It's a nice restaurant in a great location with a fun vibe. Our server was very friendly and made sure we had enough water.It took around 30 min to get our food, and we ordered right away. Granted it was Friday night, but we felt like other people were getting their food sooner.The stuffed sole my mom got was delicious! The steamed veggies and mashed potatoes were also very tasty. The garlic bread and sea bass I got was just okay. They could have used better quality bread and the fish could've tasted better.Overall it was a good experience and would eat there again.

The olive oil and herb halibut smelled fishy with little flavor. Steamed vegetables were still raw for the most part. I will not eat here again. The only thing good about my dinner was the beer. Paid way too much for the plate I got.

My Chiopino was delicious!The shellfish and scallops tasted very fresh.The broth was very hearty and full of flavor.My only complaint was the fish/tuna was dry and it's seems like it was in the base of the soup too long for the stock.Oysters was very good. I don't recall the origin.Clamp chowder was watery according to my kids.Mac and cheese was very bland and oily.Stars is based off the Chiopino. 8 out of 10

It was just ok. We thought there was going to be a Variety of Oysters. Nope. Rockefellers were full of water in stead of Parmesan I never had Spinach put off that much water. 10$ for a beer. Caesar salad was ok. Poke tower was good. Service was ok Might go back some day for the oyster shooters. They were good.

Delicious food, great service, amazing view. The location is wonderful and the ownership is fantastic. The great thing about this restaurant is that it's very versatile- it's not only family friendly but great for a date night as well.

The cioppino was excellent. Actually, everyone enjoyed their meals. I eat out often and I have to say that this is probably the best service I’ve had in a long time. Even the manager comes over to make sure everything is perfect and assists in making it a good experience. I wish I would’ve gotten her name because she showed great leadership.Wheelchair accessibility: has an elevator

Beautiful view, but I was disappointed with the Caesar Salad, nothing very special. The Poke stack was nicely presented and tasted good, but for the price, I was not impressed. The best thing is the gorgeous view. Our server was very nice too.

I have been going to Lighthouse for 10 years.There is a great group of people working there. It's refreshing to see the same faces year after year. The food is fabulous, a gorgeous view of the harbor, and a great happy hour too!What more do you need?
