Went with some friends , as had checked the reviews . The place lacks atmosphere , but is a nice looking environment . Our starters and drinks were good . I am a vegetarian , and there was only one option , which was spinach and ricotta tortellini , I think it was £15 , so thought it would be freshly made . Sadly , it was not !!!
It was dumped with some peas and spinach in a watery , tomato broth . I can make a lot better .
My husband ordered the steak for £22 and the chips were so greasy , he does not like to complain , but I wish he had told me , as I would have sent them back, he got heartburn

We went here for a birthday dinner. The interior is quite nice and spacious (at least when it's only half full, as it was when we visited). The wine was so-so, and the mains a bit drab. I had to order a side of veg to make mine feel like a proper curry, rather than just rice and salmon with curry sauce on top. The veg that was in there (some red pepper) hadn't been sliced up enough for the curry to be eaten with the spoon provided, which was thoughtless. The wine was average, but the white chocolate pannacotta was actually flavourful.
The service was quite poor, though. As it was quiet

A nice locals kind of spot just off Wimbledon Village. Enjoyed the seared scallops as well as the Lemon Sole & Smoked Salmon ballotine as starters. The chicken was good but a bit too savory (beefy?) flavored for my taste. The menu didn't include some of my favorite dishes from this place like the grilled tuna but it was fine if not overly inspired.
Worth visiting and among the choices at Wimbledon would have to be considered among the best in show (altho Thai Tho up the road, is the Blue Ribbon winner)

Although I agree with the other comments on the decor of this restaurant and the friendly staff I am afraid that I was not impressed with the food.
The starter was delicious, no complaints.
The main course, a Veal dinner came out on a bed of noodles?? Not written on the menu, and the veal itself was deep fried! Tough and tasteless.
Now on to the dessert, Oh My! Two biscuits, three small cubes of fudge and 3 small pieces of truffle chocolate. It looked like they had been taken out of a chocolate box and a fudge bag and placed on a small dish which was then placed in larger dish and I was given a

I thought it was about time I wrote a review about one of my favourite restaurants. I have been to the lighthouse many times. Booking is essential as this is a popular place.
The décor is modern and spacious. The tables are placed sensibly making it easy for all diners to feel comfortable. You are not going to bother anyone else.
The one thing that is probably that makes this place stand-out from others is how child friendly it is. We went there with our 2 year old, who turned her nose up at the pre-prepared food we had for her. We asked for a child's portion of something from the main

As its name suggests, Lighthouse is bright, light and fresh. The restaurant itself is airy and modern and there is a lovely courtyard area too.
The menu, which changes every fortnight, is Italian-influenced with a contemporary twist and uses seasonal ingredients to create inventive dishes. I think this sometimes means the food is lacking in identity but does that matter if it tastes good?
The staff are very friendly and the waiting staff really know about the food. I once went here when I was pregnant and the staff were very clued up about all the unsuitable items on the menu which in my
