    Salmon Ponzu Roll
    Terry S.

    Had a really nice dinner at Parker's Lighthouse. The waterfront setting is definitely one of the highlights--great views, relaxed atmosphere, and a perfect spot for a date night in Long Beach. We tried the seafood skewers with grilled vegetables and the sushi roll topped with salmon. Everything was fresh, nicely presented, and flavorful. The seafood was cooked well, and the sushi was especially good. Service was friendly and the overall experience was enjoyable. A few small things kept it from being a full 5 stars, but I'd definitely come back. Great location, good seafood, and beautiful views of the harbor.

    I love dining here. This time we took advantage of happy hour (HH) on the patio and it was perfect. Starting with a view that's enjoyable as we waited for sunset. Then ordering drinks as we celebrated a friends birthday. Next was ordering food of which we opted to share several dishes to try as much as we could. Truly everything was enjoyable. Of course, ending the evening off with a little dessert. The extensive happy hour menu was wonderful. The variety of options is one of the best around. They do validate parking so it's perfect for a light bite post workday. I have dined in off the regular menu and the food was great. Based on so many options available, HH is ideal if schedule works.

    Mango mojito- pieces of mango were welcomed

    Excellent location, view was great on a clear and pleasant temperature. We sat outside, our waitress was courteous and helpful. One of our dishes was mistaken and immediately was made right. No problem. Food was delicious and plenty. Mango margarita perfect. All was fantastic!

    We had friends from San Jose area visiting so wanted to go somewhere with a view but not too touristy. We sat on the patio with two umbrellas to block the scorching sun. The food was good & setvice was excellent. We enjoyed everything we ordered: clam steamer karaage chicken wrap, hamburger, salad, combo seafood plate, sweet potato fries, clam chowder, BLT sandwich, etc. Only improvement we may suggest is for the karaage chicken to be a little bit crisper. Otherwise, we were happy with the food. They validate parking for up to two hours. We tought we had time left over but the parking attendant told us we owed $2.40 which didn't make sense. We pointed out the time on the parking stub but the attendant couldn't speak English & unable to communicate with us. So we just paid and left but they should look into it (customers shouldn't have to pay for parking if the restaurant validates upto two hours - regardless of the fee amount. It leaves a negative impression as you leave).

    Beyond DELICIOUS with an incredible view!! The Mango Mojitos are phenomenal!

    The food is beyond phenomenal and the Mango Mojitos are incredible. Service is fantastic and you cannot find a better spot on the water!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I came here on my birthday for lunch and it was fabulous. Our server was awesome and the food was delicious but the best part was the view. You can't beat the views from dining area and we were seated so we could see the lighthouse and the Queen Mary. They even threw in a free gluten free dessert because it was my birthday. I will definitely be coming back again.

    1st time here and we enjoyed our dinner The food was very tasty and delicious. All fresh seafood all made to order. The crab cake dip was spot on so good. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Shout out to Nicole G our server. Love the ambiance for sure the view and the decor and the vibe. Def coming back here when we are in the area.

    Parkers' Lighthouse Reviews in Other Languages

    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.

But our server... all we could say was Steve, Steve, Steve!!!! He took the cake! Talk about impeccable service and making you feel genuinely welcomed--that's an understatement. This was my second time here, and I've gotta say, I think this has officially become one of my all-time favorites. Downtown Long Beach has always had such a fun, foodie-filled atmosphere. I know some restaurants are struggling, but it's because they didn't have the same atmosphere & service. The food is great, but what really stands out to me are the PEOPLE. Even the servers who weren't serving our table intentionally, smiled, and said hello as they passed. I even remembered one of the servers from my last visit and her sister because they both have some of the most inviting personalities ever. That says a lot about the culture of a restaurant. We also had the opportunity to meet the new GM, which was another nice touch. Great food. Great ambience. GREAT people. And Steve,,,you're the best! 10/10. We'll definitely be back. Oh and to little sisters-- remember that big sister's rule.

    A New Job, A New Milestone & A Chance to Rewrite the Narrative…read more My best friend and I have a tradition of celebrating new jobs with a nice dinner. Since this was her new job and a major milestone, I let her choose the restaurant. She had visited Bo-Beau last year but didn't get the full experience, so this was her chance to rewrite the narrative. And it was truly night and day. I researched the restaurant beforehand and was excited to see that Bo-Beau is part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, which I mostly associate with San Diego and South Orange County. After this experience, I really hope they're here to stay. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating her new job, and for once, the restaurant actually read the note and acknowledged it. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was excellent. The hostess welcomed us downstairs, another staff member greeted us when we reached the rooftop, and our server quickly followed up. Then came the surprise: complimentary champagne for both of us. It was such a thoughtful gesture, especially because those little celebratory touches seem to be increasingly rare. Our server was also patient with our questions and attentive throughout the evening without being intrusive. We spent about 2.5 hours enjoying dinner and catching up over: Baked Brie Brussels Sprouts Steak Frites Everything was flavorful, and the entire experience felt relaxed, peaceful, and worth the price point. The food was great, but the hospitality is what earned the 5 stars for me. Real hospitality is paying attention to the guest, recognizing the occasion, and making people feel genuinely welcomed. My best friend got the celebration she wanted -- and a much better Bo-Beau experience this time around. Will definitely be returning!
