First, our server Amber, was outstanding. She stayed on top of everything. We started with some clam chowder as an appetizer and it was excellent. Our entrees were grilled salmon, baked haddock, and a fried shrimp platter. My uncle and wife loved their salmon and fried shrimp meals. My baked haddock was good but a little overcooked. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the views, it was a great experience that I highly recommend.

We had a late dinner here with myself, my wife and my daughter. My wife and I split the haddock sandwich which was enough for both of us. Our daughter had the shrimp po-boy and said it was great. The view in the evening is the sun went down and the lights came on in Sumter. Landing was excellent.

Was able to accommodate my father in law who is in a wheelchair. The waitress and staff are friendly and the daily specials are awesome. We have been twice with a party of six and have been pleased each time. The lobster roll and lunch meanue fish sandwich are my favorite!

We stopped for a girls lunch while visiting my family. Had about a 15 minute wait which really wasn't that bad. It sits right on the water which is absolutely beautiful. The establishment was clean. Our server was very attentive and personable. We had an issue with our fish tacos and she immediately rectified the situation. The fresh muscles were fresh and tasted amazing. The Oyster Rockefeller was good but they weren't shucked great so pieces of the shell had to be taken out of your mouth when chewing. I had the beets and mozzarella dish. The beets could have been fresher. The fish tacos were really good.

Was lucky enough to come after the lunch rush and was immediately seated with an outdoor lake view!! Service was prompt, and our waiter was friendly and attentive! Our food was hot and delicious! So much so I forgot to take pictures of it! Lol

The restaurant is located along the boardwalk of Lake-Sumter Landing in The Villages. My favorite attractions are the amazing views and the seaside theme. The service is always warm and friendly. The food is delicious. However, it is a bit pricey, but that is not unexpected for seafood with waterfront views and amazing sunsets located in the heart of Lake Sumter Landing.

NO Gluten Free options - wing it was what I was told by hostesses. Food was ok. I had the filet mignon that had a weird tasting sauces smeared all over it - maybe garlic butter with Parmesan? Not sure but definitely not good. I asked for nothing on it, waste of $50! Service was ok. Not busy but took 10 minutes for the server to get to our table (2pm sat at table) Atmosphere was load but great Boston decor!

We stopped for lunch. Chose to eat outside/waterside - beautiful day today. Didn’t wait long for the drink order, is wasn’t packed, but it seemed busy on the outside patio. We ordered shortly after. Food arrived in a reasonable time and it was warm, not hot. As the food arrived, we heard another waiter describe the specials - we never thought to ask and it wasn’t offered by our waitress. Shame, the loaded Bloody Mary sounded good! Note they charge you if you pay by card. I understand they are looking to recoup their cc expense, but it just causes me pause for future visits. Also, it is one of the few restaurants that does not pipe in music. All in all, pleasant lunch, reasonable prices, good seating and other options for non seafood people. Will we return? Maybe, just to see how consistent they are and with cash in hand!

I went to this place to watch Sunday football because it's known to be where they show the Patriots and play the sound over the loudspeaker. And that indeed they do but you better have a reserved seat. I was lucky enough to find a space at the bar to have a drink and a "meal" for the first half. The place was busy but the service was keeping up, and the kitchen and service team seemed very well coordinated. I've been here twice and have been disappointed with the food twice. I've ordered the lobster cakes for $18. I should have taken a picture because it was hysterical. I laughed when it was served along with the people sitting next to me at the bar. They were literally the size of quarters and they were only two. There was lots of flavor but no observable Lobster meat in either of them. There was some kind of sweet thai sauce which should never go with a lobster cake. Either serve it with a cocktail sauce or tartar or lemon wedge on the side. I'm from Maine and I had high expectations for that tasty treat. Bottom line is they are very busy as people flock there for Seafood as it seems to be the only restaurant in The Villages dedicated to it. My prior Vision was fried shrimps and they were equivalent to what I could get at any of the local restaurants and country clubs at a lower cost.

Staff is friendly. Aroma is a little overwhelming even for a seafood restaurant. Mkt prices are exaggerated. Food is good. A nice variety. Drinks are on point. Dessert is a must. Slightly crowded inside. Views on deck are beautiful.

