restaurant. What a find! we were just going in to have appies and cocktails but stayed for 2 hours having a full meal. All was great! We cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu. The service was quite good and food came out quicker than we expected as it was Friday and reasonably busy”

“Popped in tonight to grab a bite to eat (Solo) before I had to scoot to my shop for the last ladies night. I tried the Lamb Jalfrezi!! What a delight! Lamb was cooked to perfection, and super tender, the veggies (peppers) still had some crunch, beautifully blended spices, basmati also cooked perfectly... I would have LICKED my bowl...however, had some soft buttery Naan to wipe the bowl clean!! My waitress (I'm sorry, I didn't ask you name... you know who you are!!). Lovely, young lady, took the time to chat a bit... it was just what I needed!! Thank you!”

The whole experience is thoughtful, from ingredients to presentation. Quiet, humble, and unforgettable. Don’t miss it.”

Always new flavours, and always delicious; including some I've never had before like pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and apple pie. Caramel crunch is a family favourite. We usually buy a scoop and then walk down to the trail at government wharf.

The owner and staff are always very friendly.”
