Came in for Mother’s Day lunch buffet. Nice restaurant location on the lake. I expected some higher quality food. Buffet had fried/grilled chicken, Pork, fried flounder, Mac-n-cheese, salads, plenty of other options. Some food was a bit cold, or over cooked. Pasta salad was good, also decent desserts and great beer list. Maybe a bit pricey for a lunch buffet at $ 23 although with an increase in food quality it would have been easily worth it. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is a favorite place to go when visiting my parents on Lake Keowee, as it affords a beautiful view of the lake from the right tables, and it’s even accessible from the lake. There a couple of docks where you can keep your boat or jetski while you dine. Food is very good, some meals better than others. I’m a big fan of the stuffed flounder, and as side dishes go, the havarti mac & cheese and the fried ochra are both excellent. I can’t recall ever having a bad experience with wait staff here, but the last time I went I tried to make reservations for the second floor. The gal on the phone simply said it wasn’t open, but didn’t mention *when* it was open, which would have been nice to know. The view is allegedly best from the second floor and I had company in town. The view was kind of our priority that evening. I also got the feeling this woman wasn’t really used to taking phone reservations, as she was awkward to talk to and didn’t really prompt me to give her the information I needed. Not the most helpful. Still, a good experience over all. And again, you can’t beat the proximity to the water.

We went to the light house for an event and had one of the best meals ever. The meal featured lamb and it was well prepared and made an outstanding meal. The staff was great and made it a perfect evening.

The chicken bruschetta was tough didn’t even seem like it was done. Noticed other patron having trouble with theirs also. A knife would barely cut it.

After two seasons in operation… They have worked through a lot of their original problems and are putting out consistent and quality food! For the area definitely your best option for quality food and service!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. How could you go wrong with sides like cheddar cheese grits and Havarti Mac and cheese? Very friendly staff and solid priced and selection on their wine. Fresh fish specials are great. I enjoy that you can boat here as well as drive. I will be a regular!

Food has gone downhill also nothing like waiting for a table for 20 min then having a stumbling Elmer Fudd come in demand a table and yell for Mark to do so … He bumped him, So we wait even longer… Along with other patrons. No apology or explanation from staff… just deer in headlights looks. Slow slow service on top of it. Didn’t express displeasure cause I wanted to eat and leave. I’ll be scheduling work lunch meetings and taking my family elsewhere!!!

Good food. A little pricey but worth it! We ordered bbq quesadillas for our appetizer. They were really good! I ordered ribs with fries and red mashed potatoes and salad. All were good. My fiancée got the chicken waffles(I’m not into trying that so I didn’t. But he said it was good). I was a little curious that every other table got a basket with cornbread and butter and we did not get it or were offered it. I guess they forgot to bring it to us.

Beautiful view. But out of our 5 times here, service has just been ok. The younger staff at the boat cabana is awesome. However, the older lady w blonde hair w the sour puss face & bad attitude waitress at the Lighthouse should be fired! She told us «no, you can’t make substitutions» to all 10 of us for minor changes(can I get that grilled instead of fried?). She had a BAD attitude & was down right RUDE! What restaurant says«no»??? Successful businesses say«sure let me check with the cook to see what we can do!» Menu needs revamped to lighter options and wait staff needs better training. Horrible does not even explain our experience with that mean waitress. BUT again the younger staff is great and the view is amazing.

We were taken there for lunch. While the view was very nice, the food was mediocre. The dishes that were at the table when we first sat down were dirty. I had the fried lobster ravioli and the only tasty part of the dish was the cream sauce. The filling didn’t taste like lobster at all. The ravioli was tough and had something over it which was dark and hard. I also had a side of fried okra which was terrible. There was hardly any breading on the okra and the okra was hard. My husband had the chicken salad on croissant which was supposed to have pecans but he couldn’t taste the pecans. Also, they don’t say there’s mayonnaise in the dish. They describe the chicken salad as having«dressing.» The waitress was condescending. She made a snide remark because I was ordering from the appetizer section and not the regular section of the menu.

