I generally like the lighthouse, but it could use some improvements imo. hopefully she will raise the bar.

The woman who is the manager is a gem. She is very friendly and open to conversation and comments.

I like the ambience of the Lighthouse especially the outside patio. I especially like their fish n' chips and happy hour.

Considering their prices and quanity of food, it is hard to beat. We both are very happy with food and service at the Lighthouse. Try the Bar Harbour Salid.

I also like the Lighthouse especially when they have bands outside.

I agree. I am glad she is the one that bought it.

I am impressed that Bill is giving us all the insider information. Come on Bill, tell us how you know....are you a restaurant vendor or a Morse????

Neither but close to restaurant people. I actually asked Louie the chef at Cane and he didn't deny it. The villages would like to have all of the clubs go private, also Katie Bells but I think the terms from the developer make it hard to profit in relation to the risk and and difficulty of running a restaurant. The Cheese cake Factory was very interested in the corner that now has Luiginos but they looked at the business model every which way and couldn't see how they could be profitable.

Ate there tonight....had the Shrimp and Grits...YUMMY! The manager is a gem. She stopped by our table several times to chat and the last time was just as we were finishing our dinner. Not only did she go get us take out boxes for our leftovers but she brought my mom a fresh container of tarter sauce so she would have one with a tight lid on it.

I love that place! I've always been fortunate enough to eat out on the deck and loved it each and every time!

Default Not a Done Deal

Negotiations are on-going. Ink is not yet dry. Same is true for Cane Gardens.

There was an issue my party had when my wife and another women in my party collapsed at the Lighthouse. It wasn't there fault but something about the check. The manager was very understanding and promised to give us a rain check on our next visit to The Lighthouse. I returned to NY a few days later and never had the chance to eat there again. The promise she made was over the phone. I hope she will still honor the free dinners when I return?

I am confused Tom.... Are you saying that your wife and another woman fainted when they saw the check. Maybe I am misreading.
