    We went for our sons graduation celebration. Food was great and so was the service. This not the first visit but it was for our sons and he said it would not be his last.

    This was my first visit to the Lighthouse Restaurant after hearing so many great things about it! What I heard was definitely consistent with my experience…FANTASTIC!!! The appetizers, entree and drinks were top tier! The view of the lake while dining was breathtaking! Both of our servers, with one being in training, were exceptional! I will most definitely be returning very soon!

    The food was absolutely fabulous here. We had a waitress Stephanie, who was so much fun to work with. She told us about all the specials what she thought was really good and what she thought was just so so. Really enjoyed the evening there and the food was outstanding. So much food we brought enough home for another night. Will definitely be back back.

    The dinner was a great evening with the lake view and excellent food and service. Beef short ribs with roasted carrots, always perfectly spiced and tender, is highly recommended. Turkey Cordon Bleu, Soup of the Day, was delicious. Thank you.
