The Lighthouse Pointe is one of our favorite places to eat in TV. I love, love, love the scallops basket. The only disappointment was the clam bellies. My husband ordered them and they weren't cleaned or cooked properly. You can't be good at everything. It aint nothing but a thing and the clams won't stop us from eating there again. Yummie.

Helene, the princess who shares our pad LOVES the catfish from the Lighthouse! I like it too, but it makes it twice as nice to see her enjoying hers so much. Her dad Sweetie likes the Salmon.

Hahaha! Ed, I thought the same thing!
PS: I love the oysters! :icon_hungry:

I've had the pleasure of watching Princess Helene enjoy the catfish at The Lighthouse Gracie. Good company makes the scallops even sweeter. (You guys should join us for a night swim on the Historic Side some night, Gracie. Helene would love it. We have an amazing group of friends who swim aka socialize/laugh, nearly every night.)

We originally ate at this restaurant a couple of years ago and it was okay, but never had an overwhelming urge to return. Last night, I read momesu's review about shrimp & grits...

We ate there today and I now have a new favorite restaurant! I did have the shrimp & grits and they were beyond incredible. Hubby had the shrimp basket, which was also amazing. I've never tasted fried shrimp that delicious. I don't even like fries, but I could eat a basket of theirs. The slaw and sauces were homemade and perfect.

Manager Bonnie visited our table several times, and her personality and genuine concern for the customers made a perfect dining event even more perfect.

We'll be back again very soon!

A buddy and I just got back from the Lighthouse. We really enjoyed our early supper of Shrimp and Grits and veggies and onion rings and sweet potato fries. Huge portions of perfectly prepared food! Bonnie also visited our table at least four times. I just hope she doesn't burn herself out!

Indy...You two are really good looking and far too young to live here.

Oh, Gracie, You're making us blush. All I will say is both Robin and I are "legal" Villagers.

So glad you enjoyed your return visit.

Mmmmm....my mom had the Butter fish when we were there last week and she loved it. I got the leftovers to come home with and it was even good reheated in microwave which is pretty unusual for fish. At least I don't usually like fish reheated.

To Ed and Judy::: Two women in my party collapsed after ordering the meal but before it came. One woman was taken to hospital. The other was my wife. There was no explaination as to why both fainted, but everything checked out at hospital. Could the cosmo's they drank have been tainted? Possibly. Could because both women were on heavy duty medicine for other health issues, the alcohol they drank knock them for a loop? The answer will never be resolved. But because of all the confusion, the waitress expected me to pay for the dinners. I paid (I shouldn't have) When I called The Lighthouse the next day, the manager promised us "It would be on the house" next time. This happened a few days before my return trip to NY. There were no coupons,vouchers or anything. Just a promise. Will they honor our dinners the next time we are in TV? I hope so. If not I'll be on a rant on TOTV.

Thanks for clarifying tom. Sounds like no long-lasting effects of the spell, but that is rather mysifying.

Am I the only one that thinks the Lighthouse owes these people nothing? They were well enough to order their food and, from his own statement, the women possibly mixed alcohol while on "heavy duty meds." How is that possibly the fault of the restaurant? Why should the restaurant be out the money when they prepared and served the meals? I guess I'm surprised that you haven't gone after the restaurant for the medical expenses incurred, although maybe you've done that also.

Seriously?
