Came for lunch on a Friday, fantastic! Fridays are fairly quiet and it’s easy to get a seat. Our party came at different times for our reservation, and they accommodated us well at the bar. One of my party members has challenging dietary restrictions, and our waitress did a phenomenal job of checking with the kitchen, and also was upbeat and kind and chatted with us for a while. The Seafood Chowder is my favorite! The hush puppies are a must too. Loved the apple pie.

We had a family dinner at Chocolat and it was a phenomenal experience for all of us! Every plate was clean or brought home. My catfish and grits were outstanding! Jonesing to get back there to have it again. The hostess and servers were pleasant and attentive, and the restrooms are clean. This is my 3rd time there and the establishment has remained consistent in quality of service! Definitely recommend!

Great dining experience. The portions are smaller so my friend and I shared a few dishes but good food and great service. Live jazz created a really nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Our experience at the The Lighthouse was very delightful! We were seated in the Birthday section with lots of greenery. We were celebrating our Anniversary! The food menu was extensive with lots of seafood, pasta, great sides, macaroni and lobster, greens, candied yams (delicious)! All of our meals were delicious and great portions! We were served a large piece of carrot cake with a sparkler for our Anniversary! Great experience and we will visit again and recommend to our friends and family!
