    Ribs, boneless wings and onion rings.
    Chucky S.

    Definitely a local joint. We went Thursday night, which they have trivia night, small place loud speakers. What was cool is that you actually win stuff, from Jell-O shots to $150 gift card as the top prize. We Waited 35 minutes for ribs, chicken nuggets and onion rings?? Cudos on the ribs and onion rings though. Nuggets were meh. Service was ok. Will go again since it is so close to my home and try the burger, saw one go by and looked appetizing.

    Irish cream bread pudding

    Here for early St Patrick's day celebration. New management since our last visit. Irish car bombs great. The Shepards pie and Irish Pub fries were fantastic. The Irish cream bread pudding with Jameson caramel off the charts.

    Friday night special -full rack of ribs for $15!
    Aliya Z.

    Friday night full rack of ribs special for $15 was delicious; the ribs were meaty and tender with lots of sauce (may consider getting sauce on the side next time)! The fries and onion rings were crispy and really good. The inside is like a real tavern; dark, comfy booths and bar, with TVs and pool tables. The service was excellent and the bathrooms were clean. We'll definitely be going back.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch crusted French toast
    Michael M.

    I keep coming back and this place keeps almost making the grade. Wings were crispy and perfectly cooked but they should be served in a bowl, dripping with sauce, not laid out delicately on a plate like Lantana is now some pinkies out fine dining... Be advised : All menu prices are set at "cash price" yet paying with a card adds a 3% customer service charge to all sales...

    Chicken sandwich
    Jaci K.

    I'm not usually one for the tavern environment, but this place was pleasantly surprising! The waitress I had was probably the sweetest woman ever. She checked on us constantly, refilled our waters before they emptied, and was so helpful. I can't remember the last time I've had such a friendly hostess! The environment is also very unique. The front of the restaurant is diner style. Really gets you in the mood for a good breakfast! The second room made me feel like I was in a ballroom or a fancy room in an old film. Very simple but elegant. I absolutely loved it! The third room I didn't venture into, but it was a sports bar looking room! I think it's awesome that a spot can have so many different ambiances simultaneously. The food was also delicious. I wasn't too sure of what to order because there aren't too many photos on Yelp, so I went with the chicken sandwich lunch special. It was an actual whole chicken breast on a fresh bun, topped with a great portion of lettuce, tomato, and onion. The fries were crispy, and I even got a side of honey mustard that tasted like they make it in the house. This was a great spot for lunch and I can imagine it would be just as wonderful for breakfast or dinner. Definitely going to be back!

    Korean bbq Half Dozen Bone-in Wings

    DE-LISH! Talk about fall of the bone. The rib fingers were some of the best I've had! And the Mac n cheese tasted like it was made from scratch. Highly recommend if you're looking for a gourmet bite :) Beware: mostly everything is a la carte. We were offered celery and blue cheese with our wings thinking it was included (since we were offered) and ended up having to pay extra.

    Cereal French Toast
    Spensyr K.

    As a big fan of LILO's in Lake Worth I was excited to check out that group's newest offering Lantern Local Tavern during breakfast on their opening weekend! The hostess was very friendly and offered us the last comfy booth in the kitchen area. This area probably won't be for everyone, but i enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and seeing all the food being plated up at the window and then whisked off to its final destination. I peeked at the menu online and knew the only choice for me was going to be the Cinnamon Toast Crunch crusted French toast (the Cereal French Toast on the menu) with a sweetened condensed milk glaze generously poured on top! It was very good. I thought I'd need syrup too, but no...the French toast was well cooked but not dry and the sweetened condensed milk topping was plenty to keep it sweet and gooey (how I like it)! The menu is teasing a "coming soon" brunch buffet and all you can drink mimosas...so yeah...I'll be back for that!

    Bills flag
    Lee Ann S.

    I was visiting family in the area, and we heard that Lantern was a Bills Backers bar. Being from Buffalo, we were so excited to hear this! We stopped in for brunch this last Sunday and everything was great. The menu is large, the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. We will be back!!

