The service and food were both excellent. We had a wonderful evening as a family The shellfish dishes and the raw oysters were both fresh and delicious.

Rainbow roll

The view is really nice and the food is actually good for a touristy spot. It gets kinda cold on the patio if it's not the summer. The breeze is very strong. Dress accordingly. The cheese bread here is very rich and delicious. They have a crazy thick topping on it full of mayo and cheese. Not a calorie deficit item. The calamari is always good, the sushi is consistently decent. They have a dedicated sushi chef. Clam chowder is solid and so are the steamed clams. We've been going here a long time and the food is consistently good. Happy hour has good prices. If you are gonna go all out the menu is pricey. We have before and prefer to go for happy hour. It's a good spot for a nice date or something special.

I visit this weekend with some friends . I needed to have some good views and food ! The service was speedy and I had the sweetest waitress . I took one star off because the fishbowl drink was not in a fishbowl and seemed a bit watered down . The lobster BLT was really fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well as my sushi roll.

A great dinner with a great view! The Cioppino was very good. They have a nice selection of fresh seafood. The service was very attentive and friendly. It's a bit pricey, but it's expected since it's right on the water with views of the lighthouse and Queen Mary. It's great for special occasions or to take out of town visitors.

We went here for Father's Day. With reservations seems to be organized sitting us outdoors with lout the hassle of waiting. The everything we order was well prepared and delicious. I ordered a dozen of oysters but surprisingly they were very small ($49). You should ask what type of oyster to give an idea what you're ordering. Overall, the food and service were great. I would go back and experience the evening atmosphere. I'm sure it must be pretty.

Ambience: 15/10 Service: 10:10 Food: 10/10 Wait time: 10/10 I was here celebrating a graduation and the ambience is absolutely perfect right on the water. There were seating options both inside and outside which I absolutely loved and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. My absolute favorite was the warm butter cake and I truly enjoyed my shrimp cocktail nice huge jumbo shrimp. The service was great and the drink menu is pretty extensive. Well I did not have a cocktail. One of my family members enjoyed their version of a bloody Mary OMG. I think what I like about this place most is that if you want to have an upscale experience, you totally can. However, if you're not in the mood for all the extras and you just want to go dine somewhere nice this fits the criteria also. I'm literally trying to figure out a reason to go back now.

Reserved for a pre-Mother's day celebration the night before. Service was great-- friendly front staff and attentive server. Our server was able to recommend us the best type of shucked oysters to pick that were "beginner-friendly." We went with the East coast derived oysters, and they were actually really good with no fishy aftertaste. Appetizers and entrees didn't take too long to come out-- around 15-20 minutes for all to arrive at the same time. I actually like their bread they offer as a courtesy because it had a hard, thick outer shell but was soft in the inside. Their butter is also heavenly, loved that it was sweet! Entrees were decent-- I got the scallops and they were soft and quite delectable. Prices range anywhere from around $30-$75 for their entrees, which I understand comes from the freshness of the seafood and that it is a fine dining restaurant. Ambiance definitely sets a low-lit vibe that would be best for date nights. Kind of hard to see the menu if you don't place the little table lamp in the middle of the table. But again, understand it's probably for the fine dining aspect. Do wish we were able to sit outside to get the nice breeze and view, so maybe next time!

Be ready for a spendy meal. We had a large group of 16 for lunch. It was very nice inside. Parking with validation was $10.40. I had the ahi tuna sandwich and eel sashimi. Eel is always good. The ahi seemed overcooked. He had the Chilean sea bass which he loved. We all shared oysters, calamari, garlic cheese bread(SO GOOD). I had a mango mojito which was delish even though the mangos in it were a bit under ripe. $1227.00 was our bill! They tacked on 18%. So his tip was $169!

Haven't been back here for a long while. The 1st time was here was for my HS prom's dinner back in the 80s and it's still standing and went back several time afterwards. Parking is fine with private paid parking lot (they do validating for it) or you can find paid or sometime free street parking or meter parking spaces. The place is overlooking the water and quite a view, especially during sunset. Spacious, nice, clean restaurant with great vibe. Services can be 80% hit and 20% can be miss. Most foods here are good but off the prices, so so, but you're most likely paying for the views and the location more likely. I really enjoyed the fresh oysters, calamari and fish & chip...well battered and well cooked. But overall, it a good place to hangout for sure.

Garlic bread
Paula P.

I was really disappointed here. The food was okay, they told me a few minutes after ordering that they didn't have what I wanted and then the waiter hovered until I picked something new and I hadn't thought of a backup option and he seemed annoyed. They also took away our appetizer plates while there was still food on them and never asked if we wanted them cleared. Filled up half the table with water and then didn't come back to fill up the rest for 16 minutes.

