We were approached right away and drink order taken. Waitress explained they had a "shared" serving system. Drinks came soon and then app order was taken. And then literally nothing for almost half an hour. We had to flag down another waitress to take our order. Then we waited another half an hour. The food was good. The apps we got for our meal (Bang Bang Shrimp) portions were huge. The blackened Mahi fish tacos were good--I liked the planks of fish on top and the choice of pico de gallo or mango salsa. All in all a positive experience but I guess due to the busy day, service was slow. If you like big portions, this place is for you! All staff super friendly!

It has a relaxed but energetic vibe that works great for casual nights out, meeting friends, or family gatherings. What makes it stand out is the variety. With multiple vendors under one roof, everyone can find something they like -- from tacos and seafood to pizza, ramen, and craft drinks. The flexibility to mix and match from different spots makes it perfect for groups. Great atmosphere, solid food options, and a unique setting. Definitely a go-to spot downtown.

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

The tartar sauce has to be home made because it was perfection. Fries were seasoned and cooked crispy but potato-y (IKYK). Like most the places in the food hall you order on a screen.

And the homemade sauce to dip......Mmmmmm!They text you when your food is ready but because we took seats next door ours was delivered which I thought was extra nice. The food hall is fun, tables and chairs high tops and stools scattered throughout and The Basin is at the end if you are looking for a drink or two. Fun atmosphere, family feel. My only caution is to being your Stanley, I get why they charge the huge prices for the water and soda but that's just crazy lol.

Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table. I had the Blackened Grouper with broccoli and parsley red potatoes. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, super juicy and incredibly fresh. The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal. The service was great, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend checking them out.
