    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.

    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!

    My experience on Feb 8, 2025 was outstanding. Ordered the Roasted Vegetable Pasta and my husband ordered the Crab Linguine. Both dishes were wonderful! Full of flavor and just the right portions. The servers were attentive, and the atmosphere was nice. This is a repeat restaurant for sure! Easy to get to and they take reservations!
