Had a lovely chill dinner overlooking the river. Food was very good casually presented. Our waitress was excellent!

My server, Milo, went above and beyond to make my wife and I’s experience at The Lighthouse a fun time. We’d definitely go again!

Stopped by a few days ago with my sisters for a drink and dessert. I had the Half cut seltzer with a splash of lime and my sister highly recommended the white Sangria! Our server Milo was very attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend !

couldn’t recommend the place more. Stopped in to have just a drink and our lovely server Mylo convinced us to have a bite to eat. Boy were we glad! Best lobster roll I’ve ever had! Food is fresh and the view is beautiful, our server knew just what to recommend for our tastes. Really impressed!

First, I hope this is constructive & not destructive. I want to love 540, but have been disappointed. I'm not gonna lie - we're lured by the string lights, the location - both the Lighthouse & 540 North (great burger/crummy fries/terrible plastic ramekins for everything)...
But this is for the Lighthouse. Started with ripped, disheveled menus literally thrown on the table by our server. I'm not a snob, but when you've got a $36 lobster roll on the menu, you should do better!
Lipstick on the glasses, one (of the same) cider bubbling away/another flat. Our server who was more interested in his dance moves, didn't seem to care about much (aside from his dance moves), with a sort of 'It is what it is, Muchacho' kind of attitude.
But it was the nachos that were the real steal: I've eaten alot of nachos in my life (sadly), but on a patio with maybe 15 people (nobody really eating), these nachos took 30min & were literally 15 chips on a baking pan. Cheese, a few peppers, maybe green onion? No salsa or sour cream was served with them until we finally distracted DanceFever enough from his moves when we were onto our last three chips! Twenty bucks! Twenty bucks?!
Now, I know they gots the string lights & the tunes & the location, but at the end of the day, that's ALL they had. When our server finally brought the bill & asked how everything was, I couldn't even respond with more than a confused smile, because clearly this guy didn't care & clearly he served us these bizarre nachos without even asking himself: Yeah, how were things? Oh, right...
Hope this helps. I see alot of hype & trend these days, but few that can really deliver past the BonAppetit pics on their website. I think for the prices we pay these days for food & drink, we deserve better. Don't you think?

Thanks to Bella and Emily for the fantastic experience at The Lighthouse by 540. Delicious menu with smoked chicken and ice cold drinks with a spectacular view to boot! Will be coming back soon :)

The vibes are really great here! I was told by word of mouth that food isn't that great here but drinks are good. Especially at night when its lit up. Also super pet friendly. I think its a nice spot to stop at grab a drink and take in the views. If you're new to fredericton, the dave matthews is a drink thats unique to the province.

Really nice restaurant. I sat out on the patio. Beautiful view! I enjoyed the delicious Caesar salad and they accommodated my dog with some pulled chicken for him to eat

We found this cute little spot across from our hotel. There is a nice walking / biking path along the river that is close to the patio. It was a pet friendly patio and they even kindly brought over some water for our 2 dogs. We don’t order food, only a drink and the service was friendly and efficient.
We would come back again if we found ourselves back in Fredricton it was a nice atmosphere with good views and reasonable prices.
Attentive and friendly service and good atmosphere, but the food and drinks were not reflective of the price. The portion size of most of the food was quite small and the quality of the food was quite lacklustre - tortillas for fish tacos were cold and the fish was more of a fishstick, the salad was mostly just lettuce and the potato salad had lettuce as a filler. The drinks were also quite watery and were high end cocktail prices. A few small changes could make a large improvement!

Quality of food and drinks poor at half the price

We stopped by for a drink today. Great atmosphere and Avery was awesome. We will be back for some food and drink next time.👍

We dropped by The Lighthouse for a laid-back afternoon bite, and let’s just say—it hit all the right notes. The drinks were top-tier, with a strong showing of local selections that elevated the whole vibe (though a splash of York County Cider on the menu would’ve been the cherry on top). The food? Stellar. I went with the chicken quesadilla paired with a crisp Caesar salad—both were beautifully plated and packed with flavor. My wife opted for the burrata, which was as elegant as it was delicious. Maybe it was the fresh air, the outdoor seating, or the panoramic views, but every bite tasted like summer at its best. Service was on point—friendly, attentive, and somehow always there the moment you needed them without ever hovering. This place has officially earned a spot on our go-to list. Can’t wait to come back.
