    Ken is a great host and the Lighthouse exemplifies fine dining with a very approachable atmosphere. The bar is lively and lots of fun. The food is always superb. We’re local so we go to a lot of different restaurants in Marin and lighthouse is one of our favorites.

    Food was fresh and good. It just isn’t a pretty place. Service was good. They did a nice ice cream for a birthday with some fruit. It was quiet not to loud.

    Had the lamb chops; they were fantastic and the service was great. This restaurant has been open for only 3 months. Get in there before it gets too crowded. Plenty of parking spaces in the back.

    The Lighthouse has a great menu with lots of choices. We started with the lobster soup and oysters Rockefeller. Both were very good. My partner had the lobster roll and he loved it and I had the wild salmon which was very good. We look forward to returning in the near future.

    I love the location, the service was excellent! The food was good. I had a filet mignon that was beautiful. I didn’t love the salads. I thought they were a bit overdressed.  but there’s definitely potential if they put less on. Cocktails and wine were good and very average pricing for restaurants these days. There are 2 sides of the restaurant one is louder than the other. We were in the quieter part which was good. We had asked for it because the louder part is harder to hear each other. All in all very nice experience!

    This restaurant has a great setting and a wide variety of food. It overlooks all the yachts in the harbor and has an active bar!

    We had a delicious family celebration meal at the Lighthouse Bar & Grill. The outdoor seating in their lovely garden was perfect. We started with the calamari, tuna tartare, and Miyagi oysters. The oysters were the stars of the appetizers - fresh and excellent textured. Folks had the clam chowder and lobster bisque. Both were creamy, rich, and flavorful. For mains we has the lobster rolls, pork chop, burgers, schnitzel, omelette, and I had the coconut shrimp appetizer. All of the dishes were perfect. They were also generously portioned. The coconut shrimp came with a spicy coleslaw, which I loved. Overall we had a great dining experience. The service was efficient and friendly, and we all had a great meal in the lovely garden. Most diners were upstairs enjoying the harbor view, so that left the garden to our party of 7. We will return!

    I really like the Lighthouse. Sitting outside is lovely and the upstairs is delightfully light and open with views of the boats, and I have done both. Mark, our server, was great. My friend had the schnitzel and loved it. I had the cold half of a lobster which was delicious. My problem is that they serve both the half of a Maine lobster cold (which I had) and a full Maine lobster hot both of which come with a drawn butter. However, not only do they not have a bib (certainly not the end of the world) but they did not offer a finger bowl or a wet nap at the end of the meal. Mark looked at me like I had lost my mind when I asked for one. They must not serve too many lobsters because I can't believe I am the only person to want that. So, all in all, we both enjoyed our lunch but the end was a bit strange.
