John J. Jeffries is a must-visit if you're in Lancaster. My husband and I went in late July 2009 for an early anniversary dinner and were ecstatic. The restaurant's philosophy of local sourcing is sound and well executed. We're from the DC metro area and found the price-value ratio dead on. (We had a similarly priced but lesser quality dinner... more

My boyfriend and I are both gourmands and excellent cooks, and we just had the pleasure of eating here. What AMAZING food! We travel for work all over the country, and we've sampled some of the best restaurants in the US, but John J Jeffries is tops. The food was incredibly fresh, inventive, and prepared with terrific skill. The flavor... more

Lovely ambience, interesting menu, exemplary service. Based on renewable resources, the menu is fairly simple but each item is well done. The beef and bison is grass-fed so be aware that it will have great flavor but is a little less tender than usual restaurant fare. more

We made a reservation and when the Host returned my call he asked if it was a special occasion. When we arrived we were greeted and seated quickly and the servers brought out complimentary sparkling wine for the occasion, our anniversary.... more

Although my absolute favorite is to sit casualy at the bar with a friend or two and have a drink and a couple small plates - such a comfortable bar to eat at and very friendly & knowledgeable bartenders. I'm so glad this place is here! more

I've been 3 times, and have had wonderful food and experiences. However, I consider this a special occasion place. It is very much 'fine dining', but I wouldn't call it snobby. I did have a server one time that had a bit of a condescending air about him, but he didn't provide poor service. I have always enjoyed the food,... more

We were staying at the Lancaster Arts hotel for a Christmas getaway and decided to try John J. Jeffries. I love the organic menu and local products, but honestly, thought it was overpriced. The food was good, but not spectacular, and it's quie pricey. The atmosphere is pretentious, though our server was very friendly. Nothing really wrong here... but I'm... more
