A new restaurant is coming to the North Shore, and it appears to have a connection to other dining spots north of Boston.
According to a source, the Red Lantern is planning to open in Marblehead, moving into the space on Pleasant Street that had been home to Mai Tai Lounge. An Instagram post from North Shore Dining indicates that the restaurant will be an Asian dining spot and that it appears to be affiliated with Gourmet Garden in Swampscott (along with other locations in the Greater Boston area), Chi Modern Asian Cuisine in Swampscott, and Ginger Cajun in Salem. Few details about the Red Lantern have been given as of yet, including what its menu might offer and when it could open, though it does appear to be close to debuting.
The address for the upcoming Red Lantern is 165 Pleasant Street, Marblehead, MA, 01945.
