Parkers Lighthouse - (Near Long Beach, CA)

5 /5 Christopher Rocca: 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.

5 /5 Geoff Gephart: 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.

5 /5 Adam Leonard: Absolutely top notch from start to finish. Our server Vincent was friendly and welcoming. The food was awesome and as it was a warm November day when we visited we sat outside with a lovely view of the water. First ever time of trying Clam chowder - which was superb! (Not something we have in the uk!) Great visit and thoroughly enjoyable.

5 /5 john garcia: 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
