The Lighthouse Lounge - Spicewood

Celebrated our anniversary with a delightful meal. We sat outdoors with an excellent view. Our waiter, Austin, was excellent. You just need to find out yourself how good this place is.

A nice spot on a spur of the Colorado river west of Austin. Lovely location to sit outside and enjoy a warm Texas day with a cold drink Menu was small but adequate. Food served was excellent and the wait staff was busy but felpful.

We arrived by boat and had quite a trek up from the lake to the patio, but it was absolutely worth it! I ordered the Ship Wreck, and it was quite a unique experience. Don’t let the thought of blueberry jam deter you! The flavors come together perfectly. The portion is huge, so make sure to come hungry!

The onion rings were delicious, and the fried catfish along with the Queso Grande topped with pulled pork, guacamole, and pico was fantastic. However, the Mexican Martini wasn't very good, and the service left a lot to be desired. Our waitress initially claimed that our payment wasn’t accepted, but when she noticed me checking my mobile credit card account, she changed her story and said her device was online after all. The payment had gone through. We often had to flag her down whenever we needed anything at our table.

I had an incredible first dining experience at this lovely restaurant by the marina. The views of the water are stunning, and there's a boat slip right outside, allowing you to dock your boat and walk directly into the restaurant. I tried the 4th of July margarita, the lighthouse salad with grilled shrimp, southwest egg rolls, and the ice burger with a Beyond Meat patty. The staff—MacKenzie, Hannah, and Sam—were all cheerful and friendly.
