parkers' lighthouse

good food, a little pricy but basically what you would expect for this type of restaurant. the calamari was delicious and we had a greatviewright by the window.

ah, the shoreline village. it's by far the nicest place to dine in long beach. and what better than to get the most priviledgedviewin the whole place? never ever had i a bad time or experience at parker's lighthouse.
their specialty is seafood, of course. and it's glorious. but take an occassional chance on their steaks, because they sure know how to cook them.
the place is extremely nice, the prsentation is nicer and their desserts are sublime. order a lot of them and try of each other's glasses. 
good wait staff, as well. ask for recommendations!

california's best oceanfront restaurants for your valentine. parker's lighthouse restaurant is located in shoreline village in long beach, and is a close 2nd of one of my favorite places. the have a gorgeousviewof the the harbor, ocean as-well. plus should you choose to sit on the 2nd floor you can see farther out to the sea. the manager, michael of the establishment told me a few years ago they have a new vast, brand new-wine cellar up-stairs. in addition to this he'd explained on the 3rd floor they have a new restaurant called: queensviewsteakhouse. thou, i've never eaten on the 3rd floor i can only imagine their entrees are as amazing as the 1st floor. i love their shrimp cocktail, fish & chips and of-course a fine glass of california chardonnay. they have an open table policy, but do except walk-in patrons. i've never made a reservation here, as i prefer to sit outside for theviewof the ocean. you can make a reservation on-line too at: http://www.parkerslighthouse.com/ the pic/below is theviewfrom outside. lovely...

splitting a plate. we stopped in and split a fantastic plate of stuffed shrimp. it was wonderful the potatoes were smooth and rich, the vegies were cooked perfectley with just that little bit of snap left in them. theviewis beautiful its just a relaxing place to have dinner especially if you are able to sit out on the patio.
