The Lighthouse is bright, airy and warm all at the same time. I visited the cafe on a Friday…read moremorning right before 9 am, and the space was still fairly empty. There were plenty of tables by the windows looking out at the willow trees and I was happy to snag a spot in the sun. Even though the parking lot right outside was full, there were plenty of spaces in the big lot across the street. I will note that the large lot was completely full by the time I left at 11 am though. I ordered an iced chai latte with oatmilk ($7 after tax) and I thought it was so sweet that the server brought my drink when it was ready. I also appreciate when cafes don't charge extra for alternative milks. The WiFi was fast and easy to connect to, with no password like other folks mentioned. Although the drink was nothing extraordinary, I was happy to have such a pleasant space to work in. I would definitely come back to do remote work if I ever needed a space that is reliable and comfortable.

Parking is quite limited but there is a huge parking lot across that's free. The restroom for women was very clean and beautiful. The doors for the restroom were fully closed with no space for somebody to take a peek. They also have a basket full of free tampons and pads (even pads meant for a heavy period), which was very thoughtful of them to add! There's also a lot of seats so you don't have to worry about that. Most tables came with a plug in on the floor but I found that the tables near the big window didn't have one. Maybe it was just mine though. I ordered a hot chocolate w almond milk and 2 shots which came out to be $10.16. It tasted very standard and not good at all. I don't think it's worth the price since the drink was very mediocre. Service is great though! It started to get busy around 11pm for their lunch menu I believe. There's one area meant for a large group of people to dine. It'd be a great space for meetings or just a large gathering. I think I also saw a table at the back near the restrooms that can be used but I'm not too sure. Overall, good studying place with its amazing natural lighting and pretty weeping willows to look at!

The interior was a bit dark and intimate, although interestingly, my photo makes it appear much brighter than it actually was. *** O U R P I C K S *** PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP SANDWICH ~ I chose this sandwich since I just wanted a small bite to eat. The French dip was tasty, but because the meat was cooked medium rare, it was a bit chewy in places, so a knife definitely came in handy. I only ate half and was satisfied. The sourdough bread had a nice chew, although I usually prefer my rolls toasted. As a leftover sandwich, though, I'm glad it wasn't toasted, it would have made the bread too hard. 4/5 STEAK SANDWICH ~ My partner decided to try the steak sandwich. He said it was just okay and felt he should have gotten the prime rib French dip instead. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested, but it was pretty bland and could have used more seasoning. It came with tomatoes, lettuce, and onions to dress it up. He also opted for the garlic fries instead of regular fries. The fries were tasty with the added garlic garnish, although they could have been crispier. 3/5 HOT LINKS SANDWICH ~ Our friend ordered this one. I guess it was okay, but honestly, it's not something that takes much culinary skill if the hot links are store-bought. That's my assumption, anyway, since I don't think the links were made in-house. 3.5/5 HOUSE SALAD ~ As I recall, the salad was a spring mix with cabbage, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and red onions. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo. It was a pretty typical salad and nothing particularly special. 3/5 We all chose sandwiches even though it was dinner time. Since two of us wanted a salad instead of fries, the server or chef decided to give us one large bowl of salad to share. We appreciated the gesture, although we felt we should have received separate portions. I was told by our friend that the prime rib entrée is a popular choice among those who frequent this spot. IMO, the food is about 3.5 stars overall.

We asked what he would recommend... he said the Chicken Fried Steak ... hands down. So we both order that. Chicken fried steak, 2 eggs, hashbrowns and 2 slices of toast $20.00 OK first of all the chicken fried steak came out crispy and wonderfully deep fried, it was smothered in country gravy (I think it was sausage). Great flavor... brought back memories of me traveling in the South. The eggs were perfectly... I threw it on top of the crispy hashbrowns (its shredded potatoes, not chunks). i added a little Chula and broke the yolks to cover the potatoes. There is a single, gender neutral bathroom at the back. Its clean, well stocked and spacious. The only negative was the no touch paper dispense was out of order and they had towels in plastic box on the sink counter.

This was my second time coming here, and unfortunately this experience wasn't as good as the first…read more The line management was bad. There were plenty of empty tables, but no one was really taking orders, so we ended up waiting around 30 minutes when it should not have taken that long. Also, the young lady at the cash register let someone who was already eating cut the line just to order more food. Everyone waiting seemed annoyed, but no one said anything. The service once you're seated isn't the best either. The workers don't really come around to check on you, so if you need water or anything else, you pretty much have to flag someone down. Even for to-go boxes, napkins, etc., you have to get up and grab them yourself from the counters. It's not a huge deal, but it definitely makes the service feel a little lacking. The food was also just okay this time. I got the chicken and waffles, and the waffle was pretty bland while the chicken was way too salty. Overall, the prices are a little on the expensive side too , it was $7 just to add one pancake.

Great first impression. 5/5 food selections. Bar area was very cozy with gorgeous views all around. 3.7-4/5 for food flavors/taste. They actually have people wiping down chairs/tables and clearing tables for you. You can order at the cafe place or the Omakase World Market where I ordered at kiosk and waited for my order number. Grab your own condiments. Food was ready fast. Very organized. I drank the organic coconut water $4, had the $6 big chocolate walnut cookie, and $18 chicken sandwich. I think the chicken sandwich was overpriced even when it was listed as $16. Portion size was smaller than expected for this price. It tasted ok, but I've had much better elsewhere. The cool thing about the place is plenty of beautiful spots to sit. Menu variety included pizzas, dumplings, and other sandwich items. Convenient for working class folks around here. There's also beautiful couches and tables by the bar area which also included a pool table, great for relaxation in back. You can see tall buildings/landscape all around. Good place for meetups/work/study/break time. Management has really invested in the place. I hope they open more food places inside. It's a hidden gem for sure. No, they don't open on weekends.

Is there such a thing as a 6 star review? I am now eating dessert and I can't wait writing this…read morereview. This place deserves the 6 star.. We ordered a Burrata salad, sea bass, lomo Salado and a panacotta for dessert. We enjoyed every single item from start to finish. Salad is something I have never had before. Unique combination of ingredients and tasted great. Most tender meat (filet mignon) in the Lomo Salado. Seabass is cooked to perfection. Before coming here, I thought Spruce has the best burgers around here, but JC did it. My daughter loved it. This place deserves a Michelin award. If not a star, at least a bib gourmand award. The only difference between those star restaurants and here. JC doesn't have 20 waiters running around. It feels like a hybrid of a family run restaurant and a fine dining restaurant. I like that a lot. Nice and relaxing. You don't have to dress up and sit straight. That way I could enjoy my meal. This is going to be my go to spot. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

Their chicken tinola is delicious and reminds me of the home cooked family style tinola I grew up eating. The broth is warm, comforting, and full of flavor, and I love that the chicken is already deboned. It gives you that homemade comfort food feeling while making it easy to enjoy. They also do a great job with themed and seasonal events. During Christmas they had reindeer and cookie decorating, which made the whole place feel festive and family friendly. It is more than just a place to grab food. They make an effort to create an experience. There is also a bowling alley and a full bar, so there is something for everyone. It is especially great for large groups because you can eat, have drinks, bowl, and hang out all in one place. Service has always been awesome, and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming.
