This eatery, once upon a time many years ago was a little diner, and the original counter and…read morebooths are still there, evoking some nostalgia. The "new" Cloister Restaurant has a new ramp, new exterior, and a new dining room. The menu is extensive with some of the old Pennsylvania Dutch offerings still available. Liver and onions was not on the menu but is available. You just have to ask for it. My vegetarian friend loved their in house veggie burger patty. I ordered ham loaf, not bad, with a side of apple filling. The apples were not in evidence and the taste was rather bland with a mushy texture smothered in brown gravy. Will not get again. The other 4 in our party of 5 ate everything and enjoyed it! Service was good, unsweet tea was good, restrooms clean, establishment nicely furnished. Parking is good and ramp is great at the entrance. Overall a 4.5 rating!

Lots of seating, large varied menu. Service was excellent. My wife had pancakes and I had eggs and scrapple. Everything was well prepared. Gotta love a good diner! Ephrata is a challenge from coffee due to hard water, but the coffee was good too.

I have eaten more than a few times at Gus's in Mount Joy, so today while in Akron we decided to try…read moretheir Ephrata location. The recent snow left a great need for shoveling, and while we found a handicapped place by the door and cleaned off sidewalks, the steps from the car to the sidewalk requires stepping through some piled up snow and some uncleared areas. Still once negotiated it was a straight easy entry. We were seated quickly and I was impressed with the layout of this venue. It has a friendlier vibe and the space is less carved up so to speak. The menu is always extensive. The problem for me is no matter what I choose I don't like it much. This time I got a croquette. Bland, mushy, I don't know. I guess that's how croquettes are. But I just find everything sort of like your big sister's dinner prep when Mom has to work. It's edible but not necessarily enjoyable. Still people love diner fare and with such a huge menu of choices it's a wonder anything tastes remarkable. I think that's it in a nutshell. It's unremarkable. Not bad, but not good either. I will say my companion enjoyed the melted cheese topped crock of tomato soup. So my 4 stars is for wait staff, venue itself, and extensive choices. I took away a star because the food just isn't star worthy, here or in Mt Joy.

Overall we LOVE Gus' Food!…read more We got the Ultimate French Toast, very good New York Style Challah Bread, but no whipped cream or powdered sugar threw us off a little! We would prefer a house made syrup, but the Smuckers syrup got the job done. Their breakfast sandwiches are great! Bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel was delicious. The place gets crowded and there is often a wait, we got there before the crowd so it wasn't too bad. Overall the Ephrata location has tons of seating. Gus' has some of the best homefries around! Staff was very friendly! Pay up at the front, not at your table!

My daughter and I stopped here for lunch on a recent Saturday. The service was just wonderful. We…read moreordered two bowls of miso soup, shared vegetable dumplings, and split an order of the tofu drunken noodles, spiced medium. The meal was exceptional. Everything was cooked to order and served hot. The wonton were crispy and the noodle dish was spiced perfectly. And we had leftovers. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area and craving Thai or need some vegetarian options that other places just don't offer. We will be back!

After seeing Hills to Sea recommended repeatedly in local Facebook groups, we finally decided to…read moregive it a try and now we're wondering why we waited so long. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It feels upscale without being stuffy, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. We started with the crab rangoons and then ordered five sushi rolls: the Creamy & Crispy Roll, Crunchy Crab Roll, Black Dragon Roll, Hawaii Roll, and the Volcano Roll with spicy tuna. Every single roll was fantastic. Not "some were better than others" fantastic. Not "we found a favorite and tolerated the rest" fantastic. We genuinely loved every roll that came to the table. The Volcano Roll with spicy tuna was my personal favorite and an easy 10/10, but honestly there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we wouldn't get again. The presentation deserves its own mention. The rolls were beautifully plated, complete with gorgeous edible flowers and thoughtful garnishes that made everything look almost too pretty to eat. Service was excellent. The food came out surprisingly quickly, but not all at once. Instead, the rolls arrived in small groups, which actually made the experience even better because we could enjoy each one before the next arrived. For two people, five specialty rolls and crab rangoons came to about $80, which is completely reasonable and honestly pretty standard for quality sushi. We will absolutely be back, and we've already started recommending Hills to Sea to friends and family. If you're a sushi lover in Lancaster County, put this place on your list immediately.
