- TToddVIPPhiladelphia County •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTreated ourselves to delicious post-Christmas lunch before going to The Fulton Theater. The holiday and winter decor make for a festive dining experience, but the food and beverages were "off the charts" fantastic! Highly recommend the French Country Chicken served in a skillet and the 9oz Filet Mignon.More infoC'est La ViePrice: Expensive• European• Lancaster•4.8

- XXavierWashington, D.C. Area •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA Birthday to Remember at Belvedere Inn For my birthday dinner, my wife and I decided to celebrate at Belvedere Inn, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The ambiance was simply enchanting—elegant yet inviting, with soft lighting and a touch of sophistication that set the perfect tone for the evening. The attention to detail in the decor was remarkable, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and intimate. The menu was a culinary masterpiece, offering a variety of dishes that appealed to every palate. Every plate that arrived at our table was not just beautifully presented but also an explosion of flavor. We Started out with steamed mussels white wine, garlic, shallots and house made bread. I opted for the chicken piccata, cooked to perfection, while my wife savored the pan-seared scallops w/ veggies and chopped lobster, which was rich and creamy without being overwhelming. The dessert—a chocolate hazelnut richer with caramel and cocoa crumbs—was the cherry on top of an already extraordinary meal. What truly set Belvedere Inn apart, though, was the service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made thoughtful recommendations that elevated our experience even further. To our surprise, the staff also brought out a complimentary dessert to mark my birthday, complete with a personalized message. In every aspect—food, ambiance, and service—Belvedere Inn exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or simply indulge in an unforgettable meal, I wholeheartedly recommend it. We can’t wait to return!More infoBelvedere Inn Restaurant and BarPrice: Expensive• American• Lancaster•4.8

Discover Ephrata
Nestled deep in Pennsylvania Dutch country, Ephrata is an area that has drawn travelers since the early 1700s. German and Dutch settlers brought with them the homey, hearty food that locals enjoy to this day. You can watch the local Amish and Mennonite populations driving their horses and buggies along the winding roads while enjoying a dish of chicken pot pie Pennsylvania-style and hot from the stove. A favorite holiday dish of locals, pork and sauerkraut, can be enjoyed any day of the year. Make sure not to miss dessert because shoo-fly pie, made from molasses and brown sugar, lives up to its name with enough sweetness to "catch a fly." Ephrata offers a peek back into history with a menu that even the most modern person can enjoy to the fullest.
