We ate there last month and several times over the summer. Everything was excellent and no paper products were used.

I eat there every 2 or 3 weeks and find it quite satisfactory. Of course, the location is unbeatable.

You can PM to me and I will gladly take that dreadful gift card off your hands. Wife and I have devoured their consistently good shrimp baskets, fish and chips, and frozen piña coladas while watching sunsets and taking lunchtime breaks from browsing along the square. Don’t waste your time there; simply help me enjoy my time there in the holiday spirit! All kidding aside, yes, go there and enjoy a good meal and a relaxing time on the waterfront.

Good lord! What is the deal with eating off paper plates with plastic utensils? It doesn’t diminish the quality of food.

There was a time in history, when eating off paper plates at a restaurant, was considered a luxury.

Fortunately, it only lasted about 5 months and then the Covid nonsense ended. Now folks can eat at restaurants with real plates and silverware, as god intended.

Reading this thread and hearing folks praise the food at the Lighthouse, explains a lot.

We stop up and get a sandwich and fries to go every now and then (with our dog on leash), all have been very tasty.

I can't afford to go back to New England for a hot buttered lobster roll, fresh-caught steamers (little-necks) with broth and clarified butter, whole-belly fried clams, or any other New England seafood. Lighthouse is the closest thing *accessible by golf cart* to it. That and waiting for Cousin's truck to come to an event at the squares so I can get the lobster roll (for $24, for JUST the roll, no fries, no drink, no slaw).

It's sort of like getting a pizza around here. Our options are limited and the quality can't be matched, so we have to decide to either get the least offensive available, or do without entirely.

So far, my only REAL disappointment with Lighthouse so far has been that they don't make their own tartar sauce - it's Kraft single-serve cups, and they charge extra for a second.

Given the location and photos taken while watching the sunset at the Lighthouse restaurant the food quality is hardly a serious issue. Having said that, when you pay the tab how can you make a serious complaint about the food or the service. It’s all good.

Ate there recently, food was good. Service was slow as was delivery of food but being retired and having nothing else to do I enjoyed my time with company and the view.
