I have read a few negative reviews about the Lighthouse restaurant. Never went there until today, for lunch.
It was fine. It was good. I ordered the lunch special of Fish and Chips, $6.99....Delicious. Not a huge serving, but fair for the price. Service was very good.

We ate outside, by the water, with the breeze off the lake it was delightful.

I'd recommend it.

Were the plates paper and utensils plastic? For years that is what they served food on.

I was there a couple of times just this past year (2024) for lunch. It was regular restaurant-quality ceramic and metal utensils. Not sure why it would even matter - most seafood joints in Connecticut served on paper plates with plastic utensils and you still had to pay a premium for hot buttered lobster roll platters and whole-belly clams.

Lighthouse isn't intended to mimic a high-end fancy restaurant. It's intended to mimic a local large New England seafood joint.

When we used a knife and fork to eat our food was not happy plastic started to melt.

All the more reason to “see for yourself “ rather than avoid a place because of some nitwits review.
Glad you enjoyed your meal……we do too.

Pretty sure that started during Covid.

We were last there in March and had regular plated and silverware...

Plus, the clam chowder was as good as ever!

nope. regular restaurant style ceramic plates, bowls etc.

My friend had some jambalaya and said it was really good.

$6.99 fish and chips? Any idea what type of fish? I can’t believe it was a quality fish at that price. Personally, I always ask…will not eat Swai or other farmed junk fish.

We have ate at the Lighthouse restaurant for lunch a couple times in the past six months.. Both times, the food was good, the beer was cold, the service was good and the prices are reasonable.

[Mary Ann G]

I agree.

I’m glad someone brought this up. We’ve been avoiding
Lighthouse but will have to give it another try.

We went to the Lighthouse for dinner and the food was acceptable but not worth the price. The lake view and the outside dining was awesome! We do feel this is a good place for lunch but not for an expensive dinner.

$7 for a F&C lunch.............getting about $2 worth of food...........trying to fill seats.

100% agree with your assessment.

Won't go back after total disregard by waitress.
