The Lantern Rooms in Canberra is a pleasant little restaurant offering a creative take on traditional local Chinese cuisine. The atmosphere is understated, and the service is outstanding with friendly staff engaging in playful banter. The banquet menu offers a mixed bag of dishes, with outstanding entrees and desserts, while the mains range from average to great. While some diners were disappointed by the lack of options for dietary requirements and undercooked fish, others enjoyed the blend of Australian and Asian flavors. The restaurant is well-known for its tasty and well-balanced meals, making it a great choice for a special occasion or romantic dinner. The exotic ambiance and attentive staff make for an enjoyable dining experience, with memorable food that some patrons still enjoy the next day. While the prices may be on the higher side, regulars speak highly of the quality of food and service, recommending the Lantern Rooms for a unique and delicious dining experience.
