john j. jeffries

romantic getaway. was extremely romantic. gave us complimentary champagne because we were celebrating an anniversary. food was absolutely worth the price. was a little noise, and dark. beware the menu is limited becasue it is farm to table. my new favorite go to restaurant.

small plates. inventive food and so very good. prices are reasonable!!! the four of us had soup and small plates, dessert and coffee. we'll be back.

this was an excellent dining experience. the food was well presented, flavorful and perfectly cooked! heaven to the palate! lol.

service outstanding.

we travel and eat out a lot. this meal was worth every dime! $66. for two. included two entrees, dessert & coffee. no alcohol.

why do you not have live music? the restaurant is a perfect venue for acoustic guitar.

the whole experience at jjj was wonderful. i need gluten free and mostly have mediocre experiences but not here!nice choices all around for our group and terrific food. have recommended jjj many times and always enjoy our dinners here.

great food, nice atmosphere, good service. this was my fourth visit to this restaurant. as always, it was a very enjoyable evening. the menu satisfied the highly varied tastes of my family. the food and service have always been excellent and the prices reasonable. i highly recommend john j. jeffries. the ability to make a reservation (and modify it to add a person) through urban spoon made reservations simple and added to the enjoyment.

waited too long to try this place!!. excellent service, excellent food. the atmosphere is relaxing. waiter was well versed in their selections. serving size was nice too! went here for our anniversary and turned out to be one of our best!! i had the duck, my wife had a filet. food was fresh and cooked perfectly! you'll be seeing us back at jjj!!!

steve & matt are great bartenders. food is amazing! we had a fabulousness time!

go here for the small plates. i must admit....i've never had anything but their small plates.... and they are easily among the most creative and glorious bits of food around. the surf and turf appetizer (if you're into raw meat) will knock you over. the jim bim bop (a variation on a korean dish) is a joy every time. i love this place... love it love it love it.

my husband and i were looking for amazing, locally-sourced food and impeccable service in a location for our wedding. we were completely thrilled with the food, the service (particularly kim and derek were incredible!), and the beautiful building was not only gorgeous for our pictures but made for the perfect setting for the celebration of our special day. the chefs and manager, ladan, were so accomodating in making our event perfect. the chef paired wines with our dinner selections. we were able to relax and enjoy our guests and the meal, which was most important to us. incidentally, our guests raved about the appetizers which includes chile rubbed steak tips, cornmeal fried oysters, and large sea scallops wrapped in bacon along with a selection of local cheeses. since it was february, the chef worked with us to plan the perfect soup for the season: we landed on butternut squash and bacon bisque. we are pretty sure bacon makes everything better! for our main course, we opted for a choice of steak or grilled chicken. everyone commented on how perfect both were! dessert was a choice of creme brulee or chef brian burton's chocolate cake with almond butter frosting.

from the beginning to the end of the evening, we enjoyed it all. if you're looking for incredible food that you know you can trust paired with flawless service, we highly recommend that you choose john j. jeffries for your special event. we are also looking forward to the next time we can enjoy dinner together there!

i have a mixed reaction to this place. the reception area was awkward. we stood, seemingly in everyone's way, while the two hosts were trying to solve the mystery of taking someone's reservation over the phone. the food itself was ok. my shrimp and grits appetizer was delicious and complex, while my fiance's mushroom bisque was velvety and deep in flavor. however, our entrees were mediocre. his duck was fatty and my "pork" was actually not available, so i was given very masculine ribs, which our waiter failed to mention. dessert was pretty decent, but the best part of the experience was watching people try hard to look natural in the silver spoon setting.

best appetizer i have ever eaten!!. the crispy bork belly love is probably the best thing i have ever eaten. period. i would drive way out of my way just to come eat this appetizer. matter of fact, i might go back tomorrow and order it for app, entree and desert. it is that good. it is served on a johny cake which is lightly drizzled in maple syrup. this by itself was excellent. on top of they johny cake is this delicious, melt in your mouth, cruchy on the outside, thick piece of pork belly, fried to perfection. words can not adequately describe the amazing combination of sweet and salty goodness that was in each bite. an absolute must try if any where in the area of lancaster. steak tartar was also very good. the servers were excellent, the ambiance is excellent for a romantic dinner. i will definitely be gong back.

amazing!. the service was great. the drinks were delicious. the food was phenomenal. i don't have a bad thing to say about this place!

i got one of the daily specials and it was to die for!

best restaurant ever!!. hands down this is our favorite restaurant! the food is always amazing. i love it that when i leave i feel good and not bogged down like other places. the staff is always formal and friendly. i appreciate that they serve only local foods and fair trade coffees.

my daughter and i dined here to celebrate her 21 birthday. the service was friendly and attentive. the pork belly appetizer is worth the experience. the creme brûlée was perfect. our choices of entrees were not as impressive. the vege empanadas were dry. overall a definite good choice for dining in lancaster amongst a growing number of high end establishments
