If the menu said the burger included pickles, then the manager was wrong to charge extra for them. I would have definitely brought that up to the manager. They don’t want to lose any patrons over something so trivial!

My husband and I love the Lighthouse! Love their patriotism and their hospitality! I would love to hear their side of this story. Forgive and forget works wonders. Blessings😊

You must be kidding? Can’t ask a question?

No, they are not closing The Lighthouse. They are just opening up a new venue. As far as the pickle charge goes, if it wasn't included, the server should have rightfully mentioned that there would be an upcharge and I would have asked my server upon presentation of the bill. For me personally, I love the atmosphere and water view there, and that minor issue would never keep me away.

Classic example of how rumors start.

This 75 cent charge will cost The Lighthouse from now on because when we eat out (with friends), we WON'T be going there. I tell this story whenever The Lighthouse comes up. This is their price for their greed. What a shame!

More space for the rest of us. :a040:

Hmmmmmmm pickles , 75 cents, retelling the story over and over
,did anyone say why didn’t you ask the manager

Have eaten at the Lighthouse. Does not look good for the new restaurant if I have to go by that experience. Why can’t they open a GOOD restaurant?

The NEW women bartenders at The Lighthouse make the martini's short as opposed to the older guys that were there. I DO NOT want to start an issue about men versus women here, just to say when you make a martini that is 1"" short from the top of the martini glass and charge top prices it shows UP very quickly when they are brought to the table. It is these small items that irks people, like the pickles charge, etc. Managers think they will save more money with charging for small items and shorting the drinks, but It BACKFIRES with seniors who may have short memories on a lot of things, except with drinks and food! Give a little get a LOT!

Exactly!!! Those who do not think it can be harmful to a business has most likely never owned much of anything, yet alone a successful business.

Its the point-of-his-story and not the 75 cents, to me it was very simple to comprehend... :ho:

A Martini was my drink. I never accepted a Martini that wasn't up to the brim. That's the way they should be served. I always sent short ones back for a fill up.
