Lighthouse Restaurant
 
We went yesterday and no surprise, they had the new "snowbird"
menu with prices $2-3 higher than usual.
Asked the server about the haddock and was assured it was the same as the casserole they previously had. No way, it was plated with limp green beans and a half a cup of slaw. Fish was good, that's it. Will wait until spring before trying again.

It is the Harvest season. In Ohio it is called making hay while the sun shines.

:bigbow: Hi, sorry,, went there twice, not good, really substandard, and will not go there again. Service slow, noisy, not clean and food was poorly cooked, greasy and so not for us. Please excuse rant

Was a big fan of the Lighthouse Restaurant but feel it's gone downhill lately. Off the list for now.

Went there yesterday it was packed. Football Game was on. Left because of the wait. Guess there are quite a few loyal customers that go there. Noticed prices are a little higher at several places, Also some happy hours are also changing. Give it a few months and everything will be back to normal.

Sorry, but I think that name has already been taken about 20 times or more.

Have not been back since they got rid of tap beer and jacked their prices up, too many other options.

We like Lighthouse. We eat outside and have very good food and no noise. We think their prices are reasonable.

I find nothing on their menu worth going for when I can either, A) make it myself, or B) find it cheaper at another restaurant. Really a shame that with such a great location what they do is the best they can do.

Yeah, but it's no longer very good hay.


It had excellent food several years ago.

Agree. I think they shot themselves in the foot when they removed the Draft Beer.
