You might not expect a fine dining restaurant on route 9W in Milton, NY... But there is one, and you should stop by. Ship Lantern still has all the charm of its 100 year old history (and of the building's multi-century old heritage) but knows not to be too fussy.
Great food, a cozy dining room, and nearby to some amazing vineyards and orchards. (Check out Fjord and Nostrano!)

We enjoyed our dinner so much that I felt compelled to review this experience as soon as we got home. Service was attentive, warm and professional. The two servers and maitre d worked in tandem and always were available without being intrusive. The menu had so many options and all the choices seemed special. From the bread, creamy butter and tomato tapenade to the lobster, shrimp, crab, mussel, and risotto, we left fully satisfied. The dessert menu tempted us but we were so full...

Went for a birthday celebration, and everything was so good, from drinks to deserts - the steak special and French Onion Soup were particular crowd pleasers. Charming old place, with a roaring fireplace in the dining room. A Hudson Valley classic for special occasions, especially in the colder months.
