I also dined during the last week of their season and the lighthouse performed beautifully. Many of their employees had left for the fall (school and visas running out) and they were as skeletal of a crew as you can imagine. I work in the service industry and I was shocked at the grace at which the staff was handling... More

The restaurant was suggested by the owners of the B&B where we stayed. In common with most of the patrons I guess we were there because of Yellowstone where every other restaurant was either mediocre or awful, probably because they didn't have to bother. The Lighthouse is a little gem, the food is good, the service is 'relaxed' but who... More

The Lighthouse lies several miles outside Gardiner, Montana in a region populated by various and abundant wildlife, and we took a chance traveling back to our Yellowstone hotel after dark. The restaurant sits alongside a rural highway, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. The interior is well-lit and full of wood and windows. Our server was a stout, friendly... More

The service was frustratingly slow but the food was delicious and the portions were large. They were getting ready to close for the season so they were out of a few items. Although it is a little bit of a drive from Gardiner, I would recommend the restaurant for the food, just don't expect to be waited on or served... More

Stayed in Corwin Springs for 6 nights to tour Yellowstone. Nice treat to have a nice restaurant so close for dinner. Ate there twice. We were there the last week they were open for the season. Food was good..waitress was not...very slow service..forgot our desert 3 times...we had ordered 2 deserts..she comped one for our long wait..and we were on... More

Maybe we just had a bad experience but the waiter we had was the worst one in my 50 + years of going to restaurants. When we were seated, we saw our waiter seated at a table with a couple of patrons chatting away. We didn't even guess he might be a waiter until after not getting menus for 15... More

Yellowstone is known for it's pristine beauty, nearly undisturbed wildlife, and terrible food. While dining in a sub-par establishment, we happened upon diners who were similarly underwhelmed with the food on their plates. They had been in the Gardiner area for a bit, and mentioned how they'd enjoyed their supper at Lighthouse. We thought we should give it a try,... More

The owners are a family from Seattle who had a place at Pike Place Mkt. Their friendliness made up for the kitchen's slowness the night we were there.

This restaurant is exactly what Gardiner needed: a great place to eat for a very reasonable price! The restaurant is located 7 miles north of Gardiner, in Corwin Springs. The staff is very friendly and helpful and, most importantly: they serve really great food! We ate here 3 times during our 10-day visit to Yellowstone National Park. The menu isn’t... More
