Everything was delicious, especially the LH potatoes + the vibe on a Sunday morning is relaxed and unfussy in the exact way you’d want. No long line or brunch chaos

Tahini caesar was awesome. Ceviche was ok. Steak was bad. Cocktails were ok.
Definitely a happy hour spot. Good vibes. Food, not so much.

I’ve been to lighthouse on multiple occasions and it’s become my favorite restaurant in NYC. The food is truly phenomenal. I highly recommend for any occasion

Their happy hour is excellent (even though it really is only an hour, 5-6). The $1 oysters are super fresh and drinks are good too.

Great spot for happy hour, staff were courteous, music was jammin’ and can’t beat the value for the oysters!

Visited this spot in Williamsburg recently — loved the focus on fermented ingredients and bold flavors like tahini and harissa. We had two market fish dishes and a few mezze, and the quality was definitely high. Everything tasted super fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and unique. That said, portions were on the small side for the price (we spent around $90–$100), so just keep that in mind. When we asked if the mezze came with sourdough, the waitress said yes, but then the owner(I assume) asked us to order it separately ($5). Not a big deal, but small gestures like that could go a long way in making guests feel more welcome. The biggest downside was the noise — it was really loud inside, which made it hard to relax or have a proper conversation. Overall, we loved the food but probably wouldn’t come back just because of the atmosphere.

Not only is the happy hour incredible (daily 5-6 pm) but the vibe is stellar. We had $1 oysters (limit 1.5 dz), the cerveza + shot, and the sparkling cava (perfectly dry). The daily sandwich was $10 and was chicken shawarma. Maybe the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
Olivia was a wonderful server and the guy behind the bar was super friendly.
Def recommend and I’d be here everyday if I lived here.
Had the best time here. Our server Margaret took such good care of us, had the best energy the entire night and was so sweet! Also was celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and they treated us so specially and printed personalized menus for us saying happy birthday to him. The little touches really felt so special and they did an amazing job. Will be back here!!

I ordered the grass-fed steak (medium), listed as a 16oz steak for two ($53). Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
Cook level: Ordered medium, but the steak arrived well-done, which ruined both tenderness and flavor.
Portion size: The serving looked noticeably smaller than the advertised 16oz, especially considering it was billed as “for two.”
Cut quality: The steak was a tri-tip, which is a leaner, less expensive cut — not what I’d expect for a $53 steak. Most restaurants at this price point serve ribeye, strip, or filet.
Price/value: After tax and tip, the bill came to nearly $70 for a tri-tip steak, French fries, and a water. For that price, the quality, portion, and preparation simply didn’t match expectations — extremely overpriced.
Tip calculation: The system auto-calculated a 20% tip on the subtotal + tax, which came to $11.54. If it had been 20% on just the $53 subtotal, it would have been $10.60. Not a huge difference, but it feels misleading since tax shouldn’t be tipped on.
Menu: The menu itself is extremely limited, with vague wording like “spicy things” instead of clear descriptions. For a high-priced restaurant, I expected more variety and professionalism.
Atmosphere: The dining room did not seem to have proper air conditioning, and it was uncomfortably warm inside. The waitstaff were sweating heavily, which made the environment feel unpleasant and unprofessional.
Overall, the dish did not meet expectations in flavor, size, cut, or preparation — and the dining conditions only added to the poor experience. The menu was vague and unappealing, and the pricing felt excessive for what was delivered.
