We tried the Iron Lantern Inn when we were on vacation in the Castleton area. There are many photos around the dining area depicting the granite mining industry in the area’s history. For privacy sake, we were fortunate to be seated at the end of a row of tables. Since the tables were so close together, it was possible to... More

They were sent back, and still came back rare and by the time we got them back our VERY tiny sides were done so we were more the... More

Went here expecting not to be disappointed and that's exactly what the chef/owner made us feel. My girlfriend and I ordered steak (she had the flat iron) ordered medium/medium well and BOTH came out rare! We don't like to send things back (who knows what they do to it ;{) but the waitress came over and saw it and was... More

They had a very good salad bar and entertainment on the weekends with great specials. It was close to the B&B so we actually went there both nights.

Two words: Salad Bar. Don't get me wrong the food is delicious, but this salad bar is something else! You'll find friendly and attentive service and a comfortable setting, with relatively reasonable prices for the area. We found most of our New England dining experiences to be a little pricy overall though.

Food was not creative, fairly basic but not cheap. Disappointing atmosphere, and overall experience. Service was ok but experience not memorable. Place was fairly busy with locals but not what we enjoy.

My husband and I ate at the Iron Lantern just the other nite. We were a little worried since when we pulled up around 5:30pm there wasn't another car in the parking lot. We were, however, not disappointed. They started us off with a complimentary plate of crackers and a vegetable cheese spread that were wonderful. He ordered the Lobster... More

When we want a great meal and wonderful service with friendly smiles, we go to the Iron Lantern! By far one of the best places to go to in Rutland county! The owners are always nice and really care about the customers, in the three to four years that we've been eating there we have never had a bad meal... More
