Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ephrata

My wife and I dinned at 401 Prime on 2/15/2025 for a valentine’s date night. Steven was our server and I must say, the best experience we ever had. This was our first date night since moving to Lancaster from California and Steven made it a night to remember. Ask for Steven!!!

Everything was expensive, but it was for a special occasion, and I knew that going in. Our server, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, both in the food and preparation, and for the atmosphere. As expensive as it was for my modest income, I would highly recommend Josephine’s, even if you only go for special occasions! The food, service and experience was definitely worth it!

Typically it’s difficult for a restaurant to pull everything off perfectly.. from the moment you enter the building to the time you leave.. but The Belvie Inn did just that! The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent, our dishes were always cleared promptly & the courses were perfectly spaced that we didn’t feel rushed at any point or that we were waiting. Also- most importantly the food was outstanding. We will definitely return many times! Perfect spot for your romantic nights out!

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Everyone walking by checked in on us. The beer flight was great as well as the halibut with risotto and the chicken lettuce wraps. Beautifully decorated and a great atmosphere.

Steak dinner was cooked just right. Service was friendly and attentive but not fussy. Dark wood, red leather, and soft lighting created an atmosphere of luxury and comfort. We will be back!
