It has been years since I was here, at their old location. We started with the mussels as an appetizer, and if every thing was as good as that, 5 stars no question! But, it wasn't quite that good. Our waitress, was very polite, and nice, however we were never told about the specials, after we ordered we heard her tell another table. We also had to ask for silverware to eat our entrees with. However, what we had off the menu was good, compared to other places in Lancaster, I can't say it deserves much more than 4 stars, maybe 4.2. We were pleased, but many other places we would return to first, not saying we won't return here at some point. There is very tough competition in Lancaster these days with a wide variety to choose from. So if you are not feeling like entering the city, defiantly worth the time. read more

The salad was pretty good lightly dressed, greens not crisp, however, seafood chowder was good. Thought it was loud. Dinner came out before drinks, a bit disappointing. read more

Very nice place. Great Raw Bar sampler for our appetizer. Also, we added a tuna sushi roll for an appetizer which was not as good as the raw bar items. We had the seafood stew and the butternut squash ravioli. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Modern and classy atmosphere. We will definitely will be back. read more

I'm not as fond of the venue as the Harrisburg Pike location. That aside, the food was delicious . Very attentive and professional waitstaff. Nice selection of wines and reasonable pricing. Creative menu. Easy to get to and not so distant . "I'll be back" read more

Unreal. My mouth is still watering from the lobster fettuccine pasta I had last night. Beautifully prepared. Drinks, amazing. This place fits the definition of an upscale restaurant.great service, great food. I'll be back next week read more

Food was good. Waitress was nice but the wait was longer than necessary. Portions were ok but we left feeling like it was not worth what we paid. Somehow we liked the former location and restaurant better. read more

Have been to Gilbratar two times. The plus side is the fact of no music to argue with clients and great measure given to help with sound in restaurant. Both times the soup was barely luke warm. Both times salad and sandwich I was not impressed with at all. Beef with cheddar cheese on rye bread. Looked huge but mostly bread and in my opinion left over beef. Great looking French fries. Now the humor starts. Never salt anything but French fries. Found the salt shakers and the one with three holes versus one hole. Can you believe the three hole shaker had pepper in it. Very politely told the waiter as I handed him shakers thinking an error. I was informed the man in back is European and wants it the European way. Fine have it your way but, you are in USA and sure ruined my French fries. read more

Second visit here and the food remains delicious. It is hard to find good, fresh seafood in Lancaster county and I was very sad when the first location closed on Harrisburg Pike. Cauliflower, potato soup was a little bland, but the entrees were all delicious (table ordered the fettuccine with lobster, swordfish special, salmon and ciopinno. In addition, they have a children's menu which is always a bonus as we feel it is important to take the kids out and teach them good manners early. Wait staff was excellent. Looking forward to going back. read more

The service is excellent. The staff is phenomenal. It's refreshing to find a restaurant of this caliber in Lancaster County. The food is amazing. You can make reservations on Open Table. Give them a try...you won't be disappointed! read more

Went there on tuesday at 7, it was half empty and seemed to be lots of staff. Got seated, water and.menus. waitress disappeared. Came back 8 minutes later to ask if we were ready to order. We had to ask if we could order drinks. Drinks took a while but were ok. She then read the specials. Felt rushed to order even though it was empty. Bread came.out, not very fresh or good. I had the seafood chowder and tuna carpaccio, food was ok. Definitely not worth the price and service though. read more

My family and I went to Gibraltar to celebrate a special occasion. Our food was excellent and presented nicely. Upon arriving, our coats were taken and the receptionist was friendly with a smile. The gentleman who took us to our table was also friendly and treated us as one would expect to be treated in such a nice restaurant. I'm afraid it went down hill from there. Our waiter was less than friendly. He was professional, making sure our water glasses were supplied faithfully. Our orders were taken and served by smiling servers. His manner however, was curt. When we were finished he put the bill on the table without a word. That would have been bad enough, but we heard him wish other tables a nice night and weekend. His demeanor turned a celebratory happy night into a less than perfect occasion. Our tip was not our usual one, but a little less. I would recommend Gibraltar for the food, but don't ask for Michael to be your waiter. read more

Pleasant professional service, good drinks, good salad (fairly small, but just perfect for me) and a wonderful lobster pasta dish (with generous amounts of lobster.) Loved the old venue but this is very attractive as well. Only hitch was a bit of delay between first and second courses. We will definitely go back....especially for the bourbon, basil, ginger drink. Yum. read more

Very slow service. Waited for 10 minutes to be seated. Server took drink order 25 minutes later drinks arrive. Server takes our dining order 1 1/2 hours later. Scallops undercooked was supposed to be seared. Sorry I don't see the attraction here. read more

