Very nice venue. Although it was full, the noise level permitted conversation. Attractively decorated. Knowledgeable, attentive service. Extensive wine, priced reasonably. My friend had two different cocktails and enjoyed both. Varied menu made it difficult to choose our selections. Each was fixed just right. Although it was a crowded Friday night, we never felt rushed. We'll return, soon. read more

Tried this new restaurant on Monday, Labor Day. Yay! Happy to find a good restaurant open on Mondays! And yes! It was great! Perhaps because of the holiday it was empty and that may have enhanced our experience. We had personal and quick service. The food was very good. The entrees are not large but we shared appetizers (goat cheese dumplings were a hit) and the food was light and nicely seasoned. Desserts were also great - particularly the maple creme brûlée and the olive oil cake. Seating was very comfortable. Will return. read more

We had a gorgeous, perfect meal here last night. Upon walking in, was so impressed by the ambience--what a welcomed upgrade for Lancaster! Everyone from the hostess to our server and runners were so hands on, and delivered outstanding, customer-forward service. We ordered a modest bottle of white that was crispy and delicious paired with the blue crab bisque (divine), crispy brussels (so tasty), and the prime burger. We can't wait to return and try other dishes. Loved it! read more

I was presented with two options for my burger order, pink or no pink. Unfamiliar with this binary way of talking about cooking beef, i opted to use the traditional nomenclature instead and asked for medium. She said ok, but I learned later that asking for medium somehow puts you in the "no pink" category. Well, true to the unasked-for label of "no-pink", my burger was burnt to a crisp. Why must we choose between dry-as-dust meat covered in acrylamide and bloody red beef that still has a pulse? And how could they offer such a miserable choice and sell the end result for $15 with a straight face? Anyway, i wasn't pleased and i probably won't be back. But i'm giving them two stars because i did have a nice breakfast there on a prior visit... at least they couldn't mess up an egg sandwich. read more

This was my first time at Plough. It's gorgeous inside and our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive. They're going for unique flavor combinations but some just don't work. My scallops were perfectly cooked but oddly paired with beans that had a pinto in sauce quality. We ordered two different desserts that were completely ruined by an over abundance of salt. They were inedible. Cocktails we're also delicious but extremely overpriced. You can get better handcrafted cocktails at the same price point at Horse Inn. Overall, we were underwhelmed. read more

We have enjoyed two delightful evenings at this brand new upscale restaurant where the staff is extremely attentive, friendly and knowledgeable, the meals are delicious and sophisticated and the decor, while upbeat, is very relaxing and not sound active (for a welcome change). Try to sit across from the kitchen to get an idea what process the chefs are involved with if you enjoy how things are created. Our favorites so far are the chicken liver mousse small plate, the rotisserie chicken, the guitar spaghetti with lobster and the burger. We will be back soon! read more

See all

Went to Plough with some work colleagues and had an awesome experience. Mo, our waiter, was phenomenal! Will definitely be back!!

I ordered French toast. It was NOT cooked thoroughly and was soggy. I just knew I should've gotten the burger. My sister ordered the biscuits whith ham gravy. She was also disappointed. It looked like vomit and tasted just the same. Soda was watered down too. Definitely won't be back read more

There for work for a weekend, had drinks then decided to have dinner there, then brunch. My partner is Celiac and the whole staff was fantastic with suggestions and re-making something that accidentally may have been cross contaminated. Zen was a phenomenal server for dinner and for brunch on Sunday we were also well taken care of. We could tell they were understaffed, but not by the service or food. Would recommend this restaurant. read more

Maybe it was just a bad night. Service was almost non existent. Waited almost 1 hour before order was taken. Soft drinks were warm. $36.00 steak was too tough to eat. Kitchen agreed and it was taken off our bill. Coffee order was forgotten before Waiter was reminded of it. Signature desert was Apple Crisp which turned out to be not very crisp. All in all, the Plough was a disappointment. Unfortunately, our first and last visit. read more

What can i say? Well crafted cocktails. Amazing food! We went anticipating ordering multiple small plates AND entrees. We were pleasantly plump after sharing ceviche and hummus. The fry bread was off the charts. A soft boiled egg on my hummus? Alright, I accept. My husband picked a drink called the Bad Decision (of course) but it was right up his alley. We found the ambiance comfortable without being pretentious. I want to try the scallops and rotisserie chicken next! read more

My boyfriend and I went for a late night bite around 9:00. The service was absolutely horrible. Our waiter was rude and visibly did not want to be there. He made comments to us when other customers came in to eat. We got our food before we got our drinks. Our drinks finally came about 25 minutes after we ordered them. I ordered a seasonal drink, which tasted spoiled. I sent it back and they tried to charge me for it. The food was okay at best. Unfortunately I would never go back due to the service and waitstaff. read more

We have eaten lunch at Plough before, but this is the first time we had dinner at Plough, it was a great experience. The atmosphere if warm and fun, cocktails were well crafted, the food was delicious and the service was good. The menu selections have something for everyone, we even had a vegetarian and he had many options to choose from on the menu. I would highly recommend Plough, it's not a hotel restaurant, it's a restaurant that just happens to be in a hotel. read more

While I understand that the COVID-19 restrictions placed upon restaurants has made serving customers difficult and time consuming, I never thought that I'd wait 40 minutes to only up and leave without being given menus, water, drink order, etc. My boyfriend and I haven't been out often throughout the pandemic and were really excited to be out on date night. We were disappointed we had to wait 40+ minutes and then go elsewhere for dinner, especially after being ignored so distinctly. read more

