Billy's Lighthouse

This small-town lakeside joint is quickly becoming a small-town lakeside dining destination. Billy’s dramatically upgraded its almost twenty-year-old self with the arrival of chef Casey Leick, formerly of the 510 Restaurant. While the classic prime rib dinner and Lighthouse burger remain on the menu, they’re now joined by sauteed calf’s liver with onions and smoked bacon, linguini with wild mushrooms and goat cheese, and steamed Prince Edward Island mussels in an apple cider broth dotted with tangy Gorgonzola. The “Down Under” burger bar/game room in the basement offers a good time and good eats for Vikings fans, but its denizens are in danger of losing their parking spots–the amazing hazelnut-crusted rack of lamb upstairs is drawing a whole new crowd. 1310 Wayzata Blvd. W., Long Lake; 952-473-2455 CLOSED
