This was our first time eating here - indeed this restaurant has only been open for about three months - and we will certainly be back. We visited on a quiet Wednesday night and although the place wasn't busy, the service was top notch throughout. We started with a prawn dish and seafood chowder. The chowder in particular was hugely impressive. This was packed with meaty hunks of fish and even a handful of mussels in a thick creamy sauce with bacon pieces to cut through the cream. Honestly it would have been plenty for a hearty lunch, never mind a starter. For main courses we had the battered haddock - with a tasty and light batter and perfectly cooked chips - and a Red Thai curry with seafood. The curry was perfectly cooked with ample fish again - and this time the addition of monkfish. The same dish can be delivered in vegan or chicken versions and doubtless would be delicious in any variant. This restaurant is a great addition to Donaghadee and hopefully will do well. They offer a dog friendly experience, kids eat free on certain nights and they have a tempting steak night on Tuesdays which we may have to sample.... Service was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic - from an owner who clearly takes pride in what she is helping to create. The other patrons all seemed equally happy and relaxed - clearly enjoying their menu choices as much as we enjoyed ours. Update - we have been back to The Lighthouse several times in the last few months and the standards remain extremely high. We have yet to have anything other than an excellent meal with superb service. Give it a try - you won't regret it!

Superb meal, booked and glad we did. Mussels starter was delicious, main of Surf and Turf was beautifully cooked, friends had the excellent scampi. Looks onto the beautiful Donaghadee Harbour.
