    Lantern House & Bar is such a charming addition to Reston! The décor is beautiful—warm, modern, and inviting—making it the perfect date spot. It strikes that nice balance of feeling a little fancy but still totally comfortable. The restaurant isn’t huge, but there is enough space for small parties, so it works well for intimate gatherings too. Their drinks are super cute and genuinely delicious. As for the food, the Mussels Royale is an absolute must if you’re a mussel lover—the sauce is seriously to die for. The bread is crunchy (almost too crunchy), so I personally wouldn’t mind it being a bit softer, but the flavor combination still hits. The summer rolls are fresh and tasty, and overall, the menu leans toward Vietnamese fusion. It’s not 100% traditional, but the flavors are enjoyable, and you can still find classics like pho if you want something more familiar. Service is quick and friendly—our food came out in about 10–15 minutes, which is perfect for a relaxed night out without waiting forever. Overall, a solid four-star spot with great vibes, good food, and insta-worthy drinks. Perfect for date night or a cute evening with friends!

    The food is pretty good, not great.. could be seasoned more. The cocktails were too expensive for the mix. My smoked old fashioned had little flavor. The service was very pleasant.

    We have had excellent takeout from Lantern House twice this month. So glad we found them! I have not seen the restaurant, so cannot rate the atmosphere, but it looks nice in photos. We’ve tried the pho, red curry, shaking beef, ginger chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls (had takeout for a group). All great

    Unreal food, and amazing service. They took me and my friends in late evening after the grill had technically closed. Good people, come here and eat!
