    I came here for dinner while visiting Lancaster PA. I do not understand why they only have 3.5 stars. The service, food & drinks were delicious. It's beautiful inside and it's an old cork factory. It is very cool and the bathroom walls are basically cork. I had the dirty martini w blue cheese stuffed olives - delicious! Than for an app we split the crab dip. It was huge. For two of us we didn't finish and came with tons of bread, breadsticks & crackers. For dinner we split the blackened swordfish & steak. Both were very delicious. My son had chicken fingers and apple sauce. I'd absolutely go back.

    Tonight we met our son and his girlfriend for a holiday dinner and couldn't have enjoyed the experience anymore. Our dining lasted a solid 2 hours and to our good fortune the restaurant chairs were so comfortable it actually enhanced our stay. This restaurant is a converted manufacturing plant and today's restaurant captures the architecture from the past 2 centuries. Very cool place that's inviting and tonight's service from Doug was welcoming. We started the evening with a few beers and the girls had Blood Orange Sangria and Apple Cider Mimosa which were delightful. We had the Oysters Rockefeller and Crab Dip Apps, both great but the Rocks were more like small stones. Our entrees consisted of 2 Wellingtons, the Pork chop which was huge and the Duck. The Duck got all the praise but every meal was inhaled. Deserts were above average and no coffee offered nor needed after that heavy consumption. This was a great dining.

    Cork & Cap located in the Cork Factory Hotel is a delicious and romantic spot for any occasion. We arrived a little early, so we had to wait to be seated because it was such a full house! Definitely worth a visit, the food is delicious and the service is swift and accommodating.

    Chocolate Cake with Strawberries! Delicious!

    I will spare you the drama and disappointment our group of 4 experienced upon arrival to find the room we anticipated would not be made available.... BUT we stayed and dispite our poor attitudes, the food was outstanding, our server Karen far exceeded expectations and worked diligently to enhance our evening... AND the Manager, Kaylan, gave the most gracious, sincere and professional apology I have EVER received! We left happy and will be certain to return. Food: be sure to get the hush puppies, petite Caesar Salad, Salmon, and the fabulous meatloaf!!! We were so busy enjoying the food that I forgot to take pictures until dessert!

    This is my absolute favorite restaurant. We got married here and came back for an anniversary dinner. We were given a complimentary champagne toast. The food was amazing, the ambiance is classy and relaxing. Mike was our server and he was 10/10 just like the food.

    Outstanding dinner & service on a Saturday night at 8pm. I had my go to seared scallops appetizer, which now had crispy pork belly included. It was divine. I had a split of Freixenet. The short rib Wellington was soooo yummy. My friends all enjoyed their various entrees & my vegan friend also had an appetizer & entree she could eat. We split 2 desserts. Everyone loved the atmosphere & ambiance of the place & the food was so good we basically licked our plates!

    Perfection. Rustic yet sophisticated ambiance. Attentive and friendly wait staff. Food beyond expectation. Highly recommend!

    Duck
    Alexandra Z.

    We've dined at Cork & Cap twice now and I cannot stress how friendly the staff are. While this restaurant is both cozy and approachable, the food is also fantastic with a southern twist. The duck is my favorite - far surpassing similar duck dishes I've had around the country. They also do southern staples well such as their collard greens and hush puppies. This is such a lovely restaurant and the service makes it all the more special.

    Our server, Mike, was a delight! He was friendly and graciously answered all questions, provided meal recommendations, and graciously allowed us to bring in our own cake and the staff cut it up for our party of 13 ($3.50/ slice cutting fee) worth it! We were celebrating and everyone loved their food. I personally had the duck and the skin was properly rendered, veggies cooked to perfection, and the glaze brought it all together.

