The location is interesting and definitely a bit sketchy but I'm a Brooklyn girl so I was down for the adventure. The seafood is well seasoned and the Mac and cheese is pretty good. I wasn't impressed with the macaroni salad and sweet potatoes.
I found Lighthouse on Yelp and was glad it was so nearby. I was hungry.
Seems like a fairly new business, still getting their flow in order. The staff was friendly and the top chef has an outgoing personality as he is confident you will love his food! Made the visit fun.
I had the Fish/Shrimp combo with Mac & Cheese and Greens then a slice of Red Velvet Cake. I enjoyed it all.
concerns: my fish could've been fried a lil harder (guess I can simply request that next time) and the Mac recipe may need a revamping (more cheese & flavor)
Will I return? Yep. There's plenty more on their menu I wanna try.
oh and that cake. Delish
The light house is a small seafood spot in Harlem. This a fairly new business, about a year old. Not only is it a restaurant but they also a seafood market where you can purchase all kinds of shrimp,fish, lobster and crab.
The food here is very good. I got the fish and shrimp dinner. For $18 you get a very generous portion of fish, about 5-6 medium size shrimp and two sides. The fish and shrimp were seasoned perfectly. They Had a Cajun flavor to them but not too salty. For my sides I chose the seasoned fries and the collard greens. The fries seem to be hand cut and are nothing like the freezer fries you get at most fish spots. The collard greens were decent but not great. They were cooked perfectly and were flavorful but they were more vinegary than I prefer. While here I noticed they offer seafood linguini and also steamed and broiled seafood. All of these items looked excellent! I wanted to try it all. I can tell they have some high level cooks in there that really know how to chef up some seafood.
Tip: don't bother coming here to dine in. Grab your food and get the hell out of the way. This place is crowded!
Light House earns 4 stars from me. The food I tasted was delicious and the serving was more than filling. They can certainly improve in the ordering process and how they manage the line. It was like a free for all with people trying to get the attention of the person taking the order. I judge then too much about that because the place was very crowded and they did get the food out fast. I will certainly be back to try the linguini amount other menu items and could see myself comeback often for a quick seafood fix.
Disappointed to say the least.
1. Thought it was a sit in after viewing the Instagram page for months and drooling at the food but it was only a fish market where you can order food to go.
2.One of the employees got fired in front of all the customers.
If i were to ever step foot back in here i guess i would do the option where they pick the seafood and then cook it.
This review is based on a visit in 2015.
Extremely quick and absolutely fresh offerings. They also sell fresh, raw fish although I have not tried this aspect of the business first hand.
Placed my order of the "Patrick Ewing" special (fish and shrimp with hand cut fries) and watched them prepare my food within minutes. I received my meal and had it packaged to go right out of the fryer. Based on this experience I would definitely return.
Took my order to go. Was offered condimens but declined to experience true flavors.
Friendly staff and pretty clean facilities. Definite plus was the lack of "fishy" odors.
Extremely aggravating experience here! Stay away! Ugh and I was so excited to finally try this fish spot because I've had it bookmarked for a while. But O M G!! I Literally waited here for 55 minutes to get crab linguini Alfredo, sautéed shrimp & steamed crab legs!! For a fish spot that's also take out this is absurd.
It gets worse… After waiting for over 35 minutes for my order the lady calls my number and I thought that finally my food was ready and she proceeds to tell me that they do not have any linguini!!! No linguini???? Sooo you didn't make my food after 40 minutes or realize that upon ordering that you had absolutely no pasta left!! PISSED!
Waited another 10-15 for everything to cook and wasn't compensated for the wait or even acknowledged with some form of an apology or remorse for the inconvenience and lack of professionalism.
I should've went to El Puerto! Don't make the same mistake I did. Smh
