    Definitely a fine dining menu with reasonable prices. The restaurant theme is lighthouses, hence, the name of the restaurant. This is a must go to restaurant on Sanibel. Food taste was excellent!

    We had an excellent meal and great service with Kathy. We only suggest you put dimmers in the overhead can lights at night and consider adding table cloths at night. It would improve the ambience and help with the noise level.
