Dining Bliss at The Lantern

We had a lovely dining experience last night at the Lantern. We believe our server may have been the chef or owner. She was wearing a kitchen apron, and gave impeccable service. I have trouble not believing that we ordered the 2 best dishes on the menu. We had 1) Fried whole North Carolina flounder with garlic, chiles, tamarind, fresh lime leaf, carrot salad and jasmine rice 2) Shaking beef - seared rare Wagyu flat iron steak with black pepper, sweet caramelized red onions, watercress salad and soy-vinegar pan sauce. For drinks we had a Dark and Stormy (my regular drink of choice at Lantern) The Red Geisha which is a vodka drink with muddled strawberries. The food was generously portioned, so I'm glad I went in hungry and did not order an appetizer. My only regret was not saving room for dessert.
