The Belvedere Inn

Beautiful building both inside and out. Bar was lively and their signature cocktails were fabulous. Once we got sat for dinner we had the lobster and crab dip and mushroom arancini were good. The dinners however were not worth the money. Short ribs were very bland and lacked flavor the sides had way to many flavors going on. The Scallops were very good but again the sides were not very complimentary and way to much sauce. If you go here get the appetizers and drinks and call it a night.

I am not one to write reviews but this place absolutely deserves one!! We had such a wonderful experience. My husband and I do not get to go out much. We were celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary. I was able to snag a last minute reservation day off due to a cancellation. I had called the day prior and they had nothing which was a great sign. The woman I spoke to said to call the next day around 1pm after they do confirmations and see if anything opened up. It was our lucky day!! The food, the service, the ambience was GREAT! They had a cute little sign on our table wishing us a happy anniversary. We literally finished everything they brought out, and somehow managed room for dessert which was amazing as well!! We will definitely be back!!

My wife and I decided to try the Belvedere for our 1 year anniversary dinner. We have wanted to try this place for awhile but never got around to it. We both had a wonderful evening. The staff were all very friendly and polite. Our waitress was great and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. The food was great and cooked well. I had the elk and my wife the short ribs. Both were tender and flavorful. We enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance.

My daughter and I celebrated my birthday here. The staff are very friendly. My table had a happy birthday card from the restaurant with my name printed on it. Food was amazing - freshly and thoughtfully prepared/served (they split dishes for us ahead of time as we were sharing a few things). Our waiter did a wonderful job helping us select items on the menu that we might enjoy. Prices were very reasonable. The outside patio view was exceptional - filled with beautiful greenery (and yet no bugs, to our pleasant surprise). It was absolutely lovely. When we left, a staff member at the front asked how we enjoyed everything. This restaurant truly cares that your entire experience is above and beyond.

The architectural style and interior decoration of the restaurant record the luxurious life of the former owner. There are many delicious restaurants in Lancaster, but dinner in a historic building is more special. Mahi mahi fish was good but no sauce. But the vegetables are mushy and I can't see what it is.

I’ve been to the Belvedere a few times now and I’m so impressed every time! Yesterday my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and the restaurant put “Happy Anniversary” cards on our napkins which was such a nice touch! We felt so welcomed by our server Jimmy who was exceptional!! I was sad to see the chef’s crab cakes not on the menu but the lump crab gratinee was the perfect substitute! We also got the mushroom arancini and we both agreed it is one of the greatest things we’ve ever tasted! We now want to spend our anniversary dinner here every year. 10000% recommend! Also, the espresso martini is a must!
