    a plate of appetizers and a bowl of soup
    Becky G.

    This was my 3rd time eating at the Lighthouse restaurant. Unfortunately it was my 1st bad experience. But the first 2 were excellent so I will be back. The 1st time I ate here, I had the most amazing grilled snapper & charbroilled oysters. Everything was perfection. It made me want to go back as soon as possible. 2nd trip was good as well. I can't recall what I had but I don't have any recollection of it being bad in any way. This trip, I ordered the snapper again, half dozen of both raw & charbroilled oysters. My wife ordered a T Bone steak. The waiter came back to inform her they were out of T Bones. So she ordered the filet. They were also out of that as well. She ended up ordering a ribeye cooked medium rare. My raw oysters were disappointing. They were tiny & had no flavor, as though they had been washed. The charbroilled ones tasted good, but again, tiny. The serving I had on my 1st trip there were better. We also had some fried appetizers, they were ok. Our entrees came out. My snapper tasted fine, but didn't blow me away like my 1st visit. My wife's steak ended up very overcooked, so she sent it back. It then came back basically raw. Our waiter was very polite & apologized both times about her steak. He ended up bringing us a piece of cheesecake & a piece of chocolate cake for dessert at no charge. We didn't care for the chocolate cake, which is weird, because who doesn't love chocolate cake?? The cheesecake was good, it could have used some sort of fruit puree on top. Yes, I know it was free, but if I had to pay for it, a topping would have added to the value. The Lighthouse is not cheap, our bill was $85. But when the food is good, it's worth it. Don't assume just because you are within spitting distance of the gulf, that seafood will be cheap. Since this was our only lack luster visit out of 3, we will likely return.

    The steaks have been great they are moving to a place on the beach side that will make them fantastic service and place to enjoy the views

    The service and the food were both spot on. I don't get to Grand Isle often, but will stop here again on future visits.

    Ordered take out on a chilly evening. Everything was ready and in order upon pick up. Had two chop…read moresalads with blackened fresh catch and it was excellent as always. Hurricane Hole never disappoints for consistently great food and fun ambiance. Thanks So Much!

    I came with a group of about 15 people. Usually with a group this large the service can be hit or…read moremiss. And the food is generally blah because it puts a lot of strain on the kitchen all at once. Surprisingly, our experience was fantastic. The food was hot, fresh, and obviously cooked to order. We started with appetizers for the table and they were really delicious. Then, the waitress went around the table taking orders. I don't think any two of my party ordered the same thing. (I started to feel really bad for the line cooks.) However, to my surprise, each order came out in sequence, perfectly cooked. Now granted, this is a seafood-oriented restaurant. But a lot of folks in my party ordered turf dishes. There was a pork sandwich that was reviewed as really tasty. My friend who had the chicken said it was cooked perfectly and juicy. I had a cheeseburger and fries, delicious all the way around. Those in my party who had the sweet potato fries were particularly impressed with how tasty they were. On a personal note, the shrimp cakes (which are like crab cakes, but with shrimp) were fantastic. And the ahi tacos, while sumptuous, are a little bit of a challenge to eat without making a mess. Overall, I really like this restaurant. It's on the water, it offers inside or outside dining, the prices are reasonable, and the food is first rate. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff went out of their way to make sure every person in my party left full and happy. Next time I'm on Grand Isle, I plan to take my wife here for date night. I hope to see you there.