Sunday brunch. Two people. Matt, our server, was running around in circles.very polite. He kept apologizing. We felt the kitchen put him in that position. We ordered eggs, potatoes, bacon dish and a fish taco dish. Iced tea and water. No alcohol. Matt brought a basket with four danish in it. Tasty, while we waited. Breakfast dishes were tasty also. Decided to order dessert - big mistake! Waited over twenty minutes for a seasonal berry tart with ice cream. What we were served was one of the apple danish from the bread basket with the ice cream... after 20 minutes!!! We observed two tables of two who arrived after us, ate, and left before us. Not in a hurry to return considering the price. read more

Food was excellent, nice presentation but....major issues with kitchen service. It wasn't busy at the time when we were there. Appetizers came out in reasonable time. Then the wait, over 45 mins for dinner. With little explanation except they were backed up, I don't know from what. Once our dinners were served to 3 of 4 of us, the other dinner came out 10 mins later. Very awkward for us, when to start or let our food get cold. The manager came over and apologized for the wait with the explanation they try to serve everything fresh. For the prices we were paying, I expect the food to be fresh but also expect great service. The manager did offer a complementary dessert to us for the extended wait time, a nice gesture to make things right. We had good friends and had nice conversation during our wait, but with all the good restaurants in Lancaster, I don't know if Gibraltar deserves a return visit. read more

Love the atmosphere at the new location! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and everything was on point. We tried a sea bass menu addition for the evening that was fantastic and the lobster fettuccine was excellent as well. The blueberry martini might be a bit pricey, but it's delicious! All in all, a lovely evening. read more

Although, I haven't had the opportunity to return since my previous review, the management contacted me and offered a sincere apology for the issues we experienced. Since I did enjoy my first meal and most of my second, it only seems fair to update. read more

The food is as good and probably better than the old location, and the service is Phenomenal as well . We had a wonderful waitress Britney who was absolutely wonderful and took out the time to explain the menu and all of the delicious drinks !! I'll definitely come back over the summer read more

Good food, service needs work. First, the good - wonderful atmosphere, decoration, although a bit bright for getting the ambience right at this price. Food was good, although it's one the most expensive restaurant now in this part of the city (or in any part of Lancaster). The bad - 1) we must have had 10 visits from the waitress, other staff and the manager, all in about 30 minutes. After a while it became a joke, we couldn't have a conversation without being interrupted and I seriously considered offering the waitress to dine with us, because she had spent most of our dinner standing next to us. 2) we told her clearly that we did not eat meat (any kind) and the fried green tomatoes came with shrimp. 3) One item was never delivered and never mentioned again. 4) it's felt fake and overly formal - in a stuffy and nervous way - like they're playing the part of a sophisticated european dining experience in a school play. Take a chance and smile. read more

The menu is not quite as interesting or creative as at the old location, but it is equally well-prepared and tasty. Service is excellent. Only the ambiance leaves something to be desired, in no way approaching the elegance of it's prior incarnation. read more

Glad that they reopened and have similar menu that we loved before! Convenient location with parking, nice place. My husband and I went there for our anniversary. Staff is very attentive, food was tasty and perfectly cooked (I had fish, and my husband had steak). Will definitely return. read more

Glad to see Gibraltar back! Our waitress Journey was great! We both had the salmon, prepared to perfection!

Lovely ambience, very good food - it was busy so had to wait a little longer than we wanted to for our food - however it was worth the wait! Good service. read more

Disappointed. Miss the old Gibraltar! Servers too inexperienced, layout of new building brings much traffic through dining area; miss Majid; redundant menu; only thing new is the address. Long time fans likely not returning. :( read more

I agree with some of the other comments I've read here, but what counts is food and service. And they were the best I've experienced in Lancaster for quite a while. My lobster appetizer and halibut main course were both truly amazing. My wife had fish taco's for her main course - which actually weren't on the menu, but she noticed them on Gibraltar's website and was looking forward to it. When we inquired as to why the Taco's appeared on the website but not the menu, our server promptly excused herself, went and spoke to the chef who agreed to make them! How's that for service? The other thing worth mentioning is the superior level of service. Its a long time since I've seen servers who know how to serve and take away a plate. The Maitre'D offered to explain his 'special selection' of wines that were not on the menu. Its true the 'new'Gibraltar is different than the old one, but in many respects is much better. For one, the acoustics in the old place were awful. This restaurant is smaller, but a more thoughtful design. It's easy to find. (I had to use Google maps on my iPhone because the shopping center is new). But the main thing here is that the food and service was truly outstanding. And I have not been able to say that about a restaurant for a very, very, long time. The entire experience was worth the visit and we'll be back. read more

