I wanted a blackened fish sandwich for dinner on a Friday. I attempted Lighthouse in Lake Mary, but…read moreI have never seen it so crowded before. I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled. Also, for a counter service place I had probably as many "how are you doing" checkins as I would have had with a table service place.

The service was friendly and informative. If you're a newbie like me, you'll need to order at the counter first, then take a seat at one of the communal tables. They also have outdoor seating as well as a bar. I ordered fried okra and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. It's been years since I've had fried okra and this side dish did not disappoint! Hubby ordered the fried grouper sandwich and fries. Everything tasty! The food arrived quickly. I'm not 100% positive, but the food seemed to be made from scratch, i.e no pre-frozen items. We enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return. Parking is curbside.

The parking lot is spacious and they have free parking. I really like coming to this restaurant and asking to be seated by the windows. Around 4 to 6 PM on a summer night while you're eating you can look at the view and if you happen to get done early with dinner then you can walk right along the pier and even catch a nice sunset ! The food is really good too. I've been here twice and the two times that I've been here, I've gotten different meals but the waiters are really helpful with helping you decide what is best on the menu! When the waiters really know the menu and suggest items to help you narrow down your selection for me I enjoy that because I am indecisive lol. Anyways, check this place out if you're around, enjoy my pictures attached to this review the 2 separate occasions I've been here and I can't wait to come back!

The jambalaya, their "Jammin on the Bayou," is excellent, packed with flavor and a real taste of Louisiana, and the brisket burger is amazing too, hearty and cooked just right.

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

We ordered the big eats and added another half pound of snow crab legs and a half pound of headless shrimp. We split it in between two adults and one child and it was plenty. I found that the seasoning was a little overly salty and I normally am a salt lover. I even had to remove some of the seasoning off of some of the seafood. But overall it was delicious. It's a bit pricey but we enjoy going out to get a boil at least once a year and this franchise has always been our go to!

The food hall is fun, tables and chairs high tops and stools scattered throughout and The Basin is at the end if you are looking for a drink or two. Fun atmosphere, family feel. My only caution is to being your Stanley, I get why they charge the huge prices for the water and soda but that's just crazy lol.

Recently I had dinner at Lighthouse Seafood Market & Cafe and it was my first time there, but…read moredefinitely not my last. Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table. I had the Blackened Grouper with broccoli and parsley red potatoes. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, super juicy and incredibly fresh. The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal. The service was great, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend checking them out.

My sister started with the clam chowder, which she thought was a little spicy but good. I had a small Caesars salad. For the entree my sister ordered one snow crab cluster which I know for a fact their market price was high, also they don't offer them in any kind of seasoning. Putting Old Bay on them just makes the shell spicy. I ordered the 15 reds, which are peel and eat shrimp. They were great, cooked perfectly. We ordered the hush puppies 3 count, now this was a problem because first they should never be that big and on the oily side to me. Problems I noticed, some of the wait staff is not that friendly also most of the staff serving food without gloves. A young man brought a bowl of food to a customer with his thumb on the rim, gross. This is my major complaint and take away that confirms I won't be back. There are two prices listed on the menu, one if you pay in cash and a higher price if you use a card. That is unacceptable, because some places will state that there will be a percentage up charge , not for every item. The place was somewhat busy when we arrived, but it was a constant flow of traffic, because they also have a seafood market inside to buy your own. I wasn't noisy at all when we went, not sure what it's like later in the evening. My personal takeaway is it's a nice enjoyable place for the locals, but if you're looking flavorful seafood, look further.
