Came here on a freezing cold Tuesday afternoon with a couple coworkers for lunch looking for a hot meal and I was not disappointed! The Red Lantern is a must try for anyone who lives in or frequents the area and is craving bar food.
I'll admit, the interior isn't the most glamorous when you've got white paper balls adorning the industrial ceiling but that's beside the point. The food, service, and prices are what makes this place a 5-star in my books.
On special that day was their handmade pizzas with your choice of two toppings for $10.95 and knowing me, I'm a sucker for pizza. I topped up the pizza with chorizo and onions. The pizza has the perfect thickness - you know... the one that is still crispy when you bite into it, but strong enough to hold the toppings. The ingredients taste fresh and it's not overly oily.
Our server was really nice - very welcoming and attentive considering they were tending to pretty much the entire restaurant (albeit it wasn't too crowded).
Was it worth the finger-freezing, cold-inducing trek? My coworkers and I definitely think so.
