Lighthouse Point Bar and Grille: A Waterfront Dining Experience in The Villages

We stopped for a girls lunch while visiting my family. Had about a 15 minute wait which really wasn't that bad. It sits right on the water which is absolutely beautiful. The establishment was clean. Our server was very attentive and personable. We had an issue with our fish tacos and she immediately rectified the situation. The fresh muscles were fresh and tasted amazing. The Oyster Rockefeller was good but they weren't shucked great so pieces of the shell had to be taken out of your mouth when chewing. I had the beets and mozzarella dish. The beets could have been fresher. The fish tacos were really good.

Beautiful setting on the lake at Lighthouse Point. Loved sitting outside and watching the ducks and birds go by. Great food, just right portion and a nice glass of wine. The beautiful sunset was very enjoyable to watch as the evening came to a close.

We went with no reservation during peak dinner time. A long wait was expected! The staff was super accommodating, even with so many people crowded in the waiting area. It was cold out, so everyone was waiting inside. Once we got a table everything was perfect. The atmosphere was very comfortable, and the service was flawless! I had the fish tacos, and they were so good!

We've owned in The Villages for 15 years and never made it to the Lighthouse Point Bar & Grille to eat until recently. Always thought it too crowded and heard mixed reviews about the food. The Shrimp Abyss - recommended by our awesome server, Kala - was delicious as were the mussels and both were a good value. The wait was brief and enjoyable with drinks outside on the deck and our table on the water was the perfect panacea for our guests visiting from the frigid north. Outstanding service, great ambiance, food came out in a timely manner. Restaurant dining at Sumter Landing at its finest. Thank you!

First, our server Amber, was outstanding. She stayed on top of everything. We started with some clam chowder as an appetizer and it was excellent. Our entrees were grilled salmon, baked haddock, and a fried shrimp platter. My uncle and wife loved their salmon and fried shrimp meals. My baked haddock was good but a little overcooked. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the views, it was a great experience that I highly recommend.

I went to this place to watch Sunday football because it's known to be where they show the Patriots and play the sound over the loudspeaker. And that indeed they do but you better have a reserved seat. I was lucky enough to find a space at the bar to have a drink and a "meal" for the first half. The place was busy but the service was keeping up, and the kitchen and service team seemed very well coordinated. I've been here twice and have been disappointed with the food twice. I've ordered the lobster cakes for $18. I should have taken a picture because it was hysterical. I laughed when it was served along with the people sitting next to me at the bar. They were literally the size of quarters and they were only two. There was lots of flavor but no observable Lobster meat in either of them. There was some kind of sweet thai sauce which should never go with a lobster cake. Either serve it with a cocktail sauce or tartar or lemon wedge on the side. I'm from Maine and I had high expectations for that tasty treat. Bottom line is they are very busy as people flock there for Seafood as it seems to be the only restaurant in The Villages dedicated to it. My prior Vision was fried shrimps and they were equivalent to what I could get at any of the local restaurants and country clubs at a lower cost.

This is a place to go for everything you're looking for. The drink I had, a mermaid mojo was delicious. It is a bit pricey..I think that would be the only drawback, but it's not everyday you get to sit by a lake where there's gators! Well, maybe in Florida...We just loved it

Tasted amazing! Everything cooked to perfection, clam chowder was just out of this world. Service was excellent, she took such good care of my 85 year old mother who ordered the huge seafood platter and was in heaven! The you all, You made our night. We will become regulars
