Great place to dine. Friendly cool service, very attentive and listens. Full course meal, from appetizer to salad, then soup, then meal, like holy moly, we loved that, that’s what we love about dining out. We sat outside and ate our dinner, it may be loud for some people with the traffic, but we were so focused on our date night, and our meal, my Papi forgot he ordered mushroom and onion with his steak. We’d definitely be back again.

For years, I had driven past this restaurant in the morning saying to myself I wanted to try it, so tonight I took the family and tried it and loved it. Unlike Nick's, it's not either soup or salad. You get both with your meal. We ate like kings. A beautiful chopped steak and mashed potatoes. You even get cheese and crackers to start off with. Our waitress was awesome, too. The best part you won't lose your wallet there. Very reasonable for what you get. You won't leave there hungry. They even have things like frog legs but it's not my thing.

It was our first time eating at the Blue lantern. We both had Hispanic food It was delicious. The best thing of the restaurant is we had the best server ever She was tiny with white hair and so helpful and fast You think she was a teenager she moved so fast. It was a great experience I will go again and try a different menu

Best liver and onions around, bar none! The chicken noodle soup was quite delicious as well.

Everything from start to finish was fantastic as well as perfect portion sizes. We both had the beef stroganoff, which came with 3 courses. A salad, soup, and main course with potato side dish. Course timing was perfect throughout the meal!

This is not the place for a quickie, definitely not a fast food joint. Expect to pay a higher price for better quality and service.
