    A wonderful dining experience. The server was attentive, the food was delicious & the atmosphere had a wonderful buzz of guests chatting away, enjoying all of the cozy vibes Tin Lantern’s restaurant has to offer. The cocktails were great too! Cheers.

    We had the ribeye and the filet for dinner. Both were cooked to perfection! And the lavender lemon drop was amazing!

    Busy bar area. Tables are close together and a little noisy, dim lighting but overall experience is good, food was delicious and the service was excellent.

    We eat at the Tin Lantern regularly and last night was our usual excellent experience. we were seated promptly, the staff was attentive, and the food was excellent. We had 4 different entrees and 2 appetizers. We started with the crab cakes and the calamari. Both were tasty. The calamari had some extras that made it special. We had the lasagna with an order of garlic bread, the chicken marsala, the Mahi Mahi and, the Pork Katsu. All were so good, but sadly we did not have room for dessert.

    Deliciously crafted drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We love the restaurant's redesign since the last time we were here! It's very classy.

    This is an unexpected gem in the little village of Meadow Vista! Outstanding preparation, plating and value with an excellent menu. My rib eye was perfect and I am picky! The French Dip is a delicious and a sharable dinner. Of our top 5 restaurants, this is an easy top pick.
