    The food was amazing! If you get an appetizer definitely get the Bruschetta! That was by far the best Bruschetta I have ever had. The Prime rib was awesome too. Our waiter was very good, I don’t remember his name but he was an Orioles fan like myself. He came around frequently and was very friendly. We will definitely go back.

    Enjoyed this restaurant. Service was great. Excellent cocktail menu. Husband had lobster roll and said it was great. I got the strawberry shrimp salad. It was huge. I have to say I loved the lobster bisque soup but not a fan of the salad. Definitely would go back!!
    JB Dawson's Restaurant & Bar - LancasterResponded on July 1, 2025
    Thanks for the wonderful review! We look forward to seeing you again. Sorry to hear about the salad as we have been getting rave reviews about it.

    Celebrated our 39th Wedding Anniversary—even though we put Anniversary in the Reservation online it was never acknowledged by any staff. Oh well. Still a nice meal

    Thanks for the wonderful review & thinking of us for such an important occasion!! Sorry to hear that nothing was said to you. Happy Anniversary to you. 39 years!!! Amazing.

    Great vegan Impossible Burger. The fries are absolutely amazing! We love the atmosphere here, which offers a nice level of privacy in most spots. It’s quiet enough that you can engage in conversation without shouting. Service is always friendly and attentive.
