The ambiance and location with amazing view cannot be beat. I have eaten there once or twice over the years for special occasions - it's very expensive, and I remember the food being fantastic. But this time was a disappointment. Our blackened salmon sliders on the happy hour menu were the right price and cooked to perfection. But our stuffed sweet potato entree was undercooked and lacking. The presentation was spectacular, but it was mostly just undercooked, slightly hard sweet potatoes without much inside stuffing. My husband ordered a non alcoholic drink. He tasted it and thought it was alcoholic. I tasted it and immediately said, that's champagne. We asked the server and she said it was definitely non alcoholic. A few minutes later she came out very apologetic - it was champagne. She brought out the correct non alcoholic drink and gave it to us for free, which felt like the right way to treat a customer. The service was very good. I wouldn't have bothered to write a review for a mistake they made up for, if it hadn't been for our $26 entree. It tasted boring and undercooked. My drinks were lovely. They comped the dessert I ordered because it was our anniversary, which was very nice. Tasted great, but kind of hard for a chocolate torte in my opinion. I'll definitely give this place another chance, but I will stick to fish - which they really know how to prepare. It's such a lovely spot and the service was excellent. It's overpriced in my opinion, but when they cook and garnish a dish to perfection, as I have seen before, I'm willing to pay premium prices once in a while. Happy Hour was great.

Beautiful day to eat near the water. Food was average. We came from Canada to meet a friend for lunch. Compared to eating out in Vancouver we find the prices really high for the food served. Lunch for 3 including tip was $150 USD with each of us having a cocktail.

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.