Took the boat here, easy in and out dock for the boat. The food at the Tiki Hut was not very good. We had the hamburger and it was very dry and no flavor the chicken quesadilla was better. They also were mowing the grass and spreading gravel creating dust everywhere, not a pleasant outside lunch atmosphere.

First time here since moving to the area. Wow. Wonderful dinner. Had the stuffed flounder. Totally recommend it. Will definitely make this place a regular stop. Wish I had room for dessert. Tonight’s special was bananas foster.

This was a good restaurant. Other folks have recommended reservations but 3 of us were able to get a booth with no wait. There was a function happening upstairs and a meeting in the event center, but none of that affected our meal — other than parking being tight. We were able to park on the grass. I had a good spring greens salad with blackened salmon. Pretty good. Server was attentive and forthcoming about the better wine to choose. Nice breadbasket with drinks, and the cornbread was great. I went there with my parents and it’s that kind of place. A good place to go with your parents. Everybody’s happy. I don’t know why it’s called the lighthouse, it’s really far inland. Oh well.

1PM late lunch on a Sunday, not crowded at all, seated immediately. Young, yet very courteous wait staff. Basically ran through a tasting menu of all the recommended choices. The Maryland Crab Pretzel is the signature appy, our server said they sell more of that than anything else. I can see why– very unique flavor, and a don’t miss. We had the fried green tomatoes as well, with the jalapeño pimento cheese spread on the side just in case. No need, not spicy hot at all, but also not remarkable. Had the Doug Hollow burger, and one with grilled chicken– both fine. The mac and cheese side was as advertised, very tasty. Almond crusted chicken rounded out the meal for our table. Nice views of the lake from all sides, I’d recommend the experience here, if you find yourself at Lake Keowee.

I’ve gone here twice for lunch. Beautiful view while eating a light meal and having great conversation. The food I’ve had is good. The fried ravioli appetizer was perfect. It has balsamic vinegar on it so it adds a «tang». If you don’t like that it still tastes good without the vinegar drizzle. I had the shrimp Caesar salad on my first visit and the crab bisque soup. The soup was really good. The salad was just a salad. This time I had the Flounder sandwich and fried okra. It was just okay. The fish was fried a little too hard and the hoagie bun it comes on is really flaky so it was sort of a crummy mess. Had I been at a more formal lunch meeting I would have been a bit embarrassed by the amount of crumbs falling every where. The food is good, but go for the view and the service. Both times we had excellent service!

I travel every week for business and have never walked out of a restaurant before tonight without eating. The service was non-existent. We were seated at the bar while waiting on a reserved table. The small bar was about ½ full and it took the bartender about 15 minutes to even acknowledge that we were there. We would have waved him down but that shouldn’t be necessary if he is doing his job correctly. We were seated at our outside table on time. Over the next 15 minutes many serving staff passed by us without even saying hello or asking if we’d been served. Only after we went back to the hostess, did the server appear. Cannot comment on the food since we didn’t make it that far. We don’t need to drive 30 minutes to be ignored. No thanks.

I had the shrimp and grits… Stone ground grits, cheddar cheese, with Andouille-Tomato gravy scallions and sauteed shrimp. Honestly better than I expected. Quite a good meal. So here we are in the country near a lake with a really decent restaurant. Not bad! The place is on Lake Keowee so the views are nice. We went at night so the views were hidden… I would go back.

Great place with a very laid back feel with a big fireplace in the center. The menu offers a pretty wide range Shrip N’ grits, burgers, seafood, steak, chicken and all of these are cooked very well. Small little bar for the drinkers out there.

First TIP — Make a reservation! Seriously, it will save you two hours. I did and I still waited for 20 minutes. The view is amazing. The food and the service need help. Our server was also bar tending with two other people. Two of the four at our table did not get offered /receive a second drink. I had Blue Ridge Trout. Skin was still on the trout and it was smothered in what seemed like mushroom gravy(think Campbell). If there was supposed to be any lobster — there was not. My husband had the Almond Crusted Chicken and he admitted he would not have it again. My dad had the baby back ribs — and he would not have it again. It was VERY loud — at a table of four — you had to almost yell across the table to talk to someone. Possibly very expensive for no reason. Perhaps they had a bad night.
