Lighthouse in
Last I heard the present owner is trying to find a corporate resturant or bar to rent the building.

The footers are in place. I would imagine the building will be next.

Maybe they'll put a Sonic in that spot. Cherry limeade here I come!

A local businessman/ marina owner bought the property.Agreed! It would be nice to have a similar replacement to the Lighthouse. I really am tired of the corporate restaurant. Just ate at CD's Cafe and it was great! Maybe, something like that only a little bigger!

I LOVE CD Cafe, too.
Have you ever been to Back Creek Bistro on Dowell Rd? Wonderful food, wonderful service and a fantastic view. Hubby and I dined there last Friday night.
We haven't, but will make it a point to do so! Good independent restaurants are scarce in SOMD, so we welcome any new places! Thanks for the tip!

I really doubt if Red Lobstertail could afford that rent.

Right before the fire, my husband and I took an out of town guest to the Lighthouse. That was the 1st time I tried crab cakes and ...maybe it was the virgin taster in me that made it so delicious and wanting more...but I have tried crabcakes in other places and they have never measured up to my 1st time. I remember the server and all the wait staff were outstanding.
Shame some construction worker's tossed cigarette ruined the place (and could have taken many homes and businesses on the island if not for the water tugs)
Yep. Also, the filet mignon with peppercorn sauce was the bomb!

At first they did the pouring close to the tables and gradually backed off and away from the tables. 'Zat tell ya' somethingI was always impressed with the way they poured coffee. Wonder how many times someone missed?

Another great (sorta local) seafood place is "Jerry's", just south of PF. It is not the high-pour coffee & nostalgia of the Lighthouse, but the food is outstanding & the staff is friendly.
+1 on CD & Back Creek Bistro too. :thumbsup:
I'll admit to an Olive Garden visit once in a while & being glued to a barstool at Outback or CIP on occasion, but that is about it for the chains.

This is what I heard and since I know nothing about construction, I don’t know if it’s correct or not. I heard that the permits to rebuild were going to run out soon and so the owner had to begin construction on the footers to extend it, even though there was no immediate plan as to what was being built. Does that sound plausible?
