Lantern

The wedding of Allison & Charlie was a truly elegant evening at Lantern from start to finish. The party flowed perfectly from cocktails and ceremony outside on the patio to an unforgettable meal in the dining room. There were culinary surprises-treats in every course! "Attention to detail" takes a whole new meaning when the event is intimate, and the Lantern team has the expertise and grace to deliver a 5-star evening to a party of bonafide food lovers. Thank you for having us, Lantern! Heather McKay

I have to be honest: the food quality was not worth the price that was being asked. The service was top notch. The food was good...but I was hoping for more.

3.5 stars. I ordered the hot pot but the broth was too salty for me. My first visit here so I cannot say if the saltiness is the norm. However, the quality of ingredients and the service was top notch. Will have to come back to try other dishes.

A very austere and elegant atmosphere, with phenomenal food and easily the best service I’ve ever gotten in Chapel Hill. The starters (mushroom dumplings and duck spring rolls) were extremely delicious and surprisingly generous. We did the duck breast and Japanese NY strip, and both were excellent — the sides/beds were perfect compliments to the main courses, and enjoyable by themselves. I’d like to again mention the service, as I’ve worked in hospitality and lived in Chapel Hill off and on for years: I don’t expect much, even from CH’s pricier restaurants, but our main server was on point and the other servers and host staff came through periodically to assist with refills and run food. It was just an overwhelmingly pleasant experience for a date night (hence the lack of pictures). I did take bathroom ones though, because that’s my style.
