We landed on the Lantern Inn as our late Saturday breakfast (noon) option since the chain we had planned to stop by was full with a wait. The restaurant was decently busy but we were welcomed to seat ourselves when we entered with no wait. The tables and booths seem to have decent spacing so diners can navigate the establishment without being right on top of one another. Our chosen booth was clean and well stocked (menues, ketchup, hot sauce, mustard, pepper, salt, sweeteners, half&half, whipped spread, jellies). Our server, Sheila, was prompt to greet us, take our drink order, and answer questions about the menu. Our food did not take long to arrive. Food was about on par with what I would expect from a major chain rather than a local establishment. Shreded hashbrowns were more soggy than crispy. Eggs were cooked to order and bacon was crispy. Pancakes were a bit rubbery, waffles were not as crispy as we prefer. Sheila did well checking on us, but not too intrusively, and topping off drinks if we wanted.
Parking: There is limited parking directly out front, it seems like you could potentially park near the neighboring businesses or alongside the building on the side street.
Kid-friendliness: Though there weren't "kid" items listed on the menu, our server Sheila offered options verbally.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are two stairs followed by a narrow breezeway at the entrance. Unless there is an alternate entrance I didn't see, I would not consider this wheelchair friendly.

I've been to this restaurant several time and the service was great. Today (Sunday 30, 2024) after waiting 20 or more for service at my table. Today was the worst experience with a waitress. After the waitress brought me water, I said to her, I am ready to place my order. She explained to me, she had five other tables to get. I understand that, but she added "I am gonna take my time, too." I thought that was rude. This why I gave 3 stars.
