Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lancaster

Our first time here. Our server, I believe her name was Elizabeth?, was outstanding! The food was New York level cuisine. We enjoyed the Pimento crab dip to start, very good. We both chose the salmon w/ the chorizo rice. We ordered the salmon medium rare, hoping for the best. In our experience, I'd say we get the right cook about 75% of the time. Ours were spot on this evening and absolutely delicious! We shared the chocolate rocher for dessert, divine! The establishment is absolutely gorgeous. It had been decorated for the holidays and looked great. We dined on the second floor. There are bars on both floors. As we were finishing dinner a piano/bass duo started playing. A perfect ending to a memorable experience. Highly recommend. Lancaster dining scene is definitely raising the bar!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 401 prime , and I have to say, the experience was exceptional. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, creating a welcoming and warm atmosphere from the moment we walked in. But what truly made our visit stand out was the incredible service we received, especially from our server, Nick. Nick was, without a doubt, one of the best servers I’ve ever had. From the start, he made us feel completely at ease, ensuring we never felt rushed throughout our meal. He anticipated our needs without being intrusive—constantly offering refills and making sure we had everything we needed, including silverware for each course and keeping our table spotless. I didn’t have to touch the wine bottle once, as Nick was on top of it every step of the way. While the food was delicious, it was Nick’s thoughtful and attentive service that made this experience unforgettable. When I think back on our time at 401 prime, it's not just the food I remember, but the top-notch service that truly made the evening special. I’ll definitely be back, and I hope to have Nick serve us again

I brought my grandson and daughter-in-law for a preshow dinner. The small room we were seated I had never eaten in before...It was absolutely beautiful...a little cool but much quieter than the main room of the restaurant! Our food was spectacular although a bit pricey. The special was $85 which I thought was a bit much for a smaller filet and a small crabcake. Believe me though this will not stop me from returning to this amazing spot in beautiful Lancaster city!! Lastly our server Benjamin was OUTSTANDING!!!! He was so personable and friendly but so professional. He should train everyone in this business!! Thank you Cest la Vie for another outstanding evening.

This was an incredible dining experience! Our server was fantastic, and the food was delicious as always! One of the best restaurants in Lancaster. Bravo!

Celebrated our 44th anniversary with our first visit to Josephine’s. Heard great things about it and we were not disappointed at all! Food was great, service was excellent, and the atmosphere was just right. Our waiter (Hunter) made the whole experience a great one. And the special menu insert was a very classy touch!!
