The Lighthouse

4 Stars.  First night arrival at Dewey Beach, came here for Taco Toss Friday and it was great.

Friday night's they have a deck party with a great view of the bay.  $1 tacos from 4-9pm, also have hot dogs, nachos and queso, taquitos (beans and rice filling), and beef sliders (2 for $3).  So you can get your fill on.  Also $2.50 beers.  They had an orange crush station with fresh squeezed OJ.  I missed out on those.

There's a dj playing music.  Its a very relaxing, cool party vibe.  We got there sort of late at 8pm.  By 9:30pm, the place really thins out after the Taco Toss is over.  This is a great place to start off the weekend with friends.

Can't wait to go back, but want to get there earlier next time.

Beautiful spot   My only complaint sitting outside was both the lighthouse and the rusty rudder which is across the parking lot were playing competing music which was annoying. The light house's sound system sounded like an old AM radio outside.

Absolutely love the restaurant/bar/food/drinks/employees. Will I be back? Probably not. It's hard to support a restaurant where the owners of that restaurant don't support their staff. I am a Lighthouse regular (being there with about four or five sometimes even more people times a week). We love the Lighthouse and their staff, from the bartenders Stuart/Tommy/Lo to their Manager Kaitlyn, to all of their servers Lindsey or Angela preferably our favorite. It's hard to see such hard working people not get support from the company they work for. With the new construction, the Lighthouse closed for the first time ever since they've opened..leaving their staff to find new jobs with less than a three week notice. Some of their employees have been working there for years and to go in, hear that they were closing...none of the staff seemed to know why or seemed to be "left in the dark" which if you were the owner, why wouldn't you want your staff to be informed of what was going on? None of them seemed to know what was going on or when they would be open in the Spring. I love the Lighthouse and I have been coming here for about eight years now, but I can not and do not see myself supporting a company that does not give a shit about their employees. I understand the owners want to make extra money with the new construction but they should not lose site of the fact that they make most their money because of what a great job their staff does. My heart hurts for their employees and wish I could tell the owner(s) (i believe there are two or three) to suck it. After losing most of their staff, they will in fact be losing MOST of their customers. Wish the employees the best of luck. I apologize about not really writing a food review, I just do not think people should support a place where the owners don't even know what's going on in the restaurant but decide to make decisions without even thinking about how it will affect their staff. Thanks for listening.

Food reviews:
The tuna is awesome. Their caesar salad is enough for two! Their burgers are AWESOME. The mussels in a red sauceand the garlic bread they give you are amazing!

Drink reviews:
Steve..and Amy's (who no longer works there)  springwater! Delicious! Believe its Citron, club soda with a bunch of lemons/limes...shaken. Very refreshing.

Atmosphere;
Right on the bay with amazing view of water! Located right next to the Rudder, kids can play on the beach while you're enjoying a few cocktails.
