We were in town for the weekend and had the opportunity to share dinner with friends local to the area. Our evening was relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable. Everyone's food and drink was found on point and perfect. We will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant upon our next visit. Thank you all!
The walleye is really good. I only was able to eat half it.
The rest is for you Skip Normandin!
Food was amazing and the service was quick.

Don's Lighthouse Grille is a seafood restaurant in Cleveland that provides a delightful dining experience. Upon arrival, guests are warmly greeted by the friendly staff, like the attentive servers who guide them to their tables and ensure attentive service throughout the meal.
The menu boasts an impressive selection, including starters like the tender and flavorful Prince Edward Island mussels, served with warm, rustic bread for dipping. Diners can also enjoy a variety of entrees, such as the seared scallops, which are cooked to perfection and accompanied by a savory mushroom risotto, as well as the pretzel-encrusted walleye, featuring a slightly crunchy coating and hot, tender fish, complemented by real mashed potatoes and a grilled corn kernel medley. The scallops are considered top notch, and the risotto is very flavorful, though a bit thick for some tastes. The pretzel breading on the walleye is really good, but some may not order the fish again. Recent visitors also enjoyed the pork entrée and the shrimp scampi, which was very lemony.
Guests recently enjoyed the happy hour bar area, where the food and drinks were very good. One ordered the hamburger with fries and a tequila sunrise cocktail. Though service was a little slow due to being short staffed, they expressed a willingness to return. The food and service here have been consistently good for decades. On a recent visit, the pretzel-crusted walleye and pork entrée were both delicious. The ambiance was great, with efficient staff, and a nice, upscale casual atmosphere suitable for relaxing after a day at the beach or attending the opera. Mussels, crabcakes, and pomegranate martinis are also popular choices.
The restaurant also offers an atmosphere suitable for celebrations, with guests often celebrating anniversaries. The chef's family-style entrees add a thoughtful touch, and even with the generous portions, diners may find room for dessert, like the popular key lime sorbet. One visitor praised the appearance and taste of the food, noting the fantastic service and upscale casual ambiance. The menu also includes appetizers such as calamari and shrimp cocktail, and desserts like apple pie crumble with vanilla ice cream. The bread and salad were highly appreciated, and the dressing was phenomenal.
