Amber Lantern Deli - Chesapeake

We celebrated our 30-year anniversary tonight. wonderful food and service. recommend sea snails for appetizers and crab cakes for entree.

Everything was awesome. The service, food and atmosphere.

Consistently good food and service. Private rooms available for large groups. Indoor and outdoor dining overlooking the water and marina. On-site parking, ability to make reservations in advance, tableside bread service and full bar. I recommend the crab stuffed shrimp, scallops, and chocolate cake.

Great dinner tonight. All fresh and delicious. Our service was great. It was a wonderful date night.

Visited this restaurant on Oct 8,2021. Party of 8 celebrating my sister n laws 40th birthday. We had a 5:30 reservation. We arrive on time and we’re seated right away (place is empty) order a round of waters , 3 draft beers and 2 mixed drinks. We were not really in a hurry but noticed everything we ordered took a lil while for a place that was empty. When the drinks finally came we ordered 3 appetizers, which came out pretty quick. And that was the end of the great night. When the server came back we ordered entrees and asked a couple of questions about the menu- she had no clue about any of the entrees. We ordered anyways. Finished the first drink and really wanted to order a SECOND drink which didn’t happen for awhile. All 8 meals come out and one of them had the wrong side- no big deal. She said she would bring out the correct side and all is good- never happened. Started to eat, noticed that all 3 of the Angus NY strip steaks were very bland with hardly any flavor, mentioned it to the server we get a shoulder shrug and walk away. At this point it was a domino effect. Still hadn’t seen the second round of drinks yet and not once offered to speak to a manager. She brings the round of drinks WITH the checks. Feeling really dumbfounded at this point. Posted a review on FB and the “owner” as was said went back and forth with us instead of professionally contacting us to talk about it. Three of our party are business owners so we are more likely to let things go but this was beyond ridiculous. Do NOT, repeat NOT recommend this restaurant.
