Sat in a visible spot with a group of six people and was unable to get even a single beverage after waiting for about 20 minutes if not longer. Bar became busier so we left. Nice atmosphere but obviously can't candle a crowd bigger than 15 people at a bar with 2 bartenders. read more

They had us at rooftop bar. It was too windy and chilly to sit outside, but we had gorgeous views of Lancaster, PA as we sipped our wine. The happy hour offerings for wine did make us very happy, but we were a little disappointed that the gluten free and vegan options were quite limited. But the wine and views and ability to relax and chat brought us back for a second round on another day. read more

Unfortunately, all around Plough was a disappointment. Our server, Jay, was the least attentive I've ever had. We can only presume he was heavily distracted. He was exhibiting concerning behavior. He didn't look at us, but rather off in a different direction when we were ordering. He also started walking away while still pouring water into our glass, getting water on the table, which he didn't notice or clean up. Very bizarre. I informed him of a severe gluten allergy and specifically asked him to kindly make the chef aware. My appetizer, which took 45 minutes to come out had bread on it. I spoke with the manager and asked for a different server and to look into why Jay was so distracted. When it comes to restaurants who offer gluten sensitive items, they need to be accountable and take intolerances and/or allergies seriously. I would have ended up in the emergency room if I presumed it was gluten free bread (it was not, the server dropped the ball in notifying the kitchen). They brought out a new server who was much better. But other than that there are no redeeming factors to this restaurant. The beet tartare was overly salty and didn't taste good. I had the hen of the woods mushroom which wasn't too bad but wasn't delicious either and took over an hour to come out. It was underwhelming and after everything that went on I was really hoping I would be wowed by it. We chose Plough as we are staying at the hotel. After being tired from traveling the day prior and attending an all day conference, we wanted to keep it simple.... Grab something quick and head back to our room. It wasn't quick (it took a very long time), it wasn't simple (mistakes made) and overall we just wish we went elsewhere. We would have been better off at the Subway across the street... read more

I hate writing a review about the service because maybe someone was just having an off day, but seriously no one I interacted with even looked at me when I was talking to them and I have seen some other people comment on the service. Our waitress, she didn't bother to check if our drinks needed refilled and when she did stop by the table it was one word, monotone answers (sure. no. ok.) - almost like she couldn't be bothered. Look, I was a waitress, it's hard and stressful and sometimes you have terrible customers, but my Mom and I are were all smiles after having a great day, despite the rain, popping in and out of places around the market and we were excited for our dinner. The minimum we could have gotten was some hospitality, but our visit honestly was a downer. The whole experience made it seem like they didn't even want us there. On top of that, the food was just... meh. My mom had the Vegetable Grain Bowl which she said was good, but I had a Lamb Bolognese that just fell flat. And honestly, I couldn't enjoy it because I just felt that unwelcome. It was a not so great ending to an otherwise great day in Lancaster :( read more

I tried. I really did. After my last disappointing experience at Plough, I decided to give it another try. Just like before, the staff was welcoming and pleasant. The drinks were good. Customer service here does not fall short at all. They're very good at it. We started with apps - the cheese plate and the grilled watermelon. The cheeses weren't anything exotic, but they were solid choices. The condiments on the plate, whole grain mustard and lavender-infused honey, far outshone what we had the last time. The focaccia is fantastic. I could make a whole meal out of the bread. The grilled watermelon was a special that was recommended to us by our server. It was sweet and a little spicy, very refreshing on a hot summer evening. I was hopeful. Given the good start, I figured we were well on our way to a dining experience 180* from what I'd had the last time I ate here. Then the entrees came out. I had ordered the catch of the day, tuna. It was supposed to be cooked to a medium-rare. When the plate was set down in front of me, though, I was confronted by a grey piece of meat. Seared tuna should not be grey. Globules of fat still clung to the side of the steak and hadn't been seared off. When I cut into the tuna, it was raw and cold to the touch inside. My friend's chicken dish also did not win any raves. They took a bite or two and said they couldn't eat something that was swimming in a lake of butter. I can't speak to the flavor since I didn't try it and they didn't say. We had somewhere to be, so we didn't try any of the desserts. I don't know that I'll give Plough a third chance. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant space. Definitely gives off a big city vibe like Baltimore or Philadelphia. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and very efficient. The menu is farm to table fresh combining local flavors with Asian, Italian, Mediterranean. We started with the house made focaccia bread. Really delicious with a salty crunchy top but super moist. The breads bottom is soaked in a light oil drizzle that literally makes it juicy... you have to experience it. Lamb meatballs excellent as well as the roasted chicken entree. Fabulous bar menu that also has non alcoholic choices. This is a great place to bring a group of friends or just a date night for two. read more