Angie Phillips

What a treasure! Half way point for my BFF to meet for her bday! Beautiful view! Great staff. Clean. Went with special, Lobster feast. Missed my hubby cracking the whole lobster, but they split the tales and gave all the tools! Lobster great, corn great, beans and potatoes not my fave. The desserts were top notch!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lighthouse Point Bar & Grill is the kind of place where your taste buds go on vacation and forget to come home. I came for a burger and left spiritually transformed. The fish tacos? So fresh I’m convinced the chef has a fishing rod in the kitchen. The drinks? Strong enough to make me think I could salsa dance (spoiler: I cannot). Our waiter was so charming, I nearly added him to my will. The waterfront view is gorgeous—like a postcard, if the postcard also served coconut shrimp that made me briefly question my loyalty to all other food. Seagulls tried to steal my fries, but I respect their hustle. And yes, I gave them one. If you’re in the area and don’t stop here, I’m not mad—just deeply disappointed in your life choices. Come hungry, leave happy!!

I had high hopes for this place, but we were disappointed in the end. From the start, I had to get a hostess’ attention to be seated despite there being 2 people at front of house. The atmosphere is excellent. I can’t fail that. We had an outdoor table overlooking the water and it was beautiful. Service could have been better. Our waitress was very friendly and pleasant, but attentiveness was lacking. Now to the food - I ordered the fried haddock ‘platter’ and it was far from that. One small piece of fish and unseasoned sweet potato fries. It was hardly a platter. It was something I’d expect to find on a lunch menu. We also ordered the peel and eat shrimp. Again, bland at best. We even had to ask for salt & pepper for the table. I can’t say we’ll be in a rush to go back. It’s a fantastic location, it’s just a shame about the blandness of the food we ordered.

3% Credit Card Added Charge, Loud and VeryBad management that's UNRESPONSIVE to guests. They have not responded my to review. I reside in Spanish Springs and am a caregiver of my beautiful 88 year old Italian mother who is also my very best friend. Mom suffered a stroke and heart attack at the beginning of October. It was the worst day of my life everything in my life seemed to changed. The prayers of many and the great care at the UF Spanish Plaines Rehabilitation Hospital (right at The Villages Community Hospital in Spanish Springs) delivered my beautiful mom to a miraculous recovery that now continues at home where I'm blessed to be her caregiver 24/7. We had frequently eaten out before this life changing event and often enjoyed dinners at many local eateries including Lighthouse Point Bar and Grille. There are few people left in Moms family, however our cousin from St. Augustine drove down to our home for Thanksgiving and to help bring me a little respite as the past months have been difficult and with many changes. She asked where Mom enjoyed lobster and Mom communicated, albeit with great difficulty due to aphasia from the stroke, "Lighthouse!" I confirmed that with Mom and then proceeded to the website to review menu and confirm that Friday was the Lobster Feast with the $29.99 Lobster. I proceeded to call the restaurant and to confirm with a helpful new employee and then proceeded with reservations. We arrived and after a few minutes of confusion, with the new hostess trying to make a reservation, another hostess noticed we already had a reservation for our small party of 3. We were seated promptly and sat inside and with Lovely view of the water and then sunset. Drink requests taken and when things went downhill from there. The waiter was very energetic with a happy and nervous energy. We were looking over the menu although Mom and I have already been delighted with the lobster special and our cousin loves lobster more than anyone I know- so we asked about the lobster and price. The gentleman waiter advised $49.99 and we mentioned we were there for the the Friday lobster special that I had previously confirmed online under the "Specials" pull down menu for the restaurant online and with my earlier phone call. To keep it simple we often hit restaurants on their specialty nights and Friday nights are usually really busy at this lovely restaurant. Mom and I, along with the regular group we dine with from St Timothy's, regularly meet for the lobster special at the lighthouse point bar and grille at Lake Sumter Landing The waiter advised the lobster is always based on the market and the weather has turned colder and the price of lobster has gone up for them. We were all shocked about the difference in the price for the new special of $49.99! What is the REGULAR price is the Special lobster fest price is $49.99. Generally in a restaurant the price of such a greatly recognized local dining deal would likely have the regular price a bit higher as to attract at the $50 price. The big problem was when my cousin asked to please speak to the manager. She quickly came to the table and was anything like any manager of any of the restaurants here in The Villages. Her name is Crystal if I'm remembering correctly. She has the long sleeves pulled up exposing large tattoos. We pulled up the restaurant website online where it showed $29.99 and she advised that was a different restaurant. She was abrupt and not in any human was compassionate. So we asked for more time and then cousin checked actual restaurant and we are correct and I confirmed this of my own cell phone. However, minutes later I recycled the page on Google Chrome and it then showed $49.99. The manager should have offered this meal for the price we've always paid and since we were utilizing the restaurant website and the reservations call. My 88 year old mom who is always so positive was deeply stressed but couldn't express it with words because of the stroke. Y'all, we live in The Villages and need management who serve the establishment better. Peter Vincent

We were in town for a wedding and wanted a nice meal with a “view” on our last night. This place is on a lake which was pretty, especially sitting on the water on the patio. Was told wait would be 15 minutes but that turned into 35. Service was meh. Food was pretty bad. Just so disappointing, especially for over $100 spent for 2. You’d expect seafood to be better in Florida, even central Florida, but just left us disappointed. Sides and app were also pretty sad. The seasonal veggie was zucchini. Zucchini is in season in the summer! If you are willing to pay inflated prices for sub par food with some good views, this is your place. Otherwise, I’m sure you can find something better.

