Parkers' Lighthouse
Inside Parkers' Lighthouse
Parkers' Lighthouse in Long Beach offers a full-service seafood dining experience that blends waterfront views with a comfortable, polished atmosphere. Situated on Shoreline Village Drive, this spot draws both locals and visitors seeking a reliable place to enjoy coastal fare without pretension.
The restaurant’s vibe balances between a relaxed lounge and a classic diner feel, making it adaptable whether you're settling in for a casual lunch or a more upscale dinner. The bright red rooftop is a local landmark, easy to spot and a handy reference point for arriving by foot or boat along the harbor.
Parkers' Lighthouse shines most with its seafood-centric menu that leans coastal California but with a nod to more elevated dishes like Chilean Sea Bass, Oysters Rockefeller, and a variety of fresh-shucked oysters. It’s a good pick if you’re looking for well-prepared classics alongside a few standout signature rolls and elevated surf-and-turf options such as Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail. The Seafood Linguine and Warm Crab Dip come recommended by frequent diners who favor balanced flavors and generous portions.
The cocktail list also complements the seafood menu well, with refreshing choices like a Mango Mojito or a robust Bloody Mary. The staff, often praised for being attentive and knowledgeable, can guide you toward pairings or signature drinks to complement your meal, and dining here tends to be enhanced by excellent service.
For atmosphere, expect a mix of families celebrating a weekend meal, couples enjoying date nights, and groups stopping by after a day near the marina. Parking validation is a practical detail that keeps the visit feeling hassle-free, especially during busier evenings.
Desserts like Warm Butter Cake or a classic New York Style Cheesecake provide a satisfying finish without overwhelming. The menu’s size means there’s something for a range of tastes, from lighter salads to hearty steak options like the Bone-In Ribeye.
Visiting in the late afternoon through evening tends to offer a vibrant yet comfortable setting, when natural light fades into tasteful indoor lighting, and the seafood and cocktails come into their own. Whether you're wrapping up a day of boating, exploring waterfront shops, or just craving fresh seafood, Parkers' Lighthouse fits well into the Long Beach seaside scene without fuss.
