It was our first time had such a wonder time everyone was so accommodating from the manager to our girl Rebecca thank you so much!

We went for birthday celebrations and the piano player, Ken James was there. He was excellent. With wonderful playing and stories. The food was excellent and our server was wonderful.

For the past six years, our family has celebrated our son’s birthday at Parker’s Lighthouse. This tradition has become a cherished part of our family’s yearly celebrations. The restaurant’s exceptional location offers stunning ocean views that complement the delicious meals and excellent service we’ve come to expect. It’s the perfect setting for making lasting family memories.

We had our first visit and New Year dinner and it was very nice. We received great service and the ambience was amazing. We came a bit early, and were offered to await our time at the bar or be seated early. We decided to be seated early and were sat at a beautiful window seat overlooking the holiday lights at the LB Convention Center. I had the Betty Paige and it was delicious, the champagne car was to either take as a shot or add in. I chose to add-in to savor it with my meal. Specialties we chose were the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms, which I would choose over and over again! And the Flannery Beef Hangar Steak, which was also quite good. We will be back for more cocktails and fare. It was amazing!

We made the perfect choice for our New Years Day 2025 dinner. Ammatoli gave us an unforgetable meal and memorable service by Jennifer J. We only live less than 2 blocks away & we were always walking past, seeing the meals and taking in the aroma of the food. We decide what better day than New Years Day to stop in. We had 5:15 reservations (we were shocked that they had availability). We arrived about 5:05 and we're seated promptly at 5:15. I'm not sure of the hostesses name, but she was very friendly, welcoming and had a big smile. Walking inside, it was gorgeous. The decor and ambiance was amazing, classy yet not formal. Thank goodness because we were bundled up and warm, we wouldn't have passed for formal. We were seated in the far corner near the dessert display and the bar. Everything looked great and the seats were very comfortable. Our tabled was lightly lit, gave it a romantic feel. Again, perfect! Our waitress, Jennifer J approached, bright smile and glowing personaility. We welcomed us and as first timers went over the menu, offered a couple suggestions for drinks and promptly returned with a Mint Lemonade (OMG it was good). Great recommendation Jennifer. She gave her her personal faves as well as popular menu items. For appetizers, we chose Roasted Beets Labne (a dip of sorts similar to a hummus only more creamy). The way Jennifer described it made us want to try it, and she was on point. It had a little tartness from what I believe was a sour cream mixed with beet. It's tough to explain but try it, definitely won't be disappointed. Oh and get the fresh baked pita, delicious! We also had the Fried Cauliflower, it was so good. Came with a dipping sauce but honestly it didn't even need it, it was bursting with flavor without it. Then the main course, my wife went with a popular item the Spicy Garlic Lemon Chicken. She devoured it, nothing left on her plate, she said it was amazing. I had the Moussaka, a favorite of mine and it did not disappoint. The sauce
