What a great way to spend the anniversary with the one I love. A unique experience to always remember.

Rob

33rd anniversary. My husband truly surprised me with this beautiful thoughtful lunch spot for our anniversary.

Barbara

Was a blast treating my wonderful wife to this surprise dinner. Try not to take the little things for granted. Live life to the fullest!!!

Josh

My husband surprised me and took me to the Lighthouse for dinner for my 30th birthday. The food was amazing and the views are beautiful.

Jess and Josh

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had an awesome experience. Thank you.

Stephanie and Jason

Today we are enjoying a wonderful lunch in memory of my Dad who passed away last year. He loved Lighthouses and would have enjoyed dining here.

Dennis, Suzanne, Craig and Nathan

We are all happy to be in this small space to enjoy good company and listen to Billy Joel from Pandora and excellent food all enjoying this day together.

Lisa

This is the top of the world!!! Janet and I came to celebrate my 50th birthday today (which I was very depressed about) but now I am ready to embrace my 50’s and beyond.

M. Driscoll

We were on top of the world for 4.5 hours. Thank you! It was worth every penny and it goes to a great cause. GO LIGHTHOUSES!

J. Crateau

We had a wonderful dinner! Kim was a wonderful server and she was extremely thoughtful. The sunset was beautiful, and the Lighthouse had all of the extras covered – music, heat/ac, binoculars, etc. The Eggplant Parm and Strawberry Shortcake were both especially delicious. One-of-a kind experience! Would love to return.

For the ultimate romantic dinner, you can’t top this table. It’s been called the most private and exclusive dining space in New England, but you don’t have to be a celebrity to have dinner in this gorgeous glass room at the top of a beautiful lighthouse.

Only in Your State

It was by far the most romantic dinner we have had in our nearly 39 years together. Thank you so much!

Mark & Roseann Foster

My wife said that besides having children, it was one of the best times of her life!

Morgan Darcy

“If you’re romantically inclined, it doesn’t get much better,” and described the dining room at the top of the lighthouse tower as “a glass-encased love nest… that feels like the top of the world.”
