    This is a great experience, the food, drinks and staff all explode in a positive manner. We always have a great time. The ambience is perfect. If you have never been, bring your special friend or spouse, you will be glad you did!! We are locals, we eat out everywhere with good food and service but this has become our favorite date night.

    There was a wedding going on and the DJ’s music was so loud and obnoxious, that the entire evening was ruined. Very sad

While we aim to create an enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, we regret that the music negatively impacted your experience.

We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much more enjoyable visit next time. Sincerely, April Smith Assistant Director of Food & Beverage Lighthouse Kitchen + Bar

    Avoid if you can! We had reservations for the Thanksgiving buffet, we were able to get one plate each before the picked over buffet was closed. Turkey was dry and flavorless, prime rib had too much inedible gristle and the vegetables were raw. Service was good and apologetic but overall the experience was horrendous, with screaming, running children and barking dogs. Much nicer options with better food are available in Marathon.

    The location was nice with a serene view of the water. We ate from the Thanksgiving buffet... the sides were delicious but the turkey was okay. My husband loved the prime rib. Overall it was a nice location for dinner. The servers were wonderful. I would recommend.

    This was our 3rd yr eating Thanksgiving. Had 1pm reservations. Our server was very friendly and tried hard . I do not know what was going on behind the scene but our dinner took 3 hrs. There were very large gaps in time between ordering beverages, delivery, ordering main course and delivery of first course second course and main meal. Basic server /restaurant standards just were not done. No steak knife to cut prime rib, gave us tiny teaspoons instead of a soup spoon for the soup. Prime rib was great, my fish was totally raw ( it was wrapped in a puff pastry) but the server never came back to check on how the food was so I was left to wait. Family style food was served in a cereal bowl sized bowl for 4 people to share????? Food was lukewarm warm, even the soup. Staff did not seem familiar with the holiday offerings. On line menu for the holiday meal was a little different than what was actually served, especially the desserts. None of the advertised desserts were served. Refills on water, tea did not happen, we had to flag down server. They were busy setting up the 4 pm buffet and maybe that is why the settled guests felt neglected.

    The Turkey was dry. The corn dish was the worst I ever had.The service was very slow. I would not have eaten this meal for free, much less these high prices. Henry Ogden 2083157668

    Overall, the food was very average, the atmosphere was nothing like it looked in the photos, the floor was sticky, and the service was a 4 out of 10.
