    The food was amazing. The staff also made this an excellent experience. My server Tyler was the best. Tyler suggested the pot pie soup. It was totally delicious. After dinner Tyler took the time to take our photo (outside). The view itself was breathtaking. Thanks you Tyler, you made our day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND….

    We sat at the bar which we love to do. Bartenders were all very friendly. They were very busy but as attentive as they were able to be. Food was great. We did not have any ourselves but the holiday drinks looked beautiful!

    Four family members from out of state and I had dinner tonight at The Lighthouse Restaurant. The holiday spirit was alive with beautiful and festive decorations and lovely live music. The food was awesome. Four of us had steaks, three filet mignons and one top sirloin. The steaks were totally tender, cooked to perfection, the salads crisp and fresh, potatoes and vegetables tasty and cooked just right, the warm bread and butter delicious and the Grouper which the fifth person in our party had was scrumptious. Our waitress was very pleasant and patient and very attentive and helpful. We had a wonderful dining experience and I cannot wait to get back for another exceptional meal.
