    This restaurant was outstanding & I consider myself quite the foodie! I had the lake perch dinner with garlic mashed potatoes & a generous Caesar salad. Annette was our server & was very honest when answering questions about the menu, much appreciated! A gorgeous restaurant right on the water & their outdoor area was stunning too. Can’t wait to go back!

    We chose The Lighthouse to have our daughter’s high school graduation dinner with our family who flew in from out of state. It was our first time dining there and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Everything was top notch. The wonderful staff, the amazing food and the beautiful ambiance. They not only worked with us to make sure we had accommodations for my family from out of state, they also switched the day when the graduation was postponed due to the rain. They were so wonderful to work with and made sure we had a reserved spot. They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. That speaks volumes! We will be back again and have all of our important celebrations done there. We can’t thank you and your wonderful staff enough.

    Food was good and the scallops were excellent. Price and ambiance were okay. The view of the lake was nice but the noise level at times was loud. Server was very attentive and did not rush our service. We will be back .

    It was a very nice evening with a killer view of the lake. The food and service was outstanding! We will be back and recommend it to our friends. It was an hour drive but very much worth it!
