Tom Ham's Lighthouse

Due to loud music from the wedding below, I marked ambiance down by one star. Otherwise, outdoor seating was great with beautiful views. Service was ok. The food was excellent. Ample parking is a plus as well.

MENU PRICES ARE NOT WHAT YOU WILL PAY! Restaurant adds a 5% fee to everything to cover "rising costs", instead of just adjusting their menu prices. Unless you read the fine print at the bottom of the menu, you get the surprise when you get the check. Just a sleazy way to add 5% profit for the owner! The manager's response when we complained about it was: "It's Legal". Nice restaurant, apparently run by Gypsies.

Sunday brunch was really good. Service was great for it being a buffet. The crab legs were well worth it

very surprised to see a CA restaurant charged to our dinner bill. while it was disclosed in the final bill it was never disclosed on the menu. Not happy

Had a great time with girlfriends too celebrate my birthday! Nice day out on the patio with a light breeze. Food was very good: shrimp ceviche, burger, cioppini, and shrimp salad! And don't forget the brownie and ice cream for dessert!

Good experience all around. However, having to pay an additional for a glass of milk and another fee to offset the “rising cost of products,” was disappointing.

Disappointing Holiday Visit After Years of Great Experiences I've had truly great experiences at Tom Ham's Lighthouse in the past, so I was excited to bring my family here for a special holiday dinner. Unfortunately, this visit fell flat. From the start, it felt like we were an inconvenience to our server. We were seated right next to the server station, even though there were clearly better tables available — which put a damper on the atmosphere. The food was just okay this time, not nearly as memorable or flavorful as I've experienced before. They also tacked on a 5% surcharge with no real explanation. When I asked about it, the server simply said, “I wish I had a better answer,” which didn't help clarify anything. For an already underwhelming meal, the extra charge felt unjustified. After being a long-time fan of this place, it's disappointing to say the quality has noticeably declined. Sadly, I don't think I'll be returning.

This is our second time a Tom Ham's Lighthouse. Easy to get to. Stand-alone large restaurant with plenty & easy parking. Tremendous views. Creative and delicious dishes. Fresh seafood. Not overly expensive, around $50/ person not including cocktails. Will absolutely return again.

View from our outdoor table was beautiful. The weather was a little chilly but the heaters kept us warm. Great yet affordable food and amazing service.

Great location, our server was nice. Disappointed with the dish I ordered. I had ordered the Linguine (substituting the clams for shrimp). The linguine was soaking in a really thick Alfredo sauce, which was meh. The tomatoes it came with were cold, like they just grabbed the sliced grape tomatoes they use for salads and threw them on top. The shrimp were also cold, the same type shrimp they used for the shrimp cocktail. I didn't complain to the server because it wasn't her fault. For the price of the dish I was extremely disappointed. Will not be returning.

We celebrated our anniversary in the most beautiful seat in the restaurant. Desiree was very informative and attentive to our requests. The salmon was cooked to perfection as was the filet. The beautiful scenery in the harbor added to our memorable evening. Definitely recommend this historical restaurant!

We have enjoyed this place for lunch a couple of times in the past 6 months but have not tried it for dinner in many years. The fish of the day, yellowtail, was overcooked and dry. I did not complain about the fish but left a fair amount. The brussels sprouts dish was very tasty, but attracted dozens of tiny gnat like flies (we were inside). Couldn't eat them. Server was gracious and took them off the bill and comped a dessert. Will eventually go back for a salad or burger at lunch because we love the location, but will pass on dinner.

Excellent ambiance, impressive views, delicious food, and outstanding service and friendliness from the staff.

Great Sunday brunch. Stations always had heaping piles of food and very fresh. The service staff was most helpful and always refilled the juice glass. It was a great Sunday brunch and will return!

Excellent food, view, Ambiance, service and our favorite perso. Jennifer. Thank you so much for making our Anniversary even more special.
