- JJayme1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoEverything was expensive, but it was for a special occasion, and I knew that going in. Our server, Robert, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, both in the food and preparation, and for the atmosphere. As expensive as it was for my modest income, I would highly recommend Josephine’s, even if you only go for special occasions! The food, service and experience was definitely worth it!More infoJosephine'sPrice: Expensive• Modern European• Lancaster•4.9
- RRyannePhiladelphia County •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTypically it’s difficult for a restaurant to pull everything off perfectly.. from the moment you enter the building to the time you leave.. but The Belvie Inn did just that! The restaurant is beautiful, the service was excellent, our dishes were always cleared promptly & the courses were perfectly spaced that we didn’t feel rushed at any point or that we were waiting. Also- most importantly the food was outstanding. We will definitely return many times! Perfect spot for your romantic nights out!More infoBelvedere Inn Restaurant and BarPrice: Expensive• American• Lancaster•4.8
