We started with calamari, which was excellent, reminiscent of homemade that mom made, sauce was good. Bread was good seed Italian but would have been better server warm. Salads very good mix. My wife had burrata ravioli which she thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted stuff calamari which wasn't available so I had linguine with white lam sauce. Sad to say, I was disappointed. This is my go to last meal dish. They had a dozen fresh baby clams with a generous portion of chopped pasteurized (maybe)or canned clams. The sauce lacked that ocean Brine Taste I was so looking for. The linguine was overcooked and not al-dente. If this place wasn't straight from Brooklyn, this meal would've pass as okay. Finally, a soft cherry centered tartufo for desert.....

5+++++ Star Review for The Lighthouse, Surf City, NJ…read more Absolutely loved LOVED our visit to The Lighthouse in Surf City! Everything was on point from start to finish. We had the wings, fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich -- and each dish was better than the last. The wings were perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the fish tacos were fresh and had just the right amount of kick, and the chicken sandwich was juicy and satisfying. The vibe of the place was beachy, welcoming, and laid-back -- just what you want at the Shore. Service was fast and friendly, food came out hot, and everything tasted made with care. Definitely a hidden gem and worth every star. We'll be back for sure!

TLDR: Future customers be warned that your preferences are not respected here…read more I love the sandwiches here. HOWEVER today we experienced 100% unacceptable behavior by the chef (I believe the owner) in the back. My friend, who unfortunately lost her voice, ordered a sandwich through the notes app on her phone to the girl at the desk. Her order was an Italian with diablo and liverwurst. The girl understood it fine, asked some questions but they understood the order. He came to the front and asked to confirm the sandwich with salami, pepperoni, and capicola, PLUS the liverwurst. He told us that's not something he had heard of before but we confirmed we wanted it all on one sandwich and he went back. Seemed fine and understood. When we got to the counter, they had two sandwiches ready for us. We informed her it was liverwurst and she just handed over the one sandwich. Paid and then checked the sandwiches after the confusion. We realized they just put liverwurst and peppers into the sandwich and nothing from the Italian. We went back into explain, talked to the first girl at the counter. She asked "did we write the order wrong?" And I confirmed for my friend, we just wanted to add liverwurst and peppers to the Italian sandwich. She said okay and that they would remake it. Then the owner came back. He gave us a serious attitude and said "I'm not making it that," openly insulted her order by saying "those meats don't go together" and that he wouldn't honor the order despite her already paying for it. I told him "It's what she ORDERED, that's what she wants." He replied "I don't care, I'm not doing it." (A simple "we don't do modifications" would have been totally understandable by us instead of this.) Thankfully, his entire wonderful staff heard. I asked about just paying for the other sandwich so we could combine it at home. The amazing woman at checkout gave us the other sandwich for free. The second star is purely for the generosity and understanding of the staff. We understand it was busy and sometimes things get overlooked, but the behavior from this guy was extremely unprofessional. Their only saving grace was their extremely kind and apologetic staff. Future customers be warned that your preferences are not respected here. A quote from my friend when we were home: "I was half-hoping that when I added the two sandwiches together, it would be disgusting and he might have been justifiable. But it was delicious just as I ordered it." We brought our friend to visit Sea Isle City to show her the best it has to offer, and it's a shame the owner's behavior ruined this experience.

Our server was excellent too and the whole family enjoyed their meals - Corned Beef on rye, Turkey Sandwich, and the half sour pickles and french fries were scrumptious!

Best to check online menus for lunch and dinner as well as days open. The Italian hot dog was blistering crisp with sautéed peppers and onions and fried potatoes scooped onto their HOMEMADE FRESH BAKED ITALIAN BREAD.

Only 2 ladies serving who were very good but seemed a little overwhelmed by the time the small dining area filled up (they could use an extra runner for busy nights to help). The risotto balls and caprese salad appetizers were out of this world. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly, the pasta dish with sausage & bell peppers was very good. My end of the table : 2 ordered linguini (1 subbed penne) w/clams & 1 ordered of chicken Sorrentino. The chicken dish was very tasty, clams were very good too-tender & no grit. However, the "sauces" that each dish came with were literally just bland broth, no flavor, like the just poured low sodium broth on top of pasta. Hopefully their chef beefs up the sauces a little bit, they shouldn't be watery & tasteless. Everything else was delicious so not much to complain about, but they definitely need to fix the sauce situation (although the tomato sauce with risotto balls was out of this world).

Unfortunately, the service really fell short. It took way too long just to be acknowledged. The hostess was friendly, but the big man behind the counter, looked right past me twice and took another customer's order before mine. Thankfully, a younger gentleman stepped in and took my order, which I appreciated. As for the food, the cheesesteak was very disappointing. It lacked seasoning completely, and the only thing that somewhat saved it was the extra ketchup I added. I couldn't even finish it there, I ended up taking it home and fixing it myself just to make it edible. Being a Philly native, I had higher expectations. The hoagies are actually good, but the cheesesteaks just don't live up to what you'd expect. Overall, not the worst experience, but definitely not one I'd rush back for.
