We love the fillet of flounder sandwich as well as the fried chicken sandwich we asked for french fries to be cooked crispy and they absolutely were. Carrie is a great server. We look forward to coming back soon.

Chef Daniel and his culinary team sets the bar so high for Lancaster restaurant scene. The food is amazing. The decorations in the restaurant is very welcoming, upscale, and holiday spirited. Our waiter was friendly and the staff cleaned the empty plates quickly. I will go back again!
