My husband and I were greatly disappointed in the restaurant. Lake Forest is such a beautiful suburban community. However, we found this restaurant to be in need of major remodeling. We were also surprised at the low quality of the food. The onion rings were so greasy and heavy! The baby back ribs were tough and grisly. Our waitress very unfriendly and had a poor attitude. Needless to say, we will not be returning, even though this is right in our community!

This is a great little restaurant in the heart of a beautiful little town. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. It's a nice place for families who want to escape from the tension of some of the more upscale eateries in town without sacrificing on a good experience.

The Lantern in Lake Forest serves the best burgers around...along with great daily specials. A diverse menu, with lots of food for every taste. A fun atmosphere and great sports memorabilia hanging on the walls, along with the trains that cruise overhead in each dining room. I especially like the salad selections, the ever changing spring, summer, fall, and winter food selections. Lots of drink specials. The owner makes you feel your among family.
