    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.

    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).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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!