I am a frequent traveler to this hotel. Consequently, I rely on the on-site restaurant for many meals. I am quite disappointed with the menu for Plough. It isn't friendly to the frequent traveler. I have had the snapper, salmon, and the burger. All were adequate at best. Many the dishes are not adequately described and the choices are very limited. The wine list isn't bad. The bartenders and friendly and helpful. Hopefully, things will improve with time. read more

Really great dining experience at Plough. Checked out Plough for dinner while visiting Lancaster this weekend based on a Philly blogger's recommendation and it didn't disappoint. The food, cocktails, and wine were great. Tried the hummus, short rib, and fish special and all of it was really good. The service was excellent - surely one of the best servers I've had at a restaurant. read more

Unimpressed. Had scallops and they were not prepared correctly- were rubbery and dry on edges. The bean ragu with it was flavorless and couldn't detect any chorizo whatsoever. The cocktails were fine but definitely weak on the liquor for the price. The entire party I was with felt the same. Only positive I have is the waiter was nice. They really need to up their game for the prices they are charging!!! read more

Made a reservation for a large party (10 people) work event 3 weeks prior via phone. Called myself to confirm reservation the day before. Called by restaurant the day of to tell me reservation couldn't be honored and had to be pushed back 1 hour. I will not be back. read more

Worst dining experience I've had in a while. Was there once before and wasn't thrilled with the food or the service. Only returned because of long wait times at better establishments due to COVID-19 restrictions. We made a reservation for 815pm. While I understand COVID-19 has caused many challenges for restaurants, Plough handled the challenges soooo poorly. It took them over 30 minutes to seat us. Once we were seated, we sat roughly another 15 minutes with no one coming to check on us and take a drink order or food order. The server said he's be right with us, but despite saying this, looking at us multiple times, and never appearing, we decided to get up and leave. The service was horrible, as it was last time, the food was horrible (because we never got to eat), and everything about this visit was horrible. I will never return, and I'd urge you not to try this place either. The Chinese place we went to after however was phenomenal! read more

I'm dreaming about their burger. It was soooo good. My husband and I both had one and it was delicious. We are from Montgomery County but will travel to Lancaster for the Plough's burgers. Yummm read more

First time at Plough. Great atmosphere and surprisingly excellent food! Unfortunately the service was more or less non existent. All the staff was nice but there was next to no coordination between them and our server literally disappeared after taking our order until it was time for the bill. I must say the food runners were great and tried their best though!. If they can find a way to get the front of the house in order we would love to give it another try, but since at least a bit of service is an important part of an evening out, we will not return until we hear they've improved drastically. read more

Stopped in on a Monday night. We were excited because the place looked really lovely. The ambiance was nice, but that was about it. We got sat at a table for 4, even though there were only two of us (and we had specifically said "only 2" loudly and I even remember holding up my hand signaling "2"). After we were seated, we waited for at least 20 min before the server stopped, saying "oh, so sorry, they told me there were 4 of you". After that, we ordered food and I ordered a mixed drink. Our food came out relatively quickly - but for $14.... not sure I'd say it was great, or filling. We finished eating and my drink still wasn't brought to the table despite the waiter assuring me the order was in, but the bar was "just super slammed" (Monday night at 9; id hate to see it on a "busy" night). Since we had, at this point, been there for an hour, I cancelled my drink order and the waiter offered me a "sprite on the house". Thanks but no thanks. I typically am very low fuss and usually super understanding, but, the vibe of this place did not match the service or food. read more

I was at Plough Saturday night with my husband from the outset nice fancy upscale bar restaurant but gos downhill after that. First off it's a hotel restaurant noone staying long that a night or two with that in mind the server says he has exciting things to tell us about the menu, I thought the specials, no he preceded to tell us about items that they were taking off the menu on the Monday, seriously I'm there for one night I don't care what items will no longer be on your menu as of Monday when I'm back in the Bronx. I order the bistro steak cheap piece of rubbery steak not worth $28, my husband had the 1/2 chicken which looked like a dogs dinner when it came out, chicken way under cooked & pink, server seen this when picking up plates & never even asked if there an issue, to stay disappointed is an understatement & when the server doesn't even ask if there was an issue they already know the food is bad. read more

We had a great Vodka Martini and Manhattan at the bar. The bar tender was friendly, knowledgable and mixed to very good drinks. The food experience was adequate. One of us had the Pork Chop with Turnip Puree and creamed kale. The Turnip Puree was that sort of taste treat that one expects and looks for. Great taste and perfect texture. the rest was "fine". The creamed kale was slightly distasteful. I had two small plates. The Black Bass Ceviche was ok. Nothing special and certainly not up to the standards set by Ceviche experiences I have had elsewhere. The flavor did not pop. I also had the Rotisserie Cauliflower with Lentil Salad. The Cauliflower was very good and played a minor role in the dish. The majority of the dish was the Lentil salad which I looked forward to. It was, "ok". Not particularly tasteful or unique but not too bad. The wait person was nervous and seemed to be anxious to get away. They forgot to mention the specials or greet us in any particular fashion. That is not a big problem but could have been more gracious. In general I would say that Plough is a good concept with many menu items that appear delicious. They will have to make big improvements if they hope to rise to the standards being set by the Lancaster culinary environment. We will surely return for a drink. read more
