Default The Lighthouse

We had a late start yesterday & could not get a seat @ one of hour favorite places (the bar), wife said-lets give the Light House a shot--ordered 2 drinks very skimpy @ $9--ea. double what we would pay @ Arnold Palmer or the Cane--looked @ the menu-I wanted to split-but the Admiral said lets give it a try

Spent $90.00 including tip--they'll never see us again

its gotta be Arnold, the Cane & Bonefish for us if we still want to eat in TV

But but you’re paying for the ocean view.

We never pay for an ocean view ,we lived and cruised on our own motor yacht-did 30k miles on the waterways over six years--also we always eat at the bar-this way we get a chance to chat with others-IMHO-view is for people who have never seen much in their life before moving here

NC mountains view, Lake Louise View , Banff View, Canadian Rockies View, Great lakes View, Haliakula @ sunrise view , Pacific Hwy view, too much to list, we did all our traveling while we were young enough to really enjoy --TV-uh as far as view is concerned

Try St.John Seafood ! We have also stop going to lighthouse.Dont mind paying for the view when the food is good but we gave it 3 try’s and each time came out with the same conclusion. They are staying in business because of that view, not the food and service.

Just looked @ St. Johns menu--much better choices--the twin lobster tails I had were tasteless, the Admirals scallops & shrimps were a joke--the scallops were just about the size of a quarter and the jumbo shrimp were BS-probably 30/lb--4 ea--WOW

total ripoff--for people who know real seafood

But you get a free shot when the sun goes down.

Thumbs down Have Heard

I have heard from a few prior dedicated diner's at The Lighthouse that they have given it up. The menu is no longer as good, the food is no longer good and the prices are bad. They have all refused to go back. We use to go there a lot but based on this feed back will no longer go.

Like a few others on this site, we have been recently disappointed by The Lighthouse. We first ate there about 3 years ago and enjoyed it. The last couple of times has been so-so food and higher prices. They took draft beer off the menu a few months ago.

New menu at the Lighthouse is terrible. They no longer have draft beers, carafes or 1/2 carafes of wine, no onion rings, no swordfish and the lobster roll for $25 is skimpy when you can get a better one at lunchtime at Glenview on Fridays for $14.99. Lots of changes at The Lighthouse but not for the better.

They must be having $ problems--don't expect them to be around much longer-when Hemingways was having $ problems--their menu when downhill & they sold out

Willing to bet the Lighthouse will change hands in the near future

That's disappointing to hear. We tried to go there a few days ago, but the dining room was full and it was too hot to sit in the sun. I commented that if they installed sun shades, they would have more comfortable seating.

Reducing the quality/quantity of food is the kiss of death.

For Pete's sake, he was joking.
