Editor's Note: Lighthouse is now open on Mondays. Every time Monday rolls around, we want to eat at Lighthouse. We’re ready to invent a Perfect For: Mondays category because of Lighthouse. There’s just one problem. Lighthouse is closed on Mondays. It’s kind of like finding out that someone you thought you liked is a plane clapper. The pilot can’t hear you. And he’s not one of the Wright Brothers. That almost-dealbreaker aside, we can confidently say we’ve found our favorite spot to spend all other weeknights in Williamsburg. A triangle-shaped space on the corner of a mostly-empty block, Lighthouse is covered with giant open windows that let in tons of natural light and breeze. There are always people here, but never any crowds. The place feels like it belongs somewhere else - like a place where people don’t sometimes pee on sidewalks. But it’s not just the atmosphere that makes Lighthouse feel like the exact place you want to be at the end of your day. You want to be at Lighthouse because the food is absolutely excellent. It’s the kind of fresh, sort of healthy stuff you’ve seen around town: grilled vegetables, ceviche, octopus, chicken - but done much, much better than usual. There’s even a destination-worthy burger. Lighthouse isn’t just another Williamsburg spot that uses “local” ingredients, has an oyster happy hour, and serves “interesting” wines. Lighthouse does all those things - but does them with real intensity. Their ingredients aren’t just fresh - there’s apparently a guy named Carlos who brings Lighthouse its chickens straight off a farm every two days. Their happy hour isn’t just a good deal - the wine glasses on special are from whatever bottle happens to be open, giving you a chance to try stuff you otherwise might not. And unlike a lot of casual-seeming places with not very casual prices, everything at Lighthouse is actually affordable. Lighthouse doesn’t just talk the talk. It walks it, too. If you don’t live in the neighborhood, you might not think to trek to Williamsburg on your usual weeknight for chicken, or a burger, or grilled vegetables. But this restaurant is a reason to reconsider. Lighthouse doesn’t settle, and neither should you. See you on Tuesday.
