I have no idea how the food is because we were never waited on. Several people, including our waiter, walked by us without any acknowledgement. They were more interested in the larger parties sitting outside. I understand places may be understaffed so I’m pretty patient. But when you don’t even say, I’ll be right with you or even look at me, I lose my ability to wait in your establishment.

First time frequenting this restaurant and we were very impressed with the quality of the food. Service was very good as well. Located in the heart of downtown Ridgefield, CT very nice locale offering both indoor and outdoor dining. We ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and tuna tacos both of which were outstanding. I really enjoyed the tuna tacos especially, they were very well prepared and seared tuna was done perfectly - a very flavorful dish. My only suggestion would be to add an option to get 4 tacos instead of just 3 and compliment the taco entree with a side salad or slaw.

We love it here. The food is delicious and we love to eat outside either under the umbrellas or on the patio. We haven't eaten inside, but have seen it and it's very nice, we just love being outside. Everyone is friendly and if you bring your dog 🐕 they will give a bowl of fresh water.

Cozy. We've been here a few times when visiting friends. Great spot before the Carnival, walkable. We like the elevated area in the back corner.

Had to wait for service at the table. They may have been a little short staffed. Burger was very good as was the margarita.
I had a fantastic meal at The Lantern in Ridgefield, Connecticut, with my mother and stepfather. We were in a bit of a rush to get to a show, but the experience was seamless from start to finish. I opted for the Cubano with fries, which was absolutely delicious. My mother had the chicken Caesar, and my stepfather enjoyed the fish and chips along with a pint of pilsner and a glass of Dewar’s—everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor.
What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made sure our food came out quickly, which was a big help with our tight schedule. We also appreciated the convenience of the QR code payment system, making checkout smooth and hassle-free.
All in all, it was a great dining experience with fantastic food and top-notch service. I highly recommend The Lantern for anyone looking for a great meal in Ridgefield!
Wheelchair accessibility: The Lantern is wheelchair accessible, with a street-level entrance that makes it easy to get inside. The space features wide aisles and pedestal tables, providing plenty of room for maneuverability. It’s a great option for those who need accessible seating without compromising comfort or convenience.

TERRIBLE. Would not recommend. Went to the bar with some of my friends and the owner threatened to kick me out of the bar if I didn’t buy a drink… I was the DD and am 2 years sober. Way to go forcing an addict to drink or leave!

Sweet place and the salmon sandwich and spinach in red pepper sauce was delicious. Very pleased with our dinner here and the young waitress made us feel welcomed.

Super yummy burger and lobster roll (and the best Arnold Palmer I’ve ever had)
