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.

Beautiful place with great views. Absolutely HORRID service, sat for 40 mins and had no one take our food order. Wasnt that busy and plenty enough servers, waited 25 mins after recieving our drinks for someone to take our food order then finally flagged somebody down for the bill as we were completely turned off from even ordering food. This wasnt a one off either the gentleman next to us had to flag someone down just to even order a drink after sitting for 20 mins. This is unnacceptable service. I see a lot of other reviews from the past 3 years stating the exact same statements. Staff needs better training.

Incorrect operating hours!

Gotta fix your hours. Wife and I came here from out of town and were excited based on reviews. It's September 21 at 8pm, it says you're open until 11pm. Nobody is here, and there are ZERO signs to direct people. Not cool.
Horrible customer service. Would go into more detail but I'm having a manic episode due to no help whatsoever

Great view of the river from the south side and great patio. Easily accessible from Queen street. Friendly staff however service was a bit slow. (I think they had a large table that caused some back up). We had the tuna poke bowl which was fairly meh, and didn't seem very traditional. Had the lobster roll, which was fine, but nowhere near worth it at $36.
Overall good, but I would recommend a lot of adjacent restaurants before this one.
Lovely deck overlooking the river!
Fish cakes and fish tacos were a hit!
