Took a trip to the aquarium with my kids and finished with dinner at Parker’s lighthouse. The food was pretty good, the atmosphere was amazing and we had the absolute BEST and I mean BEST waitress!! Honorable mention to Ms. Bailey….She made sure to make our FIRST experience the best experience. She immediately greeted us and her personality was so great. Right away she highlighted a few menu items in which we took a few of her suggestions. We ordered the warm crab dip which was delivered quickly, fresh and was so good. I ended up ordering the mixed grill pictured below (10/10) and my kids (8 & 6) ordered the kids pizza (also pictured below) which had amazing portion sizes & they ate the entire thing. Their meals came with ice cream which I thought was really nice considering my kids were already asking about dessert prior to arriving. We were celebrating my son’s birthday and Bailey went above and beyond yet again and had a crew sing him happy birthday. It made him feel so special and literally made his night. He talked about his experience the whole way home. Thank you Bailey…you can truly tell when a person loves their job. We will definitely be returning!

Parker’s Lighthouse honestly is one of the easiest places to spot because of that cute, bright red rooftop. My friends and I actually noticed it while riding the boat, so once we got off, we walked straight over and claimed our seats.
The menu is huge, and besides the delicious bread, everything we ordered—food and drinks—was pretty solid.
Lighthouse Roll $26
Crispy Chic Sand $23
Fish N Chips $28
Mixed Grill $104 ( 2 sets)

Our server Ken was really friendly and upbeat, and the space has a little bit of everything: indoor dining, a bar area, a wine-tasting room, plus outdoor seating.
We had the outdoor patio facing the Queen Mary, which basically means front-row ocean views. Super pretty. Yes, the sun hits a bit, but with the ocean breeze it’s still very chill and relaxing. We enjoyed our brunch here very much.
After finishing our meal, we strolled around the village and took photos. This area is so photogenic. Highly recommend coming here for the views, the vibes, food and the walk.

Any great dining experience is a reflection of the staff and then the food. If you’re coming here for dinner, ask for Job. He was professional, pleasant, friendly, and intimately familiar with the menu.
We started with the clam chowder, lobster and shrimp taquitos and warm crab dip. The chowder was packed full of clams and absolutely fabulous. Similarly, the lobster and shrimp taquitos are an absolute must have. They were simply out of this world.
For my main course, I had the Seared Hokkaido Sea Scallops, again exceeding all expectations and falling into the excellent category. I paired my scallops with the 2023 Kettmeir Pinot Grigio based on Job’s recommendations, which was an excellent choice. My wife elected to have the lavender paradise zero proof cocktail, which she found refreshing.
We wrapped up the meal with the warm butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream and complimented with berries. What could be bad it was a winner.
I would highly recommend if you’re in town and have the time to come here for dinner. All of the staff was fantastic but our waiter Job definitely was a stand out. The food was exceptional, and I don’t think that you will be disappointed. Lastly, we had a table overlooking the Queen Mary, but the restaurant affords panoramic views that include the city. These views would be difficult to match at other restaurant in Long Beach.

Had a great dinner here. Just tried this location from the reviews and the chance for seafood. Was pleasantly surprised and happy from this choice. I had the seafood pasta it was flavored well, the pesto was amazing on it. And trying the bourbon braised short rib was utterly delicious, the meat was cooked so fine the meat fell apart when picking at it. The drinks and vibe were perfect for the setting and the views of the ocean harbor front was pleasant. Would go again

A classic waterfront spot that delivers on both food and atmosphere. The food was excellent, and it’s a great touch seeing the mesquite grill working as you enter—it immediately sets the tone. The location and views elevate the experience, making it ideal for a relaxed but memorable meal. Highly recommend the mixed grill, especially for the crab cake, and the grilled fish selections, which are simply prepared and done very well. A solid choice for fresh seafood with a quintessential Long Beach vibe.

First time here and Last time most likely! It started great service but when the bill came, I felt a bit taken advantage of! Especially if I had ordered 2 drinks but I had meant only one drink. Nicole, the waitress was great but not quite truthful!
Will not be going back here! It’s a principle thing!

The food here is very good! We also had a really good server, his name is Ben! I ordered warm crab dip, very good, and seafood linguine, also pretty good. She ordered a sampler dish that had sword fish, crab cake, vegetables, and potatoes, and she loved it! She also ordered an alcoholic drink, I don’t remember the name of it, I think part of the name was passion, but the drink had so much ice in it, she said she couldn’t taste any flavor. The drink was $17 I believe. So that is our only complaint. The staff was professional and friendly and the food was a 10, just not the drink. Also the outside is very pretty seeing all the boats everywhere. We will definitely visit again.

Very disappointed with our Valentine’s Day dinner here. It was a prefixed menu. We started with the oysters and Caesar salad. It was $20 for 4 oysters, when the oysters came, they were very small and it looked like the meat was missing. I had to turn on my flashlight to see a tiny film in the bottom of the shell and I guess that was what they called an oyster. Basically nothing there. Even if they were good quality, large oysters, $20 is a lot for four oysters. Then my wife’s salad came. $20 for a small Caesar salad that was mostly iceberg lettuce, and a couple croutons. Please see the pic. A side solid at Denny’s was better than this…
The entrées came and they were decent . One was steak and one tuna . The steak was small and came with about five stocks of asparagus and some mashed potatoes. The tuna came with white rice. $64 each! Expected much better for this price. It was not mastros!
The last was the dessert. My wife got the chocolate brownie that was $15. They said they were out of it. I ordered the lemon tart, they brought cheesecake instead and I told them that I had the lemon tart and they could just put it to go at that point. They came back at the end and gave me the dessert to go in a box inside a paper bag. When I got home, I opened it to eat it and it looked like it was smashed. The box was still perfect, and it never got spilled in my car. It wasn’t just upside down. It was broken and clearly smashed. That was $15 also.
The reason I put two stars instead of one is because the waitress was very nice and professional. They were very busy that night understandably. A 320 bill for dinner for two with a drink each for that kind of food is hard to accept. I don’t usually write reviews for anywhere I go, but this had to be shared

My wife and I come here whenever we are in the Long Beach area. We have always had an amazing experience at the restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere are outstanding. If you have read my reviews before, you know that I rarely give a straight five stars, but this place deserves it. Don’t forget to have them validate your parking!

Stopped in for lunch on a beautiful day, and loved the views. The food and service were great also. We had East Coast Oysters, and New England Clam Chowder, which actually did taste like Clam Chowder in New England. 🙂 Great lunch and great view – can’t ask for anything better.
