I love how big this place is because you don't realize it until you go inside . The music that plays in the back You don't hear at alll in the front! The blue lighting is cool but I would like to be able to actually see my food when it's served. The Mac and cheese portions are HUGE. They should add a disclaimer on the menu for that. I tried the lobster Mac ( I felt it could've been more lobster inside ) and the jerk chicken Mac. I had the stuffed salmon which was big as well. So portion size 10/10. I don't feel it was stuffed as much but overall it was big. I also enjoyed the mash and collards. I tried their signature lighthouse drink. The dj in the back is good as well. The customer service is good as well. Hookah came quick but I have had better hookah. Fried shrimp and fries was very good!

Who comes to a fish spot and orders wings. I do and they were great. Fried well seasoned well and great service. For some take out and busted it down when I got in. Few days later we went back and got two take out plates. Fred fish. Flounder and tilapia fries Mac and cheese. Macaroni salad. The Mac and cheese def above average. Lots of cheese good flavors, the macaroni salad creamy nice tasting. The fish was fried perfectly but they lacked seasoning that the wings didn't. That's the only reason I didn't give them five stars. The service was also great I love when a restaurant makes a mistake and they notice it before you do. The guy literally ran down the block to give us our Mac salad. One thing don't expect to order and ur food just pops up, you know the old saying good things comes to those that wait. Just chil and wait and watch your food and others being prepared right in front of you. They are opened latex compared to other fish spots on Harlem and that's always a blessing. Oh yeah shrimps were great to

Okay east side! Yup this lighthouse is better than the west side. The food is better, the staff is interactive. The vibe is better. The storefront is sleeker. You can smell the hookah in the back , the laughs being recorded for instagram. The wings being tossed. That Mac and cheese being scooped!!! Very consistent. When I'm feeling risky I take the trip here lol. Damn the wings dinner is the one. My only critique is the dessert I wish they had butter cake but this is new school soul food you can't have it all I guess. That blue juice tho! You would have thought the kool aid man made it himself! The Chinese restaurant can learn a thing or two about their homemade juices but that's another review. Those greens are always on point get you some! Mac and cheese hmmm it's good sometimes a little too greasy. The wings are the ones, seafood smells good too

I just visited this location for the first time. My mom has been mentioning this place to me for sometime. She decided to host an event here so i finally got to experience it for myself. This place is GREAT. The staff is nothing short of amazing. Jonathan is one of the waiters and he was extremely accommodating and nice. From the front, this place is quite deceiving. You think its a traditional seafood market but in the back, its a full restaurant, with an amazing ambiance. The decor is beautiful. The space in the back is quite spacious. It also looks like they have an event room that you can potentially book for a private party which is awesome. What i appreciate most about this place is that its a casual spot. You can dress up or down. It's such a laid back vibe. The DJ was on point. We visited on a Wednesday and the music was lit. He put on so many jams, my mom and her friends were so happy. I can see multiple age groups loving the vibe here, anyone from 25 to 70. The menu is pretty large and caters to alot of people. Since my mom was hosting a party, she opted for the $60 per person menu. It included a appetizer and entree. The food was on point. I have nothing bad to say here. We had a mix of items but they included, shrimp empanadas, chicken empanadas, chicken wings, salmon, shrimp, fried fish, collard greens, mac and cheese, candied yams and cabbage. Literally everything was delicious. The greens were so flavorful and did include smoked meat. The mac was creamy and cheesy. The empanadas were delicious, especially the shrimp one. The fish and shrimp were fried to perfection and tasty. The salmon was nice big filets, it was juicy and tasty. When the meals came, everyone was silent. The food stole the show for those few minutes. We brought our own cake which the staff in the restaurant was aokay with. They provided us with extra plates to serve it. They use plastic plates, cups and utensils here. Honestly, im not mad at it. It keeps there food prices lower and helps keep the service faster. I am not mad at it. My mom preordered two containers of shirley temple and one pitcher of tequila punch, it was blue. The pitchers are the WORST. That was my only complaint. We spilled most of the drink, trying to fill a cup. They need to put the drinks into different containers, those pitchers are not it. After cutting the cake, the staff surprised my mom with sparklers, a sign that said "shine the light on em", a bottle of champagne. They did a phenomenal job of making her feel amazing. Since my mom visits there often, they knew her and know she just survived open heart surgery. They made it their business to make this event special for her. I am beyond appreciative of them for this gesture. She cried for like 10 minutes. This was a beautiful surprise to end the evening. Overall this place is amazing. My family and i are already discussing the next event we will be hosting here. I cannot wait. If you havent come here, make it your business to stop by and dine IN. Ask for Jonathan.

This place is CASH ONLY. There is an ATM but it requires a two dollar withdrawal fee which isn't bad but like why pay two dollars when you can come prepared lol. To go takes card but if you're dining in bring at least 100 bucks because they include 20% tip on your bill and if you eat plenty like me and my friends you're gonna need to bring all the coin. A plate with two sides is gonna run you an average of 28 bucks but they really don't skimp on those sides. The Mac and cheese was admittedly the least impressive of the three sides I tried. The garlic mashed potatoes had a little bit of skin and nice flavor and the Mac salad really surprised us with the tuna that was included (for some reason that wasn't mentioned on the menu). The garlic salmon was BEAUTIFUL, nicely cooked, no fishy taste or smell, good garlic buttery flavor, whereas the catfish was just okay, kinda skinny and a little dry with little flavor. Go for the salmon!!!! Also tried the banana pudding cake which was pretty good and pretty hefty for about 7 bucks. The frosting didn't taste too much like banana pudding but was enjoyable nonetheless. I would be interested in trying another flavor next time. The vibes of the lounge are really fun so it's a great spot to hang out and enjoy the music and lights.

Stumbled across this gem while walking around with a friend in Harlem. When you first enter, you can order take out from the counter. If you walk towards the back, you can sit in the restaurant and order with waitstaff. What I loved about this place is the vibe...the decor is perfect to celebrate a birthday, perfect backgrounds for selfies, and the music had us dancing in our seats! The food portions are pretty big so definitely think about sharing. Unless reserving for a party, they don't offer reservations and even though we were only a party of two they assessed a 20% gratuity/fee to our bill and only accepted cash (there is an ATM onsite, $2 usage fee). All in all I would come back with a group of friends.

Stumbled on the restaurant after an accidental trip to Costco when the store was closed, but I can feel good about it because of the delicious seafood! The restaurant seems to be new given the balloons everywhere, and the decor is also nice. The inside is a bit dark during the day time however, so maybe better for a date. There is also a popping takeout counter in the front. As mentioned, the food was great! My favorite was the cat fish strips, yum! Only downside was that all the food felt a bit heavy and the prices are a bit high, otherwise would be 5 stars!

My niece saw Lighthouse Fish Market on IG and wanted to come with friends prior to their departures for college. We planned to dine-in on a Sunday at 6pm. Like some other venues, reservations aren't accepted on the weekend. You will pass the take-out counter and bypass the people waiting when you walk in. We were approached by the hostess and were lucky to not have a wait for a table of 7. The dining room has an open floor plan. It is a fun / lounge like ambiance with a DJ and available hookahs. We ordered a variety of meals from the menu and everyone was satisfied. From what I remember we had: crab cakes, chicken wings, catfish, crab legs, dip, pasta, cabbage, and candied yams. My catfish was freshly fried, lightly coated, seasoned well and not salty. I don't know who makes the cabbage but they are good! I wanted to drink the juice. Speaking of juice - I had the 32oz blue lemonade and it was delicious, not to mention a generous size. All in all, I would come back with friends or for takeout.
