We usually love our time at the Exchange. Last night was def an off night for them. From not having the proper drinkware, to slow service, to cold red wine...I really hope it was just a fluke.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal at The Plough. Their Thanksgiving meal was delicious - except we both would have preferred the Ocean Spray canned cranberry sauce (no judging). Our server Josh was engaging and attentive. Highly recommended.

I brought my grandson and daughter-in-law for a preshow dinner. The small room we were seated I had never eaten in before...It was absolutely beautiful...a little cool but much quieter than the main room of the restaurant! Our food was spectacular although a bit pricey. The special was $85 which I thought was a bit much for a smaller filet and a small crabcake. Believe me though this will not stop me from returning to this amazing spot in beautiful Lancaster city!! Lastly our server Benjamin was OUTSTANDING!!!! He was so personable and friendly but so professional. He should train everyone in this business!! Thank you Cest la Vie for another outstanding evening.