Guys Grilling

While on a staycation in Long Beach, my wife and I found ourselves strolling all over The Pike area. We stumbled upon the Parker's Lighthouse and decided to pop in for a quick snack. We orderd a couple cocktails and some appetizers. I had an Old Fashion my wife went with a Pomegranate Basil Smash. For the appetizer we went with the Karage Chicken Lettuce Wrap, Crispy Calamari, and The Queens Roll. The service little slow, but thankfully we weren't in a hurry. Although we sat in the bar area, it seems to be a kool place for a date. There are bunch of window seats with ocean views that could set the vibe. The Lettuce wraps were our least favorite due to the lack of flavor. You most definitely will need to use the sauce it comes with. The sushi and the calamari were wonderful. The sushi was nice and fresh, and the Calamari was crispy and flavorful. The cocktails hit the spot. Overall its a good spot for drinks and light bites.

We had a great time...the view deserves all the stars. The service was great and our server was very kind to the kiddos and indulged them the whole time. The kids menu was a hit with our little ones, who enjoyed popcorn shrimp and a kids size fish and chips. We also shared a mixed grilled plate that was serviced with skewers and the fish of the day. It was a good and healthy plate. We also ordered the tollhouse pie which hit the dessert spot, but had a lot of nuts. All of the pier spots are clearly for the views. The food was good, but not the star of the show.

Broccoli
Alex Z.

Great service, our waitress was super attentive. The food was good, we got the broccoli, burrata, seafood linguine, and strawberry salad. I wish the toast for the burrata wasn't so soggy. We came here for our second date so we came here for our anniversary this year :)

Ask the Community - Parkers' Lighthouse

Is there valet parking or nearby parking lot?

Yes, there is nearby parking. It is pretty expensive. You have to pull a ticket. Restaurant will validate ticket to reduce cost but it isn’t free.

Thinking about my attire. Is shorts and flip flops to casual for this place?

You will be fine we were very casual when we went!

Do they also serve sushi?

Yes, they have a small sushi menu

Are dogs allowed at outdoor seating? A small dog inside doggie carriage? Also, any buffet brunch?

They don't offer a buffet brunch and your dog should be fine.

Do you serve kids menu?

Yes

How's the parking situation? Do they have their own parking lot/structure, valet?

There is a general lot for all the shops/restaurants in the area. With validation parking is $10 for a couple hours. It's not a big lot either. You may take a few laps during peak hours.

Is Thanksgiving menu limited to fixed price three course menu?

Yes

Is sit down now available?

Yes, both inside and outside.

Is the patio dog friendly?

Is the menu still the same as pre covid? I know some restaurants have changed to a more limited menu..

Michelle, I dined on their opening weekend and there were no special menus. The options were quite extensive. And of course as in the past, the food was impeccable.

What's the dress code here...casual, semiformal, formal?

I visited just recently when they reopened and the dress code is casual. The staff was wonderful and not stuffy at all.

Will they have a Thanksgiving brunch?

Brunch buffet is only served twice a year. Easter and Mothers Day.

Does anyone know what the corkage fee is here? Thanks

$25

Can you make reservations?

Yes, you can make reservations. The outside patio is nice if it's not chilly.

Do you guys have brunch? Endless Mimosas? If so can I have pricing.

Yes you can make reservations on line

Where is the happy hour? Are there still mice views at the bar?

I would call for the happy hours. And the best view is going to be the outside seating. The bar is inside.

If I wanted to sit outside and have a view of the queen mary and the water, where would I request to be seated?

Just ask to be seated on the patio facing the Queen Mary.

I really wanted to love this place. The vibe was fantastic...great music, a stylish ambiance, and…read morean impressive selection of specialty craft cocktails. It's clear the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into making their cocktails the centerpiece of the experience. That said, the execution didn't live up to the concept. The menu appears to rotate regularly, and while the drinks were certainly unique, most of the cocktails we tried were hit or miss. At roughly $22 per drink, I expected more balance and refinement. One cocktail started with flavors reminiscent of an Old Fashioned, but after the initial sip, the combination of bitters and fruit syrups created an unpleasant cough syrup like finish. We tried a mocktail as well, and it was mostly ice and soda water, with what seemed like a collection of syrups doing most of the heavy lifting. The drinks were creative, but many of the flavor profiles felt disjointed rather than intentional. The biggest issue, however, was the bar service and sanitation practices. I watched a bartender place a cucumber garnish into a glass using his bare hands, touching the entire garnish in the process. He then continued to take credit cards, cash, and other items before stuffing ice into additional drinks with his bare hands. Whether or not this technically violates health code standards, it certainly wasn't appetizing to watch and left a poor impression. Parking is another challenge. There is no dedicated parking, and unless you get lucky, expect to park several blocks away and walk. Overall, the atmosphere is a lot of fun and the cocktail menu is ambitious, but the drinks didn't justify the price point, and the sanitation concerns were hard to overlook. I wouldn't rush back, especially given the cost and parking difficulties.

