Lantern On 7 - Route Gateway

Had dinner on January 14, 2022. Brisket sandwich was yummy. Beet salad was confused, because the beets were bland, Too much balsamic dressing, and almonds did not go well with the beets. My husband ordered the red pepper salad. It was mostly mixed greens with very small pieces of roasted red peppers that came from a jar. Generally disappointing, except for the pesto dressing which was delicious. The crispy duck bun was dry. The sauce that came with it was drizzled on the outside of the bun, (which was a bao, and not a bun which then got all over his fingers when he went to eat it. Why the chef did not mix the sauce in with the duck is a mystery. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, but seemed generally disorganized with all hands doing all jobs. The awful, droning electronica(? house music, although turned low, was pulsing away, adding nothing to an otherwise potentially warm, high-end pub atmosphere. Hope it improves.

I live close to Lantern and lunch there 2 to 3 times a week. The food is fantastic and the service is right on. The Cubano has my name all over it. I highly recommend.

Christmas Eve early evening with a good pal. Disappointed in service and quality of food. Few diners, our service was poor at best. Food was mediocre at best. Very disappointed... sigh.
