Red Lantern

Centrally located and charmingly decorated, this little Chinese restaurant covers all the basics and then some. While the menu offers many standard Chinese dishes, the specialty items are truly unique. Cuisine is creative and flavorful. One signature item is the Rice in Lotus Leaves, filled with Shredded Duck, Chicken, and Ham and cooked in a Bamboo Steamer. The restaurant is in a plaza about two blocks from the most hectic part of downtown Coconut Grove. The interior features a pretty floral motif and a large aquarium.
