Lighthouse Bar & Grill Lake Sumter Landing
 
I'm looking for current information on The Lighthouse. The last we were there was years ago. Food was dreadful, served on paper plates and plastic dinnerware. Service not much better. We have never returned. How is it now? We were gifted with a generous gift card for the restaurant. If its still dreadful I feel so bad for the person giving it to us. They don't live here and have no way of knowing good or bad.

Go and enjoy!
 
Excellent fish and chips. Good vibes there… good family owned restaurant. Lobster dinner for less than $20! Can’t get that in New England! Enjoy!

All of the paper and plastic ware has been long gone from the Covid era. Give them another shot and enjoy our visit together without prejudgments. Remember that the winter visitors are also here regarding seating and service. Maybe start with a nice lunch during the slower hours for a start.

Hmm, so much to say about that post, but I’ll keep it short. You caution about not having prejudgements. Then you prejudge Villages homeowners/residents as “visitors” because they aren’t full timers?

That person was simply saying to be warned that it could be crowded during the busy months. How did you see it any other way???lol

My only suggestion, unless the atmosphere has altered dramatically since we last ate there, is to wear ear defenders.

You will get exactly what one would expect for a meal under $10.00 in TV. Unlike many of the other restaurants on the squares they have been there a long time so must be doing something correctly.

If it worries you that much please DM me with your address and I'll unburden you of the gift card. Consider my random act of kindness that I take it off your hands. I won't even charge you for my time.

michgary 12-19-2024 08:27 PM

i'll pay you 5 for that gift card,, lets get this going,,, and pic it up tooo... :jester:

I was only here one time a couple of years ago. The food was not good, paper everything. The cocktails, not good. The view, fantastic.. what a waste of space… literally…

We ate there last month. Great service and good food. Packed, but it was a Friday night at 6pm.

Do they still have the lunch specials. Especially the $6.99 fish and chips.