We stopped by late Saturday night and were able to snag an immediate walk-in at the bar at Hao Peng You, which is the intimate speakeasy portion of Midnight Oil. The decor definitely reminded me of my grandparents' house in Taiwan, with vintage, ornate wooden chairs, dragon/lion statue carvings, and even a historic century old marital bed that had been repurposed into a booth. The drinks were also VERY unique, with my favorite being Hua sheng (literally meaning peanut), which was crafted from a nostalgic childhood peanut milk drink. All our cocktails were crafted very well, to the point where I thought they were a bit on the lighter side since I couldn't really taste the alcohol. This section does get really busy though and only had one bartender who is making/serving drinks and taking orders, so do expect a bit of a wait. Overall, highly recommend checking out this vibey vintage Taiwanese-inspired speakeasy (that my inner history nerd was so excited about), and I'll definitely be back to try their food items as well as their two other bar/restaurant concepts!

We arrived and there were a few parties leaving, we walked to the bar area and the two servers were occupied with other guests, so we patiently waited. Finally one of them approached us and shared the menu, another gentleman came to the bar and he was quickly greeted with a hello and our same server immediately shared the menu. The gentleman politely said, these ladies were here first please take their order first, which the server did but was not so happy about. To our surprise the server still prepared his drinks first. The gentleman very surprised apologized since he knew we were there before him. With our drinks in hand we found a table with some empty seats. The table side where we sat had a sprite glass bottle and a glass that hadn't been picked up since the last party left. We moved it a side to set our drinks and finally enjoy our conversation. A different server came to the table and asked the gentleman next to us to get his empty glass and she completely ignored our side. She did another round and I finally asked her to pick up the bottle that was left by another party before us. I asked her for the menu again, she brought it but she did say that I had go back up to the bar to order any additional drinks. We decided to not order a second round and head up to the terrace.

Not super attentive service considering there were only a few parties at the bar, but our bartender (woman with long wavy hair) was kind and made delish drinks. The coconut shrimp was great too.

We parked in the multi-story parking garage behind Hamburger Mary's. Secret Island is a little over a block away. You can make reservations on OpenTable. It has a bit of a speakeasy entrance, as it is not plainly marked. Look for the staircase going down with greenery around it and the Secret Island sign downstairs. Go right at the bottom of the stairs and there is a little walkway where you see a very cool tiki display. It you stay there long enough, the lights will flash and you will hear thunder. Walk a little further and go through the door to enter. I was blown away by the atmosphere and build. Kudos to Bamboo Ben! It is dimly lit with a ton of cave wall, bamboo, thatch, netting, tiki lights, floats, skulls, tikis, and other décor. The bar is loaded with bottles and looks great with dark blue and green backlighting. The bar top is wood with deep cutouts that are filled with clear epoxy. The booths in the main dining area are little tiki huts and even have clouds overhead. There was great tiki music playing the whole time. A few times an hour a thunderstorm hits. The lights dim, lightning flashes with thunder sound effects, and red lights illuminate cracks in the floor that looks like lava veins. There is also a photo-op "Pele's Throne" which is a big lava rock surrounded chair. We sat at the bar and had the coconut shrimp appetizer ($12). The shrimp were breaded and cooked well, and had a coconut sprinkle on top. The spicy dipping sauce complemented the shrimp well. I started out with the Drunken Monkey (Makers Mark 46, Jamaican rum, banana liqueur, cinnamon, allspice, Angostura bitters, normally $19, $17 during happy hour). It was somewhat bourbon forward with a little funk from the Jamaican rum. I definitely got the cinnamon notes with a little banana and allspice in the background. She started out with the El Capitan Hook (Del Maguey mezcal, pineapple, banana liqueur, Luxardo cherry liqueur, lime, $17, $15 during happy hour). This was smoke forward with light pineapple and banana flavor. I had the Hula burger ($18) which was very good with a lot of different flavors from the various toppings. It came with a decent amount of fries, and was a filling plate. She had the pineapple bowl fried rice and added with BBQ pork ($17 + $5 for pork add-on). It is served in half of a scooped out pineapple and had a good amount of rice with pork and green onions on top. It had a good mix of teriyaki sauce on the rice and BBQ sauce on the pork. Next, I had the Rum Runner (coconut and blended dark rums, banana liqueur, raspberry, grenadine, pineapple, orange, lime, $18, $15 during happy hour). It was very pineapple and coconut forward which overpowered all of the other ingredients. She also had the Let That ManGo (white rhum agricole, coconut, mango, lemon, $18, $16 during happy hour). The primary flavors here were mango with some grassiness from the agricole. We were here from about 6pm to 8pm on a Wednesday night and it was pretty dead with only a few other people in the place the whole time. They do have a stage in the back with live music acts, so it is probably busier when there is entertainment and on weekends. Our first bartender was Alex who was nice but we barely talked with him. Manager Pedro took over the bartender duties later on and we had a great time chatting with him. Service was great from both of them. The drinks are a few dollars above average, but if you come during happy hour, the drinks are several dollars off. Happy hour is currently all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday, and Thursday through Saturday from 5pm to 8pm. The food was good, the drinks were ok to good, and the atmosphere was great. Normally, this would probably be a one and done, but I really liked the build and would like to come back when it is busier, maybe on a weekend.
