Fodor's Expert Review The Lighthouse

This lighthouse surrounded by fluttering flags serves as a beacon for hungry East End explorers. The interior replicates a yacht (polished hardwood floors, ship's lanterns, steering wheels, and portholes), and waiters decked out in crew's garb with chevrons serve seafood classics like Miss Nell's red conch chowder and seafood linguine Alfredo (non-seafood options are available). Most tables afford sweeping sea vistas, but prized romantic seating is on a little deck. Desserts include the lavender, guava, and cappuccino espresso crème brûlée trio. The comprehensive wine list extends to a superb postprandial selection of liqueurs, aged rums, ports, and grappas. Look for occasional inexpensive prix-fixe lunch and dinner pasta specials.
