Brass Lantern Steak House

Fabulous! Shame on me for not getting the prime rib. Since I'm not a big meat eater, I chose a chicken plate that was very very good. My husband had the steak burger ( best ever). Those sitting near us had the prime rib and I was jealous. The oooh's and ahhhh's  around made it evident that we were in a steak house of quality. This restaurant is a hidden jewel located right off of Rt 95. There were many of us " road warriors" on Thursday night. We all loved our meals. Our waitress (Emily) was the sweetest and very professional. We will stop again on our next road trip

Prime rib to die for. My only complaint is that the salad bar is too small and should be placed in a way that people could be on both sides of it. Sat. night the salad bar line was to the front door and because of this had to pass, so we had no salad with our meal.

We ate here for a friends engagement announcement. Overall we were happy with the experience.

The Good:
Food-
The food was above average for the area. We got the prime rib for two for $25. In that two people get a 9oz cut of prime rib and a potatoe done the way you want it. I highly recommend the "stuffed" potatoe which is what they call their twice baked potatoe. You almost never find a restraint selling these anymore, and wow was it good. They actually cooked the prime rib right for me and my wife. I almost always end up sending a steak back as I'm picky about how I want it. The drinks were kept full and I was asked if I wanted another beer right when my glass was about empty, but not quite. Speaking of which...

Service-
As mentioned, glasses were kept full and beer was always offered at just the right time. The champagne and wines were chilled just right and not overly so. The food came rather quickly considering there was about 12 of us at the table and it all came at the same time and was all hot. This is often hard to manage, and surprised they pulled it off. The waitresses were very friendly, chatty enough to come across as friendly, but not obtrusive and annoying. They were definetly one of the highlights of the evening.

The Bad
Atmosphere-
This is the few things holding back the last star. It's kinda dim, which isn't really a bad thing, but when combined with the dated decor, it just set a bad tone to the evening before we even sat down. No place that sells Prime Rib, steak, lobster, and so on should ever consider having a plastic table cloth in the entire establishment, so very very tacky.

Beer-The evening would have been better if I had been able to have a good draft beer and not just bottled, but as their clientel seems to consist of mostly 60+, there may not be much demand so I can't really fault them for smart business moves so no one wants to drink old beer from dirty lines caused by a keg lasting way past its prime.

Overall a good memorable evening and a place we'll probably revisit.
