Used to be a great diner. Not anymore!! First couple of times we went in the past year, we were disappointed, but thought OK they are struggling out of the pandemic. We?ll try them in the fall. This past week friends went there for lunch about 12:30. We were happy to see several booths were occupied. I Ordered eggs Benedict. When it arrived with no asparagus, I asked about it, both the waiter and the hostess looked at me like I had two heads and said, we don?t ever have asparagus .?

Three friends and I went to The Lantern Diner on 11/6/2022 after being insulted by the hostess at the Waterzooi Brasserie Oyster Bar in Garden City and leaving without ordering. We had quite the pleasant surprise at The Lantern Diner. We were enthusiastically greeted and seated and a very spacious table (All four of us are on the large side). We were immediately asked what we would like to drink, and those drinks got to the table super fast. Our lovely waitress took our orders and got our delicious food to us in a more than reasonable amount of time. Between the excellent food and being treated like we were long-lost relatives, we left full and happy. I highly recommend this place!

Such a cozy atmosphere! All the staff were so nice and helpful. There are a few vegan options. The vegan protein pancakes were delicious, I can’t wait to get again. Updated from previous review on 2023-01-01

Some food is good there. The prices are very high for a diner. I got 6 mozzarella sticks for almost $20. And a brownie for 8 bucks? I can get a much better brownie at a bakery for $4 Book a table now