    Introduction:…read more Representing 2018 in alphabet series, O is for On Orange. The letter O only has 5 of the 8 possible years represented in the alphabet series. Interestingly, 2 of them are in Lancaster County, PA. This was prior to my parents moving to Lancaster in 2021. In March 2018, my girlfriend of that time & I took a day trip to Lancaster. I lived in Montgomery County, Maryland (near DC) at the time, and we were meeting up with a friend who was living in New Jersey kind of in the middle. We agreed to meet at On Orange at 12 PM on that Sunday, March 25 since we were driving from far away, and I think they were doing a day trip too, but possible they stayed a night in town, not sure. Also, On Orange closes at 1 PM too, so even more reason to be punctual. My g/f of then was notoriously late & took a long time to get ready. She was taking too long to get ready, and I knew we needed to leave if we even had a chance of making it on time. After a while I said I don't want to do this, but I will leave without you & meet my friend (& his girlfriend). I started the car and texted you have 1 minute to come out, and if you aren't out, I'm leaving without you. My timer reached 0, and I slowly was driving off, but I saw her shuffling with her coat and what have you leaving, so I waited. We got in the car, and I rushed off. If that weren't bad enough, my g/f said we needed to stop at her bank to get cash. Of course, there was none right within route, but saw a location right off I-83 in northern MD, Hunt Valley, but we wasted more time to get off the freeway, for her to go to her ATM, & get back on the freeway when we were running significantly late. I said we are running significantly late as it is, so why are we wasting more time. She claimed in case there was something she wanted to buy in Lancaster, but that was not the primary purpose, but I'll get to that at the end. I was panicking on the significant late, and that the restaurant closes at 1, and I drove above 100 mph at times on I-70, which I think was the only time I've ever gone that fast on 70, and maybe only 4 times ever in my life reaching that speed. Experience with the Restaurant: This is street parking around here, which was free meters on Sunday. We got a decent parking spot a block away. We walked in at 12:50 PM, which was 50 minutes LATE and 10 minutes before On Orange's closing time of 1 PM. My friend & his girlfriend were already done eating. He said that they had their stomach set for eating at 12, and there was pressure to order since it's not a huge place and pretty busy. I was annoyed with my friend for not waiting for us, but I get it because let's be honest, my g/f fault on that one. Server was cordial, and my g/f & I quickly ordered. Food came out quickly. We ate quickly, and my friend & his g/f watching us eat. Food was delicious, and they were quick, but to be fair, they were closing in 10 minutes, so they were motivated to get out of there. I got a pancake & egg dish as I recall. This was a top notch brunch. In spite of the negative experience of being so late because of my g/f, the experience at the restaurant was excellent. Conclusion: After brunch, we looked around downtown, Amish Farm (see my 5-star review of them written in April 2018), etc. and was overall a nice day with the 3 of them albeit very cold. After we left, I took the back road from I-83 all the way back to Germantown, MD where she lived to see something different and to save a little gas too since it's pretty direct going that way. My g/f was complaining about it taking so long getting back. I knew she was meeting up with a friend that night. But what I later realized, she wanted to stop at an ATM that morning really because she needed cash to pay that friend for cannabis that night. So, she disrespected everyone's time for this. I guess on a positive at least she wasn't cheating on me with that guy and really was just for pot. In conclusion, I thought On Orange was top notch, and they were accommodating to our time schedules.

They do this mystery beer thing which is just a cheap beer but it's fun and feels on brand for the place. Food wise the beef tips are the move. I would honestly go back just for that. Good spot overall.

    This place was BUSY on a Saturday night (a good thing for a restaurant and a good sign for those…read morecoming in for the first time)... we didn't have a reservation, having planned to late, but they do keep tables open for walk-ins and despite being told it was an hour wait (whatever, we knew we ran that risk), we were seated in 15 minutes - Luck, maybe? But awesome all the same! For how busy they were, the server was very attentive and very accommodating as we were yapping away and constantly not ready with our orders so kuddos for the team and putting up with us! I love the mystery beer concept, its not great beer, but being from DC at like $2 a can, I am not passing that up, ever. And a cheap beer with a burger is the perfect combo! On to the burger... I have heard that this is a great burger... and I have to conclude that I agree though it is reminiscent of a Big Mac - just way better ingredients - it has to be the sauce they put on it... Anyway, nice size patty, good amount of toppings and a quality bun (not too soft, not too thick, bread soaks up some of the juices but doesn't fall apart). The mussels were quite excellent as well. It was a Thai curry broth the night we were there and it was drinkable, like soup... we did ask for extra bread... enough said. I am going to take a minute too and praise their spirit free cocktails. THIS IS HOW THEY SHOULD BE MADE. They used bitters, tonics, etc to craft something that tasted like a cocktail but without alcohol which means they were not sickly sugary concoctions, but expertly crafted beverages. Just really great options. All that said though, their espresso martini was one of the worst I have had. Just skip that.

Our party of 4 ordered 3 appetizers: the cheese board, the short rib eggrolls, and the New England clam chowder. The clam chowder had wonderful flavors, but did seem to be lacking in actual clam meat. The PA Preferred cheese board was a nice selection of soft and hard cheeses and paired nicely with the honey, fruit and bread. The egg rolls were excellent and I would have loved to have had an entree that was based around the short rib as it was that good! I ordered the grilled NY strip as my entree. The dauphine potatoes were wonderful with a crisp top and gooey interior. My steak, however, was a bit disappointing. It was cooked to the requested medium-rare temperature but did not have much flavor on it's own. The bordelaise sauce was very good and had a nice acid balance. The steak was just not seasoned as well as you'd hope. There was also a lot of sinew that was difficult to work around. My husband ordered the scallops on special that evening. The scallops were cooked to a perfect level, but the rice had bits that were hard & undercooked. I was expecting top-level food as the head chef/owner served not one, but three US Presidents. The cocktails and wine selection were a high point. We had a regular old fashioned and a blackberry margarita that were absolutely divine! We split a bottle of the Primarius pinot noir from Oregon and all enjoyed that as well. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.
