- DMDaisyMaePhiladelphia / New Jersey Suburbs •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat ambiance. Food and drinks were delicious. Definitely more expensive, finer dining experience. Very much enjoyed our dinner there and would go back for a special occasion. The only thing I would appreciate is for them to label items on the menu as Gluten Free/Friendly, so you're not left guessing or having to ask.More infoJosephine'sPrice: Expensive• French• Lancaster•4.9
- AAquavitvipChicago / Illinois •63 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoExcellent food. Their usual flawless service was a tiny touch off due to two very large groups and a VERY busy Friday trade… including the Central Market across the street. I have dined numerous times and service is always five star!!!More infoC'est La ViePrice: Moderate• European• Lancaster•4.7
- OTOpenTable Diner1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe Belvedere Inn has got to be one of my favorite places in lancaster for a nice dinner! Our waiter, Jimmy, was outstanding and made us feel very welcomed. The food was out of this world. My partner got the Duck and I got the Halibut. Normally, i’m not a big halibut fan, but my friend recommended it to me and i’m so glad she did. Overall, It was absolutely wonderful.More infoBelvedere Inn Restaurant and BarPrice: Expensive• American• Lancaster•4.8