    Lantern Burger with onion rings
    Martine K.

    We wanted a burger and gave this place a try. We used to come to the Hive when it was located here. The decor inside the dining area is very dark, and the chairs and tables are cozy. The bar was packed with what looked like regulars. Barbara was our server and she was great, although she didn't inform us of the mayonnaise up charge and the extra 3% service charge. The burgers came out quickly and looked good. Two slices of tomato and a nice portion of cheese, lettuce, and pickles. However, there was no sauce. I asked for mayonnaise so I could create my own sauce. I didn't think it would be $1.18 for a condiment.. oh well. Beers were cold and the onion rings I added on were crispy and tasty. The problem was the burger. It didn't have much flavor and the color of it was very light. I started to question the beef in my mind and then I couldn't eat any more. Probably a one and done for us.

It was fresh and zesty. The others loved the thanksgiving empanada which was basically an empanada with turkey and cranberry, etc. Tuna poke was also loved. The tallow fries tasty but I liked the regular ones better. But basically everyone loved all the fries. Entrees were just mediocre. The French dip would,have been nice but the beef was too thick and overcooked and the roll was thick and doughy. The cheese shouldn't be on a French dip at all, but even more so when it was congealed and not melted. Skip this one. The tacos were decent though. The snapper was really good but a little overcooked and seriously over salted. No room for dessert. Love the bar because they accommodated a silly pisco sour request with a humorous creative twist! So yes the food is uneven but I actually would go back because the apps were great, the cat was cute, the bar was clever and our server Liam was just the best.

So when friends asked if I were interested in joining them for an art exhibit, followed by dinner at Oceano, I could not say YES fast enough. I am thrilled to say the wait was worth it. All the chips fell into place when after a small wait we were seated outside (what luck), found our waiter was from Croton-on-the-Hudson (had to wait a year before he was able to land a job at Oceano), and our food was paced perfectly. Started with the Grilled Cucumber Salad that included sumac-labneh, medjool date, berbere spice pickle, pistachio, and the Sugar snap Pea Salad of rhubarb, pecorino, stracciatella, mint, lemon, marcona almond. Next up, Pizza! Had to of course start with the Straight Shooter Pizza which was a simple pie of tomato, mozz, basil, pecorino, good olive oil. Pizza #2 was the Zuchinni Pizza, a white pie of hazelnut, lemon, asiago, mozz, parm, stacciatella. To round out the meal we had the Gnocci Sardi. This was an utterly delicious bowl of pasta that included duck confit, morels, peas, parm, creme fraiche, fines herbs, wild ramps. Super meal with smiles all around. There are two restaurants I feel are super deserving of a Michelin Star in my area, and Oceano is definitely one of them! Not super close to me, but I see a few summer nights at the bar with a salad, pizza, and glass of wine in my future.

The ambiance is about what you would expect from a sort of upscale fast food venue. The graphic wallpaper is a little out dated in my opinion, however, there is plentiful seating. I ordered a seafood egg roll and a bbq brisket egg roll with an Arnold Palmer. The egg roll itself is just about the perfect amount of crispy yet flavorful. The seafood supreme is well portioned with shrimp, imitation crab, and some lobster. Paired with a "yin-yang" sauce I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely order again. The beef bbq brisket egg-roll in my opinion did not really do it for me. There was not the biggest portion of brisket within and i felt that it was more mac and cheese than brisket. It was also topped with a sweet golden bbq sauce which in my opinion would have been better if it was not as sweet and a bit more tangy.

Lately though, they've been bland, a little greasy, and just not what they used to be. Even the sauces taste different. You can tell something's off, whether it's the ingredients or the prep. It's disappointing because you can see the potential is still there -- the place is clean, the team works hard, and the presentation is still solid. I really hope they get back to the quality they were known for, because Boynton could use that version of World Famous EggRolls again.
