    We frequently dine at Lighthouse Bar & Grill and always enjoy it. However, our recent visit wasn’t up to their usual standards. We will be back though.

    We enjoyed the prime rib special and the steak and the add on of a lobster tail were delicous and done perfectly. The evening was beautiful and the view adds to the pleasure of the evening.

    Food was fine. Nothing great but adequate. The server for our table was very pleasant and funny. The kitchen had VERY significant issues on the night we visited. It took over two hours to receive our meals. While the server was apologetic delays like this should have resulted in comped meals or free desserts. The restaurant’s response to this service delay was wholly inadequate.

    Very disappointing experience. Haven’t eaten here in quite a while so thought we’d give it another try for Mother’s Day. The special brunch buffet we thought we were getting turned out to be a 4-course pre fix menu. The food was horrible, to the point we each had 2 bites and that’s it. We also sampled each other’s dishes through each course. All were bad, with a few misrepresentations on the menu as well… In addition to this, the whole experience just felt like a “money grab.” Honestly would have been much happier making a donation and leaving. We didn’t want to be rude, as the manager was really kind, so we stayed and endured it; however, we definitely left hungry and no one bothered to ask why we really weren’t eating anything.

    We sat outside. Very nice. Excellent service. I felt the portions in the salads were quite small. I had the beet salad and it was a small portion. Waiter and bus person were friendly and very good.
