    I had the cioppino, which was very good. The broth had a great flavor, and the dish included many seafood, including shrimp, mussels, and fish. Sadly, my partner's dish was not good, so she had to return her pasta dish.

    The service was outstanding. We had a limited time to eat prior to making a concert engagement. Our server was very consciences of our time and we made the concert with time to spare, while not feeling that our meal was rushed - delicate balance...

    Had a lovely meal here today! Food was very tasty and service was unpretentious and efficient! We were greeted with a warm welcoming smile from the moment we arrived. Can’t wait to go back - sitting by the windows had a lovely view of the boats in the harbor. Highly recommend!

    Our reservation was actually later and we arrived early. They were able to switch some tables around where they could get us in earlier. The seating at the window was so nice watching the sunset which made a good start to a romantic evening. The staff was really nice and quick with severing our meal. The meal was absolutely wonderful prime rib with brussel sprouts was so yummy.

    Hi Kellie, I'm so happy to hear you had a nice experience! We can't wait to see you again. Cheers, Erin A.

    Service was beyond slow we seated for over a half an hour before a food order was taken. I ordered a seafood risotto. The risotto had absolutely zero flavor. It tasted like rice mush. The clam chowder was delicious though. The only highlight was, they did not have our reservation when we walked in, but they still found us a table rather quickly.
    Lighthouse Bar & GrillResponded on February 17, 2025
    Hi Chase, We're so sorry to hear that this was your experience. We hear your feedback and will consider it while moving forward with ways we can improve. I hope we see you again in the future so that you can experience the best we have to offer. I am glad you enjoyed your clam chowder though! Sincerely, Erin A.
