Lighthouse Grill

We were staying next door at the Marriot and walked over based on the recommendation of the hotel staff. Glad we did, because this turned out to be one of the best meals of our vacation. The food was well prepared and delicious. Our server was attentive and pleasant. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Make sure you try several apps, they have several great appetizers on the menu!

Start to finish service, food and drinks were awesome. Our server was super attentive. We’re not new to the Lighthouse Grill as we frequent here year after year sometimes multiple times a year. We’re actively Interested in purchasing a home here locally as Florida Natives and having vacationed in Marathon and Key Colony for over 25 years….it’s home away from home. Lighthouse Grill in peak season has great live entertainment, the food is always spot on. We’ve used the marina to dock our boat on a few trips down for a couple of days and the marina staff is just as accommodating. Ok enough fluff above. The prime rib, potatoes and pork chop and rice was abundant in flavor. The Old Fashion was great and the spicy Margarita was Smokey and spicy. Overall the food and server were phenomenal. We love Lighthouse Grill & Faro Blanco for food, drinks and marina services. We highly recommend Lighthouse Grill.

What an amazing experience! Walking in, we were greeted by Jennifer (“Jen”), who would be our server. What a patient and more than listening woman. She was very well versed in everything we needed to know, and made recommendations that were stellar. That brings me to the food and ultimately to the chef. Chef Robert has an amazing culinary way with what he gives to his patrons. We have Cuban Rice Balls (Jen’s recommendation) and roasted oysters for appetizers…delicious! Even got an order of Cuban Rice balls to go at the end of the meal. Our entries were beyond what we could have expected. My husband ordered Seared scallops & risotto…”delicious.” I have the Lobster Mac n’ Cheese, the first bite to the last brought nothing but sublime pleasure. My husband & I were there for our 42nd Anniversary, to our SURPRIZE, they brought us a beautiful plate with “Happy Anniversary” written on it and most (& I mean most) delicious slice of Key Lime Pie…beyond scrumptious. Would highly recommend this dining experience, Chef Robert will not disappoint. His passion for food and the delight of the patrons exceeds any place we have eaten. They even took the time for a selfie to remember the experience! Bon Appetite!

Everything was wonderful. The view, the food and drinks and topped off with great service. Nikki was our waitress and she was happy and helpful. Very polite and attentive as well. We had the Caesar Salad, the chicken entree, the scallops shrimp scampi and we’d order them all again. The virgin pina colada, Miami Vice and mojito which were great as well. At the end we were surprised with a birthday dessert complete with candle! Nikki also gave us great ideas for things to do around Marathon. We’ll be back.

The atmosphere would have been better if the sun was not setting during our 🍽️ meal. Also odd there is a pool adjacent to the restaurant but, oh well. The restaurant service was good. The fish was delish. The cost of five scallops (not pictured) were the same as a full fish 🐟, so I felt bad for my friend who had to watch me eat for thirty minutes after he had finished his dish. The shrimp tacos were solid. All was really good and the lighthouse was fun. Sunset partially blocked but still very nice.
