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!

What a wonderful place! The food is somehow both gorgeous and homey, like being hugged by your most fabulous friend. Had the Big Salad with Grilled Chicken, the Hummus, and a Ginger Lemon spritzer: delicious. And if you are lucky enough to get into conversation wih the owners Naama and Assaf- highly recommend!

Lighthouse BK is a Mediterranean restaurant in Brooklyn. They have a few tables outside and maybe 20 or so inside. The staff here are amazing, so friendly and helpful but also always around to get you what you need. They have a decent sized menu and prices arefair for the portions you get. The taste though is amazing. If you got a group, the mezze platter is perfect to try everything. Their steak is cooked extremely well, and their fish is fresh and delicious. Overall an amazing experience and the service couldn't have been better. Highly recommend making reservations at least a few days ahead of time.

Overall a lovely dining experience, we tried the steak salad and grilled market fish. Both were delicious, though I wish there hadn’t been so much sauce on the fish because the fish on its own was already beautifully cooked and seasoned without needing all the extra sauce. Fries were impeccable (the ketchup was a slay). Service staff were also amazing and attentive throughout!

Amazing brunch at lighthouse! East-going vibes inside with AC and good fans for summer. Everybody who works there is so kind, and you don’t need reservations weeks in advance to get in. I’m excited to try it for dinner! I highly recommend the Bloody Mary. I always get a Bloody Mary at brunch and can confidently say this was one of my favorites ever. So high quality. The iced coffee was delish too. For food, we started with some oysters, which were all SO fresh. Extra points for a smart approach to mignonette sauce: they put it in a dropper bottle! I also loved the eggplant labneh and olives from the mezze part of the menu. The heirloom tomato starter with feta is so perfectly seasoned with spices and olive oil - loved this! For entrees, we split the chilaquiles and the green omelette. Both were fantastic. The chilaquiles were especially good for sharing given how many chips it’s served with. The omelette was so simple and yet one of the most flavorful omelettes I’ve ever had. The Smokey tahini that comes with the omelette is an especially great touch!

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.

Simple but good food. All wines seem to be natural wines and most of them are "Funky" . Why??? Ultimately wine should not distract the food. More is something that elevates expectations . Why not have choices of both traditional and natural. A shame to drink natural white wine with oysters. Kind of destroys the exclusivity. I know natural wines are easy to drink for people not into wine. But still... At least give us the choice. When going out it is not about a restaurant educating people. Rather to make sure people get a great experience.

Tahini caesar was awesome. Ceviche was ok. Steak was bad. Cocktails were ok. Definitely a happy hour spot. Good vibes. Food, not so much.

The food and atmosphere here are fantastic—seriously, 10/10 oysters, drinks, and burgers. The quality was outstanding, and we were really excited to enjoy a great night out. Unfortunately, the service didn’t come close to matching the food. Our group of 7 was essentially *cut off* from ordering more oysters and burgers because it was “too hard on the kitchen,” despite there being only four tables in the entire restaurant. We had been ordering oysters (24 at a time) over the course of an hour and a half, totaling 72—a completely reasonable amount for a party of our size. If there’s a limit on how much food can be ordered, that should be communicated upfront, not imposed arbitrarily when the waitress starts getting annoyed. They also were “out” of everything else we wanted to order such as Mediterranean nachos or the daily sandwich. It’s such a shame because the food and setting were incredible, but the service and communication could be improved upon. It’s been a long time I’ve experienced attitude from a waitress. She refused to speak to us after her comment about not ordering more food and did not visit the table to say goodbye or check in after that.

I ordered the grass-fed steak (medium), listed as a 16oz steak for two ($53). Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. Cook level: Ordered medium, but the steak arrived well-done, which ruined both tenderness and flavor. Portion size: The serving looked noticeably smaller than the advertised 16oz, especially considering it was billed as “for two.” Cut quality: The steak was a tri-tip, which is a leaner, less expensive cut — not what I’d expect for a $53 steak. Most restaurants at this price point serve ribeye, strip, or filet. Price/value: After tax and tip, the bill came to nearly $70 for a tri-tip steak, French fries, and a water. For that price, the quality, portion, and preparation simply didn’t match expectations — extremely overpriced. Tip calculation: The system auto-calculated a 20% tip on the subtotal + tax, which came to $11.54. If it had been 20% on just the $53 subtotal, it would have been $10.60. Not a huge difference, but it feels misleading since tax shouldn’t be tipped on. Menu: The menu itself is extremely limited, with vague wording like “spicy things” instead of clear descriptions. For a high-priced restaurant, I expected more variety and professionalism. Atmosphere: The dining room did not seem to have proper air conditioning, and it was uncomfortably warm inside. The waitstaff were sweating heavily, which made the environment feel unpleasant and unprofessional. Overall, the dish did not meet expectations in flavor, size, cut, or preparation — and the dining conditions only added to the poor experience. The menu was vague and unappealing, and the pricing felt excessive for what was delivered.
