Lighthouse has mixed reviews, but when we went there we were very happy with our choices. My only real criticism was the issue with tartar sauce. They don't make their own, you get a little Kraft brand package of it and if you want another one you have to pay $1.00 for extra. It's not a cheap lunch there, so at the prices they charge, they really should just add a second "on request" and not charge for it. Or they can save money and make their own. They can even make it to order, it only takes a few seconds and costs less than 5 cents per serving.
Their food was terrific, the atmosphere was also great, lakeside dining.
For Mexican I'm an Ay Jalisco fan. They are a -western- Mexican restaurant, not a Tex-Mex. Similar menu to any other Mexican place but the flavors and consistencies are slightly different. A shredded beef taco is basically beef stew in a taco shell. Sometimes you'll get little pieces of potato. It's delicious. Their salsa is never the same from one visit to the next, but it's always thin, almost a thinned out ketchup-based sauce with bits of peppers and tomatoes, onions and cilantro, which is typical of western Mexican salsa.
We've discovered that NYPD Pizza is pretty good if you don't try to get any fancy toppings. The more topping-centric you get, the less New York style the result. Cheese, cheese with bacon, cheese with shrooms, margherita style with sliced tomatoes and sliced buffalo mozzarella with fresh basil and olive oil instead of shredded cheese...
All of those are good at NYPD.
