Vibrant Williamsburg spot with creative Mediterranean-leaning plates, standout happy hour oysters, and warm hospitality; great flavors but small portions, noise, and recurring oyster safety complaints require caution.
Lighthouse delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by creative Mediterranean dishes and warm, attentive service that builds loyalty. However, recent oyster-related illness reports and inconsistent execution on steak and service timing prevent a higher grade. The lively, welcoming room excels at happy hour value but feels cramped during peak service, making it a worthwhile destination for mezze and shawarma rather than a premier dining establishment.
One caveat: Several recent reviews cite oyster-related illness; consider cooked items or ask staff about sourcing that day
