Review The Pressroom Restaurant - Lancaster

Delightful and delicious lunch in historic Lancaster. We both chose the grilled cheese - he selected fries as his side and I the arugula salad, and split them. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent and the setting was both comfortable & beautiful. Grabbed a window seat, though booths also looked very comfy. We were greeted warmly & thanked as we left. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I went to the Pressroom in Lancaster for dinner two nights ago. We were able to place a reservation in advance for the day of and parked in the parking garage which we had to pay for but was worth it. They have on street parking and if you’re lucky you can snag a spot. We got an appetizer each and then chose to have the steak and it was delicious! I wish they would have asked us how we wanted our steak cooked but they knew what they were doing and I loved it! We then split a dessert! It was ice cream with a shot of espresso. This place is very romantic and cute! It’s our second time coming here and I really recommend dining in here if you’re looking for a more formal and dreamy atmosphere.

Beautiful place, beautiful waterfalls outside the restaurant. Our drinks were so good, appetizers were so tasty and our meals were wonderful!! Dessert was soo good! Our waitress such a pleasant and such a sweet girl. She was on top of everything. Definitely will be back!

Very good service from Jeff and his trainee at the bar. Nice selection of bourbon and rye whiskies. The deviled eggs were nicely cooked but could use a bit more seasoning. The arugula and berry salad was very tasty with the lemon vinaigrette dressing. The salad would be amazing if they add some crunch - maybe chopped walnuts or pecans or sunflower seeds. Overall an awesome place.

It was good, service was great. Soup was delicious, as was the espresso martini. Bone in pork was a little over cooked. Great location.

I went by myself and the place didn't disappoint me. The press burger was amazing. Gabriel was poetry in motion and very polite. I will go again. The waterfall outside is something to look at and enjoy.

Food was okay…. We ate 80% of the tomatoes and counted the remainder and there were 56 cherry tomatoes left… That’s simply too many tomatoes… BUT our server was nice… Manager in green was strange. Got overly close and slightly aggressive when we mentioned the excessive number of tomatoes. Maybe they just had too many and we were the victims… Anyways, very nice atmosphere and 5 stars if you’re a tomato enthusiast. Or just avoid tomato dishes. EDIT: this is true, we did not do our research into our menu choices… and we highly recommend the pear and prosciutto flatbread, it was delectable, and as we said the staff and ambience where top tier! we will have to stop by again when we are in town and try some new menu options! all the best!

Amazing after show at Fulton Theatre dining experience! Gabrielle our server was amazingly gracious, attentive, and welcoming and personable . The food was prepared to perfection with generous delectable servings! The charcuterie board starter did not disappoint. Our entrees were spot on amazing! Flank steak with chimichurri was insanely amazing as was the fresh local made pasta primavera . Both entrees exceeded our expectations we completed our meal with the most delicious creme brûlée! Thank you Pressroom and Gabrielle for providing us with a top notch dining experience! You all are AMAZING! We look forward to dining with you again soon!! Mary & Steve K Bel Air MD

Really a beautiful little stroll from the parking garage to the restaurant. Once inside, the warm ambiance is delightful and the staff are friendly. It was a Saturday evening and my wife and I wanted to have a nice dinner date before heading back to Pittsburgh. This place was perfect. It was the best restaurant food I've had in ages, maybe even longer, and we have been all over the place (look at my reviews). Their menu focuses on a few core dishes and, in turn, maximizes their ability to produce a perfect product. The deviled eggs were super delicious. Crisp, smooth, tasty. Not watery or oily. The soup was outstanding. There are little toast crumbles on top for texture. Heaven in a saucer. I had the rigatoni and the waitress suggested I add chicken. She was right! The rigatoni was in a very light cheese sauce. It tasted like a mix between beer cheese and fresh parmesan. It was seasoned perfectly. I didn't even have to add pepper to it, and I put pepper in everything. The grilled chicken was juicy. I was stuffed. We split a piece of the cheesecake for dessert. So so so good. You can't leave Lancaster without trying this place. Trust me!

We stopped in prior to going to a show. The atmosphere is nice and the menu has some good slightly upper-scale options. The food ended up being awesome, the only downside was the service. It was extremely slow, it took almost an hour and a half to get our food. It seemed the restaurant was lacking waiters since there only looked to be maybe 2-3 for the whole place. At one point the entire restaurant started to fill with smoke and they had to open the doors to help get rid of it. If there had been more communication or apology as to why our food took so long and why there was so much smoke I would give a better review.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. Our waiter was very informative on the menu and his recommendations on what to order. I can't wait to go back and have another fantastic date night.

Fantastic place, with excellent food! Steak was perfectly cooked exactly as I wanted it. The service was great and sociable. Amazing atmosphere as well. This is the perfect place for a date night!

Lovely dinner in the Pressroom Restaurant Park Bar outdoor dining garden with music and water fountain. Food was delicious.

We came here out of the blue just to try something a little different. Overall the menu is small but has a decent variety. They are very busy here. However, the food came out speedy and we didn't have much of a wait to get a table. Hard to say anything in any direction because we didn't get to really know the waitress. Nevertheless, the place is very nice and the seating is great, the atmosphere isn't too noisy when it was very busy.

The Pressroom has long been a Lancaster City Standard, And I'm glad to see the new owners working diligently to keep the allure, yet get creative with their new responsibilities. We love the Park Bar, and for this review that is where we dined. We had the Osso Bucco and the Beer Cheese Rigatoni, along with the deviled eggs. These ain't your Grandma's deviled eggs! Soooo smooth, creamy, and delightful. I tell no lies, the Osso Bucco was the best I have had (learned later that it is the new Chef's specialty) All Osso Buccos are not equal, and this one stands out due to it's combination of crunchy crispy outside, and tender soft inside. The roasted radishes were a unique and delicious addition. Whatever "sauce" accompanied was fantastic - hints of red wine vinegar and apples? The Beer Cheese Rigatoni was excellently creamy and the sauce wasn't to "Beer-y" like a typical pub sauce. Of course the cocktails are always amazing here (Kev and Ashley are the coolest bartenders ever). The ambience is of course one of the best in the city with the brick courtyard and lovely fountain always gurgling in the background. If you've never been, just make it happen.

Food was amazing, service was quick and attentive, coffee was GREAT! Highly recommend the French toast and blood sausage!

A valentines dinner to remember. Food was perfectly seasoned. The crab cake is divine, I’ve never had one so light and refreshing!!! Hands down one the best restaurants in Lancaster, if not the best. Friendly staff and attentive. Can’t wait to return.

Nice place in Lancaster. Easily made reservations the morning of through there website. We were a few minutes early but they sat us right away! Food was all very good and it came out quick! Would have rated 5 stars but the server seemed to be trying to rush us out. All in all it was great and we would come back again!

Had lunch there during the week and it was excellent. The Tomato Bisque was incredible - well prepared, presented, and structured. The Press sandwich was very nice - only needed more of the Chorizo as it was lost in the flavors. Overall, a good meal.
