Lighthouse Restaurant Reviews
My family and friends meet there after graveside service nearby. The reserved room was spacious and accommodated us all. The service excellent as was the food. I had the fish sandwich with onion rings. I intend to return whenever I am next in Florida.
Lighthouse restaurant is the best restaurant in our area. Seafood is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Very friendly staff.
