Weâve been by many times and it has had good reviews online so we decided to give it at try for dinner after looking at the menu online. After getting seated, our drinks, ordering, and the actual food took forever. No one seemed to be in a hurry to offer service other than the hostess who checked in several times and even got our drink order. When our food did arrive, my bangers and mash barely had any potatoes...I didnât care as much as I could/should have as I was starving at that point, On top of that, some college kids came in and were yelling next to us. I realize itâs a pub on Saturday night, but it didnât seem to be a college bar where all the constant yelling would be ok. It took 2 hours from the time we were seated until we were eating, and not because we spent time just chatting it up. This place has a lot of potential to be a cozy, enjoy-yourself pub, but there are a few things that need taken care of.

The pizza was great, the service was lacking. There was a guy by the door on his phone most the time and then he would work behind the counter at times. Once the cashier saw I wasnât tipping she basically threw the card back at me and went on to the next customer. Stick to the pizza if eating there, the other food was not very good, lacking seasoning and spices.

We enjoyed a delightful dinner at The Pressroom during our vacation. It's a busy place, and we didn't have reservations, so it was lucky that we got seated. The food was good, and the waitress was terrific.

We ran across Garfieldâs on our visit to Lancaster. We stopped by in the afternoon to view the menu that is posted inside Eden resort & Spa but on the outside of Garfieldâs restaurant . It clearly stated that they had lump crab meat crab cakes, my favorite! So, that evening we decided to enjoy a nice meal there.I was very disappointed to find that their crab cakes were made of lump crab meat, imitation crab meat 6 different âother fishâ three different types of breadcrumbs and mayonnaise! NO THANK YOU! When I asked if the chef could perhaps make a crabcake using just lump crabmeat I was told no they were all pre-prepared. Quite disappointing!Ended up having the ribs, which were good, but just not what I had in mind.Keep in mind IF you go there, it is quite noisy as a lot of families stay at Eden, definitely not a romantic dinner place. Loud! Lots of kids..They have a salad bar, soup station which was well appointed. However, no bread at the station. Two garlic sticks come with your meal. Mine however was dropped and the server did not replace it.Chopped up serving areas, one to the left as you walk in, one to the right and one in the window. With all this space available you would think they would sit couples away from families..I have 5 grandsons and love them with all my heart, but sometimes you just want a quiet meal!Thank you for dining with us at Garfield's restaurant, and for your constructive feedback. We are sorry that we did not meet your dining expectation as these are not the type of comments we hear from our guests very often. I spoke to our executive chef about the crab cakes and he assured me that our crab cakes are made from a traditional recipe of lump crab, breadcrumbs, mayo, and seasonings. Our culinary and restaurant staff prides themselves in providing excellent service to our diners and great value for the quality and selection of our menu. I have shared your concerns with my staff, so we can work to make the necessary improvements. We hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in Garfield's restaurant by allowing us to serve you again in the future.

It's a beautiful space, inside and out, upstairs and street level. It serves delicious food, from regular menu and with specials. Its cocktails are creative, not overly fussy, and just scrumptious. It hosts a live Irish seisun monthly, on Sunday afternoon, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and speedy, all the time.

Visited this Saturday around Noon, quickly seated in a booth, our food choice was the sirloin tips sandwich (steak was tender) and very tasty, as was the fish tacos.For bears we tried the Lancaster lager (nice light beer) and the amber lager, which had more punch. Overall very impressed with the quality of the food and good beer choice, next time will try a beer sampler.

We were in the area for an event and decided to try JB Dawson's for dinner on a Saturday evening. I will start by saying that everyone thought we had a great meal. I has the Fish n Chips. The fish had a very light but crispy coating that surrounded a very flaky fish. Three large pieces came in the plate along with the shoestring fries. A very good dish with wonderful taste. Well done. My wife had a pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto and parm. She loved every bite. My brother-in-law had a steak, and I quote, "This is the best steak I have had in 20 years!"Another member had the Prime Rib with the corn on the cob and he cleaned his plate. Several other members had dishes with some type of 'Oscar' topping with chopped asparagus and everyone raved about the taste. So overall it was a great meal and I would have rated it as excellent except that the server failed to ever come by and refill our beverages. Other than that I would definitely recommend this restaurant for everyone. davidbmarietta24, thanks for the very kind review. I'm so glad to hear that everyone in your group loved everything. I am very sorry to hear that we failed as a team to fill your beverages. We pride ourselves on great food & service and it sounds like you only received 1/2 of our commitment. Please ask for me next time you are in town so I can put a face with your name. Sincerely, Robert Lautenbacher. General Manager.

Four of us went here for dinner and enjoyed the meal. The food was good, the atmosphere was fun, but not too loud. Our server could have been more attentive, but was polite and friendly. Not a great experience, but worth our time and money.

Didnât like that the hotel was so far from the main center of everything. There was a mistake when booking. We were suppose to be in a king bed, and idk if we were early or late for the check in but they had changed the room number with white out. I feel they gave the room with king bed away. There was a guy at night that was very very nice, however the girls during the day were not helpful at all.Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the opportunity to understand where we failed to meet your expectations! I will pass your comments along to hotel management so that we can learn from our shortcomings. Thanks!
