Always a good time at Tin Lantern! this place ia aways packed and reservations are needed usually. This is a great local spot with an ever-changing food menu that always has something new and exciting to try. The atmosphere is wonderful – cozy, welcoming, and just the right amount of rustic charm. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner with friends or a romantic night out, Tin Lantern is the perfect place to go. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Tin Lantern to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Meadow Vista.

Food was good. Service was lacking just a little bit. Slow to take drink orders initially. The ambiance is loud. Lots of seating inside a small area. Went at 430pm thinking it wouldn’t be so busy. Parking lot was packed and there was a good amount of people already being served. Getting in without reservations doesn’t seem likely. Filet was perfect.

They are remodeling to expand the indoor space so expect changes. We usually go early and sit at the bar and share plates; they always accommodate us without difficulty.

We tried to celebrate a birthday there last Friday and found the sound level was somewhere between a stadium and cheering fans and a 747 taking off. Three of us ordered the dried halibut I am sorry to say. We will not go back anytime soon. Oh, the calamari was good.

I have eaten at Tin Lantern maybe 20+ times and I always look forward to going there. You get great value for your money. The food is good, customer service is very good, and the bar is fantastic especially if you like whiskey at excellent prices.

Since changing ownership, the place has gone to h#ll. The only redeeming factor is the bartending staff. We decided to have dinner on a Tuesday night. The service was beyond slow & the bartenders had to help the wait staff. They wanted to charge $3.00 for “extra bread”. The quality of food has gone down hill and the prices have sky rocketed. Guess that’s what happens when you change ownership and cut costs

First time there, we did not know it was so busy. Everyone walking in had reservation but we were seated within minutes. We had one of the special appetizers of the week,burrata asparagus. It was delicious. My husband ordered the chicken pesto sandwhich and i ordered the same thing except subbed a garden burger. When it came out i was a bit taken back that is was a beyond meat burger which was an alternative option as well but i do not eat beyond meat. She told me that was what was available and i told her i could not eat it . She was so nice about it she let me keep my fries and i order the crab cakes in replace of my food. Wow those were delicious. We of course went in for desert. My husband had a flourless chocolate cake and i had an almond torte. It was amazing. We drank old fashions all night which were fabulous and had cherry heering in them. It was a great experience, highly recommend.

At Crooked Lane Brewery last night ordered a burger from the red lantern truck and emphasized 3 times, on making it extra well done. Get the burger and it’s rare (not pink, RARE). Didn’t want to deal with taking it back and waiting again. Wanted to go and throw it in their face. They did the exact opposite of what I requested.