The past few months I have been OBSESSED with the Fall menu. Everything is so fresh and savory. I love the focaccia and carrots for appetizers, and the pumpkin zucca pasta is phenomenal! The pumpkin espresso martini was absurdly good, but I think they may have taken it off the menu. If not, you must try it! read more

Our first time here with my husband. We stopped by via recommendation of a bartender at its sister establishment, The Exchange, and loved it. We had the Side Car and Goddaughter for cocktails choices, Brussel sprouts for appetizer, Cauliflower dish and Plough Burger for main, and crème Brûlée for dessert. All the choices were out of this world. Do yourself a favor, book lunch or dinner here, you won't regret it! Service is very personable! If we visit Lancaster again, this place will be at the top of the list for us! read more

Reservations on the weekends is necessary. Great place for families; can be rowdy at time with the bar. Nice beer selection and outstanding sangria. My wife said, "oh my gosh this is so good" after in bite of the grilled piri piri chicken. Burgers were also good. Not pictured is the calamari. At $20 it was pricey, but it's not pictured because we ate it before I remembered to get a picture. Solid dinning establishment with good service. read more

One of the greatest meals I've ever had. The chef must be complemented for the beautiful plates, the luscious flavor profiles and make my dining experience marvelous! The service was fabulous. We went back for lunch the next day. The tomato soup was divine. The use of Aleppo was brilliant and if you are ever in Lancaster, do yourself a favor and go to Plough.

Incredible. I came here for lunch a few months ago and was absolutely disappointed but my mind was easily changed after dinner tonight. First, our server Jack was top notch, attentive, intelligent, and overall made our night. We ordered the harvest salad and mushroom soup for starters. Both were incredible. We then ordered pumpkin squash pasta and the mixed seafood grill. The serving sizes were generous and the food was incredible. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a really great dinner. The ambiance is great as well. We were fortunate to sit in one of the gorgeous booth sections which was spacious and romantic. My hope is that the lunch service will eventually match the dinner service. Really good quality and high class. read more

The food was delish and our server was okay but not too sure if we came at a bad night. We had reservations at 8. The party before us was not ready to go so this caused us to wait a good 45 mins. From then on of course on a Saturday night the kitchen would be delayed so we placed our orders around 9:00 and got them an hr later for only an order of 8. The party I was with was shocked at that stating that they have been here before and this has never happened but to me as much as the food did taste good, I won't be going back. The service could have been better and like I said the server you could tell was doing the best she could but clearly it was one of those nights that just wasn't the best. As for the ambiance it was a beautiful place for downtown. read more

The food was amazing, but right when we sat down, my daughter took her shoes off (just to let her feet feel relief because she has a blister) and our server came and said, " Keep your shoes on. This is a restaurant." She put her shoes on, but after that, our server kept on ignoring her and never made eye contact with her when he put her food on the table... so weird! He made us feel unwelcome just because my daughter took her shoes off. Her feet were under the table too! Any way, terrible service from him! read more

Listen, great vibe and in all fairness, the food is seriously good, but who can deal with this level of service? The bartenders are nice enough, but just don't get real good customer service! These girls and guys must have been told to sell as little alcohol as possible. I guess the owners of the Marriott are ok with the $15 burger money and 1 beer/customer! Do yourself a favor, go to the Pressroom or any number of restaurants within a few blocks that actually WANT your $! read more

We put our names in and were told a 15 min wait for four adults and two children. There was nowhere to wait, and it was clear their goal was to make us wait as long and as uncomfortably as possible by being rude and telling us to get out of the way every chance they could. They sat other tables ahead repeatedly. 25 min later, no table. 10 min later they cancelled our place on their waitlist without warning. Save your time, find somewhere else. No reason to support rude/unkind establishments when there are plenty of other options available. read more

I usually disregard restaurants associated with hotels, but this restaurant is exceptional. Everything we ordered was incredible. Cocktails and the focaccia appetizer were amazing and delicious. We ordered the scallops and the burger. Both were perfectly cooked. Scallops were to die for. The vibes were cozy, intimate date night, and the restaurant wasn't too loud. Highly highly recommend!! read more

Ok. So all in all, not bad, but not great. Pass on the lobster and the old fashioned's for sure. The venison was exquisite. Mac and cheese, delicious. Staff is friendly but food is slllooowww. Especially on weekends. Probably won't do again for the price. read more

WOW! Came with the hubby for his birthday dinner. We were visiting Lancaster for the weekend and Plough seemed to have a great menu. We came and ordered the apple cider martini and it was so good!! Usually my hubby and I get different drinks but we both were feeling the sweet cocktail selections. For the appetizer we got the squash ricotta toast. OH MY LORD! Delicious. We couldn't finish it before our entree arrived so I ate it the next day for breakfast and it was STILL delicious. We both got the truffle ramen for our entrees. We loved it. So comforting and a great take on a classic. 10/10 We hope to return on our next visit - Eileen read more

