    Appetizer sampler - specials menu
    Cat C.

    We dined on the second floor of Yorgos, which has a more "greek" inspired menu. The first floor is definitely more casual- wings, burgers, etc. We had an 8:15 reservation for a party of 4 on a Saturday night and were seated right away. Our waiter was nice, although appeared very rushed throughout everything. Everyone enjoyed their cocktail- I recommend the grassy greek! It was refreshing, fruity, and was a nice contrast to my meal. We shared the appetizer platter, which had delicious three of each appetizer. As a party of 4, we made it work, but we wish there was more of each so we could all try everything! For my meal, I picked the grilled gyro platter. The meat was flavorful and warm, and the pita portion was huge! I was very happy with my meal.

    Husband and I wanted to walk around the Lancaster Center Market and came upon Yorgos. Very nice, quaint place. Adrianne, our server was very nice and attentive. Food was delicious. Hubby had the Cobb Salad and I had the chicken and bacon flatbread.

    The food is way better than the pleasant but mediocre bar atmosphere. Service was spectacular. Food was spectacular. Almost changed my mind after walking in, but the menu looked so much more interesting than anything else's in the whole street. It did not disappoint. The Moussaka was better than Athens GR. The waiter, Jackson was a spectacle to watch. He's New York City excellent!! Will return.

    While the outside of this place looked festive and Greek- food absolutely disappointing. I cannot believe this is a Greek restaurant. Inside is more like a dive bar. My boyfriend's whole order was a mess. The Caesar salad seemed ok to begin with but then there was a hair in the salad so that stopped being edible. I brought it to the waitress and complained. You'd think the manager or owner would check on us after complaining about a hair in the salad, apologize and check on our table and rest of order, but NOTHING. They did bring another one to the table (but we didn't want it). What horrible restaurant customer service. Crab topped burger was edible but nothing to rave about at all. then the gyro platter was delivered, supposed to have no tomatoes, no lettuce and no leaves- but it came with one side covered in all of what was specifically asked NOT to have, which then made that side of the pita drenched and inedible- but look at the gyro meat. Looked like store bought thin sausage. Where do you get gyro meat that looks like this? Again, Not great food, hair in salad, and nothing seemed Greek here. I'd pass on this if you're going through Lancaster, what a disappointment.

    The food was so good we couldn't stop to take a picture!

    We had such a lovely experience at your restaurant. We had the halibut and the Tiger shrimp, they were absolutely delicious. They were recommendations from our server who was also very polite and attentive. It was an overall fantastic experience and we will definitely be back. The upstairs dining room is absolutely beautiful as well quieter than the downstairs which was very nice.

    Yorgos can just go. Terrible customer service. After calling to make a reservation, and being told I didn't need one, we were rejected by the host and an older gentleman, I believe the owner, immediately at the front door. When I told him that I spoke to a young woman on the phone, he said that no women work there. That should be a problem by itself if it was believable. We were anxious to get there seeing the menu and reading the good reviews. We looked past the overflowing trash cans on the side of the building and piles of empty boxes crowding the sidewalk. I'd love to comment on the food and drinks, but if you can't come in. ‍

    Stopped in to get out of the rain during Lancaster Blues Fest - and then stayed for drinks, apps and good natured banter with the crowd. Service was good.

    Spanakopita
    Lauren D.

    The food was really good for some authentic Greek, they also had some American bar food on the menu as well but we did not try this. We tried the mezedes to start which was your typical Greek smorgasbord of hummus, gyro meat, tzatziki, etc then had the spanakopita and pastitsio and a baklava for desert. We really enjoyed everything and would give the food five stars, but after receiving the check it was a little pricey (we also each got a beer) hence the four stars.

I was…read moresurprised that even though the hotel is the nicest place to stay in Lancaster, the bar was packed full of the trashiest people Lancaster has to offer (then again classy people don't go out drinking on a Sunday.) The all male bartenders provided fantastic service, if you happened to be a scantily clad woman; me like all the other guys waiting at the bar were left waiting for sloppily poured drinks for most of the night. The night ended in the classiest way possible, with a shooting. outside of Penn Square.

