Blue Lantern Inn
Recently re-opened in 2007, a local landmark has been re-imagined as an upscale bistro by new owners Tom and Donna Pease. While the exterior of the building remains the same the entire dining room and kitchen have been renovated. The atmosphere remains cozy and the food has taken a step up in quality and price. The revamped menu isn't the only reason to give the "new" Blue Lantern a try. Live music and eclectic events like a weekly Martini contest make this quaint and quality eatery a destination not to be missed while in the area. Be prepared for a wait for a table on weekend nights when the Blue Lantern is most busy.
