And by the way, I also had an unfortunate experience at the Lighthouse two years ago. The situation was a bit different though. I ordered 1 pound of whole belly fried clams. The price was $38, and I was ok paying that, especially since it was a birthday celebration. Anyway, when the dish arrived, there were like 1/4 pound of clams! I couldn’t believe it. Very disappointing, but because it was a birthday dinner I didn’t dispute it. |

I love the lighthouse. My belief when u are eating at an establishment, pick something off menu that you don’t need to alter unless it is for dietary reasons. Or cook at home.

Lighthouse Complaint
Just write a letter to both the Lighthouse Owners Group and the restaurant management stating your pricing complaint. Compare their cost to the Chophouse and other restaurants in the area.
Also let them know of your posting on this website and that so many Villagers read it. It seems somebody didn’t do their pricing homework or the restaurant believes Villagers are gullible. |

That being said, I can't help but suspect that the phraseology of the price question as posted might have been slightly altered to make his/her case. The phrase "how much would a $12 Grilled Caesar salad be to add a piece of salmon" seems a bit awkward---why state the price of the plain Caesar salad to the waitress in the question. More likely (just speculation) the question was simply " how much to add a piece of salmon to the salad", and the when the answer came back $23 there were some assumptions made. This is also likely what the server told the manager which is why he was inflexible. Like I said, the manager could have been smarter, but from the manager's point of view, I suppose he deals with the growing number of Villagers looking for "something for nothing" every day, and has problems sorting out the legitimate complaints. |

We were once a week customers at one time and had a similar shocking experience. When our youngest son came for a visit last time he really wanted to have the gigantic seafood sampler monstrosity that they serve so off to the Lighthouse we went. I asked the waiter where is the crowd on a beautiful night like this? I think I can guess at the answer. OP, I support everything you said since I experienced the same thing myself. I vote with my feet and wallet. I never like to bash either. Can’t believe that your personal experience was challenged or questioned! This isn’t a court of law. It’s a forum to share our views on things with our neighbors and to supposedly support each other. I’m with you totally.

this is why they lost 1812, no restuarant knowledge.

Sorry ,but special orders are real pain in the kitchen, now pricing that’s another story ,no answer, communication with staff confusing. but taking an attitude to never return to restaurant you enjoy is silly but you win .

Reading is a "skill", use your "logic" and re-read the article. I didn't go cheap. I was willing to pay $11 for the add on salmon which is higher than any restaurant I have ordered a salmon add before. Your long diatribe was so far off point that it barely deserves this response.

Howie has been on TOTV for about 5 years. Two posts,
both complaints. . If everyone here for 5 years hasn't figured out the restaurant scene, especially Howie who goes to that restaurant 2 times a month. . geez people, get the hook out of your cheeks. . |

Pre made Cesar Salad kit and piece of delicious smoked salmon from either Publix, Fresh Market, or Sprouts for around $20. No cooking required, no tip necessary, and eat it on a paper plate so no cleanup. Usually have some leftover for lunch the next day. Problem solved.