The atmosphere, the food and the staff at the Rendezvous are excellent. To add to the atmosphere was the music which I learned was actually streaming the bartenders iPod via Pandora Internet radio. This was music to my ears (pun intended). I believe that the good music can be as important as pairing wine or drinks with food and Ashley had it dialed in. While at the bar I ordered a Kettle One Martini with a lemon twist. The drink was delivered and look liked any other martini but then I took a drink. The martini was very smooth and the lemon twist was incredible. In fact it may have been the best Martini I ever had. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, great service and possibly the best Martini's you'll ever have then make it a point to visit Ashley at the Rendezvous lounge. I should mention something about the food since I did eat 3 meals there. Of course the Martini's were a big draw but the food is equally good. Over the 3 nights that I dined at the Rendezvous Lounge I had roasted pears and Brie Quesadilla, Wedge Salad with thick cut bacon, Chesapeake Blue Crab Bisque, Central Market Salad with goat cheese and cranberries and their seared tuna. All of which were presented nicely and tasted wonderful. I recommend any of these small plates depending on what your in the mood for. I look forward to my return visit to the Marriott at Penn Square and the Rendezvous Lounge. I hope to hear Pandora, see Ashley and enjoy some of the other fabulous creations at the Rendezvous.

Check the on street parking kiosk for prices/hours. There is a huge staircase to get up to the speakeasy once you find the red door. The website says there is an elevator if needed. Once inside, you will immediately get the speakeasy vibe with the moody and dark decor, as well as the period appropriate lighting and seating options. There's some small intimate areas, as well as a main bar, a side seating bar area, and a back area with tables and chairs. I would recommend reservations. You can pick the bar or lounge when making reservations on their website. From the moment you enter, you will get terrific service. The host was great and we were early for our reservation, but we were seated at the bar as requested. As soon as we sat down, the bartender greeted us with waters and a sample of a bourbon punch. The entire visit was filled with very attentive staff who were always friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings on the menu. The drinks are well thought out and very good. The quality of the ingredients, as well as the flavor profiles work well. It is very difficult to pick from their crafty menu. We tried a total of 4 drinks and all were delicious. Highly recommend the Papucho - such an excellent mix of flavors that are well balanced and a very unique flavor. Honestly, not sure you will find one drink on this menu that isn't delicious. They do offer a menu of various foods. We ordered the octopus and the roasted monk fish. Both were fantastic. The servings are not big so be prepared to order dental dishes or just come with the intention of not getting a massive meal. They are good portions for a small dinner or think tapas. Overall, they have a fabulous experience with some super delicious drinks. Well done!

Our server was amazing (I wish I remembered his name!), the food was delicious, and the drinks never fail to impress. The only issue we have every time we go is that they unfortunately always run out of a few dishes on the menu (and always seems to be the ones we want)! In addition, calling the restaurant has been difficult, it has often gone straight to voicemail for me. For that reason make sure to make reservations ONLINE (that has never failed). Come EARLY if you want to ensure you'll get a menu item (we often get there around 8 pm or later, some menu items always run out for us). Regardless, this doesn't stop us from coming!

We usually go to the exchange…read moreevery year on our yearly Lancaster trip and this year, being an elite yelper, decided to try a new rooftop bar. I am so disgusted that I even gave this place my energy. We had a reservation for 8:45. We were greeted by skip and he automatically gave me horrible vibes. You could tell he was highly intoxicated. Skip willingly confirmed that he "knocked back 4 drinks". Being that we had a reservation days in advance, I expected a table appropriate enough to fit my party of 6. Instead, Skip put 3 small circle tables together to accommodate us. It was very uncomfortable. It was a little chilly so my husband asked Skip if we could get a table with a heater to which Skip drunkenly called my husband a pus*y. I was completely mind blown. He also wanted us to pay him extra as a tip to get a more accommodating table still without a heater. We decided to get up and leave and go to the exchange. I respectfully told off Mr. Skip to which he responded sarcastically with "thank you for coming in tonight". He ruined my entire night. I was so angry and it was my last night on one of my favorite vacations. Skip, if you're reading this, you should really inquire with a local rehab. And to the owners, you should be ashamed for keeping this poor excuse of a welcoming committee at your establishment where people are paying decent money for an enjoyable experience. To anyone reading this, just make the reservation at the exchange.

I say surprising because my first reaction was disappointment at the small size of the menu. Once we decided to roll with it and take a recommended path of sharing several small plates, it turned into one of those meals that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place. We ordered several elevated small plates, but the standout was the crispy rice with spicy tuna. It was flawless. The rice base was perfectly golden and crunchy on the outside with just enough tenderness inside. On top, the spicy tuna was fresh, buttery, and beautifully balanced -- not overly mayo-heavy, not overly spicy -- just clean, bright flavor. The drizzle underneath added a subtle creaminess that tied everything together without overpowering the texture. Every bite delivered contrast: warm and crisp against cool and silky, with little pops of sesame and microgreens adding dimension. It felt thoughtful, refined, and executed with real attention to detail. Pair that with the rooftop atmosphere -- polished but relaxed -- and the whole experience felt elevated without being pretentious. If this dish is any indication, The Exchange understands how to take something familiar and make it memorable.
