    Chicjen breast sandwich w/fresh dressed side salad.
    Tina B.

    Quaint lil cafe right downtown! Super easy to stroll the town and stop in for a hot drink or a bite to eat. Super busy, friendly staff, food looks homemade in the small but lively kitchen, specials are available until all gone, menu's are printed on papers to share at the counter, beautiful view of the water outside while you wait on your food order, constant "ding" on the order ready bell fills the conversation sounds and everyone is happy either eating or talking among themselves. Food is clean and freshly made, not "fancy" food but real food. Sandwiches come with a fresh salad, cups/bowls of soup are available as well. Perfect for a cool fall day!! Restaurant inside is clean and warm!

    The decor here is completely confusing. A lighthouse cafe should scream seafood, not Chinese restaurant.

    One of the worst experiences. I work as a server another restaurant in snohomish, so keep in mind I know how the system is suppose to work. My mother and I have a time share in port Townsend and never came in to the lighthouse cafe. We decided to give it a try as clam chowder sounded good. We get inside and instantly feel out of place. Chinese styled chairs with thick wood tables, Chinese art and Indian pots in the corner. We sat down anyways, to be greeted by the cook who was also our server. I ordered the hot dog and a small thing of clam chowder, and my mother (who has diet restrictions) got a bacon burger no bun with a side salad. My hot dog came out first, 5 minutes later my side of clam chowder, 8 or so minutes after that my mothers food came out. Food was okay, clam chowder tasted clamless, but my mother enjoyed her burger concoction. At one point I asked for a water and he brought out a glass of ice... I just think the guys head was else where, the restaurant itself doesn't make sense (Chinese in a supposedly seafood restaurant based off the name) and the service was half assed. Probably won't be coming back. GREAT location and view, and quiet which gained one star. Otherwise, I hope they really pull it together!

    Simple diner food! Loved the blueberry hot cakes!!! Egg Benedic was really tasty too.

    We arrived into Port Townsend at 2:00pm and had an hour to kill before they opened. We got there…read moreright at 3:00pm and were seated immediately at a window seat in the bar for happy hour. We ordered several dishes which included the pimento spread with fried saltines, duck confit croquettes. potato and leek soup, oysters on the half shell and lastly, their house-made pasta which was mafaldine, a long strand with curly edges on both sides in with a sauce that was just exceptional. Our waitress, Jessica was so friendly and there was never a wait for our dishes. Overall a very splendid experience and will definitely go back when visiting Port Townsend again.

    What a delightful and wonderful restaurant that I plan on returning too whenever I am in the area…read more The space is inviting with lots of natural light and the service is fantastic with the servers being attentive and helpful but not pushy. They are always making sure you have a clean dining space and fresh settings. The food is of course the star of the show though. We went during HH and tried a variety of small bites and every single one of them was delicious. The oysters were on point, the greens balanced, the croquettes and salmon dip were very flavorful but our favorite dish of the day was the biggest one and that was the house made pasta. The selection changes every day and on our day it had red sauce, red onion, and castelvetrano olives and it was so good that we ordered a second bowl! And we may not have needed a second bowl as it was a solid size but it was so good! The house red during HH was also nice and I tried a white port and tonic which was fun to try and refreshing. Definitely a destination stop whenever one is around Port Townsend!
