"We wanted to like this restaurant. It's attractive, and the menu is a little different from standard fare. Disappointment began with the hostess. Our reservation specified a booth. She asked if we wanted a booth or a table, not bothering to read the note. She led us to a booth in the bar which was being cleaned, and, rather than asking if we wanted to wait, led us to a small corner two-top in the corner of the bar. The waiter was fine--when he was there, but was also the bartender, and spent most of his time setting up the bar. The manager, when not talking to one table he apparently knew, stood at the bar talking to the bartender. We both ordered soup, which wasn't bad, although I was served the wrong soup, but since no one asked how it was, I ate it. We had no napkins or silverware--the person delivering the food brought napkins after we asked. Later, the waiter brought silverware. We both had sandwiches. My wife's Fried Green Tomato BLT had minimal bacon, and the basil aioli was so heavy she had to scrape some off. My chicken salad had big chunks of chicken, but not much more--a rare case of Southern food needing more dressing! My wife's fries were coated with salt. When she remarked about it to the waiter as he cleared a plate with two-thirds of them remaining, his response was that they're usually not that heavily salted, period. The manager was apparently too busy to come over after the comment, or at any other point."

"UPDATE Was personally contacted regarding my unpleasant visit (see below), by ownership via messenger and phone. I received sincere apologies and was graciously invited back. Reserved table and all. We were treated very well and everything was GREAT. Overall this experience is one out of many where the customer is treated with value and I can't thank you all enough. To add, this visit happened to also be my mate's birthday and we had a great time thanks to the staff at The Light Horse. See you guys sometime soon!! Original Review My girlfriend and I tried The Light Horse recently, during restaurant week 2022. Nice setup and things were going smooth...until a hair was found in the appetizer. Bothered by that I mentioned it to the server and he told the bartender. I was more disturbed that I didn't notice immediately. I was told no manager was available and the not much could be done at the moment. At that time the bartender offered to refill our mixed drinks...I said that's fine. We go on to continue our dinner and dessert. I tried the cheesecake. After 1-2 bites I look close....and another hair was found. I stopped immediately and called the bartender, who was serving us at the time. He apologized and offered contact info so that I could speak with an owner or manager. He brought the bill then explaining that only 1 of the 2 drink refills he offered would be on the house. I didn't request it...he offered when the 1st hair was found...to then charge me for it. I sent a message via FB chat and I called a few times only to be hung up on every time. Not such a good time but I believe it will get better. Hopefully someone calls me soon. I paid my bill though I thoroughly was disappointed and dissatisfied."
