Excellent local fare with a coffee shop adjacent. The Light House is a social enterprise - it offers job training and transitional housing above the restaurant. The staff is great, pancakes are amazing, the price is right and some of the best chefs, restaurantuers and builders in the area donate their time, labor and expertise to make this a top local restaurant.
