Parker's Lighthouse   

Housed in an actual registered, working lighthouse, Parkers' Lighthouse is accessible by car, bike or boat. Its dark wood trim contrasts well with the stark white walls and skylights that keep the digs light and bright. Huge glass windows give you an unparalleled 360-degree view of Long Beach Bay, the city skyline and the Queen Mary. Artful presentation extends not only to the food, but even the oversized plates, which are decorated with fish. Begin your meal with starters like spicy ahi tuna and fresh crab cakes. Lunch selections such as the Chinese chicken salad sandwich and vegetable wrap are light, while dinner entrees include a grilled salmon, and shrimp and scallop brochettes. You are also likely to be tempted by the Banana Fosters sundae with rum caramel sauce or the warm Tuscan apple tart.
