It's only fitting that my first post to kick off this journey is a restaurant review. Six of us decided to go to the Lighthouse Restaurant for dinner tonight. Located at Port Sanibel Marina, 1 mile before the Sanibel toll booth. By boat: Green Marker 11.
Situated on the waterfront overlooking the marina, the atmosphere is casual fine dining. No table cloth required. Tastefully decorated for the holidays, the Lighthouse Restaurant, on this night hosted small and large parties alike with couples and families equally at home. The consensus of the group is to rate the atmosphere as a 4 on a 5 point scale.
I started my meal with the Lobster Bisque and was not disappointed. Smooth and creamy as the menu says. As temperatures are colder than normal down here for this time of year, I chose a pasta dish this evening as my main course. The Lobster Tetrazzini proved to be spot on. Continuing the key lime pie tour, I had to give theirs a try...average for the area. Quality of food...again a 4 on a 5 point scale.
Service started strong out of the gate but steadily dropped off. As the restaurant started to fill, less attention was paid to the needs of the table. Our waiter did not appear to want to be there tonight and it showed. It was unfortunate that gratuity was automatically added to our bill as they do for parties of six or more. On this night, the service rated a 2 on a 5 point scale.
Appetizers start at $6.99, pasta dishes from $15.99, Seafood from $19.99 and signature entrees from $21.99. I rate the value as a 4 on a 5 point scale.
Though disappointed with the service tonight, I would go back and would recommend that if you are in the area for a while, it's worth a try.
