"This was a nice spot for a sit down experience. Great drink menu. The food was good, and came out quickly. The artichokes are a great appetizer. Views of the bay and sunset were very nice. The bathrooms (which the restaurant does not control) were not very clean or easy to get to, but thats the beach for ya."

"I was very disappointed with my experience at Lighthouse Restaurant in Newport. My grandson ordered chicken strips and had already eaten about half of one before we realized the chicken was undercooked. This is a serious food safety concern, especially when it involves a child. I called over the manager, Greg, and showed him the issue. He apologized, but then simply walked away without offering any meaningful solution or showing much concern for the situation. Undercooked chicken can make people very sick, and I expected the restaurant to take the matter much more seriously. Unfortunately, the response from management left me feeling that customer safety was not a priority. I hope the restaurant improves its food preparation and customer service practices.I was very disappointed with my experience at Lighthouse Restaurant in Newport.
