    We were very disappointed with the food and the service. Had to wait 45 min for our order when the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time. The food quality is below mediocre and doesn’t justify the high price.

    My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the value was great. We were exhausted from traveling and our waiter sensed that and had us in and out quickly. Our server was available without rushing us and we left very happy.

    Steak was overcooked, other than that everything was very delicious 🤤 will definitely go again.
    JB Dawson's Restaurant & Bar - LancasterResponded on February 22, 2025
    Thanks for the very kind 5 star review even though it sounds like we didn't deserve it. Sorry to hear about your steak but we are super happy that you loved everything else. We look forward to serving you again. Please expect food & service to be great on all of your future visits.

    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!
