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. ilovethis place...loveitloveitloveit.

best appetizer i have ever eaten!!. the crispy bork bellyloveis 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.

best restaurant ever!!. hands down this is our favorite restaurant! the food is always amazing. iloveit 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.

best in lancaster. amazing food, great wine, great beer (ilovethe bar), beautiful patio, wonderful service: this restaurant is in a class above most local restaurants. the food is almost all locally-sourced, this with the menu's interesting selections (try "the truth") makes every meal here some of the most flavorful and enjoyable dinners i've eaten.

fresh & unique. my wife and i eat here often because they feature the three things we appreciate the most in any restaurant - great food, awsome wine and a friendly knowledgeable waitstaff.

the food is always fresh, local and usually organic. the menu is constantly changing to take advantage of seasonal offerings by local farmers. eveything is worth eating a second time but we are especially fond of their fish, pork, soups and small plates.

their wine list is not exceptioanlly deep but the breadth is amazing. we find their pinot noirs to be exceptional.
good stemware. check out their selection of organic offerings.

the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. we especially enjoy the bar-staff and eat most of our meals at the comfortable and large bar.

they have outside dining and often feature great musical groups. you willlovethe decor - tobacco warehouse - hard surfaces - very urban.
