Folks, forget I said anything about butterfish, OK?
I'm sure it's delicious.

The Lighthouse butterfish is rumored to be an aphrodisiac. Just ask Mr. Midnight.

We have not eaten at the Lighthouse in a couple of years, have they changed for the better? I did not care for their food then, but now? New menu, new management?
Does anyone know what butter fish really is? If it is Swaii, then it is just a type of farm raised catfish from places like Thailand. Catfish.

You folks had me convinced to give Lighthouse a try until someone compared it to Bonefish. After two trys I find bonefish offer poor quaity food meager portions but high prices

IMHO, there is no comparison other than they both specialize in fish/seafood. Entirely different menus, atmosphere, etc. Not saying one is better than the other, that's an opinion based on personal tastes. But they are very different in many ways.

Could someone be so kind as to post where "The Lighthouse" is? I'm not a big seafood person, but we may want to try this place.

For what it's worth, the mental picture of my wife jumping off the dresser instantly made me think she would then hit her head on the new ceiling fan I installed.....I'm thinking that would spoil the mood......

The Lighthouse Restaurant is at Lake Sumter Landing, right on the lake. Good food.

OK - so I've been reading about the 'butterfish' for a few days now. Today I took my guests to the Lighthouse. I've been there before and never been disappointed but then again never thought of the place as a GOT TO visit.
Anyway, I had the butterfish - it was ok but again I doubt I'd ever order it again. Don't get me wrong, if you think you'd like it you probably will but not necessary a 'crave it' dish. My guest had the blackened talapia and it looked great and he ate it all.
Now the lobster bisque at Cane Garden on the other hand is a MUST HAVE in my opinion IF you're going there.
