The Write-Up

The full story

Half market, half cafe on Country Club Road in Lake Mary, Lighthouse lets you buy fish to take home or sit down while the kitchen cooks it fresh. Guests come back for crab cakes with a crisp crust and flaky center, royal red shrimp, clam chowder, and Mom Evelyn's key lime pie to finish. The room stays casual and quaint, family run and honest in the way regulars describe as real seafood cooked for us.
