Maybe it's hubs' military background, but the man is all about strategy. His game plan was to…read morefigure out the perfect dinner spot where we could catch an epic Sanibel sunset, then still have enough time to roll over for a hallmark view of the July 4th fireworks. Mission accomplished. Lighthouse Waterfront is huge with a big dining rm on one side and another section closer to the left overlooking the outdoor deck sitting right on the water. If you're chasing sunset vibes, this deck is where it's at. We started with a dozen meaty oysters and a hot crab dip with crispy wontons to dip. For our main plates, hubs ordered the thick-cut bone-in pork chop and loved it while I went with the seasoned grilled swordfish. I had the Dubai Chocolate cocktail and I'll give them props for that pistachio rim and the dark chocolate drizzle.....that Hershey's syrup crap. The only downside was it could've packed a punch. But then again- between my recent trip to Miami/Ft Lauderdale and now Sanibel...I haven't had a drink that would know the shit out me here. No offense. Anyhow, to wrap things up, we shared a slice of key lime pie. That's basically mandatory when you're down here. It was good, but honestly, the real treat was watching that Sanibel sunset. Service was ok- I just wished our young server was more present. On the plus side, when he'd showed up, he made sure to help at any given moment. We finished dinner, headed out to the deck and soaked in every second of the sunset before making our way to catch the fireworks elsewhere.

So very disappointed. This used to be our favorite place to bring out of town guests. Not…read moreanymore. Where to start. 1)Our servers were amazing. 2) Drinks - pathetic. $16.00 for a lime martini that tasted like a melted popsicle and was a total of 6 oz. Tasted no alcohol. 3) crab dip a 3 inch skillet of carb dip with 10 small pita chips. No taste at all and $19.00. 4) shrimp with garlic and butter over linguini - it was basically pho soup. $28.00. 5) and the best of all. Lobster Mac n cheese. It was macaroni with (I kid you not) seafood bisque over top and a small ramekin of Parmesan cheese $50.00. The man playing music (nice island vibe) in the corner was so loud I could not hear my husband across the table. In fact most asked to move to the other side but it was closed off or outside because it was so loud. Did I mention it was 95 degrees. 5 or so parties were seated after us, and while we were not at all in a hurry, every one of them received their meals prior to us and left before we received our food. Our server felt bad so she offered us some bread for the extra wait. (Shouldn't that be standard). We didn't complain and paid the over $150.00 bill plus a nice tip and the 3% charge for using a card. No manager came to ask how the meal was and at this point we were over it. Asked for a take home box and left. I can also tell you the menu was extremely limited. No crab dishes, no scallop dishes? A seafood restaurant not anymore? What happened? New management, owners? And yes we've been there since IAN so can't blame the hurricane. We will only visit Lobster Lady from now on. I sound like I just want to complain but I don't. I know it's off season and don't ever expect perfection. This was worse than horrible. Beware. It's not what it once was. Sadly! Sorry no pictures mostly out of shock but the water feature that used to be so picturesque outside was green algae.

Saturday night approx. 6:30 pm when we walked in for the very first time in this BAR/ GRILL , we…read morewaited inside the door next to a sign saying PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED, so we did for 10 to 15 minutes as the staff hustled around who looked up periodically at my wife & I along with the people who came in after us. however, NO ACKNOLAGEMENT was made to anyone coming in for dinner OUCH #1 ...as time went by, I finally asked one of the staff serving food , is there a host for seating? his answer was!!! WHEN WERE READY WE WILL LET YOU KNOW ! ( OUCH #2 ) so another 10 minutes go by and I look up at the same young man who is now behind the bar serving drinks, he Nods his head and points to a newly open booth I confirm with him if my wife and I should sit there and he nodded YES , great we now have a table. Time goes by we sat there with no drinks , menu or place settings for another 7-10 minutes (OUCH #3). now i notice a staff member with a pencil behind his ear who seemed to be a ''Host'' / server / bartender walks by us 4 or 5 times and looking at us like we had had done something to offend him. now I notice him seating another two couple's WHO CAME IN AFTER US and puts table settings along with menus on the table..... I ASK Him, excuse me can we get some menu's? His unprofessional BAR STYLE Answer was --- IF you would have waited to be seated i would of given them to you!!! OUCH #4 my answer i told him the gentlemen working behind the Bar told me to sit there so he plopped two menu's down and walked away OUCH #5 . NOTE * I'm out to have a good time with my wife, so I Really Restrained myself from telling him what i really thought of him .... bottom line -- it was a waste of my time as WE walked out and will never return .... However, we found a good meal less than a mile down the road at BUSTERS for much less and an efficient friendly staff .
