    Wow! We had an amazing time celebrating my son’s birthday at the Lighthouse this evening. The dining experience was fantastic—the music was outstanding, the food was delicious and plentiful, and our adult beverages were top-notch. The birthday serenade, complete with confetti, bubbles, and song, made the night truly unforgettable. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We’ll definitely be back! Hopefully, the n ext time, the croaker will be available to sample……

    First time and it was really lovely. I had just come from wedding dress shopping and had dinner with my girls, it was also my birthday and my crew surprised me with a cake. We ordered mostly apps and lots of drinks and they never tried to rush us out of our table (we were there for quite a while). Food was good and drinks were amazing! Looking forward to going back.
