One of my favorite places in Lancaster. The food is always excellent. It is farm to table so the menu is always changing but I don’t think I’ve ever had anything I didn’t love. I’ve had different steak versions twice and they were both top notch. The sauces are phenomenal too. My wife has gotten the vegetarian entrees twice and both times they were absolutely delicious. Can recommend this place highly enough.

We had a rehearsal dinner with 22 people and it was wonderful. The waitstaff were friendly and efficient. The cocktails were so good and the food was delicious. Steaks were juicy and flavorful and the fish was tender with crisped skin. There were numerous gluten free options and the restaurant/parking was handicap accessible. We were so happy with everything

We went for dinner on a Monday evening at 5. We had reservations, but that was not necessary. We were the only ones there for the first half hour! Great spot for a date night or special occasion. Darker lighting with candles, peaceful music, and beautiful artwork. Then the food was absolutely delicious. Lots of unique flavors and everything melted in your mouth. Servers were nice and checked on us the right amount. Price felt accurate for the quality of food. Altogether a lovely date night!

Over the years one of our favorite places in Lancaster. We have never had a bad meal here and service is always excellent. Their outdoor dining area is unmatched in this area.

The small plates, cold and warm, were excellent. Great opportunity to share with your eating mates. Large plates were also excellent with a local flair. Cocktails were also on point. Our server, Noelle , was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our dinner tonight! My gin and Prosecco cocktail was refreshing and unique. We had the fried green tomato and shrimp & grits as starters – fresh, delicious and quite generous portions. We have had shrimp and grits so many places and by far this was one of the most unique we’ve had – I loved all the veggies! I had the trout main entree and really enjoyed the accompanying veggie salad as well as the subtle smokey poblano flavor of the gazpacho. My husband also enjoyed his chicken confit entree. Service was outstanding: our server was so friendly and attentive. They were also so kind to offer us a complimentary dessert because we were celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary.

My husband & I had a very special dinner here last night. We ordered several plates to share. The wait staff & atmosphere were Awesome! But as a meatball connoisseur, I have to let them know that the meatballs (which were recommended), were extremely disappointing. I would definitely come back, but not order the meatballs!

Was our first time there and we had a very lovely experience. Truly an upper-scale restaurant compared to what we are accustomed to. The service was extraordinary the food was very different but still very good. The menu was different in the sense that they had small cold platters and small hot platters on one side and on the other side of the menu they had entrees. To my understanding, the cold platters and hot platters are appetizers, some were truly big enough for a meal that we did not order an entree. Thanks for a lovely evening out.

It’s hard to find restaurants open in Lancaster on Monday, we found this place and were not disappointed, our dinner was 7 people and everyone was happy and professionally cooked. The waitresses are very friendly.
