Destination seafood spot with stunning bay views and a popular (pricey) Sunday brunch; food is good but inconsistent, service usually warm, and a 5% surcharge plus strict seating rules frustrate some guests.
Tom Ham's Lighthouse delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by breathtaking waterfront views and personable, attentive service that guests consistently praise. Strong raw bar execution and standout mains like bouillabaisse and short ribs compete with the area's better seafood restaurants, but quality swings in brunch seafood and paella prevent grade A territory. The experience excels as a scenic celebration spot with reliable service; less so as a culinary destination.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (many mains $30+; steak $54) and a 5% surcharge applies
