john j. jeffries

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 andservicehave 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.

my husband and i were looking for amazing, locally-sourced food and impeccableservicein a location for our wedding. we were completely thrilled with the food, theservice(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!

amazing!. theservicewas 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!

my daughter and i dined here to celebrate her 21 birthday. theservicewas 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

we were sloppy-gross after several days in an 18-wheeler, but the bartendress didn't blink an eye. theservicewas attentive and delightful - a prelude to the care and focus they place on food and its preparation. the chef happily accommodated my veganity, altering slightly the vegetarian entree i had selected. the piled high vegetables drizzles in a balsamic glaze was so taste-rich, i didn't want the meal to end. and for a meal of simply vegetables, it was plenty filling, in fact, i was stuffed! the corn was so freshly off the cob that the kernals were still attached to one another and the fuzzy texture of the greenbeans reminded me that this is exactly the way eating should be. this restaurant deserves a giant "like" button!

on a scale of 1 to 10 i would give it a 7. the food was cooked perfectly, theservicewas polite and helpfull, but the taste left something to be desired. the bison steak was hot and tender, but it had a bitter, sour flavored sauce that was not very appealing to the pallet. we also had a quesadilla that was cooked perfectly, but the beef was cooked in the same sauce. overall the food was decent and the atmosphere was outsdanding. let your pallet be your guide.

i ate here once and had the most delicious steak i've ever had. took my husband back and menu had changed. did not like the steak i ordered.serviceslow and rude. rushed us through meal despite being only 2 of probably 10 customers there. would not recommend. menu very limited.
