Lamplighter

Been the many, many times and was never unhappy with either service or food — just love their lemon chicken. Feels like you are entering a warm and cozy place where the staff is very polite and proper. Highly recommend the Lamplighter for someone who just wants a great place where it is quiet and comfrotable, a place with very reasonable prices. GREAT STAFF!!!

The 4 stars are for food only (which is the most important part of any restaurant, right?). To be honest, I was disappointed when we walked in but as we’d made prior reservations and as the greeter was so pleasant we decided to stick it out. Glad we did. My disappointments were with the tacky, outdated décor and old-​home smells… BUT… our server was very polite and professional despite it probably being one of his first days on the job (very young and inexperienced but willing to help and friendly). My first surprise was with the house red wine — a lovely, dry, fruity merlot. However, the food was a total surprise. It was soooo good. I had grilled Tilapia (it said fried on the menu but the chef happily agreed to grill it), which so so soft and well-​seasoned. I also had a lovely salad and a plate of just-​perfectly cooked brocchli. The Other Half had baked clams casino (good) and then rack of lamb with jacket potato and salad. He raved about the rack of lamb and believe me he is really, really fussy about his meat — particularly lamb. If you’re looking for good service, excellent food at decent prices Lamplighter is the one. Pity that the place needs a good spruce-​up! PS. I got a clean fork between courses — so that deserves another star *

The Lamplighter is a family friendly, professional place to dine. Located in Chester, New Jersey, this establishment overall is a good choice for a nice dinner out.
While it may not be as memorable as it’s neighboring Redwood’s Bar and Grille, Lamplighter offers a nice warm atmosphere and very tasty dishes that your family can enjoy. The staff is professional and dedicated to great service. It’s obvious that Lamplighter’s goal is to make your dining experience exceptional.
I had ordered the Lobster ravioli… the wait time was moderate, about 20 minutes. The overall quality of the food was good, however the sauce lacked some flavor. Lamplighter’s menu had some great offerings, I would like to return soon and try another dish, as I feel my visit did not fully capture the full potential Lamplighter’s has to offer.
