The food was so good. So good to rival even Dave’s shrimp and stuffed mushrooms. Which is a feat of grand proportions. People rave about, will travel a goodly distance and constantly inquire about when it will be made next.
Just as with Dave’s shrimp every bite of dessert is a piece of the celestial kingdom. With the limited holiday menu we ended up ordering close to everything on it.
A few good things that will come about by The Gas Lantern closing:
We will cease to spend funds there.
It will not add to our waist lines.
The rich (yummy) food will not shorten our life span.
The building was built by a local oil tycoon early last century. It was used as nurses’ quarters when a hospital was in operation next to it. The hospital is now a bank. The home had some more neat history but the web site is now down and I can’t remember it. It is still a beautiful building.
Now that we are one month into 2008, farewell to 2007 and The Gas Lantern. You were both great!

Wow. That IS sad, because that place looked great.
Fortunately we got to eat there as well and it was truly a beautiful restaurnt and had very good food. I wish now I'd eaten more.

So sad. What was even more sad was that after we got home, we realised that we forgot our leftovers. There were two very sad people that night. And somewhere, one very happy dog.
Yes, leaving the food was a tragedy. I was so looking forward to re-enjoying those scallops and shrimp in reduction cream that could make you cry.
Alright so you gotta let us know how much it cost per person. Please? Happy Superbowl Sunday! Mahana's having a Superbowl party so we're all going over there to eat fine food and watch commercials. Who really watches football?