Really wanted to like it. Maybe there are some specialty dishes that are worth trying. The view is nice if you get to sit by the windows or on nice days to sit outside. I think that's what draws people here. The inside decor is fine. It's got a nice nautical theme and it is loud inside. However, arriving on a weekday by 11:40 it was an issue to get a table. But I think the hostess stand is in the wrong place. It's just a couple feet opposite the door to get in so there's no place for people to go that are waiting. With all the people standing there it's hard to tell who's next and they also block the bathroom doors at the hostess stand. We had to sit at the bar because there was a wait for lunch. The bar is a little bit tight and it's a bit chaotically organized. There's stuff everywhere and you're right next to a rack If you're at the end that has kind of like a serving station and all the fruit type things for drinks. Anybody coughing can be in contact with uncovered food. We didn't like watching some of the waitresses grab fruits and vegetables with their hands. The same hands that just served food, handled checks, cash and credit cards. We watched celery being pulled right out of a glass jar and also when loading up oranges and cherries and olives. A toothpick was used but a hand was used on the opposite end to put the stuff on the toothpick. I don't know about you but I really don't like people that touch everything else to be touching my food. It took a while to get a refill of water and when the glasses were returned to us they were reversed. We know this for sure because one of us put the lemon inside the water and the other one of us put it on the outside rim. Plus the shaded rims were different sizes so we knew ours got reversed. Not a big deal since we are married but it makes me wonder if sometimes you might get somebody else's already used drink straw. The burger was decent but I've had better. There's no seasoning on it and although the flavor and texture was decent and it is quite a large patty, it wasn't cooked as ordered. I ordered medium and got between medium well and well done. So that made it a little bit on the drier side. The fries to me had no flavor. They were a little bit chewy. They didn't even have salt on them so no seasoning. And the seasoning at the bar was at the other end and I didn't even see seasoning until I was almost done with my food. So there would have been no good way to retrieve it unless you flag down a server to get it for you. I am a french fry aholic and for me to not even eat half of them says something. I don't eat coleslaw but my husband does and there was no juice or sauce in it so it was pretty dry. The fish sandwich which was haddock had a nice portion. Had some vegetables on top and looked appetizing. However, there's absolutely no sauce with it. So it lacked flavor and it also made it dry. The green beans were literally just steamed green beans. No butter, salt or pepper. Just steamed green beans that were bland. I'm going to post pictures and I don't know if they do the food Justice or not. It's probably hard to see that some things don't have sauce or seasoning or are dry. Watch for upcharges. We were informed of up charges and we should have thought to ask how much extra. I wanted to substitute a pretzel bun for the brioche bun because they used to serve it that way at least according to an old menu I saw. It was something like $2.29 more to switch to a pretzel bun. But fine. My fault for not asking. If you don't want french fries, you have to pay an up charge for any of the other sides. The green beans were an extra $3.40 more with a french fry trade-in. I can't believe they had a small little half cup of green beans cost that much more than to serve another side. Again, we should have asked. I don't think we would repeat that for plain beans. But the pretzel bun was Good. So if you're going to do an up charge I guess spend your money on that. Also if you like to earn points there is an up charge to use a credit card. Hope you have a better experience

Apparently, this restaurant is aware that it has ongoing issues processing legitimately purchased gift cards. Despite acknowledging this problem to customers, management still demands payment and even threatens arrest when the gift cards fail to process. My elderly parents had the police called on them over this issue and were completely traumatized by the way they were treated. This was an appalling experience and a textbook example of taking advantage of senior citizens. Management should be ashamed. I cannot imagine treating anyone this way, especially an elderly couple simply trying to enjoy a birthday dinner. I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs.

A bit overpriced, food is ok but portion are very small for the price they charge, not draft beers. Service was great, friendly staff and the place is clean. You can get a much better deal going to Outback, Texas Roadhouse or Hooters. Definitely not going back.
