We booked a wedding rehearsal dinner at this wonderful restaurant for a group of 30 and could not be happier. The service and the food were impeccable. The atmosphere was elegant with crisp, white tablecloths and super nice mood lighting. Ladan, our event coordinator, was so attentive during the planning phase and also during the dinner itself. She was such a pleasure to work with and made us feel completely comfortable that everything would go okay, and it absolutely did. The food was incredible- fresh, hot and perfectly seasoned. All of our guests were from out of town and said they would love to move to Lancaster to enjoy the food over and over again. We will definitely be making John J. Jeffries a regular dining experience for our family and for anyone who comes to visit us! Well done John J. Jeffries! You are definitely a big plus for Lancaster and for anyone who visits there.

A memorable meal, that's for sure. The food is fresh and cooked with great care, the staff is attentive, and the wine selection runs the whole gamut but with great local representation. The bone marrow and the duck are both *chef's miss*, and I'm going to hope the kombucha is still there next time I visit!

We loved everything about this restaurant ; the food; the service and atmosphere. Abby our server was amazing; she anticipated our needs and brought everything we needed without us asking. Abby explained everything that was on the menu and off the menu.She checked on us frequently and our glasses were never empty. The food is so good. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary here. We enjoyed the food immensely and Abby was a delightful server. She went above and beyond to make our evening even more special. I highly recommend coming for a special night out. We will definitely be back!

I don't post often, and only post for exceptionable experiences. This is one of our favorite restaurants, even if it's a bit of a drive for us. Everything we've had were high quality ingredients perfectly prepared. Of special note on our last meal was the liver, perfectly seared and a correct temperature, few kitchens can so perfectly execute this dish to such perfection. Great selection of wine by the glass. Worth the drive.

My family and I come to Lancaster once or twice per year, my sister and I stumbled upon this gem 4 years ago. We are both HUGE fans of beef tartare, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they offer it as an entree here, while most other restaurants have it as an appetizer only! Needless to say, we prioritize making JJJ a dinner stop EVERY time we’re in town! We always get the tartare which is fabulous, and all of the soups, apps, and cocktails are always wonderful as well. The staff is always extremely nice and knowledgeable! See you next time JJJ!

One of the best restaurants on the planet, I'm not kidding you, this is my new favorite restaurant in all the world. The neat thing is that it is right here in Lancaster, we discovered it using this new App called "Seed Oil Scout" if you want to eat healthier, I would highly recommend joining. It is new so it is going to take some time for restaurants to get reviewed and listed but there are not very many restaurants serving healthy food to begin with. This place is, Farm to table!! My wife and I were blown away by the flavors, she said that her salad made her think that she was at her grandma's house. I started with their trademark beef tartare which comes with a quail egg in the center, delicious, I ran out of wafers and used the rest of our bread to finish. My wife had a couple of drinks which were very nice. We shared the steak and a taco platter with homemade taco shells. I didn't even want to eat the steak or taco, they looked so beautiful. It didn't end there, the desserts were just as good. My wife had a tart and I homemade peach sorbet. I didn't even mention the service, which was absolutely superb. We will be returning as soon as humanly possible. We have already told several friends that frequent Lancaster, Pa

My first time here on Christmas Eve and the food was amazing and the service was impeccable. My lamb was cooked perfectly. Staff is so attentive. Amazing dinner! I was so impressed. I came back and had a couple drinks at the bar tonight. Excellent drinks and service at the bar also. Very organized and highly recommended. The entire staff was A+!

Food and service were exceptional! Highly recommended. Not pictured is their flourless chocolate cake and salted caramel sesame cheesecake - both which were delicious!!! One note - music was a bit too loud (hard to hear each other talking).

We came back here today during our trip and ordered beef tartare entrée like promised with our waiter last time. Despite we couldn't meet him but the food was exceptional like the last time. ----- The best dinning experience we had in our 3 day in Lancaster. Every dished from this restaurant is good, from the starters- dessert. The staff, he was so friendly and come to check on us frequently, despite we came with our baby stroller and we need to seat in a different room, quite aside from the main place. I'M addicted to beef tartare therefore I should give it a try here. And as expected it was excellent from the taste to the freshness, I also love that they have generous crossing to finish the good amount of tartare, however We still had to order another one because is too. Highly recommended 👌 If we happen to pass by Lancaster we will definitely coming back 😀
