Our experience at the The Lighthouse was very delightful! We were seated in the Birthday section with lots of greenery. We were celebrating our Anniversary! The food menu was extensive with lots of seafood, pasta, great sides, macaroni and lobster, greens, candied yams (delicious)! All of our meals were delicious and great portions! We were served a large piece of carrot cake with a sparkler for our Anniversary! Great experience and we will visit again and recommend to our friends and family!

Tiny place but it somehow added to the ambiance of an intimate & charming restaurant. Chef Lana was gracious and it's a great experience to have her bring out some of the dishes. Shakira the server was gracious as well. Good food and we will definitely return.
