Ship Lantern Inn

Cool spot for dinner- nautical themed. Good food, we had risotto, salmon and the kids had Mac and cheese. The coolest part is the interior of the restaurant, the fish pictures and such.

I love this restaurant. My meal was perfect. We went there for a twilight dinner and I ordered a petite filet mignon black and blue. It was perfect, but much larger than I thought it would be. My husband ordered a pork chop which he thought was fine, but nothing special. The onion soup was classically made, so I was very pleased, and there wasn’t a crumb left on my husband’s baked clams. The bread came with butter and a delicious companata. I mistakenly forgot to ask for salad dressing on the side, so I gave most of it to my husband. The almond torte was rich and scrumptious. The raspberry sorbet was a great way to end a meal. The service was excellent and the ambience delightful. I only wish my husband ordered something else.

I drove past the restaurant many times over the years and skipped it because the sign turned me off. I always thought it was a diner or a restaurant of that sort. About a month ago I went in and it has become one of my favorites. The service is impeccable and the food is very very good. I’ve had the prime rib twice and we have tried other dishes. They have live entertainment with light music. I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our dinner so much that I felt compelled to review this experience as soon as we got home. Service was attentive, warm and professional. The two servers and maitre d worked in tandem and always were available without being intrusive. The menu had so many options and all the choices seemed special. From the bread, creamy butter and tomato tapenade to the lobster, shrimp, crab, mussel, and risotto, we left fully satisfied. The dessert menu tempted us but we were so full that we promise to come back again to try them. The atmosphere, with the fireplace and cloth tablecloths and flowers all added to making our 50th wedding anniversary dinner so special!

A group of us went for restaurant week. The bartender was great, fun and knowledgeable. The wait staff excellent. We all enjoyed what we ordered and will return. I took the photos after having some!