Lovely little spot inside the Marriott. Super convenient for this rainy day and not wanting to go anywhere. Hubby and I started with the bakes scamorza with honey and apples accompanied by grilled bread. DELISH. We decided on the "winner winner family chicken dinner." Boy did we overestimate our hunger. Could likely feed 4. Chicken was delicious but noticed part of one of the legs was undercooked and juices not running clear. Sent it back, chef said it was "to temp" and it was bone blood. Not true. This was pink juice running from the meat, not the bones. So i just left that piece of chicken to the side. It was covered in a really yummy carrot romesco. Sides: hassleback sweet potato, hot honey skiller bread, chow-chow, cole slaw, and a delicious spaetzle mac and cheese read more

The first and second courses were quite good. However, the dessert arrived with pale flavorless California strawberries on top while we are right in the middle of strawberry season here in Lancaster County, where the world's best strawberries are grown.

oh where to begin. My wife and I had been to this restaurant two years ago while visiting the Lancaster area and staying at the Marriott. We had an excellent experience on that visit so we made a reservation for a party of six to celebrate my 24-year-old daughter and my 27 year old son birthday. We drove an hour and a half just to revisit this restaurant. And let me just back up and say that the reservation experience was actually difficult and slightly unpleasant. I had to call twice to leave a message because our party of six was too big for open table and it took more than 24 hours for somebody to get back to me. but we did get the reservation made. It was for 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. When we got to the restaurant seated, we noticed candles on the table the little oil candles we asked if they could be lit and they said no, that's only for dinner which I found would be quite disturbing as if I was and not capable of having a candle on my table in front of me for ambience. When provided menus, it turned out that it was a lunch manual. This was o'clock in the afternoon, which I but we didn't realize it was a lunch menu. We thought we'd be able to order dinner as well and that's what we had all planned so instead of a full dinner, we ended up ordering handheld sandwiches, French toast and salads. for six people five meals came out sporadically one at a time over the span of maybe five minutes and my daughter's meal came out about 10 to 15 minutes later when all the rest of us were done our a cheesesteak just like one of our other party members. no explanation for why so long just a mess up in the what we were told when we got our bill there was a 20% charge added immediately because of the size of the party and we felt this was really inappropriate given the way the meals came out. It was not ideal. Additionally, we did order two desserts. One of them was decent. Tasty the other either still frozen or stale they were willing to take that one off of the but it still came to $300 for sandwiches French toast and two appetizers. I'm so sorry to say we won't be going back because we really had a great experience the first time but inexcusable at the cost that we can't have a candle and that the meals would come out so poorly. read more

Plough is a great restaurant in the heart of Lancaster. It's connected to the Marriot and it has such a elegant and vibrant vibe to it. This was my second time here and the service and food.

This is a great space for a birthday gathering, date (which was when I first went) and just a place to grab a nice cocktail. read more

What in the ^%# did I just eat?? Stopped in for a quick drink and dessert. Ordered their $15 drink called "Bad Decision" and it sure was. Was expecting a little more of a drink than what they gave me for the price otherwise it wasn't too bad. Let's get to the desserts that we ordered. We couldn't make our mind up between the chocolate cake or the smoked maple custard so we got both- and took the chocolate cake to go to our room. The smoked custard was so unexplainable in flavor. It tasted like it was topped with bacon and cigar smoke. NOT good at all. It makes me nauseous th about it. We get to our room and decide to try the chocolate cake around midnight. I was excited to open up the little container of what I thought was frosting. Don't you know it was Cream Fraiche (very similar to sour cream)?? Yes it says that on the menu- but I was expecting it to be sweetened. Nope- took a bite of sour sauce. The cake itself wasn't bad but definitely ANOTHER bad decision. What a disappointment.... read more

I got there late and just wanted to grab something to eat to go. Huge mistake! I ordered the crab mac and cheese...I was given a miniscule portion in a little to go cup. When I got home and saw it, was very disappointed. Then, when I went to eat it, there was virtually NO crab meat contained therein. The was no crab meat discernable in it at all. I felt cheated. With all the great restaurants in downtown Lancaster and another hotel restaurant with outdoor seating and great food (Imperial), why would I go back to the Marriott and risk another bad experience? I paid $13 for a few tastless noodles...! Essentially, I paid $13 for a .75cent Kraft macaroni meal... read more

We have been to Plough a few times, but today was the ultimate disappointment. My friend who is Kosher and Vegetarian got brussel sprouts and it had bacon chunks on the sprouts but were underneath them. She ate a few peices until she realized and when she found out it was beyond upsetting. She has never eaten pork in her life. Unbelievable. The manager came and comped her meal and desserts which was nice but still shocked that they would and could even make that mistake as a high end establishment in the area. Really disappointing... they should be able to accomodate vegetarians which is a common food restriction. read more
