Parkers' Lighthouse

Any great dining experience is a reflection of the staff and then the food. If you’re coming here for dinner, ask for Job. He was professional, pleasant, friendly, and intimately familiar with the menu.

We started with the clam chowder, lobster and shrimp taquitos and warm crab dip. The chowder was packed full of clams and absolutely fabulous. Similarly, the lobster and shrimp taquitos are an absolute must have. They were simply out of this world.

For my main course, I had the Seared Hokkaido Sea Scallops, again exceeding all expectations and falling into the excellent category. I paired my scallops with the 2023 Kettmeir Pinot Grigio based on Job’s recommendations, which was an excellent choice. My wife elected to have the lavender paradise zero proof cocktail, which she found refreshing.

We wrapped up the meal with the warm butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream and complimented with berries. What could be bad it was a winner.

I would highly recommend if you’re in town and have the time to come here for dinner. All of the staff was fantastic but our waiter Job definitely was a stand out. The food was exceptional, and I don’t think that you will be disappointed. Lastly, we had a table overlooking the Queen Mary, but the restaurant affords panoramic views that include the city. These views would be difficult to match at other restaurant in Long Beach.

The food here is not good. I had the seafood linguine. It was a dreadful mess. It was served in a bowl with the pasta and seafood swimming in an unpleasant green liquid. It was like a soup. The scallops, shrimp and clams were absolutely tasteless and the pasta was mushy. A really bad dish! My companion had the Chilean seabass and left most of it uneaten. We left very unhappy. I can't understand how this place has the relatively high rating it has.

Got here and they close for 2 hours. Update your Google times.

This place exceeded my expectations. It could easily be mistaken for a tourist trap, but it wasn’t at all. The staff were kind and attentive. I’ve experienced a few restaurants in LA where the maître d’ gives patrons of my skin color awkwardly placed tables, but this place was very different. I was shown to one of the best tables in the restaurant. The food was excellent, and the view was beautiful. Thank you.

Stopped in for lunch on a beautiful day, and loved the views. The food and service were great also. We had East Coast Oysters, and New England Clam Chowder, which actually did taste like Clam Chowder in New England. :) Great lunch and great view - can't ask for anything better.

Had a great dinner here. Just tried this location from the reviews and the chance for seafood. Was pleasantly surprised and happy from this choice. I had the seafood pasta it was flavored well, the pesto was amazing on it. And trying the bourbon braised short rib was utterly delicious, the meat was cooked so fine the meat fell apart when picking at it. The drinks and vibe were perfect for the setting and the views of the ocean harbor front was pleasant. Would go again

Parker’s Lighthouse delivered an exceptional experience. The waterfront views are stunning, but the food truly steals the show—especially the sushi, which was incredibly fresh and one of the highlights of our meal. Every dish was prepared beautifully, and the service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, making it perfect for a special night out. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning!

The best view, I enjoyed with my family a dinner last week. For sure I’ll go there again

Went for Thanksgiving Buffet. The food was good. Our waiter was on point. I feel that the buffet is overpriced. 94.00 is a little on the steep side and you have to pay for parking. Other than feeling it is overpriced it was a good meal.

The food was good and the buffet was plentiful however not being able to take something home is a let down. Because my plates are small, I didn't get my moneys worth.

Good food and service on thanksgiving. Turkey was a little dry but their pork was very good
