Review specifically for dining, not cafe…read more Spectacular evening with friends at the Farm Table! From start to finish, everything was delightful! Purchasing the suggested pairings (ahead of time) added to the overall experience. We also had wines that were brought on preference and the paired wines won out every time as they perfectly complemented the prepared courses. Our two servers were friendly and attentive, explaining every course and refilling our wines without asking. Present, yet out of the way. The atmosphere is very cozy in the back of the cafe at Talula's Table - the original table as opposed to the smaller kitchen table added a few years back. Reservations still take a year (though it's easier to snag a cancelation or weekday as they recently added online reservations in April 2026). However, it was well worth the wait (and I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it)! We left stuffed between the hors d'oevres, eight courses, bread, surprise course, and plenty of wine to wash everything down. We experienced the Spring 2026 menu and look forward to dining again in another season.

During a day of exploring New Castle this past weekend, we had lunch at Jessop's Tavern. The…read morerestaurant has a ton of history - it's located in a building originally built in 1674. It's been many things in its history, but it's been Jessop's Tavern since 1996. (The family who owns the restaurant named it after a cooper named Abraham Jessop, who lived and worked in the building in 1724.) The restaurant has a great menu of food (including dishes inspired by the cuisines important to New Castle's early history: smorgasbord, a Dutch-inspired pot roast, etc.) and an incredible list of beers (200 Belgian beers, 20+ Belgian beers on draft, and more). We shared the Jessop's Tavern Crab Dip (served in a sourdough bread bowl) for the table, and I had the New Sweden Meatloaf for my entree (meatloaf with a vodka cream sauce and lingonberry preserves). I also had a couple of colonial ales - Washington's Porter by Yards Brewing Co. (I liked it so much, I had two). The service was good, and the ambiance is great: full of colonial charm. I'm sure there are other great places to eat in New Castle, but eating at Jessop's Tavern is a special place to grab a meal if you're spending the day exploring New Castle and learning about its history.

As expected, it was a busy Friday at the Lancaster Central Market, one of the best places to…read moresupport small businesses. Since it's been some time since I last shopped here, it was a treat browsing all the vendor stands and seeing what foods are available. As a garden/flower enthusiast, you know I had to check out the flower stands like Perfect Pots and Inspirational Blossoms, both with fresh blooms. For lunch, after a taste test, I opted for Soulcialze, which provided generous portions of mac n cheese, collards, beef brisket, and cornbread. Tables are provided for lunch or snacks, but we had to wait a few minutes because none were available. At Lancaster Central, you can expect a friendly atmosphere in this beautiful historic building, where the local community shops and supports. I usually secure parking via parking apps at the Hager lot or one of the two nearby parking garages.

"For it's always just a short walk To the oldest established…read morepermanent floating Crap game in New York" (Guys and Dolls) Well, we didn't exactly have a short walk to the oldest established permanent Farmer's Market in the United States. That's because on our visit, three of the parking garages bordering the market were full, and by the time we found street parking (you'd better polish up your parallel parking skills) it was close to a 30-minute stroll to this historic landmark. The market goes way back--all the way to 1730--when local farmers rolled into town with whatever they'd harvested and sold it in what was then just an open field in the center of the growing community. Today, it is home to over 65 vendors selling fruits & vegetables, meats, poultry, fish & cheeses, fresh baked bread, pretzels, pierogis, handmade dishes, smoothies, flowers, hot coffee, sweet treats, and even pickles. We had a blast wandering through the crowded aisles and picking up a few odds and ends. If you love jerky and meat sticks (as I do), you will walk out with a ton of goodies (as I did).

We started with a few drinks, mine was run of the mill but she had the expression Martini and it was really good! Our waiter was extremely enthusiastic about the specials and he sold them to me hook, line , and sinker. I started with the Burnt Ends and my lady ordered her favorite, the Wedge salad. Her salad was a nice crisp portion of iceberg lettuce and the Blue Cheese dressing was home made and you could tell. It was a good start to the meal. The Burnt ends were very tasty and rich so the pickled onion was a great topping for them since the acid complimented the rich flavor. For our main dishes, I ordered the special Beef Wellington. I have seen this on Gordon Ramsey shows but I never had it. It was good, not great. The bottom had dough that was undercooked and raw. The truffle sauce it came with was earthy and rich. The steak was cooked medium but it was a little less tender than I had hoped. As I was eating it I thought that I'm not sure what cut of Beef they use for Wellington, but overall, it was pretty good. It came with garlic mashed potatoes and they had great flavor, but a little too much salt for me. Glori got the petit filet and shrimp Marsala and she really enjoyed it. The shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly. We got desert to go so the photos didn't make the review but the Cheesecake and the mud pie were an excellent ending to a really nice nice out. I would definitely go back and I enjoyed our meal.

The hash brown wedges were pretty good, as was the French toast. And they had 100% pure Vermont maple syrup Overall, good value but overhyped.

We came for breakfast and were seated quickly and had a very attentive and helpful server. Thank goodness we had already decided on having breakfast because the menu was impressively extensive! We got the Hungry man special with a rambled eggs and French toast and the Country fried Steak with gravy & eggs with a side of Rye toast. The portions are larger than we expected for the prices and solid belly fillers. Both of our meals came with Home Fries but they are closer to hash browns (which was our preference). Clean, tasty and great service all around, a solid spot added to our local breakfast list!

Mrs. K. hadn't really encountered a classic Northeast-style diner before, so this outing was a bit…read moreof a cultural introduction. She was visibly impressed--maybe even overwhelmed--by the sprawling menu, which read like a novella of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Despite the dizzying array of choices, she played it safe and went with a plain waffle. It arrived golden and crisp, though she spent more time marveling at the laminated menu than the food itself. I went for the Country Omelet, which the menu claimed was made with two eggs, but I'd wager they snuck in a third. It was generously stuffed with onions, tomato, ham, sausage, and bacon--essentially a breakfast sampler folded into one fluffy parcel. The toast came on the side, along with a mountain of home fries that could've fed a small scout troop. It was hearty, satisfying, and just chaotic enough to feel authentic. The diner wasn't particularly busy, so the lapses in service were a bit puzzling. Coffee refills were slow, and the toast arrived cold as evidenced by the unmelted butter still spread on top. Still, we weren't in a rush, and the main dishes hit the spot. It wasn't perfect, but it was warm, filling, and gave Mrs. K. a taste of the regional diner experience. Quirks and all.
