Master Critic Review
Lighthouse BK
8.4
Lighthouse BK is a farm-to-table Mediterranean restaurant and bar that leans into seasonal vegetables, sustainable seafood, and a serious natural wine list. The space feels casual but grown-up, with a lively bar, communal energy, and plates built for sharing rather than rigid coursing. It’s the kind of place locals use interchangeably for dates, small celebrations, and a glass of wine plus a couple of bright, produce-forward dishes.

Whole grilled fish with lemon and herbs, Roasted seasonal vegetables with labneh, Lamb ribs with spiced yogurt
