What Sarah Frauchiger doesn't like about Lantern:
Everything was moderately good although a bit over salted. I got the fried cat fish curry and in hindsight might have picked something else. Very nice lighting and service. View all feedback. What AlexanderW likes about Lantern:
Server did an excellent job of describing the menu. Each dish was unexpected but tasted fantastic, we were given plenty of time between courses to drink our wine. Nothing went poorly. View all feedback.
