Lantern

Walk into Lantern and you're immediately hit with the smell of charcoal and oregano—the good stuff, not the dusty jar kind. It's unpretentious in the best way: stripped-back décor, honest portions, and staff who know their menu inside out. You'll find yourself ordering way more than you planned because everything's reasonably priced and actually makes you want to linger. The kind of place where regulars have their usual table and newcomers feel instantly welcome.
