still waiting on the correct beverage from 45 minutes ago. ice cold rice ice cold veggie very poor experience very sad had heard great things about this place. The trainer that was working was doing great with her trainee, we wish we would have sat in that section to have someone talk to us more than once and be reminded countless times for a drink. ordered dessert 20+ minutes ago. the place was not busy at all at 4pm when we were seated and didn’t have to wait. we were then charged extra on our bill after Jordan brought the initial one.

Lighthouse's gig is to emulate a New England chowder house. It does a great job of it. Overlooking Lake Sumter, this restaurant specializes in seafood; scallops, shrimp, mollusks, crab, lobster, and fish. This was my second visit, and I had the Fish & Chips lunch special for $6.99. Very tender fish, perfectly crusted, with just enough fries. Some places overdo the fries and you end up leaving the place feeling bloated because you keep picking on them til they're gone. Lighthouse wants you to leave full, not bloated, and they do it well. My only criticism about the dish was the tartar sauce. It's Ken's brand, comes in a single-serve pack that you have to peel the top off. They should make their own.The service was very good, polite, cheerful, with a much better "sense of urgency" than you see in similar restaurants in the area.My first visit was several months ago, and the littleneck steamers were delicious. I wish the prices were lower for their dinner menu; if they raised the lunch specials by $2 per plate, they could probably get away with taking a couple of their regular dinner menu items and reducing the price of them a couple days a week on an alternating basis. Unfortunately, this is typical of The Villages, where good food is priced as if it was gourmet food. Lighthouse is good food. It's not foodie food. I'm glad for that, I like just good old fashioned New England chowder house food, and miss it like crazy down in The Villages. But at these prices, it's going to be only 2-3 times a year treat for anything other than the lunch special fish and chips, rather than the once a month whole-belly clams up north.

The service was good and the food was delicious. The indoor dining was quite loud due to a large group at the bar. We opted to sit indoors due to the 25 minute wait for outdoor seating. The views are nice overlooking a lake. The parking lot was full but there are additional parking lots nearby. I would recommend this restaurant.
Nice! A little skimpy on the specials!Parking: Free!

If you’re looking for great seafood and the best water front view in The Villages this is the spot to go. We visited on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm and it was busy to say the least. The manager Crystal went above and beyond to accommodate everyone. Highly recommend eating here and thank you Crystal for the amazing service!
