Newburyport Lighthouse

My now fiancé took me to the lighthouse to propose. It was the most romantic perfect proposal that I could ever dream of. He booked a dinner session (~5:00 pm-10:30 pm) for a Sunday in May. He had his friend arrive at 5 to set up the decorations (flowers, candles, signs) and our private hostess Pam let her up. We arrived at 6 pm and once we got upstairs, he handed his phone to Pam to record his proposal. After the proposal, we went outside on the balcony where Pam took sunset pictures of us with my ring. We then decided to order from Modern Oak Grill which was absolutely delicious. Pam was able to time out our meal so each course was ~ 20 min apart. She also had drinks in ice staying cold for us. There was also a stereo system that allowed bluetooth capacity so we were able to pair my phone and I could play a spotify playlist. Overall the location was perfect and I could not have asked for anything better. We will definitely be coming back for future anniversaries! Just something to consider: - There are many stairs and a ladder so maybe steer away from heels or long dresses (thankfully I was prewarned to not wear them haha), and if you are afraid of heights, this might not be the best place. - If you want to go out on the balcony you have to crawl through a short door so be warned - If you are tall watch your head! My fiancé is 6'3 and he hit his head a couple times on the chandelier. - there is no bathroom, we used the restaurant next door but by the time we left the lighthouse around 9:30 pm, the restaurant had closed.

We were driving through Newburyport and wanted lunch with a nice view. I called what I thought was a restaurant and in fact it was the light house preservation society. THEY RAISE MONEY FOR LIGHTHOUSE PRESEVATION. I asked if there would be a table available for four and the gentleman said yes. So we met Pam a very generous, kind, warm hearted women who loves this lighthouse. She took care of us for the next 4 hours. We walk up the lighthouses 55 steps and the up a 6 foot tall ladder to get into the top of the lighthouse.. We had an extremely excellent lunch. The plated Haddock from The Starboard Galley was great. We stayed for four hours eating our clam chowder then the Haddock and the dessert. With each course Pam emerged from the floor of the lighthouse with more food and stories. My 96yo mother Bette was able to get up and down and loved every minute of it. THIS WAS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME. ENJOY

It's a specialty restaurant up in a lighthouse. It's an adventure. Lots of stairs but very easy to get up. Absolutely beautiful view from the top and the food was excellent.

We received a gift certificate for dinner in the Lighthouse as a wedding gift last summer. We chose to book the Lighthouse for our one year anniversary. From our first contact with Jay to the end of the night of our dinner, things were great! Darya our waitress was fabulous as she served our incredible dinner from Loretta in Newburyport. The weather out of anyone's control was perfection. This is a great special occasion experience!
