Always a solid selection of hearty seafood with a broad menu to suit almost any range or mood of appetite.

Staff is always professional, prompt, and good for a quick laugh.

Haddock bites are not to be missed.

For such expensive food it was all okay. Our server rarely came around. Spent over $100 on two people for service and food that could be had for cheaper elsewhere.

It was our first time here. Perfect spot for date night. My fillet mignon was delicious, service excellent. Can't wait to try the fried oysters next time.

Good food, wonderful view, and service from Logan was also great. We had the filet mignon and the salmon - both were tasty! 5 Stars , we even bought a couple shirts.

I hardly ever make food reviews because I understand that everyone has a bad day now and again, but this was such a poor experience that hopefully I save someone some money. Most adults at the table ordered the fried shrimp with sides. All of our shrimp came out rubbery and overcooked. We sent it back and we’re given fresh orders, but the cook was still inconsistent. Larger shrimps were good, but the smaller ones were rubbery and flavor was pretty bland. For $177, I expected much better. What’s most disappointing? Is that a manager? Didn’t even come to see if we were happy with their solution. If five out of six plates were sent back, someone should’ve come to check on us to make sure that we were all happy. We won’t be back.

Unfortunately I didn't have a good customer service experience. I went for lunch paid around $127 and had I send my food back because it was cold. what started off as a good experience started dwindling away from the server when I asked if my food could be served hot.it seemed to bother the server.
Also being from Atlanta and frequenting 5star dining I have never eaten where you could return a dish if it wasn't to your liking, her, you are STUCK with whatever you order... Thankfully the Owner/manager made a 1 time exception. At this point I'd where we stopped getting great customer service from our server and got no customer service until it was time to pay, and then there was not an apology or a thank you come see us again.
Sorry Lighthouse I won't revisit. First impressions are everything!

Food was fine. Service was lacking. Had a group of 9, asked to split the bill 5 ways. The server said no problem. She did ask if we were good after the food arrived but never offered to refill drinks outside of that. Also, didnt bother splitting the bill like she said she would and added a 20% tip since it was a group. Pretty disappointing to pay nearly $40 (for shrimp tacos) for dinner and get mediocre service.

I have been here several times, I usually try to take my family out to dinner when I am in town. Food was great as usual however after the meal was over is when I was completely turned off and disrespected.
I told waitress one bill and I was going to pay. She hands me Mt receipt and filled out the tip information before I even saw the bill. She also said it was a table of 8 and it was 6. I totally get sometimes it is automatically factored in with large groups. This was not. It was hand wrote. I ended up leaving more than what she wrote for me to pay her since people at my table handed me cash for the tip previously. It is very disrespectful to fill out a customer's receipt with what you think you earned. I will probably not be going back there again, everytime I've been there i pay $300-$700 in total bill and usually tip more than rhe amount zhe wrote down for me to pay.
I truly hope that person is delt with by management for lying on the guest count and filling out a customer's area on a receipt.
Its not letting me post a picture on this review for some reason otherwise id upload pictures of both receipts before I wrote anything

Service was great! The crab soup was good but some of the meat was cold. The crab cake not so good. The meat was on the dry side and had almost no taste. I have been there in the past and enjoyed it. Not sure I will go there again after this experience. Oh yeah there is a 3% charge when paying with a credit card!

Mixed feelings. The food was quite good. Overpriced. And they charge for credit card transactions! The service was possibly the most unattended I have seen in a while. I’m not sure if they were understaffed. It didn’t seem like it. The tables were cleared promptly so that tells me that they do have staff. But as far as table touching goes… It didn’t seem like this was something that was taught to the servers.

You think that with the cost of the meal with someone would’ve asked us if everything was all right. If we needed something else. They weren’t rude. And they gave us the appropriate to go boxes and the additional condiments I requested. So like I said, it’s a mixed feeling.

There is a small parking lot. So limited parking. There is also street parking if you can find it.

Was there for a rehearsal Dinner. Normally the food is outstanding but crab cakes had a lot of filler, the rolls seemed like an after thought cold and hard and not enough for everyone there but the salad and flank steak was good. Service was slow as wait staff talked in the corner but nice to know they have an upstairs. The group was great!
