    Fast and friendly service. Food was fresh but came out fast. I really enjoyed the jam. Have been coming to Sanibel for many years but have never tried Lighthouse Cafe before. New location easy to reach from anywhere in island. Will be back

    The service was kinda slow but they were really busy. The food was great and the Bloody Mary made everything worth the wait. Would return again.

    I think the reason I had never been there before is we didn't venture much to the east side of the island.

    As good as it gets, & our best meal & drinks on the island!…read more We had expert server Nick & were so happy with him! He was extremely personable, fun, & sooo efficient at his job! He treated us like family, & took such good care of us. We started with cocktails: Miami Vice, Pina Colada, & a Pain Killer at Nicks suggestion. They were all delicious. Next up shared appetizers of smoked fish dip & crab cakes. I usually dislike crab cakes, but I wanted to eat all of them. The smoked fish dip was delicious too & whoever thought of frying the saltines is a genius! For our meals we each got a lunch for dinner platter which was plenty of food with the accompanying house made chips & super ripe fruit. Two of us got the coconut shrimp. They were large, fresh & delicious, very heavy on the batter. The pineapple dipping sauce was perfect with them. Two in our party got salmon & said it was excellent. They ate every bite of it. One of us devoured his lobster roll with great enjoyment. The only non- seafood eater had what he described as a really good burger. He's like Mikey from Life cereal, he hates everything...so that's very high praise for the burger. For dessert we shared both the chocolate cake & key lime pie. I usually don't like Key Lime pie because it's almost always too sweet. But theirs is amazing. Dense, creamy & very tangy, with grated lime zest all throughout the pie. The cake was delicious too. There wasn't a bite of anything left. The ambience is great. Very nautical with lovely views. The exterior is very pretty, & inside it is cozy, casual & approachable. The a/c works really well too. The servers were all cheerful & the other diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was such a great overall experience. Highly recommend!

    Great marina setting for this top notch seafood restaurant on Sanibel Island…read more You won't regret if you choose any of the fresh seafood entrees on the menu including either Mahi-Mahi or Grouper. I like that you can also order from the lunch menu while adding an appetizer to enjoy for dinner. Ample parking adjacent to the restaurant is plentiful and convenient.

    The wait took about an hour before we got seated and I was with a group of 5 others. The outside…read morewas sea vibes with sculptures everywhere. And in the inside there was wood everywhere and the tables were beautiful. The clam marinara was amazing stuffed myself full. Calamari was delicious. The people were very nice and helpful. Overall had a good time.

    We came for lunch just before any rush. We were seated right away…read more I was happy to see that they're "back" and reopened. We came here many years ago and enjoyed their food. The place is casual, rustic, and come as you are. Got our drinks pdq. We decided to share a combo pot. But after some soup. Got the conch chowder. It came in a large, pretty plastic conch "shell". It was slightly spicy, but not much. In fact, there's hot sauces on the table if you need more heat. There was a nice amount of ground conch pieces in a tasty tomato based broth. It was big enough to share, btw. Then we got their combo steamed pot -- 1 dozen clams and 1 dozen oysters. This takes awhile to cook as we knew it would. So if you get one of these, order soup or an app while you're waiting. The clams are the cedar key ones. Small but tasty. We didn't use the melted butter, but asked for cocktail sauce instead. The oysters -- which you have to shuck with the provided knives -- were wonderful! I'd probably get all oysters next time. In the bottom of the pot are celery and onions which you can also eat. So glad we got to come here and enjoy lunch. We will be back next time on island.
