Took my parents & a few friends here about a week ago (Mother's Day I suppose), had an amazing seat with beautiful sunset views. Ryan was our server was incredibly accommodating from the moment we got there, delivered perfect service, and was available but didn't linger. Food was incredible- I'd wait in a line for the ahi stack or shrimp... More

Very comfortable patio over looking Oceanside harbor. Great menu selection with fresh fish & fresh seasonal vegetables. Prices are good for the value. Good wine & beer selection. Best part- patio heaters so you will always be warm regardless of time of year!

Not sure I spelled that right but the ciopinno is so so good here. Nice assortment of fish and shellfish in a perfect tomato broth- not too thick, not too spicy.

Who would have thought?! This great little restaurant with a wonderful view of the marina served up the best sweet potato fries with our equally great chicken, bacon, avocado sandwich. Wouldn't change a thing on either... They were both great!

This is another outstanding eating establishment located in the Oceanside Harbor area along the beach. Food is excellent, and the atmosphere is superb. Great place for the family to get their share of seafood.

My lunch buddy and I went here for the first time yesterday. We decided on this restaurant presumably to eat outside on a gorgeous day over looking the whole marina. But upon arriving decided the cool breeze was a bit too cool so we ate inside. It's actually upstairs in the lighthouse. They do have an elevator for those of... More

No trip to the harbor is complete without oysters and seafood at the Lighthouse Oyster Bar. I am getting anxious to go back just thinking about it! The food and the service is always good. I love this place. Make sure you don't miss it.

Food is good, a little pricey and service is a hit and miss. The view is great and you can sit out on the upper patio and overlook the harbor and boats

We went for al little snack. Oysters on the half shell were fresh and good. Clam chowder was tasty but a little thin. The service was friendly and attentive. Nice view. We will go back while we are here and try something else with the oysters.
