    We decided to go to The Lantern as it was listed on Dineout. For starters, we ordered Chicken Shumai Dim Sums and Crispy Chilly Chicken. For main course, we had Black Pepper Chicken and Signature XO Fried Rice. The food was uniformly excellent. The quantity of the main course, especially the chicken was sufficient for 2 people. The service was exemplary. We got recommendations for the dishes to order and regular check ins on how the food was. At the end, the restaurant gave us a small cake because of the special occasion which was a very nice gesture. Overall, we had a great experience at The Lantern.

    Where do I start ? From the minute you enter The Ritz-Carlton, it's like a different world. Coming to the restaurant 'Lantern', the ambience is amazing. Sufficiently lit up to the point which does not strain your eyes. We sat outdoors and there was sufficient greenery all around and to one side of our table there was water that kept on regenerating and falling down. The environment makes you feel relaxed and calm and that is exactly what I needed after a long tiring day at work. Coming to food, it was good, staff and service were exemplary and for the pricing - it does not matter as it's part of The Ritz. Definitely, check this out !!!😃

    Nice place to visit.. the staff is very polite and helpful . The ambiance is a bit different.. the sofas are comfortable and nice... The food is good.. dimsums are good with a soft and moist skin with good chicken and prawns.. the prawns were not overcooked so that was good.. the quantity of dimsum felt less given that a serving has only 4 pieces.. thought there would be 5 or 6 pieces.. The garlic fried was okay okay.. the Kang pao chicken was good.. We had ordered lemon coriander soup which was good but just not sure if it was lemon coriander.. the bill stated lun pung.. Overall good experience and worth enjoying the ambiance and place..

    Updated 9oct22: lantern responded and will investigate my incident at the bar with the right duty manager. Therefore changed my rating from 1 back to 4 Food and service was splendid but unfortunate not entirely having the authentic flavours. Couldn't try that much as I was eating alone. Outdoor has a very nice atmosphere but I sat inside to avoid mosquito bites. Liked the Xiao Long Bao, pan seared seabass and their garlic rice. Pass the duck springroll. After dinner, I went to their rooftop bar Bang. I ordered an old fashion which was poorly made and they charged me 2 drinks instead of 1. My mistake that I didn't validate but for a high-end hotel like Ritz Carlton this is sadly ripping off clients. Charged me for a rye whisky instead of a cocktail and I paid 3000 rupies. I submitted an email about my bad experience and asked politely if the restaurant staff can direct my complaint to the right duty manager of the bar. Nada.... no response at all I'm giving a 1 star, not for the food experience which I would have rate 4. This is mainly because how they not handle post-dinner communications

    5 stars for the ambience and the exceptionally great service. special mention about Hugo chattange who took our order and made our visit pleasant and comfortable. food as well as drinks menu are vast. do check with the waiters if you want to know exactly what’s in your dish . they have a good idea of what they are serving. good to inform them earlier i you are visiting for birthday/anniversary. they make special arrangement for you on their own.

    Visited this place for the 2nd time after about a years gap and they still make good food. The cocktail with leeches was amazing. The food was great but the lava cake didn't really have lava in it. So hopefully they make it better next time.

    It was truly a luxury dining at Lantern, The Ritz Carlton, Bangalore. My friends and I came to enjoy our lunch after our Graduation was done. The ambience of this place is truly mesmerising. The staff is so professional and sweet. Art, who greeted us at the entrance of Lantern was a total sweetheart. Throughout our lunch, we were looked after very well. A special shout-out to Hugo who made us feel very comfortable and was very hospitable. The food was exceptionally good and the dishes were so exquisite and appetising. We had a very memorable time there and would love to visit again.

    The ambience of the place is amazing. The staff is extremely professional and courteous. The dishes though delicous, was visibly lacking in quantity. Understandbly the restaurant is the showpiece restaurant of Ritz Carlton, but paying 700 bucks for 6 small pieces of prawn is something which I can't condone of! Having stayed in Europe for nearly 4 years and having wined and dined at numerous luxurious restaurants, I still felt this was taking it a bit too far! But a shout out to the Chicken noodles! Those were yummy and sumptuous and felt like money well spent!

    The ambiance and service at the restaurant is top notch, but to be honest the food was slightly sub par as I found most of the chicken to be quite chewy and the honey chilli lamb to be too sweet. I would believe that for the prices they are charging the food should be nothing but marvelous but alas the I guess other Chinese places have ruined it for me

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Lantern Cantonese Restaurant, and I must say that it was an exceptional culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully decorated ambiance that exuded elegance and sophistication. The menu at The Lantern Cantonese Restaurant offers a wide array of authentic Cantonese dishes, and I was impressed by the variety of choices available. Whether you're a seafood lover, a fan of roasted meats, or a vegetarian, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The restaurant takes pride in using high-quality ingredients, and it truly shows in the taste and presentation of the food. One standout dish that I would highly recommend is the traditional Cantonese Roast Duck. The duck was perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. The flavors were rich and savory, and it was evident that great care was taken in its preparation. Another highlight was the Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger and Scallions. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the delicate flavors of ginger and scallions complemented it beautifully. Apart from the exquisite flavors, the service at The Lantern Cantonese Restaurant was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to provide recommendations based on our preferences. They ensured that we had a seamless dining experience from start to finish, which greatly enhanced our overall satisfaction. The attention to detail in every aspect of the restaurant was impressive. The presentation of the dishes was visually stunning, with each plate thoughtfully arranged to create a feast for the eyes. The restaurant's elegant decor, featuring traditional Chinese elements, added to the overall charm and ambiance of the dining area. One minor aspect that could be improved is the pricing, as some dishes were on the higher end. However, considering the quality of the ingredients and the exceptional dining experience, I believe it is well worth the value for those seeking a refined Cantonese cuisine experience. In conclusion, The Lantern Cantonese Restaurant is a gem that should not be missed by food enthusiasts or those looking for an elevated dining experience. The combination of delectable Cantonese cuisine, attentive service, and a refined atmosphere makes it a standout choice. Whether for a special occasion or a memorable night out, The Lantern Cantonese Restaurant is sure to leave you with a lasting impression.

    First time. Unimpressed. The place is cramped. We are sitting on what looks like a table arranged on a corridor with people probably going to toilets on the way. The tables are too close. One can hear other persons conversation. Cocktails are not so great. The starters were served without sauces and we had to ask for them. Food is decent and quite costly. Sorry for the terrible review but these are the facts

    The food was average and I liked the ambience of the restaurant. Food took a lot of time to arrive.

    There's better food & drinks at other restaurants. Quality of both food & drinks left much to be desired. Food: Every savory dish was thickened with flour. Except for the sweet corn soup which wasn't. The fried rice & accompanying dishes were uniformly vland. The saving grace were the Udon noodles that had some flavor & taste. Drinks: Then don't have many of the liquors mentioned on the menu. The mixers were from an unknown brand & ruined the drinks completely. Ambience: The ambience is great but the chairs were super uncomfortable.