We always enjoyed Gibraltar at their Harrisburg Pike location and were disappointed to learn that it closed a few years ago. The new location looks just like the old one with a huge map of Europe positioned on one of its main walls. We went for a brunch and loved everything we ordered: lobster omelettes, French toast and mushroom gruyere cheese omelette. The service was attentive and quite pleasant. We plan to stop in for a quick dinner at the bar, just like the old days. read more

Like many, I was excited about my first visit to the new Gibraltar. We were seated promptly and attended to immediately. The main part of the restaurant, where the bar is located, was pretty full and very lively. We were seated adjacent to that area which was quieter...fine with me. Having just come from Pour where we had a charcuterie board "snack," we headed right to ordering our entrees. All three (beef filet, scallops and fish filet...don't remember the type) were nicely prepared. One of my friends substituted the avocado salad for his starch. Call it what it is...guacamole. Deserts were just OK. My creme brûlée was tasty but the caramelized top was prepared in advance. (There was no warmth to the dish.) And the cheesecake was a disappointment. Prepared in an individual small...and I mean SMALL...flan-type baking dish it was barely enough for one, let alone to share. The dish was garnished with sliced strawberries, etc. Here, the name of the dish was lost. Cheesecake should be CHEESECAKE with less fussiness. The layout reminds me of Checkers Bistro but much less rich and formal. I will go back and I look forward reading other reviews and recommendations! read more

Gibraltar is one of my family's favorite restaurants. We visit frequently and enjoy the many appetizers and entrees that they have to offer. We particularly look forward to their daily fish special. The service is very good. We would highly recommend! read more

My wife and I are thrilled to be able to eat at Gibraltar again. It has always been a favorite place for us. My wife had the Tataki tuna and said it was the best she ever had. It was a wonderful evening. read more

Went to the new restaurant for brunch. Creative and delicious menu! Fresh, homemade pasta cooked perfectly al dente, delicious sauce, amazing combination of duck, peaches, and goat cheese in our omelette. Very pricey though compared to other brunches in the Lancaster area. Great location, and decor. Service was good, very relaxed environment, didn't feel rushed at all and appreciated being able to relax and take my time for a Sunday meal. Hope that Friday night meals feel just as relaxed, in the true European spirit! Hope to try it again for a special occasion in the future. read more

We had a group of six on Saturday night. We got seated timely but after that everything was slow. it took at least a half hour to get drinks in fact the appetizer arrived before the drinks. No follow-up if anyone wanted a second drink. Very poor service. The food was well presented and 5 of the 6 liked their entrée. The pasta with crab was very light on the crab. Where we sat the room was noisy so not very good for conversation. Our group will probably not return. read more

Best fine dining in lancaster county. The atmosphere and the ambiance combined with the food guarantee you a perfect evening.

Gibraltar was one of my all time favorite restaurants prior to their move. I was so excited to experience them again and was very disappointed in so many ways. We arrived a bit early, so decided to sit at the bar for a cocktail. The bar area is very appealing - nice atmosphere and what looked like a huge selection. I asked what kind of orange vodka they had and was told they ran out? Saturday evening and they didn't stock this? I was also not offered any suggestions either, which typically happens when what you request is not available. The restaurant appears to have 4 different rooms/sections which is far different then their previous space, which was so open and airy. We were seated against a wall and felt the space was cold (literally and figuratively) - not even any artwork on the wall where we sat. The service was ok - felt a little forgotten at times. As for the food, the oysters were terrific! But the rest of our meal was only average at best. Fettuccine with lobster was very small and not much lobster. It also felt one note - nothing special. I had the fisherman's chowder, which contained one shrimp and 3 mussels; the rest fish pieces, which was rather disappointing. I will say that the creme brûlée was a rather tasty way to end an overall disappointing evening. read more

What a great restaurant to enjoy for my birthday! The food was amazing ! Came out piping hot and in a timely manner. Their menu was great, felt like I was back in Philly with the vast options they had. My family and I commented on how great every single thing sounded, it was hard to choose! Appetizer we got the grilled octopus which we all shared, cooked perfectly, not chewy or rubbery. For our entree's I went with lobster fettuccine, my fiancé and mom got the butternut squash ravioli, and my dad got the seafood ciopinno. Everyone loved their dinners. Had to get dessert for my birthday and they brought out a creme brûlée with happy birthday written on the plate in chocolate! Very great experience, will definitely go back. One of the best restaurants I've been to in Lancaster. Not the cheapest place but it was great for a special occasion. Also, their bar was really cool, wouldn't be opposed to having drinks there sometime. read more
