Amber Lantern Restaurant

Had our company holiday dinner on a Tuesday evening. “Someone back there knows what they’re doing,” was the best comment I heard someone at the table say, and I think it perfectly sums up how great the food was. Oysters were great, calamari fried perfectly, spinach and artichoke dip was cheesy and had plenty of spinach and artichokes. I cannot say enough about how wonderfully flavored my lobster tortellini was with PLENTY of tortellinis and more lobster than you could possibly imagine. Every entree on the table was PLENTIFULLY portioned. Genuinely felt the prices per plate were more than justified based on how delicious everything was and the portions they served. Lemon Berry mascarpone dessert was amazing, wish I had listened to our server when she said it was her favorite. Had to steal bites from my colleagues. Key lime pie was good and everyone who had any leftovers whatsoever, took them home. Shout out to our server who was stellar, thanks for the great service.

Went here for the Misses' birthday dinner. ???? ordered crab stuffed shrimp and the lamb. It was amazing! The spinach artichoke dip w/ crab lumps was also amazing however it said served 4-6 people and I don't see how it serves 6 people. I guess if you went with true portion size maybe.

I've never had anything other than a great experience and really need to go back soon. My wife and I were here Jan 10. We sat at the bar as we usually do. There was some kind of event going on and they were pretty busy. We had cocktails, an appetizer and entrees. Given the prior top quality experiences, our expectations are high. We were not disappointed. The service from the time we were greeted at the hostess stand through the evening was incredible. Shelby took great care of us while also tending bar and even though it was super busy she handled it like an expert. The teamwork and positive attitudes among the staff was impressive.

We loved this experience and will most definitely be back! Presentation was beautiful, everything was perfectly cooked to order, and the flavors were robust. We ate everything on our plates, and then somehow managed to eat the death by chocolate cake. Some of the best food I have enjoyed in Chesapeake!

Our first time visiting was for New Year's Eve! We were so pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere. Great place for celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or just a date night.
