This place not only has great food and drinks but more importantly the people are very nice! I come here to relax and enjoy myself and i can say truely that the Lighthouse is the best bar/ restaraunt ive ever been too!
Service and drinks were actually quite good, which made this even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the food was almost inedible. Everything tasted off, and we left genuinely worried we might get sick. It strongly seemed like the fryer oil was old or not properly maintained, which ruined the meal entirely. It’s a shame, because the staff did their part but the kitchen seriously dropped the ball. I won’t be returning for food unless there’s a major improvement.
Absolutely amazing restaurant. I went with two other people and every single dish we all ate was fantastic and full of flavour. Clearly homemade food made with fresh ingredients. The staff were also attentive and friendly. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
The food overall was good, not exceptional, but definitely enjoyable. While our main server, a fellow South Asian woman, was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very welcomed, we unfortunately had a disappointing interaction with another server. We were waiting to place our mains and politely asked a nearby server (who wasn’t ours) if she could take our order or assist us. Her response was unexpectedly abrupt and dismissive, simply stating that she wasn’t our server. It wasn’t about whether she could take our order, it was more about the tone and the lack of courtesy in how it was communicated. A more thoughtful or helpful approach, like offering to notify our server, would have made a big difference. As patrons, especially in a city as diverse as Toronto, we expect to be treated with equal respect, regardless of background. That interaction felt alienating and left a sour note on an otherwise pleasant experience. That said, other members of the team (including our server) were professional, warm, and attentive, which we truly appreciated. I hope this feedback helps the restaurant continue to offer a welcoming and inclusive experience for all guests.
Overall experience was fine. There was a lack of detail in the menu that should be changed, a charge for bacon/ sausage was listed as "extra". Specifically there was a lack of ingredients listed, for example the goat and spinach omelette is served with peppers and mushrooms yet it is not listed as so. I also have a fruit allergy and plates are served with fruit without being mentioned in the menu. Staff were accommodating and pleasant though
My friend and I ordered Mussels in a white wine sauce. I also had the Caesar salad while my friend had the corn chowder soup. The "sauce" for the mussels was a very bland vegetable soup taste. While tasting the soupy sauce, there were several broken shells that I didn't enjoy bitting into. The Caesar salad flavour profile was completely off - it tasted sweet instead of a garlic, cheesy, oil base. My friend said the soup just tasted like a thin vegetable base, not a hearty chowder at all. Needless to say, we didn't finish our meals. We will definitely not be returning.
Wow, would not recommend. The food quality was very low, everything tasting as if it came from the Costco frozen food selection (which would be awesome if I was paying Costco prices). The jumbo shrimp was a bit over fried and the accompanying sauce tasted like it was from a jar. The tikka chicken wrap was overly salty; I knew it was going to be served on Naan, but was still expecting something resembling a wrap (with more than runny curry in it). We paid extra for sweet potato fries; got a very small portion that were also over fried and too chunky. One of the most unenjoyable meals experienced in a long time. Note: The server was great; when she saw how much we left behind, she proactively offered a (small) discount. However, it was not enough to save the meal, nor was the patio's atmosphere.
