    Dave and I were driving around this beautiful area with its boats and beautiful homes. We wanted a lite lunch to hold us over until dinner. This lovely restaurant hit the spot. We got seated by the window and we could see the water, geese and beautiful boats. We opted for creamy crab soup. OMG-it was delicious and loaded with chunks of crab. We also shared some fish tacos and they were very good. A whole fish filet atop of lettuce. A delicious aioli on the side of fried onion rings and some homemade salsa. What a pleasant surprise! We love the New England feel of the area! We will definitely return to Solomons Island again. PS! Our server was the best and most patient. I'm sorry I can't remember his name!

    I came in for lunch with my family, and we received such a warm welcome and were promptly shown to a table. Megan, our server, was absolutely wonderful! She took our drink order and was really helpful with her suggestions. The filet was seasoned just right and cooked to perfection. The fried oysters were absolutely delicious. The fried shrimp with the boom boom sauce on the side was truly amazing. The angry crab cake was a bit spicy but still incredibly tasty. Enjoying a delicious meal with a great view of the water really made the experience special--couldn't be beat!

    The food was fantastic as always! We love going to see the view. Even with an extremely busy night, the service was still great. All the staff was friendly.

    The ambiance was really nice and the view was great from the outdoor seating area on a sunny day. Location had adequate parking and the interior decor was clean. The food was ok, I say that because the crab cake sandwich looked good butt the taste was not as good as it could be. It could have been made with less fillers and more jumbo lump crab meat to compete with the best. Also ordered the loaded baked potato which really didn't seem loaded, it didn't have much taste since the cheese and toppings were minimal. I may come back for the view and try some other dishes next time,

    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner after stopping at Calvert Cliffs State Park. The atmosphere was lovely and there was plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor. We arrived at 5 pm on a Sunday and there was no wait. Our sever was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Food and drinks arrived in a timely manner. Restaurant seemed family friendly. We ordered the Lobster Roll which was served with their delicious potato chips. The two rolls were served cold with large lumps of lobster meat in the lobster salad, but a side of drawn butter was also given to us. The lobster had a little dusting of Old Bay on top which added a nice Chesapeake touch. The split top roll was deliciously buttery. Market price was $45 that day which seemed fair for the two rolls we were given with large lumps of meat. We also ordered the bacon wrapped scallops which I found to be just the slightest bit over done.

    DH and I have been a few times, but to be fair, DH grew up on Solomons so he has known about The Lighthouse for YEARS! Every time we have come together, it has been super chill and busy enough in the restaurant to notice how busy it was getting. However, even though it was busy, our servers were always attentive and friendly. Let's talk about the food. Always get the crab cake! It is SOOOO good! The hush puppies to dip in honey is different and delicious! They were a happy discovery! Honestly, everything we ordered has been perfection with the crab cake always stealing the show. It's always quite nice to visit The Lighthouse. The service is great and the atmosphere is chill. We will be back for sure!

    The location is ideal as it overlooks the waterfront. The food is absolutely delicious. Of course seafood prices always tend to be listed at "market price" and it's sad that far too many entries are priced over $30 and ordering á la carte. Note: The service team could have been a little more responsive as I had to leave our table to seek out assistance with finding five small plates. This confused me as we clearly suggested that our family would share two desserts. Shouldn't these plates have arrived when the coffee and dessert was served? Bottom Line: We'll be back and trust the managers will coach the wait staff to check in with guests more frequently. Pssst, they then to congregate in that side room, with no line of sight with your customers.

Immediately greeted upon entry and chose the dining room and maybe had 3 other couples at the same time. Cole was our server and they were fantastic! Attentive and never let the beer get empty and was willing to suggest substitutions or modifications with ease and expertise! We had the crab dip to start and honestly I'd give it a 3.2/5. Definitely had a crab flavor but it had much more cheese than meat. Wifey ordered the Brussels sprouts and old bay wings as her meal and I went with the prime dip with bacon and duck fat fries. Brussels weren't hoisin like on menu but left dry with a balsamic sauce on the side! Crunchy and flavorful! 4.4/5! Wings were perfectly seasoned and huge! Perfectly crispy and delicious. 4.7/5! As for the Prime Dip! Sooo much cheese. Must have a Green Bay Packer fan in the kitchen or something but hot damn. Prime rib was flavorful. Bacon was a genius addition by yours truly. Would order again. 4.89/5. Would love a seeded hoagie roll with this. Love this old watering hole. Irish Stout was a banger and Rud Light never fails! Will return!! 4.85/5!!!!
