Lighthouse

Discovered my new favorite smash burger!!! Highly recommend! Great $1 oyster happy hour!!!!!

I walk past this spot all the time and always notice the laughter and good vibes coming from inside. I'm happy to say, it’s just as pleasant as it looks. The doors were open on this nice day, and we enjoyed a great breeze flowing through. I had the drink of the day, a blood orange spritz, and it was solid. The food? Also, a win. The chicken shawarma was layered with flavor, so so good. I’ll definitely be coming back for it again. The pita? Fresh, fluffy and just right. Bonus points for accepting InKind and Blackbird. That alone sealed the deal for a return visit.

Food and vibes were fantastic! Loved the chicken shawarma and the pasta. Music was on point - such a VIBE! Owner really cares about culture for their employees and it shows. Loved seeing them all be friends with one another and enjoy working together.

We had a wonderful dinner at Lighthouse. The steak tartare, crudités and cheeseburgers were exceptional—definitely not your typical burger. Every ingredient was exquisite, and even the sesame-loaded bun was superb. The service was friendly, and the restaurant had a lively, welcoming atmosphere. A truly memorable dining experience.

My partner and I celebrated our 7-year anniversary here. It was absolutely perfect! They greeted us with prosecco at the table and the food was portioned perfectly and absolutely delicious. We hope to return. Thank you for a lovely anniversary celebration!

Happy hour was awesome. They have 1$ oysters from 5-6pm! We went on a Tuesday at 5 pm and didn’t have to wait. Definitely would come back especially for their Daily Special Chicken Shawarma Sandwich.

Visited this spot in Williamsburg recently — loved the focus on fermented ingredients and bold flavors like tahini and harissa. We had two market fish dishes and a few mezze, and the quality was definitely high. Everything tasted super fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and unique. That said, portions were on the small side for the price (we spent around $90–$100), so just keep that in mind. When we asked if the mezze came with sourdough, the waitress said yes, but then the owner(I assume) asked us to order it separately ($5). Not a big deal, but small gestures like that could go a long way in making guests feel more welcome. The biggest downside was the noise — it was really loud inside, which made it hard to relax or have a proper conversation. Overall, we loved the food but probably wouldn’t come back just because of the atmosphere.

I came alone for happy hour and my server was a super sweet cutie pie who recommended the dark and stormy and he did not steer me wrong. It was so good I opted for another. I ordered 2 dozen oysters which were fresh and delicious. The mignonette sauce was excellent- I’ve tried other places which were not nearly as good. The music and atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming and I appreciated the open airy environment which falls between classy and rustic. Definitely a great spot for a date or larger party given they also have benches for family style seating. I would certainly recommend Lighthouse and come again with friends.
