If we can have a Lighthouse Restaurant in British Columbia, Canada, then why not another, but different one in the USA? You are guaranteed that if it has a lighthouse theme, then seafood will be served. This one appears to have a great reputation.

The Lighthouse Restaurant of Cedar Lake, Indiana was voted “the best seafood” by nwi.com in the Times of Northwest Indiana “Best of 2012”.

Manager Rich Arthur attributes the Lighthouse Restaurant’s popularity to its fresh food and culinary expertise. “First of all, the seafood is fresh and flown in daily,” Arthur said. “Secondly, we have an incredibly talented culinary staff.”

“We are obviously also well-known for our location which is right on Cedar Lake,” Arthur said. “When the sun goes down in the summer time this is the place to be.”

The most popular seafood entrees are the Chilean sea bass and macadamia crusted walleye. The Lighthouse is featuring a new menu with a variety of flat breads, chicken Marsala, a warm crab dip appetizer and banana cream pie for dessert. A full outdoor kitchen with a separate menu, fire pits and dining on the patio will open mid-May. – nwi.com
