When I moved to Jersey City 10 years ago, I had friends coming to visit, and we were going to Brunch. I had no idea where to go, and I just googled restaurants. For some reason, the name Lighthorse Tavern jumped out at me. After checking the menu and photos, I chose it for Brunch. Ten years later, it is still one of my favorites. I have eaten brunch, lunch, and dinner there numerous times, and will continue to do so. The food is great, and the vibe is hip and fun. It can be loud...

Our family went to the restaurant to pre-celebrate Mother's Day on Saturday. We love all the dishes we ordered. The devil's egg is amazing, and the seafood tower is offered at a reasonable price, featuring very fresh seafood. Francis helped us, was so kind, and provided very good service. Overall we had a great experience and would love to go back again!

This menu was awesome, the food was Michelin level fantastic from appetizers to dessert. Our server was so attentive and adorable. I can't say enough about this place, its history, and the wonderful vibe. Will be back again and again.
